Category:Establishing Relationship with Krsna
Theme Analysis
The Kṛṣṇa consciousness movement aims to train humanity in reestablishing their eternal relationship with the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Śrīla Prabhupāda explains that this relationship (sambandha) is inherent but forgotten. It is revived through the process of bhakti-yoga, specifically by accepting a bona fide spiritual master and worshiping the Deity Madana-mohana. This relationship is not limited to awe and reverence; Kṛṣṇa is prepared to relate with the soul as a master, friend, son, or lover. However, Śrīla Prabhupāda warns against artificially jumping to the stage of conjugal love without purifying the heart, as this leads to sahajiyaism. True relationship is evidenced by a transformation of character where one acts solely for Kṛṣṇa's pleasure.
- The Process: The relationship is established by connecting with the bona fide spiritual master and worshiping Madana-mohana.
- The Variety: There are twelve kinds of rasas, including servitude, friendship, parenthood, and conjugal love.
- The Warning: Prematurely trying to establish a conjugal relationship while still lusty makes one a prakrta-sahajiya.
- The Result: Once established, the devotee's character becomes flawless, and they are situated above the material plane.
- Universal Love: Reestablishing the link with Kṛṣṇa is the only way to establish true universal brotherhood with all living beings.
