True Krishna Consciousness: A Metaphysical Reflection

In the eternal dance of existence, Krishna, the Supreme Purusha, turns inward to venerate His śakti, the essence of His being. puruṣasya śakti-upāsane, the worship of His divine energy, reveals the profound intimacy of the Absolute. This śakti is none other than Śrī Rādhā, the embodiment of hlādinī, the bliss-giving energy. rādhā-bhajana-sukha-śālī, Krishna finds the pinnacle of joy in the devotion and love of Rādhā, His eternal counterpart.

True Krishna consciousness awakens us to this divine interplay, where Krishna seeks the infinite joy of Rādhā’s selfless love, and Rādhā offers Her entire being in service to Krishna. rādhā-bhāva-kānti-ācchādita-mūrtiḥ, Krishna, cloaked in Rādhā’s mood and effulgence as Śrī Caitanya, embodies the ultimate truth of their eternal bond.

Here, divine love reigns supreme—not as a merging of identities but as an unending exchange of devotion. tad-ekātmakaṁ tattvaṁ, the singular reality of their union, reflects the highest ideal of existence: a transcendent relationship where love becomes both the path and the goal, illuminating the infinite beauty of unity in duality.

Maniratnam, Raavanan and Ramayana

-
Last week the movie Ravanan got released in multiple languages – Hindi, tamil, telugu. Its a ManiRatnam magnum opus scripted around the character of Ravana – the ten headed villain in Hindu epic Ramayana. Its about exploring the ten different characters in the same person and how they interact, conflict each other. Is it like a multiple personality disorder? I don’t know – haven’t seen the movie. There is a recent spate of movies based on our holy epics. If Rajneeti by Prakash Jha was a take on Mahabharatha, Mani’s version is inspired by Ramayana. In fact this is a first take on Ramayan being used as base for modern day story telling. Mani has to be credited for his creativity and for going in the direction of unexplored waters. What are these epics? Are they just stories, fables or reality? What makes them holy?

Jadananda and cidananda

-
Recently went on a spiritual vacation to Navadwip. Spiritual vacations are little austere to the material body. We adjust with simple accomodation and pilgrim food. This austerity helps us to be rich in cidananda or conscious pleasure. Can Jadananda and cidananda coexist? I think before going to this question we need to understand the significant difference between the two. Jadananda is the ordinary pleasures of this world. Jadananda is the feeling of happiness derived from the interaction or friction of sense objects with the senses. When there is friction between good food with the taste buds of the tongue, jadananda is generated. Similarly all material gross pleasures are born out of friction. Jadananda is of 2 types - the gross and the subtle. The subtle Jadananda is experienced when we deal emotionally by giving meaning to material identities. Ananda due to the interaction between father and daughter is one of the examples.

Avatar the movie and Bhagavad Gita

Viewing James cameron's Avatar on 3D is an amazing experience. The fact of building an alter ego which is fit to live among the Navi community and being able to control that with the present human body is an amazing concept. It all started with the matrix series where you could enter the matrix using a similar setup. What is building an alter ego? Is it giving rise to another individual to satisfy unsatiated desires, which is possible in the alter ego. Websites like 'Secondlife.com' is a very poor version of the alterego
