Pages in category "The Nectar of Devotion Chapter 40 - Reverential Devotion of Sons and Other Subordinates"
The following 65 pages are in this category, out of 65 total.
A
- A devotee's transcendental love for Krsna is increased, and his combined feelings are called reverential devotion
- A person who has actually established his relationship with Krsna can no longer act on the material plane, and his personal character cannot be criticized
- A similar satisfaction was observed when Krsna returned from the battlefield of Kuruksetra to His home at Dvaraka
- All of His sons were so overjoyed that, out of ecstasy, they repeatedly made many mistakes. These mistakes were a sign of complete satisfaction
- Although such persons may be very anxious to establish a relationship with Krsna in conjugal love, their conditioned life in the material world is still most abominable
- Arjuna said, "Although Abhimanyu was killed almost in Your (Krsna's) presence, Subhadra's love for You is not agitated at all, nor has it even slightly changed its original color"
E
H
- He (Krsna) addressed Pradyumna thus, "My dear boy, just give up your inferiority complex, and do not hang your neck"
- He (Krsna) is our supreme master. Because we have become so proud and confident of His protecting us, we sometimes do not even care about fighting with Tripurari (Lord Siva)
- He (Pradyumna) said, "I do not even wish to stay at Dvaraka in the absence of my father (Krsna)"
- He (Pradyumna) said, "Since my father has left Dvaraka, I do not take much pleasure in practicing fighting, nor am I interested in any kind of sporting pastimes"
I
- In addition to jubilation, there are sometimes symptoms of disappointment. Pradyumna once addressed Samba with these words
- In fact, he never so much as unlocked the lips of his mouth, nor did he ever show his face filled with tears. He would always glance only at the lotus feet of his father
- In order to assure Krsna that there was no change of love on Subhadra's part, Arjuna informed Him
- In other words, devotees who are engaged in reverential devotional service should not discuss the conjugal love affairs of Krsna
- In other words, the club in Balarama's hand offered its own respects to Krsna
- In the conditioned state of life, the devotees have to execute the prescribed duties as recommended in the codes of devotional service
- In the premature stage it is sometimes found that a lusty, conditioned person will artificially try to establish some relationship with Krsna in conjugal love. The result of this is that one becomes prakrta-sahajiya
- In this reverential devotional attitude, Pradyumna never talked to his father in a loud voice
- It seemed at that time that all the hairs on the bodies of the princes were dancing in ecstasy
K
- Krsna addressed Pradyumna, "There is no need of exhibiting so much reverence before your father"
- Krsna addressed Pradyumna, "You can look straight at Me, and you can place your hands on My body without any hesitation"
- Krsna said to Pradyumna, "Just talk with Me in a clear voice, and do not shed tears"
O
P
- Pradyumna addressed Prabhavati at that time and said: "My dear Prabhavati, just look at the head of our family, Sri Krsna: He is Visnu Himself, the supreme driver of Garuda
- Pradyumna felt great separation from Krsna when He was absent from Dvaraka at the battlefield of Kuruksetra
- Pradyumna said, "My dear Samba, you are such a glorified personality! I have seen that once when you were playing on the ground, your body became covered with dust"
- Pradyumna said, "Our father, Lord Krsna, still took you (Samba) up on His lap. But I am so unfortunate that I could never get such love from our father!" This statement is an example of disappointment in love
- Pradyumna's attachment for Krsna was always exhibited by his action. Whenever he was ordered by his father to execute something, he would immediately execute the order, taking the task as nectarean even though it may have been poison
- Pradyumna's attachment in anxiety for Krsna was expressed when he said to his wife Rati: "The enemy, Sambara, is already killed. Now I am very anxious to see my father, who is my spiritual master and who always carries the conchshell known as Pancajanya
- Pradyumna's bodily features resembled Krsna's exactly
- Pure devotees of Krsna glorify Pradyumna because he is so fortunate: like father like son
S
T
- The affection that Krsna has for His devotees was expressed by Himself when He asked Pradyumna not to feel so bashful before Him
- The best examples of this subordination are Sarana, Gada and Subhadra. They were all members of the Yadu dynasty, and they used to always think themselves protected by Krsna
- The members who always thought themselves protected by Krsna could readily convert their conviction into practical demonstration
- There are two kinds of devotees engaged in devotional service with awe and veneration, and the servitors in the abode of Dvaraka always worship Krsna as the most respectable and revered Personality of Godhead
- There is a description in the Hari-vamsa of Pradyumna's activities when he kidnapped Prabhavati
- There is another example of steady and fixed love for Krsna in the instance of Arjuna's informing Him of the death of Arjuna's son, Abhimanyu, who was also the nephew of Krsna
- These are signs of ecstasy and veneration unto the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- These feelings of subordination, as explained above, are sometimes manifested as anubhava
- These signs of reverential devotion on the part of Pradyumna can be described in the same way they have been described in the case of other devotees
- They (Krsna's son) were very silent and steady, and they used to restrain coughing and laughing before the Lord
- They (Krsna's sons) never discussed Krsna's pastimes in conjugal love
- They are captivated by Krsna because of His super-excellent opulences
- To regard Krsna as one's superior is called reverential feeling, and when, in addition to this, a devotee feels that Krsna is his protector
W
- When Cupid came on one occasion to visit Lord Krsna, some devotee addressed him thus: "My dear Cupid, because you have been so fortunate as to have placed your eyesight on the lotus feet of Krsna"
- When demigods from the heavenly planets came to Sri Krsna, all of Krsna's sons followed them, and Lord Brahma sprinkled water from his kamandalu upon them
- When Krsna's sons dined with Him, they would sometimes open their mouths for Krsna to feed them
- When one is mature in devotional service and is a realized soul, he can know his own eternal relationship with Krsna
- When Pradyumna came back home after killing the Sambarasura, and as soon as he saw his father, Krsna, before him, he became so overjoyed that he himself could not understand his joy on that occasion
- When present before Krsna, they (Krsna's sons) bowed down on the ground
- When the demigods came before Krsna, instead of sitting on golden chairs, the sons sat down on the floor, which was covered with deerskin
- When the princes of the Yadu dynasty heard the vibration of Krsna's Pancajanya conchshell, the hairs on their bodies immediately stood up in ecstatic jubilation
- When this steady reverential devotion increases further, it is called love of Godhead in reverential devotion. Attraction and affection are two prominent symptoms of this stage
- Whenever he would find something to be disapproved of by his father, he would immediately reject it as poison, even though it may have been nectarean
- While Krsna was blessing the son's head by smelling it, the others would shed tears, thinking how many pious activities he must have performed in his previous life
