Sri Krishna Janmashtami

Namaskaram🙏
The discourse you delivered today on the occasion of Sri Krishna Janmashtami was truly wonderful and deeply philosophical. Based on the essence of your discourse, I have expressed the understanding I received as a Jnana Bodham—a spiritual insight into the Supreme Truth.

In your discourse, you mentioned that when Sri Krishna performed the Rasa Leela, there was one Gopi between two Krishnas and one Krishna between two Gopis. I reflected upon this teaching and compared it with the profound principle mentioned in the Vijnana Bhairava Tantra.

It is stated there that there exists a subtle gap between the outgoing breath and the incoming breath, and also between the incoming breath and the outgoing breath. That subtle interval is Pure Awareness; it is the abode of the Bhairava Shakti.

The Gopis, in this understanding, represent the movements of Pranas within each individual. Therefore, your reference to them as Prathibimba—reflections—was indeed very appropriate.

The subtle interval between the two movements of Pranas is Absolute Bliss, Infinite Bliss. This interval itself is the formless Reality of Sri Krishna. It was especially beautiful that you pointed to this truth at several places in your discourse.

From that subtle interval arises the Anahata Nadam—the unstruck, primordial sound. This is the divine Venu Gana you referred to: a sound beyond language and beyond the seven musical notes, continuously resonating within.

There cannot be any living being—that is, any Prathibimba or reflection—that remains untouched by the enchantment of this divine Venu Gana. This profound truth too Your discourse beautifully indicated this profound truth as well. in your discourse.

When the Pranas—the Gopis—listen to this divine Venu Gana, Sri Krishna stands in the center. And when that Venu Gana resounds, there is an inward revelation of Pure Awareness within the two subtle intervals: between these two expressions of Krishna, there exists one Gopi—that is, either an in-breath or an out-breath.

Thus, your entire discourse seemed to unfold this profound Jnana: between every two movements of Pranas, Sri Krishna—the Pure Awareness—reveals Himself as the subtle, formless Reality.

It is truly by His Grace that such a discourse came together in this manner.

In other words, within every human being who has taken birth, Sri Krishna’s divine Venu Gana is continuously resounding. When, by the Grace of the Guru, one’s Pranas are transformed into those of a Gopi—when the Prana becomes inwardly receptive to that divine music—Sri Krishna Himself plays the Venu Gana for that individual and performs the Rasa Leela with their Pranas.

And, as you beautifully indicated in your discourse, He bestows upon them the Moksha Samrajya—the incomparable Kingdom of Liberation, a state to which nothing in this world can be compared.
This is the clarity of Jnana that my guru has bestowed upon me through your discourse.
My heartfelt gratitude.
