Lord Krishna Blesses Billavmangalji
Lord Krishna was pleased to
hear the sweet words of Shri Billavmangalji and accepted the prayer of Shri
Lilashuk by saying ‘tathastu’(so be
it).Amazed at the good fortune of his voice, Shri Billavmangalji raved,” I am

Shekhar desirous to relish rasa, and giving joy to Him. That is why His mind
and eyes are getting immersed in my work. His delighted countenance is making
me joyous, How fortunate am I! "

“This
voice of ‘Karnamrita’ is not merely delighting Krishna but showering
nectar into the ears gopis in Shri Vrindavan, the treasure trove of romantic
dalliances. How astonishing is this fact!
“In addition, these words
are showering an extraordinary unusual nectar into the ears of those loving
devotees who are steeped in the rasa of Krishna bhava. Those rasikas are pious
souls.
Shri Radhe-Krishna
“The work will bring joy to
even those rasikas who relish through repetition the sweet traits of Shri
Radha-Krishna, the Supreme Lover and His Beloved. Oh! This is the outcome of
Krishna’s marvellous grace otherwise how did this incapable person have such
energy! Oh! My astonishing good fortune!”says Shri Billavmangalji.
Billavmangalji's Work is Named 'Krishna-Karnamrita'
Three
meanings are expressed in this particular shloka
1)
Naming of this literary work as ‘Krishna-karnamrita’
2)
Describing the greatness of this composition because the bhakta and God can both
relish its sweet rasa.
3)The
work is a garland of verses and the basic svarupa of the pranas, the very
lives, of the upasakas of madhur rasa.
Shri Krishna & His Beloved Devotee
Shri Krishna Das Kaviraj
Goswami Pada says that Lord Krishna predicted,” O Lilashuk! This ‘Krishna-Karnamrita’
composed by You, will be like nectar for Me and my Beloveds, and for my charming
passionate devotees, there is no doubt about this fact, even so I am saying
‘tathastu’ or ‘So be it!’ in answer to your prayer.
On hearing what Krishna had
to say Lilashuka is extremely delighted, reason being that what could be more
joyful than the fact that Krishna Himself was praising his work?
“Lord! Your bhaktas have forever been pleased by the wave of Your rasa-laden fragrant bhakti-what’s new about this?” Lilashuka says in response.
You have
stated in the ‘Shrimad Bhagwat Gita’ with Your auspicious mouth:
Machhita Madgatprana Bodhyantah Parasparam
Kathyantasch maa nityam tushyanti ch ramanti ch
‘With their minds fixed on Me, and their lives surrendered unto Me; enlightening one another about My greatness and speaking of Me, My devotees ever remain contented and take delight in Me.’ (10.9)
Shri Means Shri Radha
