Hare krishna devotees, all glories to Srila Prabhupada
Devotees I feel attraction towards Lord Vishnu, I do lord vishnu chants, I wanted to ask is there any sakhya rasa which is same like that of Lord krishna and cowherds that soul can enjoy with lord narayan in vaikuntha ?? I desire that relationship with lord Vishnu in Vaikuntha but I have only heard of Sakhya rasa between Lord krishna and cowherds boys, I want that same relationship with Lord Vishnu? If yes can you give examples of some saints who worshipped Lord Vishnu like a friend.

Hare KRsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
In Vaikuntha planets, we can get the 5 types of mukti - liberation - saarupya, saalokya, saamipya, saayujya and saarsti - same form as lord, same planet as lord, staying close to lord, merging into the brahman effulgence of the lord and having same opulences as the lord, respectively.
5 types of relationships with the lord (primary rasas) are:
Santa, Dasya, Sakhya, Vatsalya and Madhurya - passive, servant, friend, parental and conjugal, respectivey.
It's your choice, which bhaav you want to develop.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Radha Rasamayi DD
