"Kalindi tata kunja ........Para dwayakshara" Sri Radha Sudha Nidhi, Verse 95
|
'Hari sits on the banks of Yamuna River like a yogi, doing dhyana on some divine feet with tears flowing from his eyes. I pray that the divine two letters of Para 'Ra dha' on which Krishna is doing dhyana in a state of wonderful, indescribable ecstasy of rasa may always reside in my heart'
|
Sri Hitaharivamsa, the manifestation of Sri Radha's flute enlightened the seekers of Rasa by directly telling them on which wonderful and indescribable Goddess of Para they must do dhyana. Sri Krishna who is unattainable to yogis constantly recites 'Radha' - the two letters of Para and does dhyana on Her holy feet.
|
Nanna installed such a Radha, who is unattainable to Brahma and other Gods in our heart. The devotees of various cults believe that one must have some minimum eligibility even to utter 'Radhe Radhe' and do dhyana on Her name. Nanna has blessed each one of us by giving us the opportunity to greet one another by saying 'Radhe Radhe'; to repeat Her mantra and to do incessant Radha dhyana. Did any Guru shower such love and kindness on his devotees? It is no exaggeration to say that only Nanna, the Rasa Guru, Radha Sakhi and manifestation of infinite love can shower such love. As Anjani Amma said, we can experience more sweetness and happiness in recital of Sri Radha's name with bhava. Since they think of Her name with bhava, Nanna and Anjani Amma become mesmerised when they hear 'Radha' being uttered.
|
Nanna not only installed the unattainable sovereign Sri Radha in our heart but is also showering incessant Sri Radha bhava dhyana on us. He mentions about Sri Radha dhyana in each and every talk. He once said 'To get Mother is easy, but to retain Her is very difficult'. It is very difficult for us to be blessed with Mother's glance. We were able to have that fortune by Nanna's grace. It is our duty to retain this unique blessing. Our Guru, the Mahatma explained the need to do such dhyana, the gain by doing dhyana and also the loss by not doing dhyana throughout his life. Those who listen to his talks peripherally may feel that he is repeating the same words but one must understand and feel his love behind every word, protecting us from being trapped in maya.
|
Nanna said from his experience about incessant Sri Radha dhyana that if we follow this method diligently, within six months you will establish a link with Mother's Hladini power. The tremendous power of Hladini sakthi flows in Nanna perennially. Since he already reached the goal, he cautioned us that the path is difficult and slippery. He knows that it is not easy to do dhyana on the all pervading; hence he is taking us forward step by step. His words about dhyana yoga are not merely sound waves; he sends the waves of his power along with his words. His aim is to bring us to that state where we cannot live without Mother.
|
Nanna is the confidential sakhi of the Supreme power. He stated his status by saying 'It is so easy to come near me' yet he also says 'All of you must do Radha dhyana. I request you not to lose this opportunity.' How can we comprehend his love? 'Only rasa can give rasa. Only I have the authority and eligibility to speak about Radha' these words prove who he is! Maya is present in human life every second. To escape from the clutches of maya, we must surrender to Nanna's feet because he is the aspect of Sri Radha's power of ecstasy. We must always remember his loving words 'Associate with me'.
|
He always told us to be passive towards the world. We have seen that he lived in a state of passiveness. When he spoke about the incident when he carried the body of his six year old son to the cremation ground, his steady voice reflected his passive bhava. Such a state could be achieved only by Nanna who separated from his body by incessant Radha bhava dhyana.
|
During discussion about the incident in the Ramayana where Sita hurls stern allegations at Lakshmana, he took the side of Lakshmana and began to weep saying 'such a difficult time; such harsh words' He has such a sensitive nature yet he is very blunt about dhyana. He said in a straight forward way 'I will not give you this maha dhyana unless you overcome the eleven hurdles. This is Mother's order'.

"
Without bhava that God is everywhere, you cannot treat everybody equally. I have no hatred towards anybody. I see everybody in the same way.
"
|
'Samathwam yogamuchyathe' Nanna is the Mahatma who attained the state of seeing everybody equally.
|
|
"
You must do incessant penance. Without continuous dhyana, your karma cannot be shed. I am doing incessant dhyana on Mother. I am telling you to do the same. Dhyana only is my message.
"
|
I surrender to Nanna's holy feet. I pray to our Nanna, who took us into his heart with such love to accept me.

Mother, you are the manifestation of bhava. Your love is the ship which protects me from drowning in this ocean of maya. Radha, please bless me and shower your grace and mercy.
