 This Bhajan Yamuna Puline by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura is sweeter than nectar .It is found in his Kalyana Kalpa Taru

It describes how the the Divine couple sits surrounded by the Asta Sakhis and Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura is desiring that I just want to leave this whole material world behind and join the Divine Couples service. He has written a similar bhajan to glorify Gaura Gadadhara in Navadvipa that is actually non different from the Divine couple.

 

When I joined ISKCON I heard this bhajan and prayed I may one day be abel to understand it : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=relId1rRQC0

this is sung by Saccinandan Prabhu , one of Srila Prabhupadas disciple .It melts my heart for Radha Krsna even if I hear this bhajan a million times over and over.

 

This Kalayana Kalpa Taru is Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura manifesting a Kalpa Vriksa tree in the material world , it takes us from Sambhandha jnana to Prayojana .

 In  ISKCON Mayapure every day we can see how nicely Radha Madhava are being worshipped along the Asta sakhis. Someone may ask where is the asta manjaris? Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura is a servant of Rupa Manjari and is himself Kamala Manjari.

 The fact is the Asta manjaris are there along with with the Asta Sakhis . Well how about the asta Gopas the Priya narma sakhas they also worship Radha Krsna and the asta sakhis, but they are keeping a distance and are only doing menial service .In his Dhyanacandra Paddhati he has described the glories of Radha and Krsna and the asta Sakhis and asta Manjaris even given their Gaytri mantras. These  Gayatri mantras used to be chanted daily among Gaudiya vaisnavas along with minimum 64 rounds of the Mahamantra.  Pandu das a disciple of Srila Prabhupada made a painting with the Asta Sakhis and asta manjaris based on the description of Srila Rupa Goswami and is an excellent painting of the Divine couple, the asta sakhis and asta manjaris .Well sadly this is subjects that only few devotees will have even interest in .But this is the real Krsna katha.I recently have been absorbed a lot in Krsna and Arjunas pastimes in Mahabharata but I never forget my Gurudevas instruction to me to absorbed myself in Manah Siksa and focus on Vraja Bhakti. He planted a seed of such Vraja Bhava Bhakti in my heart in 1996 in Mathura .Mostly I can just aborbe myself in the first chapters of Kalyana Kalpa taru how I am not this body and give up all kind of anistha bhakti. But it is my wish that in one life time I may be allowed to join the divine couple and serve under the guidance of the priya narma sakhas like Subala and Ujjvala. My Gurudeva saw such potentials in my heart and for that I am forever thankfull to him.. I am sure Srila Prabhupada serves Radha Krsna eternally in the mood of the priya narma Sakhas,Srila Prabhupada was asked about his nitya svarupa he said : "If I told you , you will faint" .Srila Prabhupada I am ready to faint for you or anything you want.

I remain the eternal servant of Radha Krsna the various sakhis and asta sakhis and asta manjaris and asta Gopas.

 This is very confidential so I am not sure how many devotees I can share such realizationes with but I will find 3 advanced devotees or so .

your servant
