rupa ragunatha pade
rupa ragunatha pade
hoibe akuti
kabe hama bujhaba se yugala-piriti
If you want to know
If you want to know what is the priti of conjugal love
then you will have to go to Rupa Goswami, Ragunatha Goswami, and pray
Oh Prabhu, You should be merciful to us
and only by the blessings and mercy of Rupa Goswami
we can know what is yugula piriti
otherwise in colleges we cannot have these things
anywhere in the world, in no colleges
even a bit of sraddha (faith) can we have from colleges
those who are nastik (atheist) what can they learn (teach) us?
They cannot teach us anything. They will teach us *** for tat
cana, kiniti and all other things.
Policy, duplicity, hypocrisy, all these they will teach us.
so yaha bhagavata pada vaisnavera sthane (CC Antya 5.131)
You should go to a Vaisnava
You should go to a Vaisnava and you should learn what is Bhagavat
the real meaning they will give. Not any universities or philosophical colleges anywhere
Krsna prema and Krsna bhakti can be achieved only by unconditional surrender
Without surrender we cannot have a little atom of bhakti
anywhere it is not written that we can go to any learned person
there are lakhs and lakhs (100,000's) learned persons, in India also, who know all the vedas
in their memory
they can utter very good
Purusa Sukta, Sri Sukta and all Suktas
We cannot utter. I dont know in what college Haridas Thakur has read?
He has attended what college? He was the Principal perhaps of THAT college.
Nama Acharaya. Who has given him this title?
Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself gave. And he can not write A, B, C
How he became (Principal of that college)? By the mercy of Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Adwaita Acharya
We dont know in what college Srivas Pandit or any has gone
Krsna bhakti can not be had anywhere in this world
yaha bhagavata pada vaisnavera sthane
So here (in this song), Narottama Thakur was a very learned person in Sanskrit and Bengali
and he was a top learned person. But (in this song) he is telling to Lokanath Goswami
that, 'Oh Gurudeva be merciful to me that I should go to Rupa and Sanatana, Rupa and Ragunatha'
only by their mercies, if we will surrender fully in their lotus feets
then automatically Krsna prema will come
sraddha, nistha, ruci, asakti, bhava, prema, sneha, mana, pranaya, raga, anuraga, bhava, mahabhava
Like a garland it will come
But going to school, colleges, to professors and principals anywhere in this world
even a little bit of bhakti, even sraddha we can not have
So you should try to go to Vaisnavas
Even if they are madhyama adhikari they can give
at least sraddha, nistha, ruci
asakti. At this level they can give
and after that we should go to Uttama Adikari then we can recognize
we can realize that who is vaisnava madhyama and who is uttama
without uttama adhikari prema cannot be achieved
you should have a very tight understanding
so dont go to colleges and schools
any persons who are 'learned'
Anuswara and Visarga they can do
Anuswara and Visarga they can do
anuswara and visarga they can do (teach). Uttaka, bitak dandak
they have no relation with Krsna at all
try to honor them (vaisnavas)
if you will have to give honor, then try to give honor to those kinds of devotees
if you will have to give honor, then give honor to those kinds of devotees
even to kanistha you should honor
who are against you, you should give honor to them
so here how can we give honor?
so here (in this situation) how can we give honor?
we can give honor only by the grace of Nityananda Prabhu
if the mercy of Nityananda Prabhu
if the mercy of Nityananda Prabhu is coming to us then we can chant
gauranga bolite ha'be pulaka sarira
like this. 'Oh Gaura Nityananda! Sacinandana Gaurahari'
otherwise we cannot tell. We can make a sound
gauranga bolite ha'be pulaka sarira
but that sound is mundane sound
Nityananda Prabhu cannot hear this. Caitanya Mahaprabhu will not hear this
those who have surrendered solely to Nityananda Prabhu
and Nityananda Prabhu accepted them
then all these sounds will go to Caitanya Mahaprabhu and heart will be melted
then all these sounds
and that melting through eyes will come as tears
then our lives will be successful. This is the process
where to have Nityananda Prabhu? Oh Nityananda Prabhu has manifested Himself in so many
Sad Gurus. But really they should be Gurus.
So called Guru
So called Guru cannot do anything
In this world there are so many so-called Gurus
having the vesa (dress) but having so much anger, ***
hypocrisy, envy, everything.
they are not even a Vaisnava, what to speak of a Sad Guru
so we should try.. but our try will not do
we should tell to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Nityananda Prabhu,
'Prabhu You should manage sadhu sanga for me'
'Prabhu You should manage sadhu sanga for me'
'Prabhu You will have to manage sadhu sanga, Sad Guru for me'
He will hear certainly, if our desire is earnest.
He will hear certainly
and then we can do all these things. Then we can pray to Rupa, Sanatan
rupa raghunatha pade haibe akuti
kabe hama bujhaba se yugala-piriti
rupa raghunatha pade haibe akuti
kabe hama bujhaba se yugala-piriti
If you are not going in proper channel then what will be?
Instead of going to Rupa Ragunatha we will go to anyone else
and we will be attached to wordly sense gratifications
we are bound to be like that
so we should go to Vaisnavas. But it is very hard to
have the association of Vaisnavas. If we have no past impressions
you cannot have the association of bonafide Vaisnavas
then what to do?
If you are not going in this process you cannot realize what is yugala-piriti
even sraddha you cannot know
What is yugala-piriti? And what is Vrindavan?
Those who are living in Vrindavan, they are not vraja basis actually
Who are vraja basis?
Who are vraja basis? No desires. Worldly desires
They have relation to Krsna with sakha, vatsalya bhava and gopi bhava
If anyone has this relation and serving Krsna, actually serving Them in 3 moods
they are vraja basis
I think those who have taken birth in Vrindavan like tortoise, like others
like donkeys, they are in Vrindavan but they are not in Vrindavan
actually they are not in Vrindavan Those who have relation with Krsna
What relation? Oh he is my friend And serving Krsna, Oh he is my son
serving him like Yasoda and Nanda
and he is my beloved like gopis Then actually they are vraja basis
Rupa Sanatan were vraja basis because they were Rupa Manjari and Lavanga Manjari
Ananga Manjari and all these Manjaris
They are seen in the shape of male but actually they were not male
They have descended here only to give mercy to people
To make (them) qualified to be in Vrindavan
And you are vraja basis? No I am not vraja basis
Actually I am not. But I have some hope that I will be one day vraja basis
by their mercies. So dont think that all are vraja basis
those who are serving in that mood and those who want this
they are raganuga Vaisnava only.
they are thinking that when a day will come that by the mercy of Nityananda Prabhu, Baladeva Prabhu
I will be vraja basis and I will serve vraja basis
We can serve braja basis
We can serve vraja basis. Dont think and have ego that I am vraja basis in Vrindavan
only you should pray that I can serve vraja basis and then in any day in any birth I maybe vraja basi
so in this poem he is saying that rupa ragunatha pade ha'be hoibe akuti
kabe hama bujhaba se yugala-piriti
so
so we should pray, 'Oh Rupa Ragunatha have mercy to me
I am not qualified but yet I want your mercy
if you will not do krpa (mercy) then I may die
so we should pray like this
sad-anga saranagati haibe jahara tahara prarthana sune sri nanda-kumara
sad-anga saranagati. You know sad-anga saranagati? This is the basis of bhakti
Not bhakti. Saranagati is not bhakti
but it is the basis
but it is the basis
it is the door of Sri Bhakti
What is saranagati?
anukulyasya sankalpa pratikulyasya varjanam raksisyatiti visvaso goptrtve varanam tatha atma-niksepa-karpanye sad-vidha saranagatih (Bhakti-sandarbha-A-236)
First what are helpful for bhakti we can accept
we should not accept anything which are unfavorable
like one thing. We give a class on Bhagavat and we take so much money
Oh, I will take $10,000 then I will read Bhagavat for 7 days
this is helpful or unhelpful? What is this?
Unfavorable
You will do kirtan and take some paisa, some money. You should give up this thing
I will be a bramacari and worship daily to Thakurji
also I will do kirtan. You should make $25,000 yearly
What is this?
Unfavorable. This is offence
If anyone wants to serve Krsna and Gurudeva He will tell Gurudeva, 'Oh Gurudeva I will serve you
but you will have to pay $40,000 to me yearly. I will serve you
I will cook for you. I will serve you
even not so much. Gurudeva you should pay me for my clothes, my food
lodging and all the charges and I will serve you
and I will propagate you. That you are a jagat guru
you should give
I will take a video and preach for you and you should pay me $20,000 yearly
I will do
I will do freely all these things in the whole world
that you are a very big siddha mahatma and you are jagat guru
and if you will not give then I will do opposite
and if you will not give
these are not bhakti
so you should adopt
so you should adopt
what are favorable and reject what are unfavorable
there are so many things like this
have a very good faith in Krsna that he will support me
he will give everything that we want
anyone (else) cannot do
I am taking the shelter of Krsna whether he will save or not save me
it depends on him
and surrender atma-nivedana
these are 6 - saranagati
first saranagati should come to Gurudeva and then
Gurudeva will give it to the lotus feet of Radha and Krsna or Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Nityananda Prabhu
these are process
so first be sincere sincere devotee
not wanting anything anyabhilasita sunyam
if there are so many requirements from Krsna, Gurudeva
then he is not a bonafide sisya and disciple
we should try to follow all these things otherwise Krsna prema, bhakti will not come
sadhana bhakti will not come
so rupa ragunatha pade hoibe akuti
There is an ocean of rasa in hare krsna hare krsna krsna krsna hare hare hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare
But we dont know anything
Like a boy was playing with his toys
Like
Like
toys were like glasses, pieces of glass
anyone came, a monkey came and took that glittering glass
and he went on the trees and he vanished
the father of that boy came and began to search for it
he could not find where it is in the meantime a johari came
johari you know? a jeweler
not jeweler, but those who recognize what is jewel or not jewel
gemologist. He came and asked where is that glittering glass?
actually is what not glittering glass it was hera, and the best kind of hera
hera means diamond, the best kind
I saw that boy playing with that thinking it was a toy and also you were thinking
I saw that boy playing with that
but actually it was a very precious precious diamond
what was the price? what may be the price? I cannot tell the price
perhaps the whole of America could be sold to anyone
the price would yet be some less. it was so
and it was so qualified that if anything, if iron, was touched to that it would be diamond
so from that lakhs and lakhs (100,000's) diamonds can come like Koh-i-noor and more than that
you know Koh-i-noor? In India it was, and at last in came to England
it is in the Queen's crown
it is like Syamantaka Mani (Syamantaka Jewel)
then he began to think, 'Oh where to keep?'
so harinam is more than that
so harinam is more than that
I may tell a story? Very good story
There was a siddha mahapurusha siddha mahapurusha you know?
uttama bhagavat (top most devotee)
he used to live in a village
in a solitary place in Vrindavan anywhere near Yamuna
and he used to chant hare krsna hare krsna and he used to weep
his hairs used to be (up - standing on end)
he had one disciple. He was also surrendered
