Shri Yamunāji - The Chief Queen of Shri Krishna and Pushti Shakti


This is more than brilliant excerpt from "BRAJ BHOOMI MOHINI" - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2014/07/braj-bhoomi-mohini-english-edition.html

We have already mentioned that Gokul has continued to remain  the place of reverence and worship for the followers of Pushti sect. 

Shri  Yamunāji was the first to give information to Shrimanmahāprabhu (Shree Shreeman Prabhu Vallabha Acharya) - Madhuvaniya ji  about the sites by appearing to him in person. 

Although Yamunāji is revered in all the sects, but in Pushti  sect she is more than just an ordinary body of water. 
Her importance  lies in her capability to provide the darshan of Shri Krishna to the  devotees. 
Āchārya Mahāprabhu has said in the first shloka of "Shri  Yamunāshataka"

नमामि यमुनामहं सकल सिद्धि हेतुं मुदा । 
मुरारि पदपङ्कजस्फुरदमद रेणूत्कटां । । 

namAmi yamunAmahaM sakala siddhi hetuM mudA | 
murAri padapa~Nkajasphuradamada reNUtkaTAM | | 

तटस्थ नवकानन प्रकट मोद पुष्पाम्बुना । 
सुरासुर सुपूजित स्मरपितुः श्रियं विभ्रतीम् । । 

taTastha navakAnana prakaTa moda puShpAmbunA | 
surAsura supUjita smarapituH shriyaM vibhratIm | | 

TRANSLATION: "(Body useful for the service of the Lord) The cause of all the siddhis, filled with  the continuous dropping of the nectar like bright sand particles from the lotus feet of  Murāri ( Shri Krishna), with the water and the manifest joy of the green forests at its  bank in the form of flowers , and having the beauty of Shri Krishna, the father of Kāmdev  ( Pradyumna) who is worshipped by all Sura-Asura, I joyfully bow to that Yamunā".

Yamunāji is called ‘Sakala Siddhi Hetu’, meaning the one who can fulfill all kinds of wishes. 
These wishes or  siddhis are not the  petty worldly siddhis but such siddhis that help in attaining a divine body that is useful for service and necessary for the attainment of Shri Krishna, siddhis that help in perceiving the Leelās of the Lord,  in experiencing and tasting the rasa thereby nourishing and sustaining  the sādhaka. 
Siddhis that let us drink the nectar flowing from the lotus feet of Shri Krishna, that flood us with its sweetness and give  us absorption. 

They enable us to taste and perceive the Leelās taking  place in the forest groves at her banks between PriyāShri Rādhāand  Her bodily manifestations, the gopis and Priyatam Shyām Sundar and  even enable us to gain admission in those Leelās. 
Yamunāji in Pushti sect is The Deity to be served, as The Chief  Queen of Shri Krishna and as Pushti Shakti, She is venerable and  worshipable by all.
She is considered as “Krishna Turya Priyā”. She is virājmān as The Fourth Chief Queen in Dwārakā and even in Braj bhāv She is  accepted as the Fourth Mistress amongst the Beloveds of Shri Krishna  because He sports at Her beautiful banks and immerses in Her waters.  

To propitiate Shyām Sundar She assumes His Beautiful Form. 

Shyām  Sundar said to Priyāji once, “Darling! Whenever you assume mān and  sulk, it takes a lot of effort to appease you.” 

Priyāji said naturally, “Beloved you assume mān and I will appease you. I want to experience  the bliss of doing so.” 

Shyām Sundar assumed mān and went and sat  in a nikunja. 

Shri Rādhā tried all Her means to appease and mollify  Him but to no avail.

Even Shri Lalitā, Vishākhā and other Sakhis tried  but weren’t successful. 

When Shri Yamunāji assumed the form of  Shyām Sundar and went before Him, He broke into laughter and was  placated. 

Priyāji embraced Shri Yamunāji and gave Her the boon that  henceforth She will be worshipped in this form and for this reason.  

Therefore Yamunāji is virājmān in this form and guides the sādhakas of Pushti sect even today. 

Govind ghāt is next to Thakurāni ghāt.

What can be better than emotional, girlish excerpts with songs riffs like "सुनो दिलजानी, मेरे दिल की कहानी तुम्"?


Do you remember the Story of The Muslim Princess, falling in Love with Bhagavan Shree Ranganatha from this post  - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2013/11/tulukka-nacciyar-muslim-princess-who.html

This was the Story of Our Shree Ramanuja-Sampradaya. 

The same Story exists in Shree Vallabha Sampradaya (I may mistake here as I cite from "BRAJ BHOOMI MOHINI" again which is of Pushti Marg origin, but the Story itself can belong to Haridas-Sakhi or other Ragamarg Sampradaya). 

LISTEN:

इन मुसलमान् हरिजनन पै कोटिक हिन्दु वारिये 

ina musalamAn harijanana pai koTika hindu vAriye 

Devotion is the subject matter of heart. Though community and  caste are important, yet devotion cannot be bound by such limitations.  

Many Muslims and sādhakasof other castes have more than proved  themselves in the test of devotion. History is a witness to this fact.  
Whoever has the emotion, the attachment of the heart and the deep  love for the Beloved naturally, they have been called the intimate  devotees of the Lord.
The two sisters Hameedā-Haseenā, Raskhān, Ali Khān and Bhaktimati Tāj in spite of being Muslims remained absorbed in loving  Sri Krishna intensely, exclusively and relished the sweet nectar of His  Leelās.

Bhaktimati Tāj Story. 

Bhaktimati Tāj belonged to the Mogul royal family, this fact  is indisputable. One day she asked the Muslim religious heads and  priests, “Is it possible to see God?” 

After getting a reply in affirmative,  she started for ‘KābāShareef’. On the way they camped at Mathurā.  On hearing the sound of the bells and the loud sounds of chanting of  the names of the Lord, she asked the people who were accompanying  her what that was. The court minister told her that the smaller god  of Hindus lived there and they were praying to Him. 

Tāj decided to  proceed only after seeing the smaller god. The Muslim priest tried to  desist her from doing so, but she remained resolute.

Just as she was about to step in the Temple for the darshan of the Lord, the Hindu priest forbade her from entering saying that she  was not a Hindu. 

The yearning borne out of love is not subject to any confinement. 

Reciprocating her intense desire for His darshan, Shri  Thākur ji also became impatient to meet His devotee. 

Becoming restless and impatient, Tāj started singing -

सुनो दिलजानी, मेरे दिल की कहानी तुम्, 
हुस्न की बिकानी, बदनामी भी सहूँगी मैं । 

suno dilajAnI, mere dila kI kahAnI tum, 
husna kI bikAnI, badanAmI bhI sahU.NgI maiM | 

देवपूजा ठानी, मै निमाज हूँ भुलानी, 
तजे कलमाकुरान, तेरे गुनन गहुँगी मैं । 

devapUjA ThAnI, mai nimAja hU.N bhulAnI, 
taje kalamAkurAna, tere gunana gahu.NgI maiM | 

Unable to withstand the intensely poignant call of her love,  attracted by her total surrender and moved by the intense pangs felt by  her, Nandanandan without delaying any further went over to Tāj.

She  was captivated by the beautiful form of the Lord, her voice resonated-

सांवरा सलौना सरताज सर कुल्हेदार, 
तेरे नेह दाद्म में निदाद्म ह्वै रहूँगी मैं । 

sAMvarA salaunA saratAja sara kulhedAra, 
tere neha dAdma meM nidAdma hvai rahU.NgI maiM | 

नन्द के फरजन्द कुर्बान ताणी सूरत पै, 
हूँ तो मुगलानी हिन्दवानी ह्वै रहूँगी मैं । 

nanda ke pharajanda kurbAna tANI sUrata pai, 
hU.N to mugalAnI hindavAnI hvai rahU.NgI maiM | 

Shri Krishna gave darshan to Tāj and she felt blessed. She gave  up her religion and became a Hindu deciding to stay in Braj to serve  Shri Krishna.

She was embraced by the Lord. Tāj became immortal  forever.

She wandered in the streets of Gokul absorbed in the blissful  beauty of Shri Krishna.

This site called Tāj Ki Chhatari (umbrella) surrounded by small  trees near Raskhān Teelāis giving the whereabouts of that very love  story.

There are a few who believe that the raised platform where Tāj  used to do her prayers is in Jatipurā.

English annotation by Vishnudut1926 (written in 2014):

It is a gift of Shreemati Lalita Maha Tripura Sundari Devi that we can read this Highest Book in English. 

The Commentaries of Shriman Bhaskararaya are very extensive and touch the Highest Siddhantic Strings. 

A number of Vaishnava Pramans are being cited - "Shree Vishnu Purana", "Shree Lakshmi-Tantra", "HariVamsha"...

I have no time to write the extensive annotation now, but this year I will cite from This MahaGrantha very often. 


It is the Book in Which I have made the most extensive number of notes to remember and learn in my life!!! So if I write annotation, it would be about half of The Book (that is around 200 pages)...


When you read, try to understand NOT EARTHY GENIUS of Shriman Bhaskararaya, as he cites not only from Shakta, Shaiva, Upanishadic and other Vaidik Sources, but from Vaishnava Pancharatra and Vaishnava Granthas too...


An ordinary human could not write such MahaGrantha...

Mayura Sarowara - The Favourite Lake of Shreemati Chitra Gopi



THE VERY BEAUTIFUL EXCERPT FROM "BRAJ BHOOMI MOHINI" - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2014/07/braj-bhoomi-mohini-english-edition.html

मयुरक्रीडिने तुभ्यं चित्रलेखे नमोऽस्तु ते ।
त्रैलोक्यपदमोक्षाय मयुरसरसे नमः ।।


बृहन्नारदीय पुराण


mayurakrIDine tubhyaM chitralekhe namo.astu te | 
trailokyapadamokShAya mayurasarase namaH || 


bRRihannAradIya purANa 


TRANSLATION: "Fond of sporting with peacocks! O Chitraleikhei! Obeisance to you.  Giver of the pada of all three worlds and the giver of liberation, O Mayur sarowar! Obeisance to you". 

COMMENTARY: "Mayur Kridā (sporting with peacocks) is especially dear to Shri Chitrā  ji. She comes  here  every  day.  

Herds  and  herds  of  peacocks spontaneously assemble here. Shri Chitrā ji feeds them. At times the peacocks encircle her. 

At such times Priyā-Priyatam also arrive there swaying and sashaying. The peacocks welcome them expressing their emotions  by  making  sounds  of  joy. 

Absorbed  in  dance  they  come close to Priyā ji some times and sometimes getting the proximity of Priyatam, they become overjoyed and elated and become engrossed in  dancing.  

Shri  Chitrā  ji  also  becomes  ecstatic  and  thrilled  at  her fortune. She gets suffused with rasa beholding the beautiful form of Priyatam surrounded by peacocks.  

And the rasa crazy Yugal seeing the dance of the peacocks, make this site more and more beautiful with their own rasaful endeavors. 

Knower of the secrets of all these keli, this site receiving these Leelās as gift has preserved them in order to distribute them amongst the devotees. 

Mayur sarowar is near Deha Kund".

I have been searching for The Image of Shreemati Chitralekha Gopi, but found this Image. Surprisingly in the light of the fact I have been writing about the Tantric Paddhati of Chaitanya Sampradaya earlier (here).

In Chaitanya Tantric Tradition This Lotus should be meditated on by Rasika Bhaktas. Some naive people (usually beginners), reckoning themselves to be highly advanced try to burst into Gaudiya Tradition by meditating on Ashta-Kaliya Lila and etc.

In grim reality, before meditating on Ashta-Kaliya Lila they must do a lot of Manasa-Seva to Chief Manjaris and Gopis.

And the meditation on the Lotus (with Mantras) is one of the Angas of such Manasa-Seva.

DOWNLOAD (ENGLISH):

I don't remember where I have found this Book. 

This is Raganuga-Bhakti-oriented Book with the emphasis on Vrindavan' Spiritual Geography. It contains a lot of rare Rasika Stories. 

If you belong to Raganuga-Sampradays (Pushti-Marg, Rupanuga, Haridas-sakhi and etc) DON'T MISS. 

From English Exordia: 

"This book with its descriptions of the greatness of Braj, of the favourite Leelā sites of Braj Bihāri Yugal, of their pastimes and sports, of the Rasikas of these pastimes, of the environment and the Nature of Braj is an unprecedented guide in our spiritual journey. 

In this book, contextual corroborations from many Sanskrit, Hindi, Braj  bhāshā  and  Bengāli  books  have been  included.  This  composition has  proved  to  be  extremely  useful  in  the  circumambulation  of  Braj. 

The author composed this extremely useful book after travelling to many of the sites, by asking and inquiring, by taking proofs from the books, by collecting material certified by the saints and the great ones.  

For the ease of the readers, the book has been divided into several chapters so that a thorough knowledge of the sites  of Braj can be had. Th  ese chapters are Mathurā , Gokul, Girirāj,  Kāmvan, Barsānā, Nandgāon and Shri Vrindāvan Dham".

Tantric Paddhati of Chaitanya Sampradaya

As for ""Shree Krishna Yamalam MahaTantram" (uploaded by me in this post and mentioned in this post) in Hindi Exordia it is stated that this is The Book of Chaitanya Sampradaya, the kind of Tantric Paddhati of Chaitanya Sampradaya!
Strange, as I know The Granthas of Chaitanya Sampradaya very well, but I never heard of "Shree Krishna Yamalam MahaTantram", though in Chaitanya Sampradya "Shree Vishnu Yamalam Tantra" and "Shree Rudra Yamalam Tantra" are being cited sometimes. 
As for The Tantric Part of Chaitanya Sampradaya, "Shree Brahma-Samhita" and "Shree Hari-Bhakti-Vilasa" are the Primary Granthas. They also have Paddhati, I can't name the Book, as it is the part of their hidden Siddhanta (nothing esoteric and occult here, just the Paddhati with Mantras, Gayatris and Dhyanas, but as All the Tantric Granthas it must be kept hidden from non-deserving people and 99% of "people" in Kali-Yuga are non-deserving, truly speaking). 

So, as for the Tantric Paddhati of Chaitanya Sampradaya, it is well hidden and usually designated only for the best shishyas! I know it partially: a lot of Superb Mantras and Dhyanas, though I never had Ruci for Them. 

The Most crucial part in Gaudiya Tantric Tradition is GOPALA MANTRAS. So don't be deceived by "Hare Krishna Mantra" chanting, Gaudiya Sampradaya is not so simple, they have Tantric Paddhati and much more Advanced Mantras...

It is also stated in Hindi Exordia, that "Shree Krishna Yamalam MahaTantram" is influenced by "Shree Brahma Vaivarta-Purana" and by "Shreemad Devi Bhagavatam" ("Shree Devi Bhagavata Purana"). No wonder here, as Bhagavan Shree Krishna and Shreemati Radharani Devi are The Heroes of Both The Puranas (though in much, much, much lesser extent in "Shree Devi Bhagavata Purana"). 

I have no time for looking through the Hindi Exordia further now and I need to study both Exordia and Sanskrit Text in more accurate manner. 

And after this I will write the synopsis (it will take about 2-3 years, HEHEHEHE!!!!, as I have the very enormous digital warehouse of Bhakti Books in Hindi and English - 32GB SDHC running out of space - and this Tantra is the last in the list, that is not very interesting to me). 

But if someone is initiated in Chaitanya Tradition, he will surely study "Shree Krishna Yamalam MahaTantram"!

"Krama Dipika" - Vaishnava Agama with Gopala Mantra Glosses and Clarifications, Sanskrit, Srirangar 1929


DOWNLOAD (Sanskrit with English Exordia):

YandexDisk  Cubby  Box  Dropbox  

Bitcasa  GoogleDrive  Skydrive  Copy

FROM ENGLISH EXORDIA:

"Krama Dipika" or "light on the path " is a Vaishnava Tantra, Gopala-Vishnu being The Presiding Deity. 

The Krama "path" is The Worship of the Supreme Being herein termed Bala-Gopala, as enjoined and described in the text. 

The author nowhere mentions his own name though in the 13th verse of the last Chapter, he states:

"Dipikeyam mayodbhashyate kramatah Krishna-mantra-gaditanam",

but no name follows the personal pronoun "maya".

It claims that the Gopala mantra is much more efficacious than all other mantras, in as much as the latter rarely become fruitful and always require that the sadhaka should necessarily belong to one of the four Varnas and Ashramas, while the Gopala Mantra never fails in its effect nor imposes any limitations of Caste or Ashrama on the worshipper.

The most scary moment in All The Devotional Literature (the shock of the Maiden-Servants)


I am reading "Shree Lalitopakhyanam" (I will upload E-BOOK later) and the most scary moment in all The Devotional Literature is when Shreemati Sati-Devi is leaving The Body through the Ashtanga-Yoga and all Her Maidens plunge in the state of shock and despair.
I nearly fainted when I have been reading the scene. Imagine this scary state of losing THE MOST PRECIOUS PERSON in a flash.
To lose The Most Adorable Goddess in the world, you have served to, you have been amusing with jokes, you have been dressing up and was proud of being the part of Her Retinue!!!!!

Such a terrible shock is this!!!!!!!!!!!!

The scene is very scary and emotional, though everybody knew that Shreemati Sati-Devi would be borne as Shreemati Parvati-Devi (and The Maidens were reborn in Himalays with Her too). 

As if to emphasize the terrible shock of the scene, the shock of the Maidens-Servants is described further, when They have to return to Bhagavan Shiva and to tell Him the terrible news:
"When the spouse of Shiva, Satidevi, consumed Her Body in the flame born of Yoqa and rose up in the form of a Jyoti and vanished into the sky in the direction of the Himalayas, Her Devoted Hand-Maids and the many pramadhaganas*** and chiefs who had accompanied Her to Daksha's place, left the Yagna-sala (place of sacrifice) in haste and returned to Kailash with the empty chariot of Sati Devi, but they had not the courage to break the terrible news to Shankara. 
***Annotation by Vishnudut1926: प्रमदा - pramadA - young woman ("pramadAgana" in this case mean the "the host or the family of  the young maiden-servants") 
With grief-laden hearts and tears streaming down their cheeks, broken-hearted and unable to utter words through sob-choked throats these Maidens stood before their Lord who, already divining the nature of the news, pressed them to speak out without any fear.
With halting speech their words interrupted by uncontrollable sobs, They managed to relate the entire sequence of what had taken place at Daksha's Yagna-sala, ending with the most unhappy but miraculous and wonderfully instantaneous incineration of Sati Devi's Exquisitely Beautiful Body which vanished in a flash of flame without leaving even a trace of ash behind".
But actually there is nothing spooky about this scene for Maiden-Servants of Shreemati Parvati-Devi as All of Them are Mukta-Jivas free from sufferings, death and rebirth and the scene with Shreemati Sati-Devi burning Her Body was the part of The Lila:
"As years piled upon years and the stream of time flowed on, Shreemati Parvati-Devi Girlhood passed and, in its place, was left a Dazzlingly Beautiful Maiden, Exquisitely Formed and Delicately Celestial - far surpassing Rati Devi herself.
During al these years the Lovely Damsels who had once been Shreemati Sati Devi's Near and Dear Attendants had also taken birth among the Himalayan hills and valleys and grown up as Play-Mates of Shreemati Parvati-Devi. 
This bevy of Beauties now surrounded Shreemati Parvati-Devi and never left Her alone even for a moment.
The group resembled a cluster of variegated flowers with Queen-Lotus (Shreemati Parvati-Devi) in the centre".
Notwithstanding, the emotional effect of the scene (I mean the scene with Shreemati Sati-Devi leaving Her Body) is amazingly scary for those Bhakti-Yogs, who follow to Dasi-Bhava (Bhava of being the female servant of Adi-Shakti).

"PARASHARA BHATTA HIS CONTRIBUTION TO VISHISHTADVAITA", Dr. S. Padmanabhan, Sri Vishishtadvaita Research Centre, 1995

UPDATE from 30-April-2019: new enhanced scan had been added (optimized size 8MB + OCR-txt-layer in English)

English annotation by Vishnudut1926: This Book is superb and definitely worth of being read for the second time.

I was not very hasty in reading, because I was afraid of the Book coming to an end, leaving you with that void feeling of something finished, which you miss very much. 

Linguistically the Book is flawless, the part which is dedicated to the Literary Contribution (see CHAPTER IV - Literary Estimate of The Hymns of Parashara) is astonishingly unique and if you study Sanskrit and Devotional Poetry you will be happy to probe into the examples of upamas, rupakas, shleshas and etc. 

Don't miss the precis of "AshtaShloki", "Shree Guna Ratna Kosha" and other Granthas of Om Vishnupad Parashara Bhatta in the first Chapters. 

Though I have read my favourite "Shree Guna Ratna Kosha" in Sadagopan.org edition, I was overjoyed to find the marvelous precis of "Shree Guna Ratna Kosha" in this Book. 

The TOC has been embedded in the Book by me as usually (see the "BOOKMARKS" Menu in your PDF-reader or press "CTRL+B").

Что такое Пумштва-Виродхи? Бхагаван Шри Нараяна ждёт на Вайкунтхе только девушек...


###Данная статья тематически 
относится к циклу статей о 
Шри МахаЛакшми-Сампрадае, 
смотрите рубрикатор - 

Миллион лет я не печатала русских переводов. 

В Шри Рамануджа-Сампрадайе существует очень обширное описание препятствий на пути Прапатти. 

Все эти препятствия изложены в Книге "Virodhi Parihaarangal or Removal of Obstacles" related by Udaiyavar Ramanujar to SriVangipurattuNambi" - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2014/02/virodhi-parihaarangal-or-removal-of.html

В Шри Рамануджа-Сампрадайе существует такое понятие как "Пумштва-Виродхи" (पुंस्त्व विरोधी). Если переводить довольно-таки коряво, то это "нежелание признавать девчачью природу души". 
Почти все Вайшнава-Сампрадайи исходят из идеи о том, что Бхагаван Шри Нараяна является Единственным Мужчиной в Духовном Мире (на Вайкунтхе), а дживы всего лишь являются Его девушками-служанками (рабынями) или выражаясь более технически, все дживы относятся к ЧИТ-ШАКТИ (ЧИТ-ШАКТИ является подчинённой Энергией Бхагавана Шри Нараяны). 
В Кали-Югу почти все Вайшнава-Сампрадайи следуют именно Гопи-Бхаве и говорят о том, что природа души - это быть девушкой Кришны. 

В ответ на это некоторые глуповатые "пандиты" иногда приводят цитату не помню из какой Упанишады о том, что у души вообще нет пола, но в данном случае Вайшнавы, естественно, не принимают Авторитет Упанишад, а опираются на собственные Агамы и Самхиты, которые говорят о том, джива относится к ЧИТ-ШАКТИ, то есть является девушкой по своей природе. 

"Пумштва-Виродхи" (पुंस्त्व विरोधी) часто встречается среди очень слабых бхактов, которые только начинают свой духовный путь, и которым начинает казаться, что они то мальчики-пастушки на Голоке, то вишнудуты на Вайкунтхе и т.п.

Об этом препятствии очень важно знать, чтобы быстро избавиться от него и продвигаться дальше. 

Таким образом, все дживы - девушки.

Далее - мой перевод соответствующей подглавы из книги "Virodhi Parihaarangal" - http://goo.gl/LMOh3V

"Пумштва-Виродхи". К препятствиям данной группы относятся следующие:

1) Считать себя мужчиной, не понимая при этом, что только Бхагаван Шри Нараяна (Пурушоттама), Ваханой Которого является Гаруда, является Мужчиной, тогда как все остальные являются девушками-служанками (рабынями) Бхагавана Шри Нараяны. 

2) Считать Брахму и Рудру мужчинами только потому, что они находятся в мужских телах. 

3) Не понимать, что женственность, которая является противоположностью Маскулинности Бхагавана Шри Нараяны, является единственно возможным призванием дживы. 

4) Не понимать, что понятие "мужчина" принадлежит лишь к телу и является временным обличьем в сансаре.

5) Не понимать, что как мужские, так и женские формы, которые джива принимает во время своих бесконечных рождений в сансаре, являются лишь временными формами и не имеют ничего общего с женственной природой дживы. 
6) Не понимать, что единственно истинной и вечной формой дживы является форма девушки, которая полностью влюблена в Бхагавана Шри Нараяну и абсолютна покорна Бхагавану Шри Нараяне. 
7) Считать себя мужчиной, который якобы независим, даже после того Гуру рассказал о том, что все дживы по природе девушки, которые абсолютно покорны (पारतन्त्र्य - pAratantrya) Бхагавану Шри Нараяне. 

Примечание переводчика: Ом Вишнупад Мадхва-Ачарья сделал одним из ключевых пунктов в своей Сиддханте (Двайта-Сиддханта) разделение на "Сватантру" и "паратантру". 

Бхагаван Шри Нараяна - "Сватантра" (स्वतन्त्र - svatantra), то есть полностью Независимый ни от кого Верховный Господь. 

Все дживы - "паратантра" (परतन्त्र - paratantra), полностью зависимые от Бхагавана Шри Нараяны девушки. 

8) Искать себе женщину после посвящения в тайну о том, что все дживы являются девушками Господа Кришны. 

9) Не осознавать, что все дживы являются девушками (परस्त्री - parastrI) Бхагавана Шри Нараяны. 

10) Не понимать, что муж, жена, а также все члены семьи являются лишь девушками-рабынями Бхагавана Шри Вишну (Бхагавана ШриПати, т.е. Мужа Верховной Богини Шримати Лакшми-Деви). 
11) Если кто-то считает, что он может служить Бхагавану Шри Нараяне в мужском обличье, то это - тоже очень серьёзное препятствие. 
12) Если кто-то считает себя девушкой-рабыней Верховного Господа Шри Нараяны, но при этом полностью не подчиняется всем Его Прихотям и Капризам - то это тоже очень серьёзное препятствие. 

13) Вспоминать о том, что ты - мужчина, это тоже препятствие. 

14) Как известно все Альвары были мужчинами, но при этом сочиняли почти все Свои Гимны в настроении девушек, которые жадно желают Любви с Бхагаваном Шри Нараяной. 

Все Альвары ненавидели свои мужские тела и мечтали лишь о телах девушек-рабынь, которые могли бы служить Возлюбленному Господу Кришне. 

Незнание этого также является огромным препятствием на пути Бхакти.


UPDATE от 06/10/2014: Смотрите статью о том, что только избранные Бхагаваном Шри Нараяной дживы могут стать Гопиками и том, будущие Гопики ни в коем случае не могут страдать здесь - http://vishnudut1926.blogspot.ru/2014/10/blog-post_6.html

What Kind of Tantra is this?


I have found this Tantra on scribd today, but never in my life I have heard about the existence of such Tantra.

The Name of the Tantra is "Shri Krishna Yamalam Mahatantram" - http://ru.scribd.com/doc/202471680/Shri-Krishna-Yamalam-Mahatantram-Shitala-Prasad-Upadhyaya

My Sanskrit is rather slow, so I have no time to decipher the Book right now, but I will rip it off from scribd and add to my library later.

Images of Shreemati Durga-Devi (Shreemati Parvati-Devi) - 15 recovered Images

I was very eagerly searching for the Image of Shreemati Parvati-Devi and found It!!!

But the quality was not very good - the Image was too pale and of bad jpeg-quality. 

So, I have recovered This Image in Photoshop, applying various filtres. 

Below all the Images, see the copies on flickr, box and dropbox

It is the original which was needed to be recovered.
