If Sripad Gadadhara Pandit is Radha, Who is Srimati Visnupriya?

Posted by David on July 31, 2012 at 11:51pm in Krishna

Please accept my Humble Obeisances and Dandavat Pranamas.

All Glories to Srila Prabhupada, Sri Gurudev, and Sripad Gauranga.

Hare Krishna

If Srila Gadadhara Pandit is Radharani Herself, who is Srimati Visnupriya? And who is Laksmipriya?

 They are literally Lord Caitanya's 2 wives, so who are they according to Gaura Lila?

Especially Visnupriya Mataji. She cannot just be Laksmidevi. She must be Radharani ? She felt the pangs of separation from Mahaprabhuji when he left to take sannyasi order?

Please let me know the knowledge to this. I care a lot about this question. 

Your servant of your servant, 

Bhakta David

    Hare Krsna dear devotees, pls accept my humble obeisances AGTSP! AGTSG!


    The associates of Their Lordships Sri Sri Gaura Nitai are the same spiritual identities in the eternal pastimes of Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha and Krishna.

    Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura describes the full glories of the associates of Their Lordships Sri Sri Gaur Nitai in his book Prarthana in the song "Savarana Sri Gaura Mahima" (The Glories of Sri Gauranga):
    gaurangera sangi-gane, nitya-siddha kari’ mane,
    se yaya vrajendra-suta pasa
    sri-gauda-mandala-bhumi, yeba jane cintamani
    tara haya vraja-bhume vasa
    One who accepts the associates of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu as nitya-siddhas is certain to be elevated to the spiritual kingdom to become an associate of the Supreme Lord. One should also know that Gauda-mandala-bhumi—those places in Bengal where Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu stayed—are equal to Vrajabhumi, or Vrndavana. There is no difference between the inhabitants of Vrndavana and those of Gauda-mandala-bhumi, or Sridhama Mayapur.
    It will help us develop strong faith in the perfect associates of Their Lordships Sri Sri Gaura Nitai if we understand their actual spiritual identities in the eternal pastimes of Sri Sri Radha Krishna. For this reason the greatest of all poets Sri Kavi Karnapura wrote the great classic book Gaura Gannodesha Dipika. This book illuminates to the world the divine spiritual identities of the associates of Their Lordships Sri Sri Gaur Nitai in the pastimes of  Sri Sri Radha Krishna.
                                                              
                                                                sri-sanatana-misro'yad pura satrajito napa
    vishnupriya jagan-mata yat-kanya bhu-svarupini
    He who was King Satrajit in Krishna lila was Sanatan Mishra in Chaitanya lila.
    The mother of the universe, the incarnation of the Lord's bhu-sakti,
    is his daughter Vishnupriya.
    (Gaura Ganodesa Dipika 47)
    Krishna married Satyabhama, the daughter of King Satrajit and a Yadu princess. In Gaura lila, this same Satrajit became Sanatan Mishra and she became Vishnupriya Devi. All manifestations of Vishnu tattva have three energies, known as Sri, Bhu and Nila (or Lila). Lakshmipriya Devi is the sri-sakti of Mahaprabhu in his majestic Gaura-Narayan attitude; Vishnupriya is his bhu-sakti and Nabadwip Dham is his lila-sakti. Srila Gadadhara Pandit Goswami is the sakti of Gaura-Krishna, or Mahaprabhu in the mood of Krishna.
    Therefore, who is Lakshmipriya in Gaura Lila is the same Rukmini (Krishna’s Principal queen in Dvaraka) + Sita (Rama’s consort) +Mahalakshmi (Vaikuntha) in Krishna Lila.
    Similarly, who is Vishnupriya in Gaura Lila is Satyabama or Bhu-Shakti (1 of the 3 Lakshmis) in Krsna lila.
     
    Hope this helps. Jai Gauranga!
     
    Your servant.
