All glories to Śrī Śrī Guru–Gaurāṅga
Date—03.05.25
Gauḍīya Goṣṭhi Pati Śrī Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvami Ṭhākura Prabhupāda said that—” Still today those south Indian people they have wrong conception about the aprākṛta–līlā–vilās of Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Govinda, most of them are busy with Śrī Ram-Sītā-bhajan or Lakṣmī-Nārāyaṇa bhajan in the way of aiśvarya-marg-bhajan. As per their opinion this is more practical and authentic.”
In Kṛṣṇa līlā there are no restrictions. Kṛṣṇa līlā is the source of pure love which knows no boundaries. The gopikās are ready to throw away all rules and regulations of Vedic society (though we know that even to get established in vedic culture is not a matter of joke) just to meet with their heart Śrī Kṛṣṇa. Kṛṣṇa līlā has such a unique attraction.
Śrīla Prabhupāda said that—”When the pure, transcendental melody of His flute irresistibly captivates our purified heart, we shall, with a soul imbued entirely with śuddha-sattva, yearn to enter the aprākṛta Rasa-sthali.’
Also we know from Śrīmad Bhāgavatam the following ślokas —
tvayi me ‘nanya-viṣayā
matir madhu-pate ‘sakṛt
ratim udvahatād addhā
gaṅgevaugham udanvati (SB 1.8.42)
O Lord of Madhu, as the Ganges forever flows to the sea without hindrance, let my attraction be constantly drawn unto You without being diverted to anyone else.
Śrīla Prabhupāda further said that—”The day our subtle sensory inclinations get purified and transcend the earthly plane and ascend to the realm of Goloka, that day we shall become eligible to hear the divine flute-song (vaṁśī-dhvani) of Śrī Kṛṣṇa through the sweetness of our eternal spiritual identity in paramour love (madhura-rati). When the pure, transcendental melody of His flute irresistibly captivates our purified heart, we shall, with a soul imbued entirely with śuddha-sattva, yearn to enter the aprākṛta Rāsa-sthalī. On that day, the bonds of prājāpatya-dharma (worldly duties such as procreation, family responsibilities, or marriage) will cease to bind us. Neither the constraints of worldly norms, scriptural ordinances, bodily pleasures, selfish desires, nor the harsh reproach of kinsmen and society will hold any attraction for us.
We shall come to regard all worldly prestige as insignificant as straw, dismiss the pleasures of heaven as illusory flowers in the sky, and view even liberation as a mere worthless shell. Instead, we shall wholeheartedly embrace the one-pointed dharma of the utterly selfless Gopīs. In this state, the nectarean sweetness of the Lord’s names, revealed through the words of Śrī Guru, will enter deeply into our ears. The supremely enchanting form of Śrī Bhagavān will become the eternal object of our vision, and, captivated by His unparalleled beauty, we shall immerse ourselves entirely in His service.
Overwhelmed by the ambrosial narrations of His līlās, we will find our hearts irresistibly drawn to the sweetness of His divine pastimes. The impure, fragmented, and decaying concerns of the material world, tainted with inferior dharmas, will no longer cloud or distract us. Having attained our eternal constitutional function (nitya-vṛtti), we shall remain steadfast in transcendental rati, where the harmonious interplay of ālambana (the beloved as the shelter) and uddīpana (the stimulants of devotion) will converge to manifest the pure nectar of Kṛṣṇa-bhakti-rasa, enabling us to satisfy the senses of Śrī Kṛṣṇa.
When all anarthas (obstacles and impurities) are eradicated, the supreme destination—the divine lotus feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa—shall reveal itself as our eternal shelter and the ultimate culmination of our spiritual journey.”
