Words can go no further. All that is beyond can be experienced only by the power of mercy.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is the supreme sadhana leading to ujjvala-rasa[2]<\/a>, by which one attains the treasure of Krishna-prema.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sadhane ekadasa bhava<\/span><\/p>\n

The eleven aspects[3]<\/a> of ujjvala-rasa are: relationship, age, name, form, connection with a particular group, dress, orders, residence, service, one’s highest aspiration, and one’s mood as a dependent servant. This is incomparable.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a>The five phases of Bhava-Sadhana<\/span><\/h2>\n

Bhava-sadhane panca-dasa<\/span><\/p>\n

The complete sadhana of ekadasa-bhava must progress through five specific stages in the life of a sadhaka.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sravana (hearing), varana (acceptance), smarana (remembrance), apana (attainment) and sampatti (full possession) – these are considered the five stages.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

[1]<\/a> The stage where a devotee achieves complete liberation from matter.<\/span><\/p>\n

[2]<\/a> The brilliant rasa.<\/span><\/p>\n

[3]<\/a> Ekadasa-bhava.<\/span><\/p>\n
