when person becomes true devotee?

Radhe Radhe sabko,

Jaisa ki meine apne last blog Gopi cheerharan leela mein bataya, ki insaan ko bhagwaan se milne ke liye vaasna jaise vikaar se mukt hona padta hai, tabhi insaan bhagwaan ko paa sakta hai.

Apne inhi vikaar ke karan hi gopiyan shri krishna ka anubhav nhi kar paa rahi thi, but gopi cheerharan leela ke baad unka vikaar shri krishna ne door kar diya.

Mein aap sabko ek story sunata hun is sandharbh mein:

Ek Sant ke paas thi paras mani(lohe ko sparsh se lohe ko sona bana deti h).
koi ek insaan uska chela ban gaya.
wo insaan bhagwad bhajan aur bhagwad naam ke liye nahi, balki us paaras mani ko churane ke liye Sant ka chela ban gaya tha.
ab sant kumbh ke mele mein snan karne chala gaya, aur peeche se us chele ne poora aashram dhundh liya.
jab use wah paras mani nahin mili, to usne kutiya ko hi khodna shuru kar diya.
Jab Sant ji wapis aaye, to unhone pucha ye tune kyun kiya.
Chele se sab baat sach sach bata di.
to Sant ji ne kaha, wo khidki par padi to hai paras mani.
jab chele ne khidki mein jakar dekha, to usmein lohe ki dibiya(dibbi) thi.
Chele ne bola ye to mere haath mein kafi baar aayi, par meine ise phenk diya, kyunki ye dibbi to lohe ki hai.
agar ismein paras mani hoti , to ye dibbi sone ki ban jati.

Jab sant ne us dibiya ko khola, to paras mani ek aavaran(covering) mein lipti hui thi.
isliye lohe ki dibiya sone ki nahin ban paa rahi thi.

Phal Shruti(Lesson):
is kahani se humein ye lesson milta hai, ki hum to hai hi thakur ji ke.
bas is vaasna(vikaar) ke aavaran(covering) ke karan hum thakur ji se mil nahin paa rahe hain.
jis din ye vikaar hamare andar se mit jate hain, us din hum thakur ji ke ho jayenge.
jab ye jeev apne aap ko thakur ji ko samarpit kar deta hai, thakur ji kripa karke ye aavaran hata dete hain
aur hamesha ke liye humein apna bana lete hain.

Who is Gopi and What is venu geet

Radhe radhe ,

In this post, i want to explain who is real Gopi and what is Venu Geet.

Actually, if someone is gopi, it is not based on gender, male and female can both be Gopi.

The only thing needed is full devotion towards shri krishna.
Our love towards shri krishna can be as a sakha, gopi, bhakt or whatever you may like.
Important thing to act as Gopi is, we need not be a female. As a male also, we can treat ourselves as gopi.

Shukdev ji says to Pariksheet:

Whatever Leela Shri krishna used to do in the woods, every gopi could see it from their own house.
Due to deep love with Shri krishna, they had powers of doordarshan, door shravan(listen and see from long distance).
Shri Krishna used to start playing flute along the bank of Shri Yamuna, and gopis used to say to each other:

Mohan ki murli baaji re, yamuna ke teer
(Krishna playing flute, along the bank of Yamuna river)

1) Murli baja ke man har leena, kaise bandhaoo dheer...baji re
(He has taken my heart by playing flute, how i contol myself)

2) kali kamaliya, kale kanhaiya, kala hai yamuna ka neer...baji re

3) na tan bas mein, na man bas mein, kaisi sakhi se peer...baji re

4) rom rom mohan man baitha, bandhi prem zanzeer....baji re

I like this bhajan a lot and can be sung/listened all day long by krishna bhakt.


Gopis saw that Shri Krishna is entering in Vrindavan with friends,
unke sheesh par mor ka pankh hai(peacock feathers on his head), kaner ka phool to ek h par kaan do h, shareer par peela peetambar h(body has yellow cloth).
gale mein vaijanti maala hai, shri krishna baansuri bajate chal rahe hain(Shri krishna is walking by playing flute).

Murli manohar ki bansuri sun kar uski madhur taaan ka jo varnan kiya, usi ka naam Venu Geet hai.
(By listening this beautiful flute, Gopis explained this voice in words which is called Venu Geet)
