Jai Shri Krishna

this is as per my limited understanding...

Kaani is like giving a reference... It is because of Shri Mahaprabhuji's, Shri Gusaiji's reference that Shri Thakorji accepts our seva. Otherwise we don't have the right to perform seva independently.

So we are requesting Shri Thakorji to kindly accept our seva through Shri Mahaprabhuji's and Shri Gusaiji's kaani, as we are Shri Mahaprabhuji's, Shri Gusaiji's daas - so we are trying to follow their agyas and instructions when performing seva... and where possible/acceptable, we don't create our own rules/methods (only seva krutir guru agya), etc when performing seva...


grateful for any further calrifications...

Jai shree krishna

Many many thanks jagdish bahi.
There is my next query?
In pushtimarg we worship yamunaji as chaturth priya of thakurji then why radhaji is worshiped in yugal swaroop seva.
_________________

Jai Shri Krishna,

Shri Radhaji is the mukhya swaminiji so in yugal swaroop seva she is the main ...

for this we need to first understand what is "chaturth priya" ?

in this context, chaturth is 4th - so 4th in what way ?

1) Satvik
2) Rajas
3) Tamas
4) Nirgun (this is the 4th) - She is the mukhiya of the nirgun group of jeevs..

we worship Shri Yamunaji as per Shri Mahaprabhuji's instructions in Shri Yamunashtak - besides being capable of bestowing the jeev with other fine qualities, She is the bestower of love towards Shri Thakorji... "Mukund rati vardhini" and is capable of changing the jeevs (and Shri Thakorji's) svabhaav....(Svabhav vijiyo bhavet)

hope this helps..

grateful for further clarifications

Jai shree krishna

So Radhaji can be cassified also as satvik, rajas, tamas and nirgun or something else.not clear?

Jai Shri Krishna

Yes quite right. Each swaminiji is a mukhiya/leader of that particular (sattvik, rajas, tamas, nirgun) group/yuth of gopis/devotees...

However just to clarify (or confuse) further...

In nitya lila everyone is nirgun, but they serve/entertain Thakorji with that specific predominant bhaav to perform the required lilas...

The following gives a basic understanding of various bhaavs and colours

Kesri, Champa, yellow - satvik, mukhya Swaminiji, Radhaji's bhava

red, pink - rajas, Chandravaliji's bhava

green - tamas, Radha sahacheri, kumarika's bhava

blue, purple - nirguna, Yamunaji's bhava.

---

The following article further goes into details

Gopi Geet and nature (types) of Gopis

There are 19 different types of Gopis who took part in singing the Gopi-Geet.

Shruty-rupa Gopis were of nine characters and so were Rushi-rupa-Gopis. The divisions in Maharaas was set according to their swabhava (essential nature) and the swabhava is created from Prakruti (nature). Prakruti is made of three qualities, Satvik (goodness), Rajas (activity) and Tamas (inactivity). In every quality we have further three sub-qualities, so a total of nine qualities.

So all individual Gopis with their individual but unique qualities, surrender to Krishna and wins His heart, and these sagun (good qualities) is then converted by Krishna into Nirguna nature (the duality of qualities disappear).

In the eleventh chapter of Shreemad Bhagvatam, Shree Krishna when speaking to Udhav (His close friend & His minister) explained the different qualities, the characters of His followers, are when surrendered to Him, gains in depth access inside Him “Anything that penetrates into me via total surrender will be automatically converted into ultimate form of Nirguna”.

So it does not matter what swabhava (quality) the Gopis or devotees have, once they cross certain boundary of surrender, they gain the best character suitable for reaching Him (His lilas).


The nine different types of Gopis (per Sri Vallabhacharya’s Subhodini) are:

1. Satvik Rajas
2. Satvik Tamas
3. Satvik Satvik
4. Tamas Rajas
5. Tamas Tamas
6. Tamas Satvik
7. Rajas Rajas
8. Rajas Tamas
9. Rajas Satvik

Jai shree krishna

You are talking about 19 gopis of maharaas. Radhaji and yamunaji was incuded in maharaas???

I know that we worship yamunaji because of shri mahaprabhuji's agya.So Yamunaji is supreme for us. Still in seva of yugal swaroop we do seva of radhaji . Once supreme feeling for yamunaji and then radhji?? It is the problem of bhaav that is confusing me?

Jai Shri Krishna

using the example of Maharas, i am only trying to show the differentiation between the bhaavs (sattvik rajas tamas nirgun).. and Maharas cannot happen without Radhaji and Yamunaji

There is no difference between Radhaji and Yamunaji and they are both equally supreme - they both appeared directly from Shri Thakorji

- Radhaji is Mukhya Swaminiji, She is the anand/alhadini shakti of Shri Thakorji so she plays the role of the leader in thakorjis lilas ...

- Shri Yamunaji is krupa shakti of Shri Thakorji, and She is worshipped as per Shri Mahaprabhuji's agya (for the sake of basic understanding) because she bestows direct krupa on the jeev so the jeev can develop love for thakorji (as per the 8 siddhis/aishwaryas given in yamunashtakam).

Jai shri krushna... / jai shri vallabh...

Shri mahaprabhuji himself is swarup of shri swaminiji...
So also we can indirectly say that shri swaminiji only has given agya to praise shri yamunaji...
There is no difference between any of the mukhya swaminijis of 4 yuths.. as all appeared from shri radhaji... to serve lord krishna in different forms...

This is clearly stated in... one of the kirtan...

"Chausath kala praveen, tadapi bhori..."

Chausath means 64.
Each mukhya swaminiji has 16 divine qualities... ( solah kala )
And 16 x 4 = 64

So shri swaminiji ( shri radhaji ) has all the 64 kalas in herself but still she is very bhori... innocent. ..

Just as there is no difference between shri mahaprabhuji and shri thakurji...
We should also not consider any differences between the mukhya swaminiji of any group...

This is as per my limited understanding. .. please feel free for any corrections. ..

Jai shri vallabh... / jai shri vitthal...
