12.12.2002, Guntur ashram

Nanna discussed how he planned to propagate Radha tattwa all over India.


" We shall visit every village in India. Prior to our visit, we must distribute pamphlets containing the matter that we wish to convey to them. We must clearly mention that we are not interested in money. The chief and elders of the village will assemble in one place. We will explain to them about Mother and leave the village. It will be easy for us if they know the purpose of our visit in advance. Then we will also hand over the books that we shall carry with us. "


" This visit will materialize soon after the book is printed. It must be ready before the idol installation ceremony. It should be translated into four languages. That work is still pending. Soon after Mother's idol is installed in the ashram, the pamphlets and books shall be distributed. We shall leave once the books are ready. The book will contain a lot of matter and all significant points. That will make us feel that 'this is the only path that we must follow'. When we go there, people will literally plead with us to explain in detail. "


'Nanna, will you tell us how the pamphlet must be written?'


" I have matter ready for 4-5 pages. I will write it. We must translate the English version into tamil. We must not go to Tamilnadu without literature. The script is ready in telugu. It must be translated into hindi also. "


'Nanna, we need an English version also!'


" I shall write in English. "


'It will be good if you only write in English because many people follow English'


" I will write in English with the required style. First the telugu pamphlet must be finalized. We can manage to complete the telugu, hindi and English scripts. All this should have been done long ago. We must move in a systematic and scientific manner. That is the correct way to do Her propaganda. We will distribute only small books to start with. Later we will distribute the big volumes. They will join also Mother's family. This is how we must proceed. We must conquer the whole of India. We cannot succeed unless we have the paraphernalia - books with us. Everybody must read the book. We must re visit the places after 15 days on our way back. By this time the people would have read the books and we will have a good reception. They will warmly receive us without fail and discuss their thoughts. That would be constructive for us. We must not be hasty and do things in an unsystematic way. "


Nanna, the repository of rasa tattwa explained how to propagate Her tattwa. He chalked out a systematic plan of initially introducing Sri Radha tattwa to the people and gradually let them have a taste of Her rasa through books. Sri Radha will ensure that all his plans are implemented.

Later, he spoke about the book I proposed to write on sakhi tattwa :


" Sakhi has some unique qualities: "


" 1. Bhaktanugrahakatara (eager to bless Her devotees). Radhaji is always in readiness to protect Her devotees who are in some trouble. Sakhi also has this same quality as Mother. "


" 2. Sakhi will never ask anybody for anything, not even Mother although it is for Her work! "


" 3. Sakhi has the power of superimposition. The trees weep as the sakhi passes by them. The bhava of sakhi is superimposed on everything. "


" 4. Sakhi is beyond the three gunas and has bhava deha. They are always serving mother in this state. "


" 5. Sakhi is nearest and dearest to Radhaji. She is so fond of Her sakhis that She never refuses their words. "


" 6. Sakhi has only one desire 'I want mother'. That desire increases every moment. "


" 7. The desire to have mother reaches supreme magnitude. "


" 8. Sakhi resides in Para. She is nameless and formless. That is only their chastity. "


" 9. Sakhi is above and beyond religion. "


" 10. Sakhi experiences the sweetness of Mother's love every moment. That's why she cannot live without Her. "


" These points can be elaborated to form a good book. "


'Nanna, I must attain that bhava before I can write the book..'


" You will attain the bhava. Sekhar was surprised that sakhi has so many qualities. Every sakhi has all these qualities. Mother will take only those who possess these qualities as Her sakhis. Develop these qualities in yourself. Then only Mother will accept you. I explained Her love and how a sakhi must be. With folded hands, Sekhar exclaimed that it is very difficult. But it is not difficult. It is very easy. Every sakhi must invariably have these qualities. "

Gunarahitham


" Sakhi must be completely devoid of the three base gunas - dareshana, dhaneshana and putreshana. When I began to do Mother's penance, I told my wife that I decided to go in Mother's path. She said she would not accompany me. I told her to stay with the children and use my pension money. I left without any money. Mother's love is very subtle. It is written somewhere that any thing She says has at least five meanings. A Mahatma in Brindavan said that every act of Her's has three connotations. Nobody can explain Her words. Once She asked me to apply oil to Her body. How many meanings that this have? "


'Only a sakhi can apply oil to Her. She indirectly told that you are Her sakhi.'


" She asked me to apply oil. Who am I? "


'She asked because you are Her sakhi'.


" Did She ask because I am Her sakhi or to make me Her sakhi? "


'If She wanted to make you a sakhi, She cannot ask what only a sakhi can do.'


" Yes. Ordinary persons cannot serve Her in that way. One must become a sakhi first. Then only She will give the oil. When She asked me to apply oil, a sort of femininity developed in me. "


" This is not desire. You must not desire for anything or anyone except Mother. I don't need anything. I got everything without asking. Somebody put a silk cushion in this chair. Till today, I don't know who did it. Her love is so subtle. "


" I told one lady that if she wants to stay in the ashram she must not have money in the bank; that will make her egoistic. I don't fear even if I have so much money in my name because I have no ego. I give away all the money. Today somebody gave me some gold; I gave it away. "


One lady staying in the ashram said that she wanted to go to her village and bring some money. Nanna asked her to stay back as she would not need any money in the ashram. When she insisted, Nanna clearly told that she would not be permitted to stay in the ashram if she returned with the money.

Nanna never saw whether we have money or not. He only sees whether we have yearning for Mother. If we have that, he takes us in his shelter.

Then Nanna spoke about incessant Radha dhyana:


" Mother gave me a thought from within to arrange dhyana. She gave us the verse Kaisoradhbhutha...She told me to develop the bhava and establish a Centre for dhyana. How many people can get such a thought? She gave me this thought. Immediately I got the rooms ready. This is service to mankind. I thought 'how did I attain my longevity?' I followed the path of Radha dhyana. Gradually my karmas were reduced and finally destroyed. She proved that I was rid of karmas by arranging a naming ceremony. These are all linked. I was reborn. That is how powerful the effect of karma is. Mother never speaks; She shows through actions. The real test came later. I almost died in that incident. She sees everything in advance! That is Her nature. "


" She will grant me all the qualities of a sakhi before I become a sakhi. It is not simply writing a book on sakhi tattwa; you must also attain those qualities. Then only the book will be natural. The reader will diligently follow it like a text book and try to develop sakhi bhava as mentioned in the book. There is no need to write much theory. "


" Those who develop sakhi qualities become detached from worldly pleasures. He will slowly give up all his bad habits and addictions. He will become totally detached from the world. That is very essential. "


'Does this come naturally without any effort on his part?'


" Yes, it will come. You must elaborate this idea in the book. It is very difficult to attain superimposition which is an essential requirement. It is also very difficult to write about superimposition. "


'Yes Nanna. I tried to write about superimposition but could not match up to your standard. I included two incidents that occurred in your life - snake in S.Kota and tiger in Araku valley..'


" It is very difficult to get that superimposition. You must totally lose the bhava that it is a snake and gain the bhava that it is Mother. "


" Bhavodaya (awakening of bhava) is a very important quality. When bhava is awakened and you think only of Mother and contemplate on her only, you will feel like weeping. "


'Nanna you said that sakhi bhava is attained only by Mother's grace and not by anybody's efforts.'


" If you go into the depth of sakhi bhava, it should be superimposition. Mother should come during superimposition of sakhi bhava; otherwise it is very difficult. "


'Is superimposition of sakhi bhava difficult?'


" Yes, there are many aspects of sakhi bhava. I told you about Saint Francis of Assisi. "


" This incident is included in the 3rd volume of Brindavaneswari Sri Radha. The bhava of Jesus Christ is imposed in the superimposition of Saint Francis. In the same way, Radha bhava, the bhava of rasa is imposed in sakhi bhava. "


" When the bear was at a distance, he simply stared at it and it stopped moving. That is what actually happens in superimposition of bhava. In one incident that took place in Kavali, a lady who lost her only son was lying on the bed mourning for her son. I went and spoke to her. Within no time she got up and cooked something for me. Later she accompanied me too. Whatever may be the problem, man slowly forgets. He will not have many earthly problems. Unless we become detached from earthly objects, we cannot have yearning for Mother. Unless we have that yearning, we cannot go near Her. That is the order! Gradual detachment from the world and yearning for Mother will occur together. We can reach Her only in this way. During this period, we feel like weeping for Her. Even thinking of Mother will make us weep. (Nanna began to weep.)That is an important quality of a sakhi. "


We could see all the qualities of a sakhi shining in Nanna. We saw him weeping with bhava of separation from Her as he said


" Even thinking of Her will make us weep. "


Radhasakhi, the partner in rasa, the rasasakhi came down to earth as our Nanna. With infinite love and affection, he kept us in his heart. Can there be a greater fortune than this?


" Before Shakuntala left Kanva Maharshi's ashram and went to her husband's house, she told the trees about her departure, she hugged the flowers and took leave from all of them. She wept near almost each and every plant informing them that she was leaving soon. That bhava should develop in you. "


'Nanna, is it the quality of that bhava or is it the rasa bhava of Brindavan?'


" It is not because of Brindavan or Kasi. The bhava is the same. The Vedas proclaim Raso vaisaha. In one song, I wrote: "

 

 

 
 
Rasame nee roopambu rasame na paramavadhi
Neeve latharoopambai jagamulella nindinavu
----
 
 

Rasa is Your form; rasa is my ultimate goal; You are spread over the universe like a creeper

 
 

 


" I did not mention any particular place; rasa envelops the whole world. "


'Nanna, Vyasa maharshi said that Bhagawata is filled with rasa. But you said that the Bhagawata does not pertain to Mother!'


" Mother means.She is present in various stages of rasa. "


'You mentioned about Kanva muni..'


" That is one stage of rasa. "


'Does the bhava you mentioned about Kanva muni and Shakuntala belong to Mother's level?'

'No', Anjani amma said.


" Though it is not at Her level, it cannot be neglected. You must understand that rasa is always good. No doubt, Mother is at a higher class. Just as Ist Std and PG are different levels of education. "


" In that song I wrote that the whole world is filled with rasa. It is not that there are so many rasas in the world. The shadow of rasa is everywhere. Otherwise how could the bear stop when it saw Saint Francis? "


'But that is superimposition; it is not related to rasa!'


" You cannot differentiate. "


'Nanna, some magicians hypnotise people and keep them under their spell. What is that?'


" I don't know. I have no experience. "


'You mentioned in one lecture that when he says, the audience will dance, sit or stand. What is that?' Anjani amma asked.


" That is not superimposition. "


'Then what is it? It is one aspect of art.'


" Is that one aspect of art? "


'Yes. There are so many siddhis(powers). Likewise, rasa is also described in various forms. The real tattwa is different. All these emerged from that tattwa.'


" The dance of the two little girls in your vision is related to rasa. "


'Yes, no doubt about that.', Anjani amma agreed immediately.

'Amma, whose dance?'

'Dance of two little girls.'

'Who danced, Nanna?'


" One girl emerged from here (pointing to him) and another girl emerged from Mother's idol. "


'Then it is directly rasa..'


" They both danced with rasa. "


'One needs to experience rasa to define rasa. These are only forms...Rasa is defined according to dwaitha (dualism). Each one defines tattwa based on his tattwa. Only those who realized tattwa know the real form of rasa. Rasika mahatmas are aware of rasa tattwa but nobody knows Rasovaisaha. The scholars and poets defined rasa in their own way. The dwaithas, adwaithas and vishishtadwaithas defined according to their principles. Yet nobody could define the real rasa swaroopa. The rasika mahatmas clearly stated that if that rasa is attained, it means that Radha is within you. Bhagawata gained prominence because rasa is present in the devotees. Radha is the rasa swaroopa. That is how the rasika mahatmas consider the Bhagawata. That rasa is only up to the level of moksha. Pareekshit was eligible up to that level only.' Anjani amma explained.


" Rasa is beyond moksha. Infact the birth of rasa is higher. Moksha is at a lower level. It cannot move higher. The real rasa must move higher. Avyakto vyaktat Paraha. The real rasa is present in Para! Though rasa is also present in vyaktha and avyaktha, it is inferior to Para. "


Our loving Nanna takes such care of us and cautions us against believing hypnotic tricks and siddhis to be divine powers. When he mentioned about Saint Francis, Anjani amma spoke about hypnotism. The conversation between the two mahatmas is not a casual one. It is Radhaji's leela to show us the difference between the tricks shown by gurus and the state of rasa filled with Mother's love.
13.09.02, Brindavan dham

The following day was Radhashtami. We all surrounded Nanna who was glowing with Her attributes! He spoke about propagating Radha philosophy all over the country.


" We must carry food items while leaving this place. On our way back, they will arrange everything for us. When they read the matter provided by us, they will insist that we eat with them. We shall not stay for more than half a day at any place. We will carry packed food and move to the next place. We shall have packed food and served food everyday. That stage will come some day... "


'Nanna, will you also accompany us?'


" I will accompany to some extent.. "


'This trip will materialize only after idol installation ceremony'


" Yes. Nothing will commence before that. They will certainly invite us to their places. Within 2-3 months, all the villagers will come near us. That is what will happen! "


'Travelling or dhyana?'


" We will be traveling to some place or other. People will offer us food as we cannot cook for ourselves there. "


" I plan to arrange Saptaha dhyana deeksha - seven days of austere penance! I will arrange everything including mats, pillows and food. You must do dhyana for 7 days continuously. Then all your karmas will be shed. That is the boon given by Radhaji. That is why I want to arrange these dhyana sessions for a week. We shall have 16 people in each batch every month. This dhyana must continue as long as the Sun and the Moon exist. "


'Should we strictly not speak at all?', a devotee Parameswar asked.

Simultaneously, Nanna's voice saying 'Tapas' can be heard in the tape.


" Instead of speaking, you can do nama. "


Yes, Nanna.'


" During these seven days, you must not speak to anybody. You must remain in silence. Do only tapas. "


Nanna's voice saying 'Tapas' simultaneously can be heard again.

Astonishing! Who is saying this? Nanna continued as if he is not aware of anything.

'Nanna, is it only for those seven days or can we continue even after that..'


" You can continue. Seven days in dhyana must be spent here. It will be very effective. I am making arrangements including a separate cook for these 16 devotees. It will cost Rs 1.10 lakhs every year. I will not ask anybody for money. Mother will provide everything. I will arrange separate rooms for men and women. They will have no contact during those seven days. "


Again,Nanna came back to the topic of propagating Radha philosophy.


" I am planning to purchase a car. We must print a book highlighting four important points: 'How were we prior to our downfall? Why did we face downfall? Who can uplift us and what power do we need? How should we worship and satisfy Mother?' The fifth point will comprise of the arrangements made here for dhyana. "


'Will we distribute the printed matter in all the villages?'


" We will distribute all over the earth. Presently we are printing 5000 copies. I will purchase a car to distribute them. We will travel to Orissa, Chennai and Hyderabad, distributing books at every stage of our journey. Whoever wishes can participate in the Dhyana Saptaha which will be conducted every month. "


" We shall accommodate 8 ladies and 8 men in each batch with 4 devotees in each room. Mother said that this is incessant power. We don't know whether we did dhyana in our previous birth. If we did, we would not take birth like this. At least in this birth, we must do incessant dhyana, day and night for at least 7 days to start with. This dhyana will never go waste. It is Mother's penance. "


" You must not speak during these seven days. You must not come out of your room. Badari Narayana did such penance in the Himalayas, maintaining silence. We will arrange dhyana for one week, seven days and seven nights. The next batch will follow in the next month. This dhyana must continue as long as the Sun and the Moon exist. "


'Nanna, should we take Her name (nama)?'


" Nama is mixed with bhava. It is not ordinary nama. I will tell you about that dhyana which is combined with nama. It is very peculiar. Nama, dhyana, mouna (name, penance and silence)- all the three are present. This dhyana is a combination of all the three aspects. On the first day, there will be only teaching. Dhyana will actually begin from the second day onwards. "


'Nanna, please give us the opportunity to participate.'


" There is certainly an opportunity to whoever desires to do dhyana. Mother gave Her word that She will destroy the karmas of those who take Her name with bhava! If they do not lose their karma, they cannot go up after death. Mankind is moving among karma. "


" I am printing some books on Radha dhyana. I will give you a copy each. Read all the books carefully. The books will be ready for the idol installation ceremony. "


'You gave us nama and mantra.'


" Mother is present in nama also. Anything is Mother only. In this deeksha, there is no mantra, only nama. Without nama, it is difficult to do dhyana. That's why..I will explain in detail later. It is very interesting. "


" Mother gave the young devotee Rehman only Her name- Shyama Shyama, nothing else. Within just seven days, he went near Mother. Seven days is not a small period. It more than enough for this life if you maintain silence and do dhyana continuously, day and night, It would indeed be an achievement in this life. "


" In our books, we will print the verse from Sri Radhasudhanidhi- 'Kaisoradhbhutha..' in which She promised to remove our karmas. We will also mention about Rehman Khan who was blessed in seven days. He did penance all the time, day and night. He chanted Shyama Shyama. He did not do or think of anything else. It was Mother who made him do such penance. He did not stop though he was being beaten up. Finally, Mother's sakhi, Champakalatha came down from Her dham and took him near Her. That is why one week is certainly not a small period. "


Nanna's infinite love overflows from his words as we listen to them now. Speaking about dhyana saptahha he said 'we don't know whether we did dhyana in our previous birth. If we did, we would not take birth like this.' Nanna who is beyond karma puts himself along with us, who are bound by karma and dharma. Where is Radhasakhi and where are we? Without pointing out our mistakes, he includes himself as one among us and gives us his advice. His tender love is evident through out this book.

He referred to Rehman's story when he said that this saptaha would comprise of nama, dhyana and mouna. Nanna explained in detail about Rehman's story in the volumes of Brindavaneswari Sri Radha Devi. However, Nanna he did not mention some points at that time - how Rehman's father troubled him, how his yearning with Shyama nama intensified, how they deprived him of food and water, how he left his house and reached Brindavan, how Champakalatha sakhi took him to Radhaji's presence. He said that the whole episode occurred in seven days. Whether Rehman noticed or not, Radhasakhi noticed that he did penance for one week and became blessed. Nanna cited this example to explain how one week of incessant dhyana will benefit the human being and make him reach Her.

'Nanna, you said that we must do penance for seven days during day and night..'


" You can sleep if you are sleepy in that room only. Whenever you wake up you must continue nama. That's what Mother said. Sleep if you want to. Anyway, you need not worry. You cannot sleep because you will not be allowed to. All the Gods will come down to join in this dhyana. They will not allow you to sleep. I always sit in this chair because I don't want to sleep comfortably. Whenever I wake up from a nap, I continue my penance. Whenever you are awake, do dhyana. Continue like this for seven days. It is a very great penance. I will give a talk on the first day regarding this penance. From the second day, you will do dhyana. "


'We are eagerly looking forward to this dhyana..'


" That will be a great achievement in your life. I want to distribute books in as many states as possible. Everybody must know about Her and these Dhyana yoga saptahas. No other organization in India has arranged like this so far. I will arrange for mats and mattress for each one. A separate cook will be engaged for these 16 devotees. "


" Recently somebody wrote 'the lower mind pulls many people down. It is very difficult to conquer it. Some people may not succeed even after several births. It is not possible to conquer the mind in one life. It is very difficult. The Gods will come down from the higher world and help us in doing dhyana. "


'Nanna, will you give us some tips to practice?' Parameswar asked.


" Mother will give you tips as you practice. Her associates and other Gods will come down. They will not do on their own but will help you to do dhyana. It is so great..It is the penance of so many ages..This penance will continue for many years.I started 'Kishori Fund' for this purpose. It will never deplete because nobody will touch it. "


Parameswar agreed to provide rice for 16 devotees.


" I will arrange a good cook by spending some money. Ah. How She is arranging everything! "


'Yes Nanna. Nobody can even imagine such a thing.'


" I will spend Rs 1-1.25 lakhs every year. She said that She would arrange the money. That is inevitable. She accomplished Her job to a great extent. Rs 96000 accumulated in the fund so far! "


" Everyone should come down at 5a.m., have a bath, drink coffee and go back to their room. They must come down again only the next day. In this way, 16 devotees must do dhyana every month. At the end of seven days, I will dedicate these 16 devotees to Her. "


'Nanna, will Mother ensure that we are able to participate in the deeksha?' Sarada asked.


" It is not Her responsibility; it is yours only. She will look after tapas only. You must manage your family matters. "


While Nanna lovingly invites us to do Radha dhyana, he is very blunt when it comes to worldly matters. We must make necessary adjustments in the family and go there. Once we reach him, he will take care of the rest.


" There must not be any other photo beside Hers. Offer some milk to Her I the morning and evening and sing nama. 'Radhe Radhe' That is enough. "


" Once, Krishna came to see Her. The sakhis did not allow him to enter saying 'you cannot enter unless you become a sakhi.' Then Krishna became a female! He became a sakhi. The sakhis allowed him to enter only after he became a sakhi. All are sakhis! That is sakhi culture. When she (pointing to me) said she wanted to write a book on sakhi tattwa, I told that it is very difficult. The most important point in sakhi tattwa is that they cannot even utter Mother's name completely. "


Nanna began to weep. He asked Sekhar to repeat what Kulapathi garu said in his talk the previous day.

'Kulapathigaru said 'if Nanna just hears Mother's name, he begins to weep.''


" Even now as I speaking to you, Mother's bhava is filled within me. I am unable to speak. You also must attain that bhava. "


Nanna was weeping with bhava. We all watched him glowing in that bhava.


" All points have been covered except this one. This symptom does not come naturally to anyone. He must do incessant dhyana to attain it. There is no other way. "


'Positive and negative aspects...'Sekhar said


" Yes, positive and negative aspects should be present together. Mother gave me the idea to start dhyana yoga saptahas every month with 16 people in each batch. There are so many ashrams in India but such an arrangement cannot be found anywhere. Some people in Brindavan arrange it, but occasionally. Nobody does it regularly till eternity. "


" That dhyana is very difficult. By the fifth day, everybody will receive Her call. Silence also forms a part of this dhyana along with Mother's name. "


'Nanna, should we begin with Mother's name?'


" Her name should be uttered incessantly. It is not an ordinary name. It is incessant name plus silence plus contemplation on the all pervading Mother. All the three are combined in this dhyana. "


" Some people who came from Hrishikesh said that though they were practicing since 20 years they could not reach that stage of weeping. They did not do incessant dhyana like Rehman. He was weeping continuously. Though people were beating him, he was not even conscious that he was being beaten. His incessant tapasya was name only. That name was granted to him by Mother. It came to him naturally. That's why he said 'it is involuntary. I am notable to take the name of Allah. What can I do?' That is a part of sakhi tattwa. Her name came to him involuntarily. He was not given food and water for five days, yet he never cared. He did not stop nama. She granted him only Her name. Now tell me, is name present or not? "


'It is present Nanna.', Sekhar said

Nanna laughed.


" There is nothing other than name. "


'But name is dissolved in her kingdom...'


" There is name, silence and all pervading bhava. The verse 'Bahunam janmanamthe.' says that you must attain the bhava of Vasudeva sarvamithi'. You must feel the all pervading Mother every minute. That is essential. That feeling must expand our congested heart. Then the tears will come. "


" This is what Sage Narada told Prahlada. When his father asked where God is present, he said 'Indu galadandu ledani sandehamu valadu..' He expressed the all pervading nature of God. Sakhis don't go to temples. In sakhi tattwa, one must not go to temples. "


'Is going to temples prohibited or do they not feel like going?'


" The condition is that they must not go the temple because they cannot see the all pervading Mother in a subtle form (as it is an idol). "


'But Mother is present even in those idols...'


" That is philosophy. Sakhi tattwa is different from philosophy. It is very peculiar. You feel Mother as a part of the all pervading. Mother is near me but as a part of the all pervading. That bhava must be attained. "


" Mother is all pervading. What will somebody who is about to bathe in a river think? Will he think that he is about to take a dip in the river or in a vessel filled with water? "


'In a river.'


" In the same way, you have a vast river - the all pervading. I dipped in it. My beloved one is all pervading. Since She is all pervading, you have tears. Weeping comes from the all pervading. All pervading nature, silence and incessant name. "


Nanna gave this talk during Radhashtami in 2002. He knew that he would not be present for Radhashtami in 2003, although we were not aware of it. With abundant love towards us, he made us sit near him and spoke in detail about Sri Radha dhyana. He told in such detail that his words entered our heart and made us feel that he already began to make us do incessant dhyana. Nanna is aware of the past, present and future. The onlookers may feel that he spoke so much about idol installation ceremony and Saptaha Deeksha but left the mortal frame before it actually happened. There is no hurdle for Nanna's decision. On 1.5.2004, Nanna manifested in Anjani amma and installed Sri Radha's idol. He made many devotees realize this fact. He made his devotees to begin and practice incessant dhyana. He is continuing his activities through Anjani amma. She is a pious instrument of Nanna who is carrying out the incredible activities initiated by him. Nanna is an instrument in Radhaji's hands; Anjani amma is an instrument in Nanna's hands. Thus the propagation of rasa is continuing....

In one song Nanna said 'Patra pushpa sangathyame madhuramaina nee seva'. It is our dharma, our duty to reach the holy feet of the all pervading Sri Radha through incessant dhyana. This is our ultimate goal for ages to come.
 

 

 
 
Rasame nee roopambu rasame na paramavadhi
Neeve latha roopambai jagamulella nindinavu
Nee bhaktude ee pathram nee leelaye aa pushpam
Patrapushpa sangathyam madhuramina nee seva
----
 
 

Rasa is Your form; Rasa is my ultimate goal. You filled the whole world like a creeper. Your devotee is the leaf and Your leela is the flower. The combination of leaf and flower - devotee and Your leela is only Your enchanting seva
