Bound by Love
The reputation of Lord Ramachandra for having killed Ravana with showers of arrows at the request of the demigods and have built a bridge across the ocean, not the real glory of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Ramachandra, whose spiritual body is always engaged in various pastimes. No one is equal or superior to Lord Ramachandra, so I did not need the help of the monkeys to defeat Ravana. MEANING
As stated in the Vedas (Upanishads Svetasvatara , 6.8):
na ca tasya karyam karanam vidyate
na ca tat-samas cabhyadhikas drsyate
parasya Sakta vividhaiva sruyate
svabhaviki jnana-bala-kriya ca
"The Supreme Lord has nothing to do, and no one is equal to or greater than Him, because everything is done naturally and systematically and energy." The Lord has nothing to do ( na ca tasya karyam karanam vidyate ), all his acts are hobbies. The Lord does not have to comply with any duty of obligation to anyone, however, comes to protect His devotees or kill their enemies. Of course, no one can be the enemy of the Lord, who could be more powerful than him? In fact, it is possible to be your enemy, but when the Lord wants to indulge in their pastimes, down to the material world and acts as a human being, showing His wonderful and glorious activities to please the devotees. His devotees always want to see the Lord victorious in a variety of activities, so that, to indulge himself and to please His devotees, the Lord sometimes agree to act as a human being and make wonderful and extraordinary hobbies satisfaction of the devotees.
Srimad-Bhagavatam 11/09/1920
The monkeys help
Why Lord Ramachandara accepted help from the monkeys to beat Ravan? He had no need. He is supreme, no one is equal to or greater than Him. Why did you accept the help of the monkeys?: To give pleasure to His devotees. No other reason.
The Supreme Lord does nothing, but by His sweet will operate its multiple energies. The Lord does not have to do anything, na ca tasya karyam karanam vidyate . All that the Lord does is his hobby. The Lord has no duty to perform to satisfy anyone. However, he appears to act in two ways: to protect His devotees and kill his enemies. Of course, no one can be the enemy of God. In the Gita (9.29) Krishna says:
samo 'ham sarva.bhutesu dvesyo na me' sti na priyah
e bhajanti your mam bhaktya mayi te aham capy tesu
I am fair to all . Nobody is loved and no one is hostile to me.
No one can be the enemy of God because no one is equal to Him Who could be more powerful than the Lord? No chance of any to be his enemy, but when he wants to indulge during hobbies, the Lord descends to this material world and acts as a human being. In this way the Lord shows His wonderful and glorious pleasure activities of His devotees. To taste the Lord's pastimes wonderful patented its will: "I will fight. I enjoy raudra-rasa, the mellow of anger. "
If the opponent is not equally powerful, then there would be like in the fight. The Lord wants to enjoy rasa raudra by the act of fighting, so great desire for His devotees descend here as Raksasas, demons, and act as enemies of the Lord and fight against Him
Hiranyaksha subsequent embodiments and Hiranyakasipu were Ravan and Kumbhakarna. They were brothers Jaya and Vijaya. Fell here and acted like demons for three lives. They fought against the Lord and, by doing so, the Lord led pleasure of enjoying the mellow raudra-rasa. Simultaneously, the devotees also enjoyed: it is reciprocal. Nobody is an enemy of the Lord, but when you want to enjoy hobbies, He descends to this material world and acts as a human being. Thus, to the delight of His devotees, the Lord spreads His nectarine lilacs. His devotees always want see emerge victorious. Therefore, to indulge himself and to please them, the Lord sometimes agrees to act as a human being and wonderful hobbies run, extraordinary. Otherwise, the Lord has nothing to do here, there is no need for Him to come down here. Eternally free
The Lord is affectionate to His devotees, bhakta-vatsala-bhagavan . This is very important. Who can submit to the Lord? He is superior in every way, He is asomordhva-tattva : no one is equal or superior to the Lord. How can anyone submit to the Lord? In the Hari-bhakti- sudhodaya (14.29) the Lord says:
Mukto sada 'pi baddha' smi bhaktena sneha rajjubhih
ajito 'pi jito' ham tari avas' pi vasi krtah
Although I am eternally free and independent, I am bound with rope love of My devotees.
The Lord is eternally free, unfettered and independent. How is it that can be captured in any way? But Mukto sada 'pi baddha' smi bhaktena rajubhih sneha: "Sometimes stayed tied with the rope of love My devotee." This is bhakta-vatsala . Ajit 'pi jito' yam avasyo tair 'pi vasi krtam : the Lord is unconquerable, ajita . But as bhakta-vatsala sometimes Conquers His devotee. Therefore, CONQUÍSTALO! It all depends on prema-rasa, mellow love. Bhagavan Krishna bhakta-bhava adopted , the mood of a devotee. He came as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and gave love of God. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is premature purusottama , the supreme person that gives krsna-prema. He gives prema free and everyone indiscriminately. With the same prema He is tied. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu gives prema , and with the same prema the premi-bhakta ata Lord Hari in his heart. Therefore that premi-bhakta always see the Lord Hari, Krishna, in his heart, inside and out. That premi-bhakta even for a moment forget Krishna, or even for a moment longer to see Krishna.
Krishna says in Bhagavad-gita (6.30): I
pasyati sarvatra sarvam mam ca mayi pasyati
tasyaham pranasyami sa ca me na na pranasyati
He who sees Me everywhere and he sees everything in Me, I'm never lost, nor he is lost to me.
This is full Krishna consciousness. "He who sees me everywhere and sees everything in Me, I do not let him see and he did not stop me. " That premi-bhakta has developed prema, Krishna sees everywhere. He sees inside Krishna, in his heart, and so is outside. Kaviraj Goswami has written (Cc Madhya 25-127):
bhakta-preme bandiyache hrdaya bhitare
yaha netra pade taha dekhaye amare
Love, a devotee can tie extremely high to me, the Supreme Personality of God in his heart. Wherever you look, he just sees me and nothing else.
Krishna is supremely independent "He's the svarat purusa supreme, yet he is tied with the love of His devotee. He depends on His devotee. In the Ninth Canto of Bhagavatam (4.63), while speaking to Durvasa Muni, the Lord said
aham bhakta-paradhino asvatantra h iva dvija
Gråsten-Hrdaya sadhubir bhaktir bhakta-jana-priyah
I depend entirely on My devotees. In truth, I have no independence. As My devotees are free from all material desires, I sat in the depths of their hearts. But what I can say to My devotees, if even the devotees of My devotee are very dear to me?
Gråsten-Hrdaya Sadhubir bhaktir : that sadhu-bhakta has held my heart. Krishna is rasika-Sekara , the supreme enjoyer of rasa , the sweetness of His love premi-bhakta. Krishna is tied with the rope of love. That is their nature. Krishna is very greedy to taste the sweetness of love. Because of His bhakta-vatsalya , Krishna is bound simultaneously in the heart of each and every one of His premi-bhakta. This prema the activity or game hladini-sakti, the pleasure potency of Lord Krishna and so is bound. This is the dharma , the nature of prema . It is very wonderful and very excellent.
defeated by love
In the Caitanya-caritamrta ( Antya 18.18) is described as follows:
krsnera prema lackey, lackey bhaktere
nacaye apan, eka-born-tine Thani
ecstatic love for Krishna Krishna makes both devotees dance. And personally ecstatic love dance. In this way all three dance together in the same place.
himself prema dance. Simultaneously makes the Krishna devotee and dance dance. The heart of the prema-bhakta is Vrindavan, where Krishna always dwells happily. He never leaves Vrindavan. The Lord is always anxious to bring happiness to His devotees, His premi-bhakta. Krishna even snatched morsels of food to the cowherd. As bhakta-vatsala , Krishna is subject to the premi-bhakta . Both bhakta and Bhagavan dance together because of love, and Krishna is tied with rope that love. Although Krishna is all powerful, omnipotent, can not break that bond. Krishna says Paraye na: "I can not give back the love of My pure devotees. It is beyond my capacity. " This is bhakta-vatsalya .
In Caitanya-Bhagavata ( Madhya 9212-214) the akiñcana-bhakta Kolavecha Sridhar offers these sentences:
Bhaktiyoga Bhishma take 'jinila Samare
Bhaktiyoga yasodaya bandhila taketh
Bhaktiyoga taketh becila satyabhama
tumi bhaktibase Kandha Kaile goparama
Brahmananda-koti mantles Marie Bahe yare
is Sridama-gopa tumi bahila apan
By the power of devotional service Bhishma defeated you in the battlefield. By the power of devotional service Yadosa I tied. By the power of service Satyabhama devotional won your heart. After being defeated by devotional service charges on your shoulders to the cowherd. While unlimited millions of universes are manifested from your thoughts, your staff charges to gopa Sridama. Imbued
pure bhakti-yoga, Krishna Bhishma defeated at the battle of Kurukshetra. Although Krishna is unconquerable, a prize-bhakti as Bhishma defeats him. Krishna acknowledges defeat. He derives pleasure when His bhakta defeats him. Bhaktiyoga yasodaya bandhila taketh : mother Yasoda Krishna tied pure bhakti. Who can bind the Supreme Lord Krishna? No one can tie. But to taste the sweetness of maternal affection, the rasa vatsalya of Yasoda, Krishna manifest pastimes that gives pleasure to His devotees and He derives pleasure in such pastimes.
The thief supreme
In Their children's games, when he was two or three years, Krishna used to go to the houses of gopis to steal Makhan, Butter. Krishna is the ultimate thief. The gopis were happy to feed Gopal with butter, but used to go to Yasoda to file complaints, "Yasoda, your son Gopal comes to our houses and steal all our Makhan . " Just noticed how wonderful this is! The gopis were enchanted with feed Makhan Gopal, however, after resorting to Yasoda, they had complaints against him were put
Yasoda angry. She rebuked: Gopal! Have you been eating Makhan ? "
With broken words, the toddler said or meya I Makhan khaya Nehi" Mother, I have not eaten Makhan.
Then Yasoda was put even more angry: "Yes, there are remains of Makhan in Your Mouth! Are you telling lies? Makhan is there in your mouth. Why are you telling lies?
Gopal said: "Mother, they smeared Makhan in my mouth."
Gopal Do you think that telling a lie? No, Gopal never tells lies. Gopal tells the truth, but the trick is in how he articulates the words. "or the Silent, mene hi Makhan khaya" . Gopal spoke so that his words have two meanings: one positive and one negative. Gopal is a guy very, very crafty. He knows how to speak with double meanings. Gopal did not commit a penalty. He is Vishsvambhara, which keeps the whole universe which caters to all living entities in the universe. He is not attached to anything. He is the sole owner of everything. Idam Isvasyam sarvam : everything belongs to isa , the Supreme Lord. Absolutely everything is His property. So why Gopal went to another house to rob?: Because it was a pleasant lilac for His dear devotees. Stems Gopal devotees derive pleasure and enjoyment. It is so wonderful! When Gopal went to the house of a gopi , she, like so much of him, fed him, 'Take this Makhan . " So it is not surprising that he had smeared butter around the mouth. Face Gopal blackish with traces of white Makhan, it looked very nice. When the gopis saw this wonderful beauty-a blackish face with white Makhan, filled with joy. Whenever I had the opportunity, Gopal stole. As a child of two or three years old, His nature was typically fickle. Gopal acted with a little malice. After his mother scolded and scolded, for several days he was not going to the homes of the gopis. But when they attend their homes, gopis did not have the darshan of Gopal and got very bereaved: "Oh, why not come Gopal! Why not come? "Then the gopis went to the house of Yasoda and asked," Why Gopal is not going to our homes? Has anything happened? Has anything happened? "
Feeding the monkeys
Mother Yasoda said to Gopal," Your intelligence, your games and your activities are similar to that of monkeys. And you are always with lots of monkeys. Gopal, is not afraid to be surrounded by so many monkeys?
Gopal answered: "Mother, these monkeys helped Lord Rama. Rama was about to conquer Lanka and killed Ravana. The monkeys had to endure severe trials, many, many suffering. Lord Rama was wandering in the forest. Rama did not have good food to give to the monkeys. Rama had nothing. Sometimes the monkeys did not eat anything at all. A few days jumping from a tree branch to another to cut a fruit, but on other days not getting anything, and therefore, had to fast. Look, mother, and now the monkeys are extending their hands and begging Makhan ! "We Makhan ! We Makhan ! Eat it with much satisfaction. " This is a wonderfully sweet lilac. The Supreme Lord makes His devotees plunge into the ocean of happiness, joy and pleasure.
Yasoda-mata, due to its vatsalya-rasa, maternal love, had no idea that Krishna is Bhagavan. She only thought how to make everything auspicious for your child, how to make him happy. By the activity of yoga-maya , Yasoda-mata thought: "My son, my son!" She was just this kind of thinking. The Bhagavatam (8/10/1945) describes:
trayya sankhya copanisadbhis ca-ca yogais satvataih
upagiyamana Mahatmyam haris samanyatatmajam
The glories of the Supreme Personality of Godhead are studied along three Vedas, the Upanishads, the Sankhya-yoga literature and other works vasinavas . But mother Yasoda felt that that Supreme Person, His son was an ordinary child. " Those who are
Sankhya-yogis engages in analytical discussions about the Supreme Lord. Those who are devotees offer prayers to the Supreme Lord Krishna. But Mother Yasoda simply repeated: "Krishna is my son! Krishna is my son! "Samanya-tatmajam . This is vatsalya pure rasa. Complaints
As we grew, the malice of Gopal also increased. Yasoda received daily Complaints: "Your son Gopal steals, steals and steals." Yasoda was very angry. She thought very carefully: "Why does my child is stealing? We have enough Makhan in our house, so why Gopal is entering other houses to steal? There is no shortage at home. We have to spare. " Yasoda thought then: "Oh, what happens is that I have been assigned to the task of beating maids yogurt to make it Makhan. I have not prepared with my own hands. Gopal therefore does not like going to other houses to rob. But from now on I will prepare with my own hands. " The next day Yasoda-mata he rose early and began preparing for Gopal Makhan. As he did sing the glories of Gopal. As his hands beat the yogurt, the bracelets of her hands collided and produced a tinkling sound, " tracyum, tracyum, tracyum ." Meanwhile, Gopal remained asleep. After waking up and noticing that her mother was not with him, he began to mourn: " Ma!, Ma!, Ma, ma!, Ma! "
Yasoda replied," I'm here, Gopal. I'm preparing yogurt and beat Makhan for You. " Gopal went to the place where he was Yasoda, settled in her lap and began to suck her breast milk. Just then Yasoda could see a pot filled with milk that had begun to boil on the stove. Milk reached boiling point. The milk foam rose and began to run down the edge of the pot. Noting that Yasoda immediately stood up, placed Gopal on the ground, and ran to remove the pot from the stove. As Gopal was sucking the breast of his mother and still was not satisfied, he got angry. So I take a stone and threw it against the bowl of yogurt. The clay pot broke into pieces and scattered throughout the yogurt on the floor. Gopal was angry and cried nonstop. Moments later went to another house and started stealing Makhan. After climbing to a mortar for grinding, Gopal began to steal butter in a pot that was hanging from a beam. Footprints
With your body, mind and speech, day and night, twenty-four hours a day, mother Yasoda was dedicated to the loving service of Krishna. While going to beat the yogurt, with his mouth singing the glories of Krishna and the mind just thinking of Krishna. This is the ceiling vatsalya-rasa. She is the mother of the universe: Nikhil- Visva-mata-svarupa . Mother Yasoda, whose son is Lord Krishna, has this vatsalya-rasa, motherly love. In order to keep the pot boiling milk, she put the child Krishna in the soil. Is it a cruel act on his part? No, no. Krishna is Sevya . Yasoda is Sevaka . Mother Yasoda is the maid. Krishna, who is to be served. Bhakta and Bhagavan . These premi-bhakta engaged day and night, twenty-four hours a day, the loving service of Krishna in various ways. They only want to serve and give pleasure to Krishna: krsnarthe akhila-basket. Yasoda's heart is totally filled with putra-sneha , a loving attitude toward his son. She is always thinking about how to procure happiness, pleasure and everything auspicious Krishna, Gopal. How can there be cruelty on his part? It is not cruelty. Sometimes such incidents occur, but it is for Krishna's service. Yasoda act with a loving attitude so exemplary, that no cruelty at all.
This hobby is lilananda , the Lord is enjoying the sweetness of His sweet lilac , and also the experience bhaktas Premananda , deriving pleasure to provide this loving service to Krishna. Two types of ananda -the lilananda the Lord and the Premananda bhakta - combine to create apurva Paramananda a ananda supreme, unprecedented. Both the Lord and the devotee, and bhagavan bhakta, dive, to "drown" in the ocean of ananda . Nobody can describe it, since it is indescribable. Raso vai sah : Krishna is the reservoir of all mellows, rasa. Krishna is rasika , he enjoys. Krishna is the enjoyer and also has to be enjoyed. Krishna gives His premi-bhakta the chance to taste that sweetness.
After removing the pot from the stove milk, mother Yasoda returned and saw the huge pot of yoghurt was shattered and scattered all over the yogurt was on the ground. Gopal was conspicuous by its absence. Gopal had gone to another house. On the ground Their footsteps were clearly visible. Following the trail of footsteps suddenly Yasoda saw Gopal: "Aha, Gopal is now standing on a mortar to grind Makhan stealing a pot hanging from a beam." In this house had many, many monkeys. The house was full of monkeys and they were all eating Makhan. And it was Gopal who was giving Makhan. The monkeys had their arms outstretched and ate. There was so much yogurt sprinkled across the floor it looked blank.
punishment
Mother Yasoda was very angry. After taking a stick, she quietly, very quietly entered the room where it was Gopal and stood right behind him Seeing that mother Yasoda was holding a stick, the monkeys immediately jumped and ran out the door. Gopal turned to see "Oh, Mother is here with a stick and seems to be very angry and very serious expression! The monkeys fled in a hurry and left over mortar Gopal. Gopal jumped up and tried to flee the room, but mother was very upset. This day she was not going to forgive. Mother
thought: "I have to tie it. Today I will not get away with it. " With this in mind and with a rope tie, mother Yasoda ran after Gopal. But Gopal said some aisvarya , opulence. He took the following decision: "I will not let mother apprehended. She will run after me and I will run ahead of her. But I will not grasp. " This is aisvarya . Gopal ran, but not right. He moved like a snake, running zigzag. Mother Yasoda has a few extra pounds, so even running after Gopal, could not arrest him. She got tired and began to pant heavily. Laurel flower garden, karabira , the garland adorning her braid had fallen to soil. Her hair was all disheveled and she looked very tired.
Finally, the mother's eyes looked straight red lotus feet of Gopal. These red lotus feet of the Lord are the object of meditation of devotees. Mother Yasoda thought, "Oh, so soft feet. If a bone is stuck in them, Gopal feel much pain. " After having this thought, she was sad. When the ability to see a devotee is concentrated in the reddish lotus feet of the Lord, He is captured. Gopal thought: "Now I go to grasp. As a mother is very tired, I allow I catch. " So mother Yasoda Gopal finally apprehended.
Mother Yasoda was very angry that day. Gopal had acted in a way that made her very anxious to put it: "Every day I have many complaints of theft, and today Gopal also broke the huge earthen pot containing yogurt. Then he gave Makhan monkeys, and also made me tired. This little baby has disappointed me in many ways. " Mother Yasoda was very angry. In his right hand grasped a stick and carried his left hand pinned to Gopal. A mother then tied to a wooden mortar for grinding.
Mother Yasoda's rod
Damodarastaka In their prayers (verse 1), Satyavrata Muni has written about this lilac and described this form of Damodar:
namamisvaram sac-cid-ananda-rupam
Lasat-kundalam Gokul bhrajamanam
Yasoda-bhiyolukhalad dhavamanam
paramrstam atyantato drutya gopya
The Supreme Lord, whose figure is the embodiment of eternal existence, knowledge and bliss, Whose shark-shaped earrings swaying from side to side, Who shines beautifully in the divine realm of Gokula, who (due to the offense of breaking the pot of yogurt that His mother was churning to make butter, and then steal butter hanging from a beam) jumped the wooden mortar and began to run quickly for fear of mother Yasoda, but was apprehended by it running faster, and in that Supreme Lord, Sri Damodar, I offer my humble obeisances .
hobby so beautiful What happens in Gokul! Makhan Gopal stolen. Mother Yasoda is trying to catch him. Gopal begins to run fast in a zigzag. Mother Yasoda ran after him, drutya gopya , and finally caught him. Ah, how, what a picture! A bhakta which is rasa-rasa vatsalya may think, "Oh, I want see this. " Gopal running and mother Yasoda ran after him and finally she catches him.
Seeing mother so angry, Gopal began to mourn. Gopal tendrils swayed because breathing heavily. His chest swelled and shrank, and with His two hands are rubbing his eyes. Mother had smeared black ointment in the corners of the eyes of Gopal, and this ointment had spread across his face blackened and red palms of His hands. What a wonderful way! Muni has written Satyavrata ( Damodarastaka , verse 2):
rudantam netra-yugmam Muhura mrjantam
karambhoja-yugmena satanka-netram
muhuh svasa-kampa-trirekhanka-kantha-
sthita-bhakti-baddham Damodaram graivam
(when her mother was holding a stick to beat him) He is crying and rubbing his eyes again and again with His two lotus hands. His eyes are an expression of great fear, and the pearl necklace that hangs from his neck, which is marked with three lines as a shell, is shaken due to the shortness of breath that makes you cry. To this Supreme Lord, Sri Damodar, Whose waist is tied with ropes but with His mother's pure love, I offer my humble obeisances. Gopal
crying. With His two lotus palms is rubbing his eyes. Satanka-netram : His eyes are an expression of fear. Muhuh svasa-kampa : He is breathing with difficulty. Trirekha : His neck has three lines. His chest swells and shrinks. This is his way, a wonderful way!
This is vatsalya-rasa. Standing with stick in hand, mother Yasoda was angry. As she wept, Gopal said, "Mother, why is wielding the stick? Throw it! "Mother Yasoda laughed and said," Yes. Now there is no need for this staff. I've attached. " Mother Yasoda then threw the stick. Bhajanam-bhayankara : The Supreme Lord, who instills fear to all the demons began to mourn fearful after seeing the stick that his mother was holding. At the moment the rod bounced mother Yasoda, Gopal looked at his friends and together with him laughed. Then mother Yasoda said, "Oh, Gopal, you're scared. You're crying. " Gopal again looked at his friends and laughed again. Then, looking back to mother Yasoda, Gopal began to mourn. Gopal suppressed his laughter because if his mother could see the purple would be lost.
While all this was happening, several cowboys and cowgirls, and a group of cowherd, arrived. After noting the pitiful condition of mother Yasoda, she looked so very tired, "young girls looked at each other and smiled. The older women said, "Oh, Yasoda, why are you so angry? Gopal is only a child. Release. Release. Not bind. "
Our Friend!
-Gopal's friends Sridama, Madhumangal, Subal and others were standing at a distance. They could not come because mother was very angry. They felt great sorrow in their hearts: "Oh, our friend is captive! How can we free? "This is sakhya rasa. Darling their friend was being held captive. Mother had tied to a wooden mortar for grinding. They dared not come because she was very angry, but planning how to free his friend. From a distance Gopal looked at his friends. They made a signal and then whispered: "Kanu, Kanu, crouch and crawl, crouch and crawl." This is sakhya rasa. They experienced a great pity for his friend: "How free our friend?" Mellow What a wonderful, wonderful! The Supreme Lord, who cut into pieces the material bondage of the world, is now captive! Gopal's friends, feeling pain in their hearts, they thought: "How to liberate our Kanu? He is our friend, bandhu-jana. " They had no notion that Gopal was Bhagavan. What rasa so pure, so pure why mellow! As I looked at his friends, Gopal laughed, but when I looked at mother, crying. Gopal
crouched and crawled to the backyard. While crawling and passed through two trees arjun, mortar wooden cross stuck between them. Then the two trees were uprooted arjun and knocked down. After hearing the noise, everyone came running to the patio. Mother Yasoda and Nanda Maharaja, as many cowboys and gopis came in a hurry. Attended all wondering: "What happened! What happened! "The cowherd said," We are eyewitnesses. Mother Yasoda tied Gopal. He tied to a wooden mortar for grinding. Kanu began to crawl and then these two trees were uprooted. " Then let go of Nanda Maharaja Krishna. Krishna's friends were very pleased that Krishna be released.
When these two trees fell down arjun doing a lot of noise, all arrived. Mother Yasoda said, "What happened to my Gopal? What happened? Two trees have fallen. What happened? What happened? "Then mother Yasoda began to mourn profusely:" Where is my Gopal? Where is my Gopal? Nanda Maharaja came to the place where it was Gopal and untied him. Mother Yasoda and settled immediately raised her son in her lap, and then entered the bedroom. Gopal then began to suck the breast of his mother. This is madhurya-lila, a sweet and lovely lilac: lilac vatsalya . There is some wealth in this lilac, but remained hidden.
Gopal said: "What happened to you, mother? Why are you crying? " In the eyes of mother Yasoda ran tears, tears of love. Mother Yasoda was thinking, "Oh, why Gopal tied? Why Gopal tied? She grieved and tears welled in her eyes. Gopal said: "Mother, what happened? Early in the morning I did mourn. I was sucking your breast, but then I put in the ground. Then you went and left me crying. Now I made you mourn. Now you're crying. " Mother Yasoda was crying and Gopal was laughing. Gopal lay in the lap of mother Yasoda and sucking the breast of it to his satisfaction. With his tiny hand touched the face of mother Yasoda. There were tears in his eyes of the mother. By way of consolation, blessing the Lord gave to His devout caressing her face. Mother Yasoda was thinking: "I am a shameless. Tied to Gopal. Why I tied my Gopal? "While thinking in this way, tears of love flowed from her eyes, premasru . What a beautiful purple, bhakti-rasa ! This is suddha-bhava, rasa vatsalya pure. Vrajeswari, mother Yasoda, tied to Gopal. Who else can?
is natural that children have the tendency to steal, so during their childhood days Makhan Krishna stole . When Krishna grew during His pauganda-lila, between six and ten years old, he stole the costumes of the damsels of Vraja. Krishna is the ultimate thief, caura-graganya . He may rob you, but only if you are worthy of being stolen. If you prepare, if you develop prema-bhakti pure, then Krishna will steal your heart. So during his childhood Krishna Makhan stole the homes of the gopis. In his years pauganda Krishna stole the clothes of the maidens of Vrajabhumi. And he grew a little more during his kaisora-kala in muchachez of eleven to fifteen, Krishna stole the hearts of the gopis. As isvara , the Supreme Lord Krishna also stole the potato-top , sins and sorrows of bhaktas . Krishna is a terrible thief: the thief supreme. The Caitanya-caritamrta ( Antya 7.30) describes:
suddha-kare sakha bhave skandha arohana
suddha-bhave vrajesvari karena bandhana
With pure Krishna consciousness, Krishna has to shoulder a friend and mother Yasoda tied to the Lord. Imbued
sakhya pure rasa, Krishna carried Sridama shoulders. They play and sometimes lost and Sridama Krishna wins. Then Krishna takes Sridama shoulder and runs back and forth. Kaviraj Goswami explained in Caitanya-caritamrta (madhya 9214):
je-ve-dravya sevakera sarvabhave khaya
naivedhyadi glass or Apeks nahi caya
tell alpa dravya bale na khaya Dase
brhmanera tare khuda Saksi dvarakaya
With great love the Lord eats away eats anything that His servant has to offer. He has no desire to wait until all offering rituals are carried out. If the devotee has very little food and for that reason does not offer the Lord eats them by force. Broken rice the brahmana Sudama took Dwarka is proof of this truth.
This is pure love. For patenting the affection for His devotees, Krishna sometimes snatches a morsel of food from the mouth of His devotee, such as in trade with His cowherd boyfriends. Krishna does so driven by love. When a pure devotee offers something, Krishna accepts it immediately. No need to ring a bell or chant mantras . Requires only pure love. All these vidhis , scriptural rules are not necessary. When devotees make offerings to love, no need for rituals. Krishna takes away the offerings even if the devotees are not taxed. Is Sudama example vipra the poor brahmana went to Dwarka to see Krishna. Sudama was very poor and had nothing at home. He wanted to bring a gift to Krishna, but could not find any. Finally his wife brought a neighbor's house a handful of crushed rice that up off a bad smell. Sudama wrapped him in his shabby clothes and took him. When arrived in Dwarka, where is king Krishna, Sudama looked at a lot of wealth. After seeing this opulence, he felt ashamed. Sudama thought: "What I brought a present? My friend Krishna is surrounded by luxury. The crushed rice is very negligible and , how I can offer it? Sudama then decided to hide in the cavity under the shoulder. Krishna, however, knows everything. In the Tenth Canto of Bhagavatam (8.13) Krishna asked Sudama: kim
upayanam anitam
brahman bravado me grhat
anv apy upahrtam bhaktaih
Premna bhury bhavet me eva apy bhury
abhaktopahrtam
na me tosay kalpate
Krishna said: "Oh, my friend, oh, brahmana Sudama, have you brought something for me? Why are you refuse to give me? Even if very small, is very valuable to me because it is steeped in mellow affair. I just accept that loving mellow, nothing more. From abhakta , the person who is not My devotee, even if I offered many gifts whose size is equated to the mountain Himalaya, I would never accept them. I only accept the mellow affair. Even if My devotee offers me a very insignificant thing, but the offer with love and devotion, then it is very valuable to me. So tell me, what did you bring me? Why do not you give me? "
Embarrassed, Sudama had hidden the rice into the cavity under his arm. There no sweat. Rice is a very old and broken ground and is now soaked in sweat. If you try it, say: "Oh, uuff, uuff! Smelly "Sudama did not want to give rice to Krishna, but Krishna snatched it and tried a bite:" Oh, what a tasty, very sweet. " After trying it, we we had said: "Oh, uuff, uuff!" But Krishna said: "Oh, what a tasty, very sweet." Krishna tried a bite, but he was about to take another, the Bhagavata Maha-purana (10.81.10) reports that Rukmini-devi, who is Lakshmi, the goddess of fortune, stayed the hand of Krishna and said, "Enough. Enough. " Iti
mustim sakrj jagdhva dvitiyam jagdhum hadad
tavaco chrir jagrhe hastam tat-for paramesthinah
After saying these words, the Supreme Lord ate a mouthful, but he was about to eat the second bite, Rukmini stopped His hand.
When Krishna was about to take a second bite, Rukmini-devi stopped his hand and said, "Enough. [Because the first bite] Now I have to go and serve. If you eat that second bite, do you going to deliver him? Basta! "
This is pure loving mellow: alpa dravya Dase khaya bale na tell. Sudama felt ashamed and thought: "How I can offer a little thing? Krishna has a lot of affluence. " But Krishna snatched the rice because it was offered with love.
The remnants of the Pandavas
Srila Vrindavan Das Thakur
described in the Caitanya-Bhagavata (madhya 23,463)
avasese sevakere atmasat kare tara
Saksi Vanavara saka
Yudhisthira The Lord also ate the remnants of the plate of His servant. The legume Yudhisthir served while living in the forest is proof of this truth. Once
Yudishthir Maharaja, his brothers and wife Draupadi were living in the forest. One day, at dusk, Duryodhan Durvasa Muni sent to visit the Pandavas. "As in the forest there is no food to serve, Durvasa be filled with anger, cursed and then the Pandavas will be reduced to ashes." With that thought evil Duryodhan sent Durvasa Muni. But krsna raksayati : Krishna protects His devotees. The Pandavas are very dear to Krishna devotees. Who can hurt them? So Krishna also arrived. But Draupadi had a problem: he had no food. So how would you feed your guests? Durvasa came with a thousand disciples. Draupadi thought: "Who can save me from this danger?" She concluded that only could save Krishna. Then he said: "Krishna!" And Krishna came running from far away shouted: "Draupadi! Draupadi! Draupadi! I have hungry! I have hungry! Give me food! "Draupadi replied," Please listen .... " But Krishna interrupted: "No, first serve me food. Then listen. " Draupadi replied, "That's exactly my problem: I have no food." Krishna said: "No way. There must be some food. Check the pots. Has to be something there. "
Draupadi that day had cooked a dish of sak, spinach. A small blade was still there, stuck on the edge of the pan. Even after washing the pot, the sheet had not taken off. Krishna said: "Oh, yes, here is a small leaf." Krishna off the road and ate. "Oh, I was serving too much food! My stomach is full now. " This is love and nothing else.
Premi-bhakta
a premi-bhakta that level, which has attached to Krishna in his heart with the rope of love, definitely Krishna has made it his: Krishna belongs. Only he can give to Krishna. The Caitanya-bhagavta (madhya 23464-465) describes:
Sevaka krsnera pita, kill, skate,
bhai 'dasa nahi ara bai krsnera dvitiya
The premi-bhakta is father, mother, wife and brother of Lord Krishna. The Lord Krishna to His pure devotee considers different at all from his own being.
Cintya je rupa rupa DASE-i will have
DASE krsne karibare Paraye Vikraya
Krishna appears in the form which His devotee wanted to view. Krishna gives His devotees the power to sell to others.
Saranagati In (Bhajan-lalasa , track 7) Bhaktivinode Thakur has described
be taken krsna, krsna dite stop
Sakati take
ache ami to Kangala 'krsna' 'krsna' boli
tava pache pache Dhai
O venerable Vaisnava , Krishna is yours. You have the power to give me. I just run behind you shouting, "Krishna! Krishna! "
Who can give Krishna? Only one who has to Krishna. Otherwise, who can give what is not? Can you give it? No. diksa krsne karibare : only premi-bhakti can give Krishna. No one else. The four Vedas sing that Krishna, the Supreme Lord, is Sevaka-vatsala , very dear to His servants. Krishna bhakta-vatsala is , He manifests in person before such premi-bhakta . Krisha is always with them. The Caitanya-Bhagavata (madhya 23,466) says:
Sevaka vatsala prabhu curry vede gaya
sevakera sthana krsna Prakas Sadaya
"The Supreme Personality God loves His servants. " The Vedas sing. The Lord Krishna appeared before His devotees.
These are extraordinary loving pastimes. They are wonderful, very great and inconceivable. Both Bhagavan as the pleasure derived bhakta. Krishna is priti-Visayan, the object of love, while the premi-bhakta is priti-Asraya , the hold of love. Bhagavan, as the object of Asraya can not understand the joy, the pleasure experienced by the devotee. The joy and happiness that is experienced bhakta-Jatiya Asraya , is at the level of Asraya . Krishna can not understand because they are Asraya plane . For his part, Krishna is at the level of Visayan . This is the specific terms.
Srila Krishna Das Kaviraj Goswami gives the following description in his Caitanya-caritamrta ( Antya 18.16-17):
yata prema bhakta dasa, e gati prakara
duhkha yata, yatha sukha, yateka vikara
krsna na taha smyak Janita stop
bhakta-bhava angikare taha asvadite
Krishna can not fully understand the conditions, the subjective scale of progress, happiness and unhappiness, and moods of ecstatic love of His devotees. He therefore assumes the role of a devotee to fully enjoy these emotions.
In the Caitanya-caritamrta Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami writes this way. What is the status of a premi-bhakta ? What makes you happy? What causes unhappiness? What is your mood? Krishna can not understand. In order to understand these emotions, Krishna takes the role of a bhakta and down here to enjoy them. So Krishna, assuming the role of a bhakta comes as Gouranga Mahaprabhu, bhakta-rupa , to taste this bhakti-rasa, Asraya-Jatiya rasa, the mellow Asraya plane. This one exceptionally wonderful lilac!
