Nanna's Words

Brindvaneswari Sri Radha


Sakhi emerged from Radha! I am holding Mother only. Mine is a firm grip. I surrender all the powers that I attain due to incessant dhyana at Mother's holy feet. She uses those powers through me for the welfare of mankind. Mother's plays are infinite and amazing. Radhaji's plays are visible but She is invisible. Mother is my Guru. She grants me a distinct message through each divine play. I make a note of those messages. I cannot think of Mother without weeping. That is my life.

What is present beyond desires and pleasures of the mind? That (tattwa) is very profound. That's why I don't understand how to describe Mother. Don't limit Mother. It is a mistake to limit Her.

Krishna's tattwa is dharma; Radha's tattwa is Rasa. It is foolishness to think that the two conflicting and opposing tattwas can unite as Radha and Krishna? Krishna's only duty is to serve Radha. He is the only Mahatma who taught the world about the greatest principle - Service (Seva ).

My life itself is a spiritual practice (sadhana). Radhaji took a form only to teach us this practice. Mother's mantra and Mother's name - both are one and same. She is infinite and formless. At the same time, She is present in the form too! This tattwa of Her form is very subtle. The purpose of japa and tapa (chanting name and doing penance) is only to purify the mind which is contaminated by worldly matters. Meditation is the only way to reach Mother.

In Sri Radha meditation, name is linked to bhava. This meditation is made up of three elements - incessant name, silence and contemplation on the all-pervading Mother. While I am speaking to you this moment, I am filled with Mother's bhava. I am even unable to speak. You also must attain such a state. It is possible only through incessant dhyana. Unless you become detached from worldly pleasures, you will not develop yearning for Mother. Unless you develop that yearning, you cannot reach Her. That is the order. Knowledge of tattwa is of no use; it must be understood and experienced.

I am striving only for the well being of man. I will live as long as the Sun and the Moon exist. Mother will keep me on earth as long as She wishes. Even Brahma cannot stop Her. So my life is a mystery. Radha is the origin of power. Sakhi's duty is to spread the sweetness of Her Rasa. Sakhi grants Rasa to man. It is my duty to do what pleases Her. That is the purpose of my coming to this world. Mother is within my body.

We must attain bhava, not limit to the physical form. Sakhi cannot live away from the bhava roopa of Mother. Sakhi's abode is 'Para'. That is their brahmacharya (vow of chastity).

Mother is not present in any shrine, holy place or river. If you surrender to Her, She is within your heart.
