<\/a><\/a>Anubhava is derived from Vibhava<\/span><\/h2>\n

Vibhava haite anubhava<\/span><\/p>\n

When vibhava is fully experienced, anubhava arises. These are all transformations of prema, which are made up of suddha-prema.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>Rasa arises from Sthayi-bhava when activities in Vibhava are mixed with Sancari-bhava and Sattvika-bhava<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sancari-bhava o sattvika-misre vibhava kriya kare, sthayi-bhavai rasa haya<\/span><\/p>\n

When sancari-bhava and sattvika-bhava arise and sthayi-bhava is added to them, rasa manifests. This is mentioned by all Sastra.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>The gradual path to reach it<\/span><\/h2>\n

Taha paibara krama<\/span><\/p>\n

I know that rasa is the essence of all things, the very essence of perfection. I accept that all Sastra say that it is the supreme goal of human existence.<\/span><\/p>\n

By the mercy of a pure spiritual master, a Jiva who is desirous of bhakti achieves the fortune of attaining the Divine Names of the wonderful Divine Couple.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recite those Names by chanting a prescribed number with tulasi beads, or chant in a kirtana aloud.<\/span><\/p>\n

One should begin by chanting a grantha of the Name[1]<\/a>. Gradually one will meditate on three lakhs of the Holy Names[2]<\/a> and all desires will be fulfilled.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Name gives shelter to the nine processes of bhakti, however kirtana and remembering are the best of all.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>The different qualifications and activities that lead to the path of Arcana, hearing and chanting<\/span><\/h2>\n

Arcana-marga o sravana-kirtanera adhikara-bhede kriya-bheda<\/span><\/p>\n

One who is attached to the path of arcana attains the perfection of sravana and kirtana[3]<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

One who has steadfast affection for the Name engages only in sravana, kirtana and smriti.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>The gradual process of hearing and chanting the Name<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nama sravana-kirtana-smarane ye krama<\/span><\/p>\n

Service, offering obeisance, the feeling of service, friendship and surrendering oneself arise naturally from association with the Name.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sitting in a secluded place, you must renounce the ten offenses with the certainty that the nama and nami[4]<\/a> are one in tattva.<\/span><\/p>\n

In a few days, one attains the mercy of the Name, and the form of Sri Syamasundara will manifest.<\/span><\/p>\n

When the Name and the form become identical during sadhana, during the chanting of the Name, the form appears in the heart at all times.<\/span><\/p>\n

After a few days, the qualities of the Lord are added along with His form, and one enjoys those divine qualities while remembering Sri Nama.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[1]<\/a> One grantha corresponds to four turns of the crown of 108.<\/span><\/p>\n

[2]<\/a> 1 lakh corresponds to 100,000 maha-mantras.<\/span><\/p>\n

[3]<\/a> Listen and chant.<\/span><\/p>\n

[4]<\/a> The Name and the Named.<\/span><\/p>\n
