Brahma's vision of the all-pervading cosmic form of Sri Krishna
Sri Krishna came to the banks of the Yamuna without finding the cows, says Srinardji, but did not even see the cows and goats there. While looking for both calves and herdsmen, he thought, 'This is the work of Brahma. Subsequently, Lord Krishna, the universal lawgiver, divided himself into two halves with a view to giving joy to the cows and the gopis. They themselves lived in one part and created all the calves and bulls from the other part. Those people had bodies, hands, feet, etc., like sticks, horns, etc., like temperament and qualities, like ornaments and clothes; Lord Srihari directly showed that this entire universe is Vishnumaya by creating exactly the same creation from his Sri Brahma. It was in the game that Krishna grazed the self-manifested cows and goats by the self-manifested gopas and accompanied them to the Nandalaya at sunset. They took the calves to their respective camps separately and entered their homes as on other days in the guise of their own children. The gopis rose quickly with reverence on hearing the sound of the crescendo and began to milk their young with love. The cows, too, saw their calves approaching and began to lick and milk them. Aha! Gopis and cows became the mother of Srihariki. Gop-Balaka and Govatsa started growing four times more than before due to the increase in affection. The gopis then came to have a darshan of Lord Krishna after rendering loving service to their children through Ubtan-Bhanadike. 1-10 |
After this, many children got married. Now, as Lord Krishna, crores of cowherd wives began to love their husbands and children. Thus a year passed for Srihariko while protecting his soul with his own spirit on the pretext of Vatsa-parenting. One day, Balram reached the forest while grazing. By that time, only five-six nights were left for the completion of one year of the capture of Vatsas and Vatsapalas by Brahmaji. Cows were grazing on the top of the mountain in that forest. Seeing the calves grazing on the grass from a distance, she approached them and began to lick them and feed them her nectar-like milk. The king. When they saw that the cows had stopped at the foot of Govardhan because of affection by feeding milk to the calves, they descended from the mountain in a fit of rage and hurried to punish their children. But as they approached (subjugated to Neha), the Gopas took their children to the godown. Everyone, young or old, had tears of affection in their eyes and sat there with their grandchildren. 11-18.
When Sankarshana Balarama thus saw the Gopas in love, he began to have many doubts. He said to his heart - 'Ah! I don't understand what has happened in Vraj for almost a year now. Every day, everyone's heartbeat is increasing more and more. Is it the magic of the gods, the Gandhavas, or the demons? Now I understand that this is nothing but the delusion of Krishna that fascinates me. Thinking this way, Balramji closed his eyes and saw the past, future and present with a divine eye. Balramji saw all the cowherds and the children playing in the foothills of the mountains, adorned with vamsi-vetras, adorned with peacocks, black, garlands of bells and cymbals, garlands of lotuses and kumudini, wearing divine turbans and crowns, adorned with kundals and alakavali, pleasing with autumnal lotus-like eyes, adorned with the beauty of millions of Kamadevas, adorned with the Muktabharana of Nashik, adorned with Shikha-Bhushan, holding ornaments in both hands, wearing yellow clothes, adorned with mekhla, kada, and nupur, with the influence of millions of children and poets, and charming. Balram saw everything black in Vrindavan, from Govardhan to the north and Yamuna to the south. Knowing that this work was done by Brahma and Krishna, he again visited the cowherds and the Vatsapalas and said to Krishna, 'Brahma, Ananta, Dharma, Indra, and Shankar are always serving you with devotion. You are Atmarama, the Supreme Being, God. You are capable of creating millions of universes in nothingness. " 19-30. .
Thus, by darshan, Brahma attained inertia and became unconscious. Realizing that Brahma was unable to see the glory of the God everywhere in the Vrindavan occupied by Vrindadevi, Srihari removed the veil of illusion. Then Brahma was able to open his eyes and see Vrindavan with him with great difficulty, waking up like a sleeper. There he focused at the same time, looking in all ten directions, and having a darshan of the beautiful Sri Vrindavan with its beautiful spring vines. Deer and cubs were playing with the cubs of the tiger there. In hawks and pigeons, there was no innate antagonism between mongooses and snakes. Brahma saw that only Lord Krishna was looking for the beloved cowherd in Vrindavan with a bowl of food in his hand. Seeing Golokapati hiding himself in the guise of Srihariko Gopala and realizing that he was Srihari, Brahmaji was horrified to remember his deed. The king! To appease Krishna, who appeared to be burning around them, Brahmaji alighted from his vehicle and, out of shame, lowered his head. They approached him slowly, bowing to God and saying, "Rejoice!" He fell to the ground like a staff, giving half of the tears of joy that fell from his eyes to the Lord. Lord Krishna lifted and reassured Brahma and touched him like a beloved touching his beloved. Then he looked up at the gods standing far away on the same beautiful land. Then they all began to sing his praises, with loud cheers. Simultaneously, they also began to pay obeisance. Everyone was overjoyed and filled with reverence for Lord Krishna on receiving his benevolence. Seeing the deity at the spot, Brahma bowed down with folded hands and fell to the ground like a danda. Again, they began to praise the Lord with a loud voice. 41-52 |
Thus was completed the eighth chapter under the Sri Vrindavan Khanda in the Srigarghasamhita, 'The vision of the all-pervading cosmic soul of Krishna by Brahma'. 8.
