Pranaya….and oneness and its differences
Difference in pranaya…
The “oneness “of a family or community can be experienced in ones life or the “oneness” or a particular relationship with a particular member of a family or community member can be had .
Similarly it could be thought that Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu brings us His Sankirtana movement and within the congregational chanting we can begin to experience everyone in their relationships and services to Krishna, ultimately that is where congregational chanting brings us in purity , whether we realise it or not we are within Krishna’s lilas , and we are participating, the Holy Name of Krsna is non different full spiritual planes are within including ourselves when we apply ourselves to Nama Sankirtana, although we may not yet know it , but an inkling may awaken .
Personal Jappa meditation may bring an individual to a more ” personal pranaya ” with a deep relationship and an aspiration to serve intimately particular personalities within Goloka Vrndavana , as revealed though the Sruti of the Acarya , and ultimately through the Holy Name and divine grace.
The Holy names can bring anything at any time , there are no hard and fast rules they need to abide by , so congregational chanting or Jappa chanting follow no particular set format .
One should chant following in the footsteps of the Gaudia Vaisnava acaryas and understand their meditations and lives .
Some persons keep emotions to themselves others freely display them , genuine spiritual emotions develop in time for all persons , as Srila BR Sridha Swami says, irresistibly you will find attraction for the all attractive one , KRISHNA means all attractive.
