Sharanagati-7.Pdf 1.Wings for the future disciple (from a lecture of B.K.Tirtha Maharaj, 18.09.2010, Sofia) We have a very special and very important topic and this is concerning our spiritual path and spiritual growth. Our spiritual progress depends on our commitment to our masters. Concerning this topic we have to study two verses from “Bhagavad Gita”. One is the verse of the disciple and the second is the verse of the guru. Which one you would like to hear first? Let’s start with the disciple, all right. Actually the “Bhagavad Gita” is a divine song. This is like the teaching of Lord Krishna, God, to His disciple, Arjuna. In this way this conversation instructs us practically in all fields and all questions of spiritual growth. So the disciplic verse is at the very beginning. “Karpanya-dosopahata-svabhavah prcchami tvam dharma-sammudha-cetah yac chreyah syan niscitam bruhi tan me sisyas te ’ham sadhi mam tvam prapannam - Now I am confused about my duty and have lost all composure because of miserly weakness. In this condition I am asking You to tell me for certain what is best for me. Now I am Your disciple, and a soul surrendered unto You. Please instruct me.”1 From this we can get some ideas about the proper mentality of a student. “I am perplexed.” If you know everything, why should you go to a person who teaches you? Although we have learned so much in life, because life is a lifelong learning, after a certain time we shall arrive to a limit, which we cannot cross by ourselves. And the first quality of a disciple is that he or she understands the limits. Therefore it is also said, in order to really be connected to a master, we need to be a little bit confused. But confused in a positive sense, confused in such a way that we want to find the solution. And when we understand our limited conditions in this lifetime, then we should search for an authority, who can help us. And here Arjuna, the friend of Krishna, of God, says: “I am confused about my duty. What to do in this lifetime?” Good question, isn’t it? Life is long, but it passes quickly. So we have to use this short time. How much you give yourself? Sixty, seventy years? You might think in the beginning: sixty years or seventy years it’s a long time. It is long, but at the end you will see: “Ah, it was just a blink of an eye. And I had a long list of plans - all unfulfilled.” So, we have to be careful about time and we have to use our life for the best purpose. If you know what to do, don’t ask. If you have some doubts whether you live your life properly, then ask. “I have lost my strength because of my weakness. Tell me for sure, what is best for me?” That question means that a disciple, or a future disciple, is a responsible person. “I want to use my life for the best purpose. So, tell me, what is best – for me, not for You, for me what is best?” Is it selfish? No, this is not selfish, because a real guru will tell you what is good for you in a very high manner. The best for us, for us all, is to harmonize our goals with the divine goals. Until we want to serve our own private interests, we shall be frustrated. If we start serving the divine common interest, our life will be fulfilled. If you live for yourself, you live for nobody; if you live for God, you live for everybody. This is the first chapter of divine science. And then Arjuna says: “Now I’m Your disciple, a surrendered soul unto You. Please, instruct me!” Actually this is the shishya-abhiman, or the mentality of the disciple. One definition of a disciple is that he is under discipline. And the other definition of a disciple is that he lets himself to be instructed. That is the willingness to learn, the willingness to acquire some knowledge. Therefore we have to be humble to become a real disciple. In some places 1 Bhagavad Gita 2.7 in India they make the entrance to the temples very low. Why? In order to bow down a little bit. With a raised head and a nose poked into the sky it is very difficult to learn. Therefore it is said: a prospective disciple is that person, who has this mentality of the disciple. Here Arjuna declares: “I am Your disciple.” This is very important – to declare. Words do have a magic power. If you say something, it is just like an object in front of you. Words do have a magic power. And when you declare that: “I’m your disciple,” it’s like an ideal manifested in front of you. But Arjuna also said a second quality: “surrendered soul unto You”. So, I’m not a student of, let’s say, mathematics - we can think that that is also a disciple, but it’s not – a real disciple is a student of the spiritual science. Because mathematics will disappear, just like all other material engagements or achievements or sciences or whatever. But the spiritual science, achievement and life will stay with you. So we are disciples, we are students if we cultivate the permanent life, the eternal values. And this surrendering process is just like providing the wings for the future disciple. Now you are like an uncut diamond. Or better we say, you are coal, pre-diamond. But by little heat and little pressure, from the coal diamond will start to become, correct? This is a transformation. And surrender is the beginning of this transformation. From black coal, a very beautiful diamond starts to become. But from this natural state of the diamond we have to come to the brilliant state, to cut diamond. Therefore we have to apply a method. And the method is the initiation process, this is called diksha. Diksha is such a sacred institution, when the divine knowledge and the divine connection is transferred to the disciple. This is compared to a touchstone, when by this divine touch, a simple basic element turns into gold. Do you feel that change on yourselves? This is a very deep transcendental process. And even if you don’t feel immediate effects, it is there. The sadhus, or the masters, they will transfer you the spiritual knowledge. 2.Three levels of disciples (from a lecture of B.K.Tirtha Maharaj, 18.09.2010, Sofia) “Now I am confused about my duty and have lost all composure because of miserly weakness. In this condition I am asking You to tell me for certain what is best for me. Now I am Your disciple, and a soul surrendered unto You. Please instruct me.”2 Here Arjuna represents the different levels of necessities of the disciple. First of all he says: “I am perplexed about my duty, what to do?” This is one level, the practical. The second: “Tell me what is best for me.” And the third one is: “I am Your surrendered soul.” Do you see the differences? On the first platform this we can call a neophyte disciple. He is searching for material solutions. “I’m perplexed about my duty, so please help me.” Well, don’t stop on that platform. Usually masters are tolerant enough to give guidance even on that platform, and strange enough it works! If you invent your own life it might work, it might not work. But if you follow the instruction, it will work definitely. It’s very divine, it’s very magic. This is the first platform of a disciple – give me this, give me that. And the gurus are very happy with these disciples. “Ah, very good! I give him little money, I give him little job, I give him little engagement - they leave me alone. They’ve got a few coins and they are satisfied.” Don’t be such a neophyte that will be satisfied with insignificant things. 2 Bhagavad Gita 2.7 Because the second level, mentioned by Arjuna is: “Tell me what is best for me?” So the first level was focused on ourselves, the second level is focused on our eternal benefit. And “Tell me for certain what is best for me?” No guesses. Give me a sure answer. That level is for the intermediate disciples, who are searching for something more substantial and more satisfying than the immediate benefits. This is more rare and gurus are even more happy with these disciples than with the previous ones. Because such a master will say: “Ah, he is not satisfied with the coins, he wants something more – good!” And this is the time when we can discuss the higher dharma, the higher goals of human life. How to live in this material world in such a way that we don’t lose out eternal benefits. Because sometimes they contradict each other – the basic needs and the spiritual goals. So with this secondary class of disciples, the guru will discuss dharma. With the first ones – material benefits; with the second ones – dharmic benefits. But the third level, mentioned in the verse, is: “I am Your disciple and a soul surrendered to You.” So, what do you think, a surrendered person has any separate interests? Surrender means you submit yourself. This is a very high expectation. But on than platform the goal is not the material benefits, the goal is not dharmic benefits, but here the goal is Your desire, what You like, my master, this is important for me.

    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

  • 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.
