Sri Krishna-Sandarbha Sri Krsna-sandarbha The second of the six famous “Sat-Sandarbhas” A logical and sastric establishment of bhakti unto Lord Sri Krishna - by Srila Jiva Goswami translated by Sriman Kusakratha Dasa, the late disciple of His Divine Grace A.C.

Çréla Gopäla Bhaööa Gosvämé, the great philosopher from the southern provinces who greatly pleased Çréla Rüpa Gosvämé and Çréla Sanätana Gosvämé, left many valuable notes which defeat various philosophical misconceptions. Systematically arranging these notes, and considering their content, Jéva Gosvämé writes this book, Kåñëa-sandarbha. Anuccheda 1 Text 1 atha pürvaà sandarbha-trayeëa yasya sarva-paratvaà sädhitam, tasya çré-bhagavato nirdhäraëäya sandarbho 'yam ärabhyate. atha-now; pürvam-previously; sandarbha-trayeëa-by the three Sandarbhas; yasya-of whom; sarva-paratvam-the position as the ultimate phase of the absolute truth superior to everything and any other conception of God; sädhitam-conclusively demonstrated; tasya-of Him; çré-bhägavataù-the Personality of Godhead, full of all opulences and powers; nirdharaëäya-for the specific description; sandarbhaù-essay; ayam-this; ärabhyate-is begun. 1 In the previous three sandarbhas the conception of God as the Supreme Person full of all powers and opulences is proved to be the ultimate phase of the Absolute Truth, superior to every other conception of God. This essay is written to give a specific description of that Supreme Personality of Godhead. Sarva-samvädiné Comment atha iti nirdhäraëam. bahuñv ekasya nirëayaù atha iti-beginning with the word atha; nirdhäraëam-the word nirdharana; bahusu-- among many; ekasya-of one; nirnayah- conclusion. By the word nirdhäraëa it is intendied that Bhagavän is the ultimate feature of the Absolute Truth. Text 2 atha tatra prathamasya dvitéye vadanti ityädinä tad ekam eva tattvaà brahmäditayä çabdyate ity uktam. atha-now; tatra-in this connection; prathamasya-of the First Canto of Çrémad- Bhägavatam (1.2.11); "Learned transcendentalists who know the Absolute Truth call this non-dual substance Brahman, Paramätmä or Bhagavän."* Text 3 tad eva brahmädi-trayaà tasya tåtéye vivicyate. brahma tv iha yatreme sad-asad-rüpe pratiçiddhe sva-saàvidä avidyayätmani kåte iti tad brahma-darçanam tat-that; eva-certainly; brahma-ädi-beginning with Brahman; trayam-three feature; tasya-of that; tåtéye-in the Third Canto; vivicyate-is delineated; brahma-Brahman; tu-also; iha-here; yatra-whenever; ime-in all these; sat-asat-gross and subtle; rüpe-in the forms of pratiçiddhe-on being nullified; sva-saàvidä-by self-realization; avidyayä-by ignorance; ätmani-in the self; krte-having been imposed; iti-thus; tat-that is; brahma-darçanam-the process of seeing the Absolute. These three features of the Absolute are described in the Third Canto of Çrémad- Bhägavatam. The following verse (1.3.33) describes the Lord's Brahman feature: 2 "Whenever a person experience, by self-realization, that both the gross and subtle bodies have nothing to do with the pure self, at that time he sees himself as well as the Lord in His Brahman feature."* Text 4 ity-ädinä tatra viviktam apy ekäkärävirbhävatayä saàçayäbhävät tat-tan-nirdhäraëärtham tat-tad-vacanaà niddhriyate. iti-ädinä-by this and other verses; tatra-in this connection; viviktam-discerned; api- manifestation; saàçaya- of doubt; abhävät-because of the absence; tat-tat-various; nirdharaëa of discrimination; artham-for the purpose; tat-tat-various; vacanam- descriptions; na-not; uddhriyate-should be raised. According to this verse and other descriptions in the Vedic literatures, the Brahman feature of the Absolute has only one unvariegated aspect, and therefore, without any doubt, it does not require an elaborate description in many words. Text 5 çré-bhagavat-paramätmanos tu nänävirbhävatvät täni vacanäni tat-tan-nirdhäraëärtham uddhriyante. çré-bhagavat-of the all-opulent Personality of Godhead; paramätmanoù-and of His localized expansion as the all-pervading Supersoul; tu-however; nänä-variegated; ävirbhävatvät-because of manifestation; tani vacanäni-many words; tat-tat-various; nirdharana-of discriminations; artham- for the purpose; uddhriyante-may be raised. However, the Paramätmä and Bhagavän features of the Absolute manifest a great variety of qualitites, and therefore they require an elaborate description. Text 6 tatreçvaro niräkäro nästéti präë nirëétam tatra-inthis connection; éçvaraù-the Supreme Controller; niräkäraù-without form or qualitites; na-not; asti-is; prak-previously; nirëétam-conclusively demonstated. Here we may note that in the final conclusion the Supreme Controller is not without form and qualities. This has been proved in the earlier portion of this book (the previous Sandarbhas). 3 Text 7 paramätmä-çabdena ca sarväntaryämi-puruñaù pratipäditas teçv eva sandarbheñu. tathä ca sati tasmiàs tåtéyädhyäyärambhe evam äbhäñyam. paramätmä-çabdena-by the word Paramätmä; ca-also; sarva-antaryämé-all-pervading; purusah-Supreme Person; pratipäditaù-described; teñu-in these; eva-certainly; sandarbheñu-in the Sandarbhas; tathä-in the same way; ca- also; sati-being; tasmin-in this; tåtéya-adhyäya-of the Third Chapter; ärambhe-in the endeavor; evam-in this way; abhäçyam-I described. The Paramätmä, or all-pervading expansion of the Supreme Person present in everyone's heart and in every atom, I have already described in the Third Chapter (Paramätma- sandarbha) of this book. Text 8 nanu pürvaà brahmäditayä tridhaiva tattvam ekam uktam tatra brahmaëaù kià lakñaëaà bhagavat-paramätmanor vä, tatra tatra viçeñaù kaçcid vä kim astéti çré-çaunakädi-praçnam äçaìkya çré-süta uväca nanu-Is it not so?; pürvam-previously; brahma-ädi-yaya- beginning with Brahman tådhä- in three ways; eva-certainly; tattvam-the Absolute Truth; ekam-single; uktam-is described; tatra-in this connection; brahmaëaù-of Brahman; kim-what?; lakñaëam-characteristic; bhagavat-of Bhagavan; paramätmanoù-of Paramätmä; vä-or; tatra tatra-in various points; viçeñaù-specific distinction; kaçcit-certain; va- or; kim-what?; asti-is; iti-thus; çré-çaunaka- ädi-of Çaunaka and the other sages; praçnam-querry; äçaìkya- guessing; çré-sütah-Süta Gosvämé; uväca-said. "Formerly you said that althout the Absolute Truth is one, It is manifestated in three features. What are the qualities of these three features: Brahman, Paramätmä and Bhagavän?" Thimking that this question might arise in the minds of Çaunaka and the other sages, Süta Gosvämé said (Çrémad-Bhägavatam 1.3.1): Text 9 jagåhe pauruñaà rüpaà bhagavän mahad-ädibhiù sambhütaà çoòaça-kalam ädau loka-sisåkñayä jagåhe-accepted; pauruñam-plenary portion as the puruña incarnation; rüpam-form; bhagavän-the Personility of Godhead; mahat-ädibhiù-with the ingredients of the material world; sambhütam-thus there was the creation of; çoòaça-kalam- sixteen primary principles; ädau-in the beginning; loka-the universes; sisåkñayä-on the intention of creating. 4 "In the beginning of the creation, the Lord (Bhagavän) first expanded Himself in the universal form of the puruña incarnation and manifested all the ingredients for the material creation. And thus at first there was the creation of the sixteen principles of material action. This was for the purpose of creating the material universe."* Text 10 yaù çré-bhagavaë pürëa-sad-aiçvaryatvena pürvaà nirdiñöaù, sa eva pauruñaà rüpaà puruñatvenämnäyate yad rüpaà tad evädau sargärambhe jagåhe. präkåta-pralayeñv asmin lénaà sat-prakaöatayä své-kåtavän. yaù-who; çré-bhagavaë-Bhagavan; pürëa-full; sat- six; aiçvaryatvena-by possessing the opulences; pürvam- previously; nirdiñöaù-described; saù-he; eva-certainly; pauruñam-of the Puruña incaration; rüpam-the form; puruñatvena-as a person; ämnäyate-is considered; yat-which; rüpam-form tat-that; eva-certainly; ädau-in the beginning; sarva-ärambhe-at the time of creation; jagåhe-accepted; präkåta-of the material manifestation; pralayeñu-at the times of dissolution; asmin-in Him; lénam-dissappearance; sat--of reality; prakaöatayä-by manifestation; své-kåtavän- accepted. This verse says that Çré Bhagavän, who was described in the previous chapter as the possesor of six opulences in full perfection, accepts the personal form of the puruña incarnation at the beginning of the material creation. At the time of annihilation, the material world enters again within the puruña incarnation and only the eternal spiritual reality is manifest. Text 11 kim artham? taträha--loka-sisåkñayä. tasminn eva lénänäà lokänäà samasti-vyasty- upädhi-jévänäà sisåkñayä prädurbhävanärtham ity arthah. kim artham?-why?; tatra-in this connection; äha-he says; loka-the universes; sisåkñayä- on the intention of creating; tasmin-in Him; eva-certainly; lénänäm-of the merged; lokänäm-universes; samsasti-distinct; vyasti-as one; upädhi-deceptively appearing; jévänäm-of

  • To Be Controlled by Love | English
    TO BE CONTROLLED BY LOVE THERE IS NO HAPPINESS IN THIS WORLD You know that everyone wants to be happy. All living entities want happiness, but this world is arranged so that no one will ever be happy here. We cannot be happy. You should realise that there is no happiness and no tranquillity in this world. Even if a man is wealthy and has all facility for happiness, still some problem or dangerous sickness will disturb him. We may not be weak while we are young, but many diseases appear as we get older. Even if one has no diseases, there are many other problems. His wife may become sick; another relative or a friend may have cancer or tuberculosis; and someone else has another disease or some other problem. This world is arranged so that we always have a rope around our neck, and at some point it starts to tighten. This is because we have forgotten Krishna. As long as we are not endeavouring for Krishna consciousness, we will be more and more unhappy, with more problems, for many lifetimes. This is the truth, hut we can only understand all this by the grace of the disciplic succession. That is called Vedic authority. THE MOST VALID AUTHORITY Whom can we believe regarding what is good and what is bad? We must have some authority who is very kind and selfless, and in whom we can believe. The Vedic literatures such as the Vedas, Upanisads and Srimad-Bhagavatam are like that, but they cannot speak directly to us.

  • Women Saints in Gaudiya Vaishnavism​
    Women Saints in Gaudiya Vaishnavism - Jagadananda Das - ​ ​ ​ There are few traditional societies in which women have played a dominant historical role. In this respect, Gaudiya Vaishnavism is no different. The egalitarianism of bhakti movements, which stress the universality of devotion and deny any disqualifications based on birth, sex, or caste, seems to have had limited real effects on the actual social circumstances of any of these classes of people. There are some, including the eminent Bengali historian, Ramakanta Chakravarti, who feel that the status of women was improved in Chaitanya Vaishnavism, mainly due to the singular example of Jahnava Devi. (1) Indeed, it does ​ ​ appear that literacy rates among women (and men) in Vaishnava castes in Bengal were somewhat higher than in other, comparable groups, but this evidence is far from overwhelming. Today, some women may be found playing the role of guru, especially ministering to other women, and there are some Chaitanya Vaishnava women who sing padavali kirtan or give discourses on Vaishnava texts. On the whole, however, despite their dominant numbers at most religious events, the role of women continues to be a supporting one and subordinate to that of men. One question that needs analysis is whether the importance of Radha in the Vaishnava pantheon and the general weight given to the female principle and feminine virtues in the Gaudiya Vaishnava culture has had any influence on the status of women. Many feminist analysts have pointed out that the worship of goddesses has no proven relation to any such amelioration in societies where such worship is conducted.

  • If You Want to Know the Lord, Become Acaryavan
    If you want to know the Lord, become acaryavan If you want to know the Lord, become acaryavan ISKCON Vrindavan We welcome all the assembled devotees and thank you for being with us this morning to hear Srimad Bhagavatam canto nine chapter eleven text number one. I already gave a little indication and I’m sure you heard the announcement this morning. Today is Srila Jiva Goswami’s disappearance day festival. So we will do a Bhagavatam verse and also we must remember Srila Jiva Goswami. Today is a very special day. Please repeat: Sri Suka Uvaca bhagavan atmanatmanam rama uttama-kalpakaih sarva-devamayam devam ije athacaryavan makhaih Translation and purport by SrilaPrabhupada ki Jai. Sukadeva Gosvami said: Thereafter, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Ramacandra, accepted an acarya and performed sacrifices [yajnas] with opulent paraphernalia. Thus He Himself worshiped Himself, for He is the Supreme Lord of all demigods. Purport: Sarvarhanam acyutejya. If Acyuta, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, is worshiped, then everyone is worshiped. As stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam yathatarormula-nisecanena trpyanti tat-skandha-bhujopasakhah pranopaharac ca yathendriyanam tathaiva sarvarhanam acyutejya [SB 4.31.13] “As pouring water on the root of a tree nourishes the trunk, branches, twigs and leaves, and as supplying food to the stomach enlivens the senses and limbs of the body, worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead satisfies the demigods, who are part of that Supreme Personality.” Performing yajna involves worshiping the Supreme Lord. Here the Supreme Lord worshiped the Supreme Lord. Therefore it is said, bhagavan atmanatmanam ije: the Lord worshiped Himself by Himself.
