Sadhu MaharajaHOST
This book.
Sadhu MaharajaHOST
And I never see Chaitanya Charitamrita.
Sadhu MaharajaHOST
What is my position? How I was going to understand before that this life? We have to so much research, research this life to find it out.
SunitiGUEST
Mm-hmm.
Sadhu MaharajaHOST
Like a new, who never read Vilapa Kusumanjali and who never read Chaitanya Charitamrita something, how they will understand this? So-
SunitiGUEST
And this verse one hundred four, it's a important note.
SunitiGUEST
This last verse of Vilapa, a hundred-
Vaisesika DasaHOST
It's in my bag, I can prove it.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
But as described by Kaviraj Goswami in the Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, just as Srimati Radharani expands from Krishna, just as Krishna, I should say rather, expands into multiple forms, departure, eva, hida, santanam, abhipeta, dipayate, vrvite, hetu, samana, dharma, yas tadra, geva, hicca, vishnu, chaya, vipati, Govindamadipudusham tamaham bhajami is described in the Sri Brahma Samhita that there's Krishna, but he expands himself into unlimited forms.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
And the metaphor is that there's an original candle, and that candle has the light that then is extended and lights other candles, and they're the same in quality.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
But there's an original candle of which Krishna is that original candle.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
My bhakti-bhutanam amritatvaya kalpate jishtayad asin matsneho bhavatinam madhapanah Here, our acaryas have explained how Krishna is making exclamation of appreciation for the mood of service of Srimati Radharani, saying that there is no better servitor in the context of the verse.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
And of course anyone who adopts this mood attains the perfection of life.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
And as explained by Kaviraj Goswami in the Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Srimati Radharani will take the service of those who are eager to serve Krishna and bring that service to Krishna.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
And as Prabhupada told us, that if we please Srimati Radharani, then by pleasing her, then Krishna becomes pleased with us.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
[gentle music] You notice in the Caitanya-caritāmṛta, in the Adi-līlā, Krishna Das Kaviraj Goswami gives us the mood of the Pañca Tattva.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
And it's-- was th-that they were chanting, dancing, and absorbing the holy name and distributing it at the same time.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
And the more that they experienced it themselves and gave it to others, the more it increased.
Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami MaharajaHOST
Read Prabhupada's books,
speaker_4GUEST
Bhagavad-gita, Bhagavatam, Caitanya-caritamrta.
speaker_4GUEST
Hear from the sadhu, hear from the sadhu.
speaker_4GUEST
Every page, this statement practically is there.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
that you mentioned the two.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
The Chaitanya Charitamrita, the Mahaprabhu said that the Lord has come in wood and water.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
And so, you know, he's wood in Jagannath and water in the Ganga.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
I like how he breaks things down into twos and fives and 64s and things like that.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
The loving affairs...
Vaisesika DasaHOST
That's Adi-lila, Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Adi-lila 4, text 55.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
The loving affairs of Sri Radha and Krishna are transcendental manifestations of the Lord's internal pleasure-giving potency.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
Although Radha and Krishna are one in their identity, they separated themselves eternally.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
I bow down to him who has manifested himself with the sentiment and complexion of Srimati Radharani, although he is Krishna himself.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
Prabhupada, this text is from the diary of Srila Swaroop Damodara Goswami.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
It appears as the fifth and first fourteen verses of Sri Caitanya-caritamrta.
Vaisesika DasaHOST
What are you all writing in your diary? And then the next verse.
Kaustubha DasHOST
And of them all, he's the one currently really very respected as, um, a scholar.
Kaustubha DasHOST
You know, he studied in the Western colleges, and, uh, obviously is very learned in Bhagavatam and, and Chaitanya Charitamrita and, and the history.
Kaustubha DasHOST
He spoke about the Goswamis, Raghunath.
Kaustubha DasHOST
It was beautiful, you know? And he was speaking on kind of what you're, what you're f- what you're showing your fascination in right now is that in one sen- when we think of the Goswamis, we generally think of the ultimate Vrindavan insiders.
RaghunathHOST
Hmm.
Kaustubha DasHOST
A- and, and of course they are in Krishna Leela, right? They're the, they're gopis in Vrindavan.
Kaustubha DasHOST
But in their Gaura Leela, in their Leela in Sri Chaitanya's time and pastimes, they're outsiders to Vrindavan.
Kaustubha DasHOST
None of them are Vrijavasis.
JayanandaGUEST
while meditating over their pastimes.
JayanandaGUEST
Hence, it is written about the practice of Rāga-Nūga Bhakta, this Chaitanya Charitamrita.
JayanandaGUEST
There are two kinds of sadhana, external and internal.
JayanandaGUEST
Externally one practices hearing and chanting with the sadhaka body.
Dhanurdhara SwamiHOST
Let's begin.
Dhanurdhara SwamiHOST
Simad, the Chaitanya Charitamrita.
Dhanurdhara SwamiHOST
Chapter, Volume 2, Chapter 5, Text 12.
Dhanurdhara SwamiHOST
Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya.
Sacinandana SwamiHOST
You can also do this by looking at photos perhaps or you might like to go with some devotees who know their way like Dinabandhu who brings you out of the honking town of Vindavan to the banks of the Yamuna and then you put these images in your heart.
Sacinandana SwamiHOST
There's a very nice verse in Chaitanya Charitamrita that says, for most people the mind and the heart are one.
Sacinandana SwamiHOST
But, this is Radharani, but because my mind is never separated from Vindavan, I consider my mind and Vindavan to be one.
Sacinandana SwamiHOST
My mind is already Vindavan, and since you like Vindavan, will you please place your lotus feet there? Yes, so the devotee of Krishna, he knows he will put Vindavan in his mind and there it will be very easy for him to meditate on Krishna.
