Shri Dham Vrindavan
Priya Vijay,
“ Krsne matir astu”
[Let your attention be on Krsna’s feet”]
Shri Vrishbhanupur
Ever since I came
back after meeting you at Shri Vrishbhanupur I have been thinking of writing a
letter to you but somehow it got delayed.
Shri Radha Kund
Spontaneously liberating
you from worldly bonds, the infinite mercy of Krishna has bestowed residence at
Shri Radha Kund. What greater act of compassion can there be?
Dark-hued Krishna's Loving Tenderness
All that you have to
do is properly utilise dark-hued Krishna’s loving tenderness bestowed on you
and that too thoughtfully and conscientiously. This is the task only you have
to do. The Supreme Lover’s grace and hand that grants blessing always accompany
a virtuous act.
Residence at a
spiritual site and detachment are the means and not the destination. This is a
fact to be remembered at all times. Not forgetting the truth that
‘gantavyasthal’, the destination site, is our supreme and ultimate goal and the
object of human pursuit. An ardent longing is essential for reaching our
destination, which can in turn help us reach our spiritual goal.
Our Relationship with Krishna
Krishna, the Supreme Object of worship, is
dependent on svarupa and our relationship with Him. No matter how tough a
sadhana we have done, no matter how intensely detached we are if we are not
passionately serious and long for connection with the svarupa of Krishna there
is no possibility of attaining the Supreme Object.
Narada Bhakti Sutra
Narad Bhakti Sutra:’ tad vismarane param vyakulta’ only in
this state of intense longing is it possible to spontaneously forget about the mundane
world. Only when one forgets about own loved
ones, family members and gurus is the feeling of closeness to the Supreme Object
possible. Otherwise hard work and out effort is all that remains. Consequently
we get a minimum amount of profit or return.
Focusing Our Thoughts on Krishna
Solely focusing our
thoughts upon Krishna and remembering Him and letting His lila or divine play
hover over and pervade every fiber of our being is what is required. Our
thoughts are to be overpowered by His beauteous form, gunas and loving
tenderness. Furthermore, we must even forget who we are and who our well
wishers are. Alongside a concentrated internal
practice of imaginative recollection by living through the countless playful
legends of Radha and Krishna is a must.
The Beauteous From of Krishna
Only then is it possible to
slightly relish His beauteous form and ineffable beauty. If we do not adopt
this course of there is the danger of extreme delay.
Meditating Upon Lord Krishna
Our
mind has to be constantly absorbed in meditating upon Lord Krishna’s lila or
divine play. Striving towards not letting other thoughts weigh on our mind is
what is most essential. Considering virtuous deeds to be nurturing our
remembrance of Krishna is also a hurdle in our path. If we want to attain
Supreme Object Krishna as soon as possible we should be forever possessed and
overwhelmed by His form and gunas.
Shri Radha
You must have probably
understood what I am trying to say. Everything is fine here. Pay my regards to
Shri Radha Kund which is the svarupa of Shri Radha.
Jai Radhe,
Yours Manohar Das
