The Epistemology and etymology of the Srimad Bhagavatam….what is acceptable, what is rejected and how trancendental realisations are as a gift of Divinity…
Srimad Bhagavatam contains Sruti , Smriti ,Tantra , and the Puranas.
Jiva Goswami has accepted these authorive sources as authorative according to the specific needs of individuals , which differ , and that are progressive , allowing the natural flow from one source to another . The tantra being more for conditioned persons and the Smriti, especially the more Rasika portions of Rupa and Ragganatha Goswami’s writings, is for highly advanced devotees The Vedic bone fide epistemology , the system of trancendental knowledge, is discussed by Srila Jiva Goswami in his Sandarbha series . Initial enquiries , then engaging in more direct services with Krishna , and then the achievements of loving Krishna and being accepted by Him . Anything outside of the teachings of the Goswami’s or the Sruti , Puranas and Tantra will not be transparent truth , but at the most , mixed speculations that may or may not bring one close to understanding something of the absolute truth . Truth is spoken in the Bhagavad Gita by Lord Kṛṣṇa , and Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita both recommended and quoted authority . The Srimad Bhagavatam and the Caitanya Caritamrta are authorative sources. The Caitanya Caratamrita is regarded as the postgraduate study of Gaudia sampradaya teachings .
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 .This means 5 knowledge acquiring senses , 5 active senses, and the 3 are the 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 and materialism.
Trancendental vibrations are empowered by Divinity and are of the same nature as the absolute . Divinity is always attributed to the teachings of the genuine Sadhus , and genuine Guru’s . The Sastra of the Bramha Gaudia sampradaya are inspired directly by Divinity and written by devotees who fully realise the spiritual kingdoms . Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur had begun to present these topics to a Western audience, and his son Srila Bhaktisiddanta Sarasvati Goswami Maharaja the spiritual master of Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami took matters further . Srila A.C. BHAKTIVEDANTA Swami has taken these trancendental matters and has made the param para acaryas accessible through his teachings .Thanks to Srila AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, a world knows of Krishna consciousness.
While pantheism asserts that “all is God”, panentheism claims that God is greater than the universe.
Gaudia Tattva, explain that
God is both the universe and not the universe , thus, the full truth of Divinity is given in the Srimad Bhagavatam. He is everywhere but nowhere. His trancendental mysteries are discussed in His Bhagavad Gita.
The following explains how different parts of the Vedas , that are indirectly connected to ultimate trancendental 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 in order to explain something of the origins of unlimited rasa of the spiritual realms . From the reflected spiritual realms, we find fragments of material worlds , like a broken shattered mirror, in the material world, there is no full complete picture , just hints of something. Srila Rupa Goswami intentions are to give some hint of spiritual rasas and trancendental mellows . Portraying the spiritual bodies with spiritual minds along with trancendental intelligence and pure spiritual ever new senses.
The technical terms “sneha , mana , pranaya , raga , anuraga ” and bhava principles are explained in material terms by Bharat Muni and these have been spiritually adopted by Rupa Goswami , although the further and higher realms of pure prem and mahabhava , higher explanation of rasa , is introduced by Rupa Goswami to take the subject beyond the conception of material emotions. Hints of unlimited ecstatic love are dreamed about and written about in songs or operas . So hints may be experienced to a limited degree , pointing to something greater , bringing us to hanker after unlimited trancendental rasa. That is Rasa is displyed exclusively in Goloka Vrndavana wherein the 64 excellences of spiritual unlimited qualities are displayed, which are ever increasing and are an ever new experience causing increasing unlimited bliss in loving affairs.
