The whorl of that transcendental lotus is the realm wherein dwells K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. It is a hexagonal figure, the abode of the indwelling predominated and predominating aspect of the Absolute. Like a diamond the central supporting figure of self-luminous K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a stands as the transcendental source of all potencies. The holy name consisting of eighteen transcendental letters is manifested in a hexagonal figure with sixfold divisions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The transcendental pastimes of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a are twofold, viz., manifested and nonmanifested. The pastimes in V\u1e5bnd\u0101vana visible to mortal eyes are the manifestive l\u012bl\u0101<\/em> of \u015ar\u012b K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, and that which is not so visible, is nonmanifestive l\u012bl\u0101<\/em> of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. The nonmanifestive l\u012bl\u0101<\/em> is always visible in Goloka and the same is visible to human eyes in Gokula, if K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a so desires. In his K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a-sandarbha<\/em> \u015ar\u012b J\u012bva Gosv\u0101m\u012b Prabhu says, “Nonmanifestive pastimes are expressed in manifestive k\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a-l\u012bl\u0101,<\/em> and goloka-l\u012bl\u0101<\/em> is the nonmanifestive pastimes of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a visualized from the mundane plane.” This is also corroborated by \u015ar\u012b R\u016bpa in his Bh\u0101gavat\u0101m\u1e5bta.<\/em> The progressive transcendental manifestation of Gokula is Goloka. So Goloka is the selfsame majestic manifestation of Gokula. The eternal pastimes of \u015ar\u012b K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, although not visible in Gokula, are eternally manifested in Goloka. Goloka is the transcendental majestic manifestation of Gokula. The manifestations of the nonmanifestive pastimes of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a with regard to the conditioned souls are twofold, viz., (1) worship through the channel of the mantras<\/em> (inaudibly recited, liberating, self-dedicatory, transcendental sounds), (2) spontaneous outflow of heart’s spiritual love for K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. \u015ar\u012b J\u012bva Gosv\u0101m\u012b has said that worship through the mantra<\/em> is possible permanently in the proper place, when confined to one pastime. This meditative manifestation of Goloka is the pastime attended with the worship of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a through the mantra.<\/em> Again, the pastimes that are performed in different planes and in different moods, are autocratic in diverse ways; hence sv\u0101-rasik\u012b,<\/em> i.e., spontaneous, outflow of heart’s spiritual love for K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. This \u015bloka<\/em>conveys a twofold meaning. One meaning is that in the pastime attended with worship through the mantra<\/em> consisting of eighteen transcendental letters, transcendental words contained in the said mantra<\/em> being differently placed make a manifestation of only one l\u012bl\u0101<\/em> of \u015ar\u012b K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. As for example kl\u012b\u1e41 k\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47\u0101ya govind\u0101ya gop\u012bjana-vallabh\u0101ya sv\u0101h\u0101<\/em>\u2014this is a hexagonal mantra<\/em> consisting of six transcendental words, viz., (1) k\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47\u0101ya,<\/em> (2) govind\u0101ya,<\/em> (3) gop\u012bjana,<\/em> (4) vallabh\u0101ya,<\/em> (5) sv\u0101,<\/em> (6) h\u0101.<\/em> These six transcendental words, when placed juxtapositionally, indicate the mantra.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The hexagonal great transcendental machinery is in this wise. The principal seed, i.e. kl\u012b\u1e41,<\/em> is situated in the instrument as the central pivot. Anybody with an impression of such an instrument in his mind and concentrating his thought on such spiritual entities, can attain, like Candradhvaja, to the knowledge of the cognitive principle. The word sv\u0101<\/em> indicates k\u1e63etraj\u00f1a<\/em> i.e., one who is conversant with one’s inner self, and the word h\u0101<\/em> indicates the transcendental nature. This meaning of the mantra<\/em> has also been corroborated by \u015ar\u012b Hari-bhakti-vil\u0101sa.<\/em> The general meaning is this that one who is desirous of entering into the esoteric pastimes of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a will have to practice His transcendental service along with the culture of the devotional knowledge relative to Him. (1) k\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a-svar\u016bpa<\/em>\u2014the proper Self of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a; (2) k\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47asya cin-maya-vraja-l\u012bl\u0101-vil\u0101sa-svar\u016bpa<\/em>\u2014the true nature of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a’s transcendental pastimes in Vraja; (3) tat-parikara-gop\u012bjana-svar\u016bpa<\/em>\u2014the true nature of His spiritual associates in Vraja, viz., the spiritual milkmen and the milkmaids; (4) tad-vallabha<\/em>\u2014the true nature of self-surrender to K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a in the footsteps of the spiritual milkmaids of Vraja; (5) \u015buddha-j\u012bvasya cid-(j\u00f1\u0101na)-svar\u016bpa<\/em>\u2014the true nature of the spiritual knowledge of the unalloyed individual soul; (6) cit-prak\u1e5btir arth\u0101t k\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a-sev\u0101-svabh\u0101va<\/em>\u2014the true nature of transcendental service to K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a is this that the esoteric relation is established on the awakening of one’s pure cognition. The meaning is that rasa<\/em> is only the transcendental service of the central refuge \u015ar\u012b K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a, as predominating aspect of the Absolute, by one’s ego as the spiritual maid of the predominated moiety of the absolute integer, attended with pure devotion in the shape of one’s entire self-surrender. The pastime in Goloka or in Gokula during the stage of devotional progress, is the meditative worship through the mantra,<\/em> and during the stage of perfection the pastimes manifest themselves as the unrestrained transcendental jubilations. This is the real aspect of Goloka or Gokula, which will be made more explicit in due course. The meaning of the words jyot\u012b-r\u016bpe\u1e47a manun\u0101<\/em> [Bs. 5.3] is that the transcendental meaning is expressed in the mantra<\/em> by means of which, on transcendental desire of love for K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a and the service of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a being added, one is established in the eternal love of K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a. Such eternal pastimes are eternally manifested in Goloka.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
