Srimad Bhagavatam contains the Sruti , the Smriti , Tantra, and Purana.
Srila Jiva Goswami has accepted this authority as bone fide epistemology . Anything outside of that as being not transparent truth , but at the most , mixed speculations that may or may not bring one closer to understanding absolute truth . The absolute truth is spoken in the Bhagavad Gita, by Lord Kṛṣṇa, and subsequently in the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Caitanya Caritamrta, which is regarded as the post graduate study.
Anything calculated utilising the 5 ,(the sences ) the 3 (mind ,intellect or speculations) or the nine , (senses along with sensual experiences) will be tainted with material calculations and it will forever fall within the conditioned modes of material nature.
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 vibration being empowered by Divinity and of the same nature as the absolute . Divinity is always present within the teachings of the 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 those matters and has made all our acaryas teachings accessible and understandable to a world wide audience in recent times .
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. Srila Rupa Goswami intentions were to give some hint of spiritual rasas and the tastes of a spiritual varigatedness with a spiritual body with a spiritual mind ,intelligence, and spiritual senses.
So the technical sneha , mana , pranaya , raga , anuraga, principles are explained by Bharat Muni and adopted by Rupa Goswami. Of course, Rupa Goswami adds the further and higher realms of pure prem and spiritual bhava and mahabhava. Higher explanation of rasa are introduced by Rupa Goswami to take the subject beyond the conception of material rasa that can be experienced to a fractional and limited degree in the material world bringing our attention 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 .
