\u201cKirtana prabhave samarana svabhave.<\/em><\/strong>\u201c<\/p>\n

This phrase from\u00a0Vaisnava ke?<\/em>\u00a0encapsulates Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura\u2019s approach to\u00a0smarana<\/em>\u00a0of the\u00a0raga marg<\/em>. It states that by the power of\u00a0kirtana<\/em>,\u00a0smarana<\/em>on one\u2019s spiritual prospect in\u00a0lila seva<\/em>\u00a0will arise naturally, as opposed to forced, mechanical meditation that does not arise out of\u00a0Harinama<\/em>\u00a0and is undertaken beforeceto darpana marjanam<\/em>\u00a0is attained.<\/p>\n

Harinama<\/em>\u00a0is actually central to\u00a0raga marg<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0smaranam<\/em>\u00a0is to be fortified by it. Furthermore it is\u00a0Harinama<\/em>\u00a0that one can engage in despite an impure heart, whereassamranam<\/em>\u00a0requires a pure heart in order to engage in it effectively. Mahaprabhu has shown this by his own example, and he is Krsna in his\u00a0acarya-lila<\/em>. He has also taught this in his\u00a0Siksastakam<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Adkhikara<\/em>\u00a0for\u00a0siddha rupa seva<\/em>\u00a0is a widely debated issue, with conservative and liberal interpretations of\u00a0lobha<\/em>. However, Sri Jiva Goswami has in my opinion written most authoritatively on the subject in his\u00a0Bhakti-sandarbha<\/em>, leaving little room for doubt.<\/p>\n

Bhakti<\/em>\u00a0is not our right but a gift. Granted it is given with\u00a0diksa<\/em>\u00a0in terms of the opportunity to pursue it\u2014the effort to attain more grace, if you will.\u00a0Sadhana<\/em>\u00a0is an effort to attain grace in the form of the blessing of\u00a0bhava<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Raganuga sadhana<\/em>\u00a0is a big subject and it is explained in different ways by different lineages. The Bhaktivinoda\u00a0parivara<\/em>\u00a0tends to take a conservative approach, as do a number of other Gaudiya\u00a0parivaras<\/em>. What follows is a description of such a conservative approach.<\/p>\n

As far as our choice for\u00a0rasa<\/em>, this is repeatedly explained by the Goswamis to be a result of association. With whom one associates one becomes like\u2014samskara<\/em>. This is the general rule. What appears to be an exception must then be attributed to previous association in another life or the fact that, for example, other\u00a0bhavas<\/em>\u00a0such as\u00a0sakhya<\/em>\u00a0are contained within\u00a0madhurya<\/em>. Thus one such\u00a0bhava<\/em>\u00a0may become the\u00a0bhava<\/em>\u00a0of a disciple of the\u00a0madhurya rasa guru<\/em>\u00a0that the disciple is serving.<\/p>\n

Then again, the\u00a0guru<\/em>\u00a0is representing Rasaraja, and thus in a general sense all\u00a0rasas<\/em>. Looking at it this way, even a\u00a0guru<\/em>\u00a0in\u00a0sakhya rasa<\/em>\u00a0can give\u00a0madhurya rasa<\/em>\u2014just as the president comes from a particular state with state affinities but as the president he or she represent all of the states. As\u00a0saksad hari tvena<\/em>\u00a0the\u00a0guru<\/em>\u00a0represents all possibilities, whereas\u2014kintu prabhur ya priya eva tasya<\/em>\u2014he or she also has a particular sentiment that most disciples will follow\u2014krsnanandaya dhimahi<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The choosing of a sentiment described by Thakura Bhaktivinoda is tied to\u00a0ruci<\/em>.\u00a0Ruci<\/em>constitutes the absence of material desire\u2014na dhanam na janam na sundarim kavitam va<\/em>\u2014and the dawning of three spiritual desires:\u00a0praptya-abhilasa<\/em>,\u00a0anukulya-abhilasa<\/em>, and\u00a0sauhrdha-abhilasa<\/em>\u2014the desire to attain Krsna, the desire to serve him favorably, and the desire to establish a particular affectionate relationship with him. These desires begin to manifest in the stage of\u00a0ruci<\/em>, and thus in the context of serious and deepsadhana<\/em>, wherein the medicine of chanting has become one\u2019s food.<\/p>\n

The feeling that the desire to establish a specific affectionate relationship with Krsna is one\u2019s own choice is a particular perspective. Actually it descends or arises in the purified heart through\u00a0sadhana<\/em>, as\u00a0nama smaranam<\/em>\u00a0develops into\u00a0rupa<\/em>\u00a0and then\u00a0guna smaranam<\/em>, or natural, self-arising meditation on a particular from of Krsna and particular qualities of his (out of the 64) relative to the affectionate relationship desired.<\/p>\n

Sri Jiva Goswami explains in his\u00a0Durgama-sangamani<\/em>\u00a0that the\u00a0ruci<\/em>\u00a0aspect of\u00a0bhava<\/em>(rucibis citta masrnya krd<\/em>) is constituted of these desires. So before attaining\u00a0bhava<\/em>, asruci<\/em>\u00a0itself is attained these desires begin to manifest. But unlike the stages of\u00a0asakti<\/em>\u00a0andbhava<\/em>\u00a0wherein they flow spontaneously, in\u00a0ruci<\/em>\u00a0they are cultivated with one\u2019s intelligence. Sri Jiva says about the stage of\u00a0ruci<\/em>\u00a0that, \u201cRuci<\/em>\u00a0means desire for the Bhagavan, that is directed by the intellect\u201d\u2014rucir abhilasah kintu buddhi-purvakam<\/em>.<\/p>\n

But in\u00a0nistha<\/em>\u00a0one can also fix one\u2019s ideal on the basis of deep study of\u00a0sastra<\/em>\u00a0that this stage typically involves\u2014nityam bhagavata sevaya<\/em>. Or on the basis of serving the person Bhagavata and desiring to follow him or her internally. And this will likely give rise to a corresponding desire in\u00a0ruci<\/em>. Or even before that in earlier stages the\u00a0guru<\/em>\u00a0may tell us that we are to follow a particular\u00a0bhava<\/em>\u00a0as our ideal. However, in the stage of\u00a0anistha bhajana kriya<\/em>\u00a0and before\u00a0anartha nivritti<\/em>, eligibility for\u00a0lila smaranam<\/em>\u00a0from the perspective of one\u2019s desired affectionate relationship is surely lacking. How can one meditate effectively when one is distracted by other desires, other values (principal\u00a0anarthas<\/em>)? Meditation unlike\u00a0kirtana<\/em>\u00a0requires eligibility. Thus Sri Jiva recommends\u00a0nama smaranam<\/em>first, which when done attentively cleanses the heart and develops naturally into\u00a0rupa<\/em>,guna<\/em>, and in\u00a0asakti<\/em>,\u00a0lila smaranam<\/em>.\u00a0Rupa<\/em>,\u00a0guna<\/em>, and\u00a0lila<\/em>\u00a0are all within the name. And it is Thakura Bhaktivinoda who cautions against premature attempts at such\u00a0lila smaranam<\/em>in his\u00a0Bhajana-rahasya<\/em>: \u201cThe intelligence of one who thinks of his\u00a0siddha-deha<\/em>\u00a0without first achieving eligibility becomes bewildered.\u201d He calls this\u00a0sahajiya-bhava<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Following the above, one who has not attained\u00a0ruci<\/em>\u00a0but is attracted to the idea of following the\u00a0bhavas<\/em>\u00a0of the Vrajavasis is an \u201cajata-ruci raganuga sadhaka<\/em>.\u201d This is the language Jiva Goswami uses to describe such a\u00a0sadhaka<\/em>\u00a0who has become attracted to the\u00a0raga marg<\/em>\u00a0as a result of associating with a\u00a0sadhu<\/em>\u00a0on that\u00a0marg<\/em>\u00a0but who at the same time is not fully eligible to tread it. Treading it requires doing so in two bodies, a\u00a0sadhaka deha<\/em>\u00a0and a\u00a0siddha deha<\/em>. Thus one can follow this\u00a0marg<\/em>\u00a0with a\u00a0sadhaka deha<\/em>, as Jiva Goswami explains, before one begins serving in one\u2019s\u00a0siddha deha<\/em>\u00a0in meditation. One does so by adhering to the hearing and chanting of\u00a0vaidhi bhakti<\/em>\u00a0with the aspiration to eventually attain such a\u00a0siddha deha<\/em>\u00a0and full eligibility to tread the\u00a0raga marg<\/em>. This is then a mixture of\u00a0raga<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0vaidhi sadhana<\/em>\u00a0with the aim of attaining further eligibility for pure\u00a0raganuga sadhana<\/em>\u00a0that is driven by\u00a0ruci<\/em>. The idea is that the\u00a0siddha deha<\/em>\u00a0arises out of the fully engaged\/absorbed\u00a0sadhaka deha<\/em>. Today, many want a\u00a0siddha deha<\/em>without taking the trouble to fully engage their\u00a0sadhaka deha<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Where does\u00a0lobha<\/em>\u00a0fit in? In the lowest sense of the term it constitutes the desire to follow the\u00a0bhavas<\/em>\u00a0of Vraja, as opposed to the majestic love of Vaikuntha. This sets one on the path in as much as the path differs from pure\u00a0vaidhi bhakti<\/em>\u00a0only in terms of orientation and subsequent ideal. But\u00a0lobha<\/em>\u00a0in and of itself does not turn one into a\u00a0jata-ruci raganuga sadhaka<\/em>. First comes\u00a0ajata-ruci raganuga sadhana<\/em>. And continuing along conservative lines, Mukunda Goswami has commented in his\u00a0Bhaktirasamrita-sindhu tika<\/em>\u00a0that\u00a0lobha<\/em>\u00a0for\u00a0raganuga sadhana<\/em>\u00a0is more rare than\u00a0bhava<\/em>\u00a0of\u00a0vaidhi bhakti<\/em>, which Sri Rupa describes as\u00a0sudurlabha<\/em>, very rare.<\/p>\n

At any rate, while\u00a0raga bhakti<\/em>\u00a0is open to all, qualification to tread the path in all respects is something that is gradually developed, as Jiva Goswami has explained. Indeed many who aspire for Vraja\u00a0prema<\/em>\u00a0cannot even participate in such discussions due their present lack of eligibility.<\/p>\n

Knowledge related to one\u2019s\u00a0siddha deha<\/em>\u00a0and esoteric\u00a0raga marg<\/em>\u00a0practices can be attained in one of three ways. One can hear about these from one\u2019s\u00a0diksa guru<\/em>, from one\u2019s\u00a0siksa guru<\/em>, or they may be revealed through\u00a0sadhana<\/em>. The first two possibilities speak of information that will gradually need to be realized. The third speaks of gradual realization independent of any specific information. The venerable Visvantha Cakravarti Thakura explains this in his\u00a0Ragavatma-candrika<\/em>. He cites the following Bhagavatam verse (SB 11.14.26) as evidence in support of the third method.<\/p>\n

\u201cJust as a diseased eye treated with medicinal ointment will gradually see more clearly, similarly a conscious living entity\u2014the seer\u2014when purified by hearing and chanting about my virtues, will gradually be able to see more clearly the underlying reality.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Commenting on this verse the Thakura writes this knowledge manifests in the heart that has been purified by practices such as\u00a0nama-sankirtana<\/em>. Thus it is\u00a0nama sankirtana<\/em>, thesadhana<\/em>\u00a0Sri Caitanyadeva gave to the world, that leads to the purified condition of the heart in which realization of one\u2019s prospect in\u00a0lila-seva<\/em>\u00a0manifests. The stage of\u00a0sadhana bhakti<\/em>\u00a0that corresponds with such a purified heart is\u00a0ruci<\/em>, characterized marginally by the absence of material desire,\u00a0na dhanam, na janam, na sundarim,<\/em>\u00a0. . . and principally by desire only for\u00a0bhakti<\/em>,\u00a0bhavatad bhakti ahauituki<\/em>. This is the stage of\u00a0sadhana<\/em>\u00a0in which the submission that characterizes one\u2019s disposition in\u00a0sadhana bhakti<\/em>\u00a0begins to move substantially and meaningfully in the direction of the longing that characterizesbhava-bhakti<\/em>. Remembering the phrase of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakura \u201cFirst deserve, then desire,\u201d in this\u00a0ruci<\/em>\u00a0we find spiritual desire well deserved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
