Listen to the keertan and lecture by Swamiji delivered in Cuttack ashram!
कबहुँ सखि हमहुँ देखिहौं श्याम ।
बहुत दिनन ते गुनन सुनति हौं कोटि काम अभिराम ।
अंग अंग जनु चुवत सुधारस अस कह सब ब्रजबाम ।
इक तो सुनति चपल चितवनि ते बिके सबै बिनु दाम ।
दूजो सुनति मधुर मृदु मुसुकनि होत सबै बेकाम ।
कह 'कृपालु' इक और मुरलिधुनि धायल कर अविराम ॥
बहुत दिनन ते गुनन सुनति हौं कोटि काम अभिराम ।
अंग अंग जनु चुवत सुधारस अस कह सब ब्रजबाम ।
इक तो सुनति चपल चितवनि ते बिके सबै बिनु दाम ।
दूजो सुनति मधुर मृदु मुसुकनि होत सबै बेकाम ।
कह 'कृपालु' इक और मुरलिधुनि धायल कर अविराम ॥
(Prem Ras Madira)
Shree Krishna gave viraha (separation) to the Gopis of Braj and went to Dwarika. There He stayed with 16,108 queens. Due to this, few people think that, love of the queens towards Shree Krishna was greater than that of Gopis, otherwise why would He leave them for the queens? But, Shree Kripaluji Maharaj says that it is not so in the realm of Divine love. In the realm of Divine love, viraha bhaw is the highest bhaw and since love of Gopis was of highest level they got separation from Him not the queens. Swamij deals with the topic of viraha bhaw in reference to the above padh where Shree Maharajji is describing the longing of Gopis to have darshan of Shree Krishna.
