AVATAR RAHASYA



There are uncountable reasons for the descension of God.

Thus, it is pointless to say that the purpose of God’s descension is limited to a specific reason. People have given various reasons based on what appeals to them. But, I would say that the most important reason for the descension of God is only His causeless Grace. God, Who is fully satisfied within Himself, and Who isatmaram-poornkam, has nothing to gain from anyone. He cannot have any kind of desire. Thus His each and every action is only for the benefit of others. God’s nature of causelessly showering His Grace upon the souls is also well-known in the world. It is this nature which causes His descension.

It is very simple to explain how He showered His causeless Grace upon the souls in His descension as Krishn. There are rigid qualifications to enter the path of gyanor non-dualistic devotion to the impersonal aspect of God (nirakar brahm). Such a person who fulfills these qualifications is so rare that he may be only one in millions. Shankaracharya describes in his writings that without devotion to the supreme personality of God, Shree Krishn, heart can never be purified. Without purifying the heart, how could a person become qualified to enter the path ofgyan? Even if a person does become qualified, only a mere handful of such souls could actually attain liberation. Therefore, because of His nature of being causelessly Gracious, God descended in this world and, during that time, He revealed His innumerable names, virtues, and His leelas. Thus, by taking their help, uncountable sinful, mayic souls cross the ocean of maya and receive Divine love. There are examples of souls like Valmiki. He could not even repeat the name of Bhagwan Ram. So, he repeated the name backwards. Even then, through the strength of the Divine name, he became a great brahmrishi. In this context Ved Vyasji says in the Bhagwatam (1/8/35),

That because of our interaction from uncountable lifetimes with the material world, the natural inclination of the mind is towards the material world. God therefore descends in this world, and reveals the Divine environment and His Divine pastimes, which become the means of Divine attainment for uncountable souls.

Another reason for the descension of God that is even more dear to me is,

“Although the paramhansas were already absorbed in the Bliss of the impersonal aspect of Divinity, God appeared in this world in His eternal Divine form to immerse them in the Bliss of Divine love.”

There are examples of great paramhansas like Sanakadi, Janak, Shukdev and others, who abandoned their impersonal Bliss and became absorbed in the Bliss of the personal form of God. Just think, even after knowing this fact, some ignorant people still question about the eternity of the personal form of God. Had there been no descension (avatar), the followers of the path of impersonal Divinity would have loudly declared that the personal form of God does not exist.

A DIVINE PERSONALITY

"PARAM DHAN RADHA NAAM AADHAR!
JAHI SHYAM MURLI MEIN TERAT SUMIRAT BARAMBAAR!
SHREESUK TAHI PRAGAT NAHI KENHO JAANI SAAR KO SAAR!
'VYASDAS' AB PRAGAT BAKHANAT DAARI BHAAR MEIN BHAAR!!

A RASIK SAINT ,VYAS DAS,SAYS,"THE NAME OF MY RADHA RANI IS MOREPRECIOUS
THAN MY OWN LIFE".A GREAT SECRET LIES BEHIND THIS.KRISHNA IS THE SOUL OF OUR SOUL, AND RADHA IS THE SOUL OF KRISHNA.THIS IS THE REASON THAT EVEN THE SUPREME FORM OF GOD-KRISHNA WORSHIPS,ADORES AND SURRENDERS TO RADHA RANI. KRISHNA ALWAYS SINGS HER NAME IN HIS FLUTE BECAUSE RADHA IS HIS LIFE AND SOUL. SHUKDEO,WHO NARRATED THE BHAGWATAM, WISELY CONCEALED THIS PERSONAL SECRET OF KRISHNA.THE REASON WAS THAT WORSHIP OF RADHA IS ONLY FOR A SELFLESS DEVOTEE OF DIVINE LOVE. RADHA'S LOVE IS THE ABSOLUTE QUINTESSENCE OF DIVINE LOVE (WHEREAS DIVINE LOVE IS THE QUINTESSENCE OF DIVINE BLISS),AND RADHA'S PERSONALITY IS THE ABSOLUTE ORIGIN OF ALL THE DIVINE EXISTENCES. CONSIDERING HOW PRECIOUS SHE IS,SHUKDEO DID NOT OPENLY DESCRIBE ABOUT RADHA.
VYASDAS FURTHER SAYS,"IT DOES NOT MATTER IF SHUKDEO DID NOT DESCRIBE MUCH ABOUT RADHA IN THE BHAGWATAM.BUT ,I M NOW DESCRIBING HER ALL-GREATNESS."
WE FIND THAT THE WRITINGS OF THE RASIK SAINTS OF BRAJ ARE OF THE GREATEST IMPORTANCE IN A DEVOTEE'S LIFE.WE KNOW ABOUT THE UNSURPASSING LOVING CHARM OF RADHA KRISHNA AND THEIR LEELAS MAINLY THROUGH THEIR WRITINGS.HOW MUCH THEY HAVE GRACED US IS BEYOND OUR IMAGINATION.

IMPORTANCE OF RUPHDHYANA












THERE ARE JUST TWO AREAS-SHREE KRISHNA AND THE MATERIAL WORLD.THE MIND ALONE IS THE PERFORMER OF ALL GOOD AND THE BAD ACTIONS.IF THE MIND IS ATTACHED TO SHREE KRISHNA,WE WILL ATTAIN DIVINE KNOWLEDGE AND THE DIVINE BLISS.IF OUR MIND REMAINS ATTACHED TO THE MATERIAL WORLD,WE WILL CONTINUE TO SUFFER IN IGNORANCE AND MISERY.
THEREFORE,WE SHOULD ALWAYS PRACTISE DETACHING OUR MIND FROM THE WORLD, AND ATTACHING IT TO SHREE KRISHNA ALONE.FOR THIS, RUPHDHYANA, LOVING REMEMBERANCE OF SHREE RADHA KRISHNA IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL. ATTENTIVELY LISTEN TO THE DIVINE WORDS OF YOUR GURU,STRICTLY FOLLOW HIS INSTRUCTIONS AND ENGAGE YOURSELF IN DEVOTIONAL CHANTING, SANKIRTANA.

ALWAYS FEEL THE PRESENCE OF SHREE KRISHNA AND YOUR GURU WITH YOU!AVOID COMMITTING SPIRITUAL TRANSGRESSIONS (NAAMAPARADH).

ROOPHDHYAN-THE LOVING REMEMBERANCE

In KALIYUG,SANKIRTANA,or chanting of the divine name,has been prescribed as the only means to attain GOD.Even if we do accept that there are other spiritual practices to attain GOD,it would not be wise to practise those various difficult processes as SANKIRTANA is the easiest process to take us to our goal.
However,the most important part of sankirtana is RUPHDHYANA,loving rememberance .Without ruphdhyana,sankirtana is like a body without a soul.KALI YUGA is a dreadful age in which the sinful tendencies of an individual combined with the external environment cause man's SPIRITUAL DOWNFALL.The only way to be free from this is to sing the glories of SHREE RADHA KRISHNA'S names,forms and pastimes,along with practising RUPHDHYANA and shedding tears of longing for THEIR DIVINE VISION AND DIVINE LOVE.If a sadhaka does'nt practise ruphdhyana while engaged in sankirtana,he will eventually doubt even the words of the scriptures because he will think that even after practising sankirtana for a long time his SINFUL TENDENCIES have not been eliminated.Therefore,we can benefit from sankirtana only when we give full importance to ruphdhyana.

GOSWAMI TULSI DAAS JI kehte hai"JAASU NAAM SUMIRAT EK BARA" .Ek baar naam lena parayapt hai,keval ek baar.Lekin dekha jai to ek baar bhi BHAGWAAN ka naam lene ki bhi koi avashyakta nahi hai.Keval BUDDHI mein,MANN mein NISCHAY kar lena hai bas,kaam ban jayega.Mukh se,jabaan se koi naam lene ki bhi jarurat nahi hai. NAAM MEIN HAI SARVYA SHAKTI GOIVIND RADHEY! DUDARVAWASH VISHVAAS NAA BATA DE!!

NAAM MAHIMA DWARA NAAM SANKIRTAN



GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU says"BOHU JANM KARE YADI SHRAVAN KIRTAN, TABHU NAA PAYE KRISHN PAD PREM DHAN".HE says that even if we chant the name of HARI(KRISHNA) for infinite times and in infinite births,it would'nt serve any purpose if we do not realize the importance of HARI naam properly.It means that we should first realize the importance of HARI NAAM properly and then perform NAAM SANKIRTAN.By doing so we would attain our desired goal in this human life and free ourself from the bondage of endless cycles of life and death and get KRISHN PAD PREM DHAN which is the ultimate gift of selfless love. GAURANGA MAHAPRABHU furthur says that without realizing the importance of any thing ,its not possible to derive the pleasure from that thing in practical and thats what had happened with us in earlier life.That is why it is very very important that at the time of chanting the divine name of KRISHNA we should not forget HIS importance in our life .We should always remember HIS name,form,divine pastimes,quality,divine abodes and saints.
