Category: Abhideya – The process

Sadhguru is beyond the ken of limited human intelligence and understanding. One who tries to understand Guru with so-called brilliance of brain power is simply a fool who has not experienced spiritual life so to say. Continue reading “Sadhguru Leela”

Thakhura Mahasaya says that one who is in the path of Bhakti should be careful as one associates with people who are outside the domain of Bhakti. Intimate relationship of devotees with people opposed to Continue reading “In Pursuit – Part Nine”

Our Gaudiya Parampara is the epitome of sweetness. No other spiritual system, one that awards the sweet loving service of the Lord in this current age is as empowered as the Brahma-Madhva Gaudiya Sampradaya. Continue reading “Gaudiya Geeti”

The path enjoined by Sriman Mahaprabhu is intensely special. A living entity that undertakes the Raganuga path of Bhakti under the benign guidance of a Sadhguru in that line and takes Hari Nama and Deeksha from such a guru is most fortunate. In that process one develops within oneself a spiritual vehicle that will allow one entry into the transcendental pastimes of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna. Continue reading “Spiritual Identity”

A person properly surrendered to Guru after Deeksha performs the Abhideya or process following which ultimately one will live with Krishna in an eternal body. It is not that one will only become qualified to exist that way after one leaves the body. If the qualification were to appear after leaving the body, Continue reading “Deeksha Insights – Part Two”

By Deeksha I mean the process of accepting the Gopala Mantra and the Radha mantra from a Sadhguru (God-realised Vaishnava saint) as per the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition as established by the 6 major Parivaras accepted by Sriman Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The Deeksha process is always preceded by the Harinama Samskaar. When someone in full cognizance accepts Deeksha it should be clear that Sri Krishna accepts that person as His own. Harinama gives one the qualification of a Vaishnava whereas Deeksha ensures ones entrance into the eternal pastimes in the Madhura rasa in the mood of Sri Guru Manjari who is the personal maid-servant of Sri Praneswari.

The path of Ashtanga Yoga or Jnana Yoga is called Pravritti marga. Here aspects of the mind, intelligence and inner nature are studied in the light of material nature and worked upon. Even on the paths of Jnana and Ashtanga unless one takes support of the superior path of Bhakti, perfection is impossible to attain. In these other paths the living entity loses his personal identity in the Absolute and thus he is not qualified to serve. Continue reading “Nivritti-The path of fixed Consciousness”

There are 9 processes of Bhakti and Atma-Nivedana or surrendering one’s all to the feet of Srila Gurudeva and the Supreme Lord completes our attempt to connect with the Lord. Atma-Nivedana is that aspect of free-will of the living entity which is completely applied in service of the Lord. Continue reading “Tyaga- The Basis of Atma-Nivedana”

Sri Thakhura Mahasaya is in “Lalasa” or divine expectation of being granted servitude at the feet of Srimati Radharani and thus he is in the mood of Das anudas which means he is the servant of Loknatha Goswami , who in turn is the servant of Rupa Goswami who in turn is the servant of Sriman Mahaprabhu. In his eternal form as a Campaka Manjari, Thakhura Mahasaya is the servant of Sri Manjulali manjari who in turn is the servant of Rupa Manjari who in turn is the servant of Srimati Radharani.
