kailasa Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 All acaryas write this - SBT, Rupa Gosvami, Madhavendra Puri, Srila Prabhupada. Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu show own example uttama devotee. ISKCON sahajiyas follow SP, read booka SP, not reead another books. "Whatever is to be learned of the teachings of Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura can be learned from our books. There is no need whatsoever for any outside instruction. " "I have given you TLC, what need is there to read Caitanya Caritamrta translated by someone else. You are right to stop such reading."

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Exactly, that's why the confidential servitors of the Lord are always making arraingements to seperate Radha and Krsna from each other, after all seperation is the highist form of madhurya rasa. Therefore I am always meditating on my gurudeva trying to keep Radha and Krsna away from each other. Makes perfect sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kailasa Posted February 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Mood Gaudiya it is eternal separation. Serves Radhs Krisna it is Krisna lila, Lord Caitanya bring another mood. Samhoga it is PART spiritual practik, SP write - "for nephits". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Separation from Krsna implies: separation from union with Krsna. We want to serve Srimati Radharani in Her highest separation mood. According to Srila Sridhar Maharaja, Srila Bhaktivinode Thakur wanted to serve at Kurukshetra. It was at Kurukshetra that She felt that although She was with Krsna that She really wasn’t, because they were not in Vrndavana. Without Vrndavana it was useless. She was so close yet so far away. So Srimati Radharani and Sri Caitanya don’t desire separation but rather it is the nature of the ebb and flow of the Lila. Yet it is this intense separation that is drawing out the ultimate limits of unlimited prema within Her. So in this sense separation is higher. Yet from another viewpoint union is higher. The whole topic is inconceivable to our material mind, acintya. Still we will become so audacious that we will think that separation and union are fodder for our sophomore debating club.

kailasa Posted February 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Worship in separation is considered by the Gaudiya-Madhva-samprad?ya to be the topmost level of devotional service. According to this conception, the devotee thinks of himself as very poor and neglected by the Lord. Thus he addresses the Lord as d?na-day?rdra n?tha, as did Madhavendra Puri. Such an ecstatic feeling is the highest form of devotional service. Therefore, Vaisnavas in the Gaudiya-Madhva-sampradaya say that the ecstatic feelings experienced by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu during His appearance came from Sri Madhavendra Pur? through Isvara Puri. All the devotees in the line of the Gaudiya-Madhva-sampradaya accept these principles of devotional service. --------------------- If you read comentary sahajiyas you not able understand mood Lord Caitanya.

kailasa Posted February 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 No. Needs follow ACARYA. If you follow acarya then you understand most exalted rasa. It is not formal reading. It is SPIRITUAL process. SP theach? most exalted mood. If you follow (dikas guru+siksa guru+books SP) then you understand. Svarupa Krisna lila too, but svarupa Krisna lila not main thing. Gaura lila most superior. It is real. "The pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu are even more ecstatic than the pastimes of Lord Sri Krsna. In Lord Caitanya’s lila the loving exchanges reach their quintessence. " "Lord Krsna, appearing in His full manifestation as Caitanya Mahaprabhu, came to His own abode Navadvipa-dhama where He felt a much great pleasure than in Vraja-dhama. " Prema vivarta Jagadananda Pandit Vipralambha it is top madhurya rasa, it is real. IT IS bring Lord Caitanya and Srila Prabhupada. IT IS gift Lord Caitanya.
