Simple Meaning:
Krishna, the Ornament of Gokul
While bowing down to
Krishna, who is the ornament of Shrimad Gokul, who is a glowing tejpunj, a mass of light, who is beyond
words as well as thought, who is the great ocean of madhurya, sweet loving
tenderness, Shri Billavmangal ji says that Krishna shines forth in the ecstatic
states of those pious bhaktas who ardently long to have His darshan occasioned
by an inexpressible deluge of unrestrained transcendental rapture.
Rasa-laden Commentary:
Krishna is Tejpunj, a Glowing Mass of Light
Krishna Manifests for His Loving Devotees
'You manifest in front of
those loving devotees whose hearts are totally dependent on You, who ardently
long to behold You, who are overwhelmed with spontaneous transcendental
delight, who are absorbed because of having relished the sweetness of Your lila
and who are longing to behold Your spirited antics.'
Krishna, the Blue-hued Saphire of Gokul
This mass of glowing divine
light is not Nirakar or formless but Sakar, having form. He the ornament of
Gokul Mandal. Gokul has been blessed, highly blessed, only because of Your arrival.You
are the glory of the residents of Gokul, Your grandeur can not be described in
words. Lord Krishna ornaments Gokul like the Neelamani or blue sapphire; He is
surely the ornament of Nand Bhavan in Gokul.
In
the words of Surdas:
Surdas Describes Krishna
shobha sindhu na ant rahi
ree |
nand bhavan bharpuri umag
chali, braj kee beethinha phirat bahee
ree |
dekhi jai aaj gokul mein,
ghar-ghan bechati phirati dahee ree |
kahan lagi kahaun banai
vividh vidhi, kahat na mukh sahsahun nibahee ree|
jasumati udar agadh udadhi
te, upaji aisee saban kahee ree|
‘surshyam’ prabhu
indraneelmani, brajvanita ur laee gahee ree |’
Your svarupa is beyond mind
and words. Our mind and eyes behold You but they do not have words. Besides,
words can not have darshan of what they can describe.
tadapi
kahe binu raha na koi
(Sri Ramcharitmanas)
Gopis Want to Contain the Image of the Eternal Lover in their Minds
Your ineffably beauteous
Form, Your capriciousness and fickleness can’t be described.
Innumerable waves of beauty keep rising in
Your youthful form. Gopikas truly longed to contain these waves of the Lord’s transcendental form,
their Eternal Beloved in their minds and vital breaths of their lives, but the
image they saw when they opened their eyes was
absolutely different. They were astonished to see hundreds of streams of
a new image gushing forth. How could they fill their hearts with these new
waves which were rising, moment after moment! Therefore You are beyond mind and
words.
Rasikas have been describing Your form till date, are doing so and will
do so in the future but they are restless and not yet satisfied. They feel that
they have not been able to describe You at all.
Krishna is Dependent on the Gopis
I bow down to that tejpunj, the glowing
mass of light, who is dependent on the gopis but is beyond description.
This very tejpunj is our Neel Brahma, Who
bestows joy on us, grants coolness on us, He is the Supreme Lover of the gopis.
They plunge in the romantic dalliances of this blue-hued Krishna, night and
day.
The
sweetness of madhuryaika-maharnavaya
jyotipunj relished by the gopas and gopikas of Braj can be attained only by
the very pious souls who are endowed with extremely selfless pure love like
them.
Visualizing Krishna with Eyes Anointed with Divine Love
It has been said in the ‘Brahma Samhita’
premAGjanacchurita
bhakti vilocanena
santaH sa daiva hRdayeSu vilokayanti,
santaH sa daiva hRdayeSu vilokayanti,
(Sri
Brahma Samhita. 38)
"I
worship Lord Govinda, the Primeval Supreme Personality, Syama Sundara, Whom the
pure devotees ever visualize in the core of their hearts through eyes anointed with
Divine Love,"
This is exactly what Shri Billavmangal ji
is saying:
sukritam bhaveshu nirhasine
Lord Krishna shines forth in the hearts of
pious bhaktas.
Krishna Shines in the Hearts of Pious Bhaktas
bhav badyo tab janiye
yeh gati hoye anoop |
bhool bhukh aru sain sukh, nain bhare rahain roop ||
jehi ur upajyo premras, so nit rahat udas |
bhulyo hansivo khelibo, khan pan sukh vaas ||
prem beli jehi ur chadee, gayo sabai sudhi bhool |
ek kamal ‘dhruv’ chah ko, taake ur rahyo phool ||
(Shri Hit Dhruv Das)
