The Method of Bhajana

Bhajana-pranali

Glory to Gadai-Gauranga! Glory to Nityananda! Glory to the Lord of Sita and the devotees of Gaura.

Glories, glories, to the fortunate Mahajanas who renounce everything for the bhajana of Hari-nama.

The Lord said: O Hari Dasa, by your bhakti you have all the knowledge in the world.

I watch the Vedas dancing on your tongue and see how your words are all full of siddhanta.

An inquiry into Nama-rasa

Nama-rasa-jijnasa

Please clearly describe nama-rasa and how the Jiva can become eligible to experience it.

Feeling much love, Hari Dasa said: Because you command me, I will be able to describe it.

The Science of Rasa

Rasa-tattva

All the Vedas glorify what is called rasa as being of the same spiritual substance as para-tattva, which is the purest truth.

Parabrahma is undivided rasa. He is the abode of limitless bliss, and His glories are the greatest.

He manifests as the sakti[1] and the saktiman[2]. While these are not different, they appear to be different due to visesa[3].

 

[1] Potency or energy.

[2] The possessor of potencies.

[3] Visesa means difference. In this case there is a functional difference between sakti and saktiman but not in quality because they are of the same substance.
