If one does not hear the proper details of
the devotional science [from the disciplic
succession], then genuine service to the Lord
can never be performed. One absorbed in the
various material ingredients of the bodily
concept of life can never properly hear the
Lords transcendental pastimes. (77)

BEGGAR OF PREMA
Part Two
Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami Maharaja
After Krishna had assumed a form with a
shaved head and a saffron-colored
garmentVrinda-devi taught Him this song:
rmate rdhe baa abhimn
vmya-bhva iromai
yma sari age cchdana
tava tapta-kcana varaa
eta dna chile pagali ri
knu preme pra sampi

Sannys hkura
When Krishna arrived at the gate of
Radharanis kuja, Lalita and Vishakha saw
the beautiful sannys and heard this wonderful
song. Lalita inquired, O sannys hkura.
Where did You learn such a nice song?
The sannys hkura said, I have a guru. Her
name is Gandharvika. I have learned it from Her.
Then Vishakha asked, Why have You come here?
What do You want, sannys hkura?
I am a sannys. I dont want anything from
this material world. I have given up
everything because I am a beggar of prema
only, prema-bhikhr.
Vishakha said, All right, sannys hkura.
My dear sakh is very distressed. She is in a
dying condition. Her fate is very bad, ill-fated.
O sannys hkura, can You calculate the
fortune of my pra-sakh?
Oh yes, I know how to do it.
Who has taught You?
Oh, I have learned from My guru,
Gandharvika. She has taught Me all these
things.
Hearing this, Vishakha asked, Sannys
hkura, will You come into the kuja to
calculate the fortune of our pra-sakh? Then
Youll get Her blessings. By my sakhs blessings
You will definitely get prema.
The sannys hkura said, Yes, why not? I must
go because I am greedy for that prema-dhana.
Therefore I have put on this sannysa-vea. I am
a beggar of prema, prema-bhikhr, so I must go.
Then they took the sannys hkura into the
kuja. Lalita entered into the inner chamber
where Radharani was lying, and reported to
Her that a wonderful sannys hkura had
come. In the meantime, Vishakha requested
Him, Sannys hkura, will You please sing
that very nice song You were singing? I want
to hear that sweet song. Will You sing it?
Sannys hkura said, Yes, why not? That
is My favourite song. Then He started to sing.

That is what Raya Ramananda saw when
Mahaprabhu showed him His real form:
pahile dekhilu tomra sannysi-svarpa
ebe tom dekhi mui yma-gopa-rpa
Ramananda Raya told Lord Sri Chaitanya: At
first I saw You appear like a sannys, but now I
am seeing You as Syamasundar, the cowherd
boy. [Cc. madhya 8. 268]

Indebted
This is how Krishna has to cry. Krishna has
to cry and become a sannys begging for rdhprema, the love of Radharani. Krishna says,
Otherwise I cannot pay back the debt na
praye, na praye. I have become indebted.
na praye ha niravadya-sayuj
sva-sdhu-ktya vibudhyu
pi va
y mbhajan durjaya-geha-khal

O gops, I am not able to repay My debt for Your
spotless service, even within a lifetime of
Brahma. Your connection with Me is beyond
reproach. You have worshipped Me, cutting off
all domestic ties, which are difficult to break.
Therefore please let your own glorious deeds be
your compensation. [Bhg. 10.32.22]
Mood Of A Majar
In the meantime, Paurnamasi had
ordered Vrinda-devi to engage all the
majars in decorating the kuja where
Radha and Krishna will sit and swing. So
they have decorated the kuja and swing
for Radha and Krishna. This is the majarbhva-sev. Our mood is this majar-bhva,
and we just offer service to Radha and
Krishna in that mood:

The Divine Couple, Sri Sri Radha and
Krishna, are my life and soul. In life or death
I have no other refuge but Them. In a forest of
small kadamba trees on the bank of the
Yamuna, I will seat the divine couple on a
throne made of brilliant jewels. I will anoint
Their dark and fair forms with sandalwood
paste scented with cuy, and I will fan Them
with a cmara whisk. Oh, when will I behold
Their moonlike faces? After stringing together
garlands of mlat flowers, I will place them
around Their necks, and I will offer tmbla
scented with camphor to Their lotus mouths.
With the permission of all the sakhs headed
by Lalita and Vishakha, I will serve the lotus
feet of Radha and Krishna. Narottam Das, the
servant of the servant of Sri Krishna
Chaitanya Prabhu, longs for this service to
the Divine Couple. [Prrthan song 40]
