Hare Krishna Guru Maharaja, please accept my humble obeisances. I have a question, reading Upadesamrita, I have a doubt, on what depends, the rasa we have with Krishna?, Santa, Vatsalya, Madhurya... it, depends of us or from Krishna, or from both?, thank you very much,

Your servant

Danistha devi dasi.

HpS/ASA - As far, AgtSP! paoho... as we understand we already have a relationship with Krsna. https://vedabase.io/en/library/noi/4/#bb5903

We are made that way by Krsna, but He we are like Him because we have free will and we discover newer and newer types of service we can offer to him

The flute is in Shanta rasa in Braja, no? Yet, that is Shanta Rasa in BRAJA!!!

So, we can always improve our Rasa.

Maybe we are in Dasya rasa in Vaikuntha. No one is going to give up any spiritual gift they have, but .... if they join Sita, Rama, Laksmana, Hanuman in an incarnationin the material world, they may follow Hanuman and then add some Sakhya Rasa to their Dasya Rasa and have connection, residence, in Ayodhya?

Does it help?

Sorry slow to answer Blog posts around Gurupuja time. There were so many. Taking us five months to really begin to digest them and also read the Reports to Srila Prabhupada.

Thank you.

Great question.
