The Epistemology and etymology of the Srimad Bhagavatam….what is acceptable, what is rejected and how languages of trancendental realsions are inspired from within and given as a gift of Divinity…

Srimad Bhagavatam contains.the .Sruti .Smriti. Tantra and Purana.
Jiva Goswami has accepted this authority as bone fide epistemology , and anything outside of those will not be transparent truth , but at the most , mixed speculations that may  or may not bring one close to understanding absolute truth , a truth spoken in the Bhagavad Gita, by Lord Kṛṣṇa,  and subsequently in the Srimad Bhagavatam and in the Caitanya Caritamrta . This is regarded as the postgraduate study of Gaudia sampradaya teaching.
Anything calculated utilising the 5  the 5 and the 3 will be tainted with material calculations, and it will forever fall within the conditioned modes of material nature., that being 5 knowledge acquiring senses , 5 active senses and the 3 … mind , intelligence, and false ego .


Trancendental topics are described as Pure Subdha brahman , knowledge in suddha sattva or pure goodness, untainted by lust , anger ,greed envy, and illusion pertaining to the body .
Such Trancendental vibrations are being empowered by Divinity and are of the same nature as the absolute . Divinity is always attributed to the teachings of the genuine Sadhus,  Guru’s, and Sastra of the Bramha Gaudia sampradaya . Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur has begun to present these topics to a western audience, and his son Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja the spiritual master took matters further , and Srila A.C.BHAKTIVEDANTA Swami , Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja disciple ,  has taken all these matters and has made all our acaryas  teachings accessible and understandable to a world wide  audience.

While pantheism asserts that “all is God”, panentheism claims that God is greater than the universe.

Gaudia Tattva .
God is both the universe and not the universe , thus the full truth of Divinity is given in the Srimad Bhagavatam.

The following explains how different parts of the Vedas , that are  indirectly connected to ultimate spiritual emotions have been utilised by the great trancendental scholar Srila Rupa Goswami.

Bharat muni  completed his Natya sastra , a study of the rasa of mundane love.
Srila Rupa Gosvami adopted some of the rasa explanation  of Bharat Muni to explain the origins of unlimited rasa  of the spiritual realm from the reflected version that we find in the material worlds , both  in higher , middle and lower planetary systems explained in the fith Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam.  Rupa Goswami intentions were  to give some hint of spiritual rasas and  tastes  of  a spiritual body with spiritual mind ,intelligence and spiritual senses.
So  the technical sneha , mana ,  pranaya , raga , anuraga and bhava principles are explained  by Bharat Muni  and adopted by Rupa Goswami but minus the further and higher realms of pure prem and  mahabhava…that higher explanation of rasa is  introduced by Rupa Goswami to take the subject beyond the conception of material rasa  that can be experienced to a limited degree and is bringing us to the unlimited trancendental rasa displayed in Vraj , wherein the 64 excellences of spiritual unlimited qualities are displayed which are ever increasing and are ever new .
