Check yourselves, using "Shree Brahmanda-Purana", Girls!!!!!!!!
I hope, my blog is being attended only by Gopis.
I am so glad to see myself (that is Gopi) among Uttama-Bhaktas...
The following passage is a part of the very Siddhantic Story from "Shree Brahmanda-Purana", which dwells...hold your breath here...on 10-Syllable Mantra of Bhagavan Shree Krishna!!!!!!
In short, the story goes like this:
Bhagavan Shree Parashurama had been initiated into 10-Syllable Krishna-Mantra and Krishna-Kavacha (yes, together, remember, what I have engrossed about non-effectiveness of Mantra without Kavacha and vice versa in this article).
In spite of the initiation, Bhagavan Shree Parashurama had failed to master the 10-Syllable Mantra of Bhagavan Shree Krishna, as He belonged only to Madhyama-Type of Bhaktas.
Sounds appalling, is not it? Yes, but Bhagavan Shree Parashurama had been saved by "Shree Krishna Prema Amrita" Hymn, which had promoted Him to The Highest Plane of Bhakti.
I wrote about the Parashurama Sadhana in the headline, but not in the sense of Worshipping Bhagavan Shree Parashurama, but in the sense of repeating His Sadhana.
So, the Sadhana of Bhagavan Shree Parashurama from "Shree Brahmanda-Purana" was the following:
1) 10-Syllable Krishna-Mantra (granted to Bhagavan Shree Parashurama by Shiva)
2) "Shree Krishna Trailokya Vijaya-Kavacha" (granted by Shiva too)
3) "Shree Krishna Prema Amrita" Hymn (actually, not the Hymn, but the Namavali from 108 Names of Bhagavan Shree Krishna, granted to Bhagavan Shree Parashurama by Om VishnuPad Agastya-Muni)
If you know Sanskrit, you can refer to the Sanskrit Variant of "Shree Brahmanda-Purana" and repeat this Sadhana!!!
At least, even if you are a Gopi with a balanced Sadhana, which you don't want to change, "Shree Krishna Prema Amrita" Hymn is definitely worth of being absorbed into your Sadhana, as it is very Beautiful and Krishna Likes It.
"Shree Brahmanda-Purana", Section 03 "UPODGHATAPADA", Chapter 34 (page 664 in the English 2002 Edition of "Shree Brahmanda-Purana" by Motilal Banasirdass - LINK TO THE BOOK)
The Quality of Bhakti (Love of God) is considered to be Threefold :
2.34.38-40a. The 3 Types of Devotion are:
1. Uttama (The Highest)
2. Madhyama (The Middle) and
3. Kanistha (The Lowest). O lady of tremulous eyes.
The Devotion of the Following Persons is of the Highest Type (UTTAMA):
Shiva,
Narada,
Noble-Souled Shuka,
Saintly King Ambarisha,
Rantideva,
Maruti (i.e. Hanuman),
Bali,
Vibhishana,
Noble-Souled Prahlada,
Gopis (Cowherdesses of Vrindavana) and
Uddhava
2.34.40b-42a. The Devotion of the middle type, О lady of splendid eyes, is that of the leading sages such as Vasistha and others, as well as Manu and others.
In regard to other people, it is of the lowest type.
Rama (Bhagavan Shree Parashurama) has only this middle type of Devotion, though He is always devoted to the control of all sense-organs and Worships The Lord of Gopis (Cowherdesses). Hence, he has not realized the Mantra.”
NOW, "Shree Krishna Prema Amrita" Hymn, it needs deciphering and double-check with The Sanskrit Variant (it is page 677 in the above-mentioned edition):
