NARADHA BHAKTHI SUTHRAM – TAMIL UPANYASAM – AUG-21-2020 : Episode 27

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Narada Bakthi Suthram – Chapter 04 – Bakthi Lakshanam:

Sutram 66:

Thri-roopa Bhamgapoorvakam Nithya-dhaasa Nithyakantha Bhajanaathmakam Prema Kaaryam Premaiva Kaaryam!

Thri-roopa Bhamgapoorvakam = One must surpass or give up the acts of three types of Bakthi, Nithya-dhaasa Nithyakantha Bhajanaathmakam = And adopt devotion like an eternal servant or eternal wife,  Prema Kaaryam = do with love and affection, Premaiva Kaaryam = depend only the pure innocent love. 

Meaning: The three-dimensional love must be renounced, (they are under the group of Gauna Bakthi = Sathwa/Uthama/Jignaasu Bakthi, Rajas/Madhyama/Arthaarthi Bakthi, Thamas/Praakrutha/Aarthi Bakthi), and adopt the serving mindset of an eternal servant or eternal wife. Both are 100% committed to their Swamis and don’t hold anything in them as their own. They are fully surrendered to their master, such an attitude towards God is considered as Niraakaara Bakthi or Ghnaana Bakthi. This should be the goal of true devotees known as Para-Bakthan. 

Such devotees quickly merged into God just like a worm is pulled by the flow of water into a river. The devotee will be submerged into God without any specific efforts because of total surrendering. This devotee is a permanent relative of God and God loves him/her beyond estimations. Unless one does Aathma Samarpanam he or she can’t be considered as eternal servant or wife. 

Therefore, every devotee must earn the love of God yes only love of God nothing other than that!

Fourth Chapter completed here: Hare Krishna!

Narada Bakthi Suthram – Chapter 05 – Bakthi Mahima:

This chapter deals with the importance of devotion and devotees!

Sutram 67:

Baktha Eakandhino Mukhyaaha!

Baktha = Devotees, Eakandhino = A non-dual attachment, Mukhyaaha = Important.

Meaning:  Devotees who are exclusively attached to God are his best of devotees. God always think of them likewise devotees always think of God. Both of them are mutually and eternally connected. After developing this connection it will never break the bond and both of them lives in oneness!.

Those who attained Godhood are considered to be Mukhya Bakthaas. This Mukhya Bakthaas fall under fourth division of devotees. They have seen God in person and interacted with him/her.  

Sutram 68:

Khandaavarodha-Romaanjaa-srubhihi Parasparam Lapamaanaaha Paavayandhi Kulaani Prithiveem Cha!

Khandaavarodha-Romaanjaa-srubhihi = Struggle in talking or explaining, thrilled, goose-bumped, tears rolled out of eyes, Parasparam = each other, Lapamaanaaha = talking to another, Paavayandhi = Purifies, Kulaani = the entire clan, Prithiveem Cha = and this earth or wherever they lived. 

Meaning: Whenever and wherever they hear or see their God’s glories being heard or seen, they get thrilled and goose-bumped, moreover they can’t converse the feeling they are undergoing with others because no words will come out of their throat since it will be choked. That is the type of feeling Mukhya Bakthas are experiencing! We are fortunate to take birth in Bharata Varsham, imagine, how many innumerable such Mukhya Baktaas took birth in this holy land and cherished the glories of God. If I have to write at-least 1000+ such devotees can be referred. In fact, I am losing control of my fingers while typing this narration. 

Such devotees purify their clan (family), liberate their Pithrus, the land where they lived, the place they visit, the people who interacted with them all got transformed their life. Such devotees are rare and if anyone comes across them in their life are the luckiest in this earth. That is the greatness of a genuine Mukhya Bakthaas.
