Good job on this and you are helping and encouraging many devotees. I wanted to share as a alternative idea to explore from my own Bajan experience I am beginning to get why their has been a disagreement in this Siddha pranali controversy where Bhaktisidhanta Saraswati Thakur did not seem to emphasise it like the bhabajis initiated into siddha pranali, including his own brother. I can see by what you say you are personal committed that it is most essential to be intiated into the Siddha Pranali process inorder to go deeper in Radha Krishna worship. Personally I believe both views of emphasis on or not emphasis on going through the Siddha Pranali process as viable ways to make it to the platform of Radha/Krishna loving service. The latter is based on my own years developing experience. I have went the route of taking shelter of Lord Caitanya and his associates intensely. After so many years and so many twists and turns, successes and bewilderments and getting up after falling on my face many times, by the grace of Lord Caitanya , the attraction, mood and the desire to serve as a maid servant of the queen of Vrndavana is spontaneously developing. This is not in the mood of boasting here. To be honest I am astounded by the mercy of Lord Caitanya to work such a miracle with a fallen fool like myself and I would love to see many more miracles like this and already am seeing encouraging results in our sanga. As you mention bhakti is rare and even rarer is Vraja bhakti! I mention my personal experience and this path only as a workable alternative that actually works based on my own experience and I have not heard of any others who actually are getting such results yet, as I don't think many have went down this road or know clearly that such a road exists. Nectar Moon of Lord Caitanya praises this road, yet I have not met many who understand the intentions and teachings of Prabhodanana Saraswati Thakur about the potency of Lord Caitanya to make up the difference.

But as with the ishta-nishtha of choosing one specific deity form, we also need to strengthen and deepen our devotion by picking one mood, etc., and sticking to it.Jagadananda Dashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05887720845815026518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31351038.post-11421956545894098682011-11-16T17:25:17.162-05:002011-11-16T17:25:17.162-05:00praNAm
