1.Delivery of the message of Krishna to the GopisKrishna book 42ndDiscourse

2. RECAP
Intimate associate of Krishna
Has similar bodily features as the Lord
Was sent to Vrindavan by Krishna as a messenger
3. GOPIS SEE UDDHAVA
Awestruck by his beauty and him resembling Krishna
They understood that he had news from Krishna
They accused Krishna of not wanting them since he left them
4. Examples
Bumble bee and flower
Government and Citizen
Teacher and Student
Birds and fruits
5. Gopis forgot about everything during Krishna Katha
6. CHIEF OF THE GOPIS
7. Radharani started talking to a bumblebee
She saw that the bumble bee had a red tinge on the feelers
She accused the bumblebee that it went and touched the flower garland of Krishna when he was with someone else
Did not want anything to do with the messenger
Your master is exactly like you
8. SOURCE OF ALL MAHALAKSHMIS
9. In My Opinion.
Do Not Hear About Krishna
Why?
Even if one drop of his sweet name drops in the ears, we will forget everything including our families, friends, activities etc .
One will wander in search of Krishna
But its very hard to understand Him
Radha was in the topmost ecstacy called Mahabhava
Not to be imitated!
10. The bee suddenly disappeared and she felt mad as she was thinking that it might have gone to inform Krishna about her thoughts.
This is another form of ecstacy!
11. Bee Appeared Again
Krishna is so kind that he has sent the bee back to me even though I sent him negative messages
You have come to take me there?
How is he faring there?
Does he remember his foster parents and the Gopis?
12. Uddhava was standing nearby and hearing her.
Uddhava presented to all the Gopis:
You have attained the highest perfection
You can give up everything including families for Krishna
But Gopis were not interested in this !
13. Uddhava chose to read to them instead of letting them read it
Why?
Krishna couldnt write the message distinctly because he was so moved by the devotion of the Gopis.
14. Uddhava read:
Seperation between ourselves is impossible because I am all pervading
mayatatamidamsarvamjagadavyakta-murtinamat-sthanisarva-bhutaninacahamtesvavasthitah
- By Me, in My unmanifested form, this entire universe is pervaded. All beings are in Me, but I am not in them ( BG 9:4)
15. Uddhava continues:
Gopis are perfect in knowledge of Krishna while the jivas are forgetful
No separation between fire and air so similarly there is no separation between jivas and Krishna
We are suffering because of forgetfulness
As rivers flow towards the ocean, everything leads to Krsna
Only through Bhakti can one understand Krishna
Simply by understanding Krishna all knowledge is known and perfection is attained
16. Transcendental knowledge is of no use for you
You are already liberated
The feeling of separation is wanted
I have separated myself because I want you to increase your love
Mahaprabhu taught that Vipralambaseva is the topmost
17. Gopis Speak
Is Krishna entrapped by the lovely women of Mathura?
Did he get married to a Princess after defeating Kamsa?
We are constantly remembering his walking style, joking manner and his sweet smile
18. Uddhava noticed the condition of the Gopis and again repeated the whole story
Meditate and be saved from the fire of separation by closing your eyes and thinking about Him
Krishna is also thinking about you
Uddhava acted as the preceptor spiritual master of the Gopis
19. Gopis Requested
Requested Uddhava to stay In Vraj longer
He kept them engaged in Krishna consciousness
Uddhava was inspired by the Gopis and composed songs in praise of their superexcellent qualities
20. Anyone can take shelter for the right purpose regardless of caste,gender etc and attain the highest perfection
Wanted the dust of the Gopis feet
Aspire to be a creeper in Vrindavan
21. Leaving for Mathura
Stayed for a few days and then he had to depart for Mathura
All of them including Nanda and Yasoda desired boons from Uddhava
For a pure devotee it doesnt matter where he takes birth: heaven and hell is the same!
He reached Mathura and narrated everything and gave the gifts to Krishnas father and grandfather.
