All Glories to A.C. Prabhupada, Sripada Maharaja
All Glories to Gouranga Mahaprabhu and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay!
Guru Maharaja! Dandavat Pranam,
Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja's padmacharan that I am continuing the reading of Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu 2:2:70. The sangskrit words used here, the meaning and the translation into English are very tough and difficult to graps the idea. For example “ Raga, Raganuga-Bhakti, Ragatmika-Bhakti, Vaidhi-Bhakti etc.” In Gita 2.56 the word Raga is translated as attachment and in Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu and other related books it is the process of thinking in the spiritual life. The Ragatmika is related only the inhabitants of Vraja. Please explain the differences between Bhakti and Vaidhi Bhakti, Seva and Bhakti.
Guruji, please explain in a simpler way or form of expression the above sangskrit words.
The regular Sunday Bhagavatam Patha is also continuing and as a part of it I will narrate the portion of 9:10.4 and will continu further.
In the meantime, we are planning for the Guruji’s Manipur visit programme from 1-4 Nov. 2017. We will finalise the exact number of Prasadam and books required for the function with Banamali Prabhu, Ekanatha Prabhu and Sadhubhusan Das shortly in Imphal and the amounts to be deposited.
How the Astrali tour is going on?
Yours fallen sarvent

All Glories to A.C. Prabhupada, Sripada Maharajam,
All Glories to Gouranga Mahaprabhu and Goura Bhakta Vrnda Ki Jay!
Guru Maharaja, Dandavat Pranam!
Please accept my humble obeisances unto Guruji Maharaja's padmacharan that after Guruji's reply I have more courage for reading more and more books. The meaning of Guruji's sankirtan is reading and chanting more.
Haridasa Swami informed me that the Navadwip parikrama will start from the 18th Feb. 2018 by registration so we are planning to reach Mayapur on the 17th Feb. 2018 by evening. If Guruji’s India programme is fixed it will be a golden change for us to see and served Guruji during Navadwip parikrama. We are trying to join in the English speaking team (group).
In the Bhakti Rasamrita Sindhu 1:2:295 - Following after the inhabitants of Vraja, one should perform service in one's physical body and in one's siddha body, with a desire for a particular bhava.
Sadhaka-rupa refers to the physical body of the practitioner. Siddhaka-rupa refers to the body which is suitable for one's desired service, and which has been developed by internal meditation.
The siddha-rupa is given by a guru on the path of raga-bhakti when he sees the qualification for raganuga-bhakti and a particular inclination in a partiular disciple. However, forms of manjaris, assistants to the Sakhis of Radha, seem to be the most prminent forms given.
From my little knowledge I think that Sakhis are the helpers of the outer parts and manjaris are the helpers of the inner part and Sadhaka is upto Nabadwip and Siddhaka is for Brndavan. Correct me if mistaken.
HpS - Hare Krsna!! The citations above are from where? It is a translation of Bhakti-rasa-amrta-sindhu? The translations we have are Srila Prabhupada's Nectar of Devotion, which Dhanurdhara Swami expands greatly in Waves of Devotion and also Prof. David Haberman's translation and Introduction and Bhanu Swami's translation and commentary.
As we understand "Sadhana-rupa" means the form we do Sadhana-bhakti with. This can be done with bother the Gross and Subtle body. This involves following the rules and regulations of Bhakti presented by the Acharya eg. 16-rounds on beads and three Gayatri chanting in the mind.
Siddha-rupa refers to the eternal form of the living entity when it is again awake, "upadesamrta: "nitya siddha krsna prema..."". Now it is sleeping, compressed by subtle and gross material body, but its spiritual nature is what gives life to the material body. Like we are sleeping but we are alive and that animates our gross breathing.
Sakhis are Gopis over 12-years old, past puberty. Manjaris are Gopis pre-puberty. Of course this is TOTALLY spiritual. They are all in Krsna lila in Vraja. Nabadvipa lila in Lord Caitanya and the Goswamis in external lila and as we understand there is a corresponding part in Braja where Krsna with the help of Lalita and Visakha tries to understand Srimati Radharani's ecstacy by talking about it and immitating it.
O.K?
Raganuga Bhakti is not something that is imposed. This is a mistake that it generated from the deivant Siddha-pranali sect that has been centered in Radha-kunda. Again, "nitya siddha krsna prema.." NOI. We have a spiritual situaion we are Manjaris, Monkeys, Milk, Millers, Vaikuntha-vasis, Ayodhya-vasis and we are just trying by Sadhana bhakti and then Raganuaga bhakti to wake up our spiritual form, ourselves. The spiritual master guides you in acting according to your Siddha-rupa when you, it, is a little awake by guiding you in activities that will especially wake up your eternal service relation with Krsna.
Eg. you can play the piano music from the paper, but it is very mechanica, but when your teacher says, 'I'll play it on the violin, you play on the piano". Then, in his associaton you can play with Raga, feeling, and of course, that stimulates your eternal Raga.
O.K?
Yours fallen servant

Acepte por favor mir reverencias
Disculpeme por no escribir antes. Ahora estoy de vacaciones y tengo mas tiempo para estudiar y realizar mas servicios. Madre Prema padmini llegó a Lima hace unas semanas atrás y me dio el servicio de llevar adelante el programa Bhakti vriksha en Lima, yo lo acepté con mucha alegría ya que fue mi fuente de inspiración hace 10 años atrás.
Estoy siguiendo adelante con mis servicios en el templo, como educador y pujari, y ahora voy hacer lo posible para que el programa Bhakti vriksha vuelve a ser la fuente de inspiración para muchos devotos del yatra
Gracias Gurudev por su inspiración y dedicación
Hare Krishna
