(Prayers to Sri Radha)
1. O queen, please rescue this unfortunate person, drowning in an ocean of pain. Place him on the strong
boat of your mercy and carry him to the wonderful realm of Your lotus feet.
2. O queen, with the medicine of the red lac from Your lotus feet, please bring back to life this person now dead from the bites of the black snake of not seeing You.
3. O queen, with the nectar of a moment's glance please restore the life of this gopi maidservant of Your lotus feet, who now burns in the great forest fire of separation from You.
4. O beautiful faced one, when, even in a dream, will I, by decorating my head with the splendid perfumed powder of Your lotus feet, attain the goal of my life?
5. O beautiful one, when will the sound of your anklebells, sprinkling drops from an ocean of nectar, cure my deafness?
6. O queen, with the two bumblebees of the corners of Your eyes, which in the moonlit rendezvous anxiously wander over each direction as if the forest were a jungle of blue lotuses, will You glance upon this person?
7. O queen whose eyes are as beautiful as two blossoming lotus flowers, when Your lake, filled with sweet water and splendid with many blossoming lotus flowers and buzzing bees, appeared before my eyes I at once began to yearn for the nectar of direct service to You.
8. O queen, I shall never ask You for anything other than direct service to your lotus feet. I offer my respectful obeisances to Your friendship. I offer my respectful obeisances to Your friendship again and again. May I find Your service as sweet as nectar. May I find Your service as sweet as nectar.
9. When, at Your house early in the morning, will I carefully wash Your two lotus feet with camphor-scented water and then dry them with my hair?
10. When will this maidservant brush Your teeth with a twig, wash Your lotus feet, and, when You have entered another room, massage You with scented oil?
Comments
Thanks for explaining the matter so clearly. I will not publish it further.
Take care.
Srila Bhaktisiddanta Saraswati thakura instructed his direct disciples not to read these three literatures...or become familiar with!The other texts were the ''Gita-GOVINDA'' and the ''Govinda-lilamrita''.Since he was aware of the subtle tendency's to veiw mundane sex-life in a perverted manner....even within his own followers,he instructed all his followers to steer clear of such literatures!
Srila Bhaktisiddanta saraswati takura Prabhupada was so strict that Jotisekhara prabhu his disciple recalled that in the time of SP in the
Gaudiya Math they had never seen the Rasagrantha. That means that the
books dealing with the intimate rasa pastimes of Radha and Krsna, such as
GitaGovinda, Govinda lila-amrta, etc. His rule was not to read rasa
grantha. Even in the Chaitanyacharitamrta there are some sections which
describe the feelings of rasa that Radharani is expressing for Krsna. Srila Bhaktisiddanta saraswati takura Prabhupada said
to his disciples, "Don't read this section. It's not for you. You are not at this
stage!" Only one or two disciples who had been given Manjari svarup were
allowed to read it, but not publicly, only privately to themselves.
Firstly let me offer my humble obeisances to the servants of Sridhar swami,following in the line of Srila Bhaktisiddanta saraswati takura our param guru.May his divine grace Srila Prabhupada,the founder Archarya of iskcon bless my words and thoughts!May my prabhu please allow his intelligence to resonate through his servant to fully reveal his clear appreciation and the true siddanta of the previous Archaryas!
My siksa guru ,gour govinda maharaja commented that his Iskcon guru godbrothers in the GBC were at least authorised,while Narayanna maharaja was a jnani...though possessing sometimes higher understandings was disqualified due to his desire to accept siddhanta or spiritual realisation from outside ''our Archaryas' and their descending line'.He was not loyal to their mood and spiritual conclusions ,of his own guru and other senior gaudiya Archaryas,which in this case includes Srila Sridhar swami,the godbrother of our Srila Prabhupada.Who represented the Sri chaitanya saraswati matha!
He[Srila Shridhar swami] was openly attacked ''personally by Narayanna maharaja in his last days'',because he refused to accept Narayanna maharajas ''foreign devotional conclusions'',concerning the authorised mood towards krishna and his spiritual pastimes with his intimate servants the cow herd girls of vrindavana.Though he is inferior,Narayanna maharaja failed to submit.Thus braking the natural devotional etiquette,which naturally exists due to Sridhar swamis realisation and his position as one of the foremost servants of Srila Bhaktisiddanta saraswati takura!.
Such offensive behaviour is symptomatic of his mood which is alien to our line,by thinking he personally knows better than even Srila Bhaktisiddanta saraswati he is simply disqualified!
Because of his policy to allow neophytes and his general devotees to openly disobey his[Srila Bhaktisiddanta saraswati takura] personal instructions,that his descendents not read such devotional literatures as gita govinda, ujjvala nilamani,govinda lilamrita,stava mala and vilapa kusumanjali.
Narayanna maharaja displays his personal disqualification,Why is this so important one may ask?Because this is an essential devotional element, to accept the devotional legacy while not attempting to change or corrupt its content and devotional essence !Yet Narayanna maharaja has openly displayed this'' sahaja tendency'' previously.......by attempting to jump to higher realisations prematurely!Such an unfortunate illustration occured by him when he introduced alien teachings from outside the line of Srila Bhaktisiddanta saraswati takura! Such clear appreciations were supported by these statements .... Yesterday i was Former prominent follower of Narayana Maharaja:
"The Vilap Kusumanjali lectures Narayana Maharaja gave during 1991-1993 were more or less based on the commentaries of Sri Ananda Gopal Gosvami and Sri Ananta Dasa Babaji. Particularly some of the asta-kaliya-lilas related by the former were of his own realization. In terms of the Gaudiya Math, the former would be classified as a caste Gosvamin and the latter as a sahajiya Babaji. Nevertheless Narayana Maharaja plagiarized their works and let people believe he expressed his own realizations. And moreover, now he boycotts the very same persons', Ananta das Baba's, works directly on his lectures. The translator and publisher of Ananta das Baba's works in English, Advaitadas, is a grand-disciple of Ananda Gopal Gosvamin. For all documents I have seen, Narayana Maharaja has not directly criticized Ananda Gopal Gosvamin, but he would certainly not be accepted by the orthodox followers of the Gaudiya Math.
So one must boldly ask,why is Narayanna maharaja assimulating and preaching from a ''caste Brahmana and sahaja babaji'' source?Historically these are the people whom it would be fair to say attempted to bribe the police to kill Srila Bhaktisiddanta saraswati takura!
"One of many examples: Vilapa Kusumanjali verse 31 -- Narayana Maharaja says on September 21, 1994:
"In the meantime the anklet of one foot came out and went away. Tulasi noticed that the sound of vamsi had also become less and Srimati Radhika stopped to dance and everything was upset. Tulasi ran towards the anklet, but in the meantime Krsna came and took it. He bound it on the feet of Srimati Radhika, and again the dancing and all things were done as before. Tulasi Manjari remembered this and began to tell to Radhika, "O You remember when Rasa was going on and this happened? Krsna took the anklet Himself and He tighten it on Your feet and again You began to dance."
Hence obviously my humble submission is that such attempts to jump to higher realisations merely by jumping like monkeys.....without the sufficient qualification is indeed symptomatic of Narayanna maharaja's deviation and tendency to seek shelter outside the pure teachings of AC Bhaktivedanta swami Prabhupada and Srila Sridhar swami !Whom i would suggest are indeed genuine and loyal to the mood of our shared Param guru.....Srila Bhaktisiddanta sraswati takura!......Otherwise where does Srila Bhaktisiddanta saraswati takura quote from sahaja guru's and caste brahmans?Obviously he does not!So why does narayanna maharaja deviate?Because simply he has deviated!....hare krishna!
