No One Can Teach Raganuga
The singular emphasis upon raganuga-sadhana, a type of devotional practice reserved for those who have already reached a high level of bhakti, is directly opposed to the instructions given by Srila Prabhupada, who warns that such an emphasis will result in sahajiyaism. Some devotees give extended discourses about the confidential pastimes of Radha Krishna and the gopis. Such talks are given to anyone who may be present, including the newcomers. Did Srila Prabhupada ever dwell on these topics at length or make them the basis of his preaching? Quite the contrary, Prabhupada stressed the fact that Lord Chaitanya Himself would discuss such subjects only behind closed doors and only with one or two of His most advanced followers. Yet nowadays it is not uncommon to hear even newly initiated followers speaking freely on these topics following the wrong example of their superiors.
One may ask: 'if devotees prematurely take interest in topics of Krishna and the gopis, what harm will come? Isn’t Krishna-katha pure and purifying?' Srila Prabhupada has answered this doubt. He explains that since the loving affairs between Krishna and the gopis resemble or external appear like material exchanges between boys and girls (even though they are fully pure in truth), one's own lust may actually increase by concentrating on such topics, and thus one's spiritual advancement may be checked.
One may say: "When one is liberated and hears of Lord Krishna's and Shrimati Radha's loving affairs, he is not inclined to have lusty desires. One mundane person once said that when the Vaisnavas chant the name 'Radha, Radha', he simply remembers a barber's wife named Radha. This is a practical example. Unless one is liberated, he should not try to hear about the loving affairs between Sri Sri Radha and Krishna. If one is not liberated and listens to a relation of the rasa dance, he may remember his mundane activities and illicit connections with some woman whose name may also be Radha. In the conditioned stage one should not even try to remember such things. By practicing the regulative principles, one should rise to the platform of spontaneous attraction for Krishna. Then and only then, should one hear about the Radha Krishna Lila? Although these affairs may be very pleasing to both the conditioned and the liberated souls, the conditioned soul should not try to hear them". (Shri Chaitanya-Charitamrita, Madhya 8.255, purport)
Srila Prabhupada has encouraged all of us to hope that, in spite of our present disqualifications, we will one day be worthy of being called 'Rupanugas', genuine followers of Srila Rupa Goswami and Srila Raghunatha Das Goswami, amongst the earliest followers of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and the leaders of the earliest Gaudiya-Vaishnava community. But some say that to be a real Rupanuga, one must be in madhurya-bhava, the sentiment of Lord Krishna’s consorts, but and also teach that one must have the guidance of a 'rasika Vaisnava' to cultivate that state of bhava. This formula for becoming a follower of Sri Rupa and Sri Raghunatha, as given by some, contains two main ingredients: One must be situated in madhurya-bhava, and one must have the association of a "rasika Vaishnava".
In the first place, Srila Prabhupada would not have devotees spend time contemplating such matters as their rasa with Lord Krishna until they were first qualified to do so. 'First deserve, then desire'. Moreover, according to Srila Prabhupada, becoming a preacher of Krishna Consciousness is both the means and the method of becoming a follower of Sri Rupa and Sri Raghunatha. Only by preaching Krishna Consciousness can we enter the mood of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda Prabhu, and only by Their causeless mercy, given in reciprocation with our service, do our hearts become purified of anarthas, or ‘unwanted contaminations’. This is what we learn from association with Srila Prabhupada. By associating with others, on the other hand, one is let to believe that real spiritual advancement is based not on preaching but rather on the practice of raganuga-sadhana.
Some devotees hint at their own spiritual identity in relationship with Lord Krishna and say that to be in the line of Sri Rupa and Sri Raghunatha, one must be situated in madhurya-bhava. Some ask their followers to meditate upon themselves as one of the manjari maidservants of Shri Shri Radha and Krishna and tell their disciples to cultivate their desire to join in a similar mood.
Some announce that Srila Prabhupada is also a paliya dasi (maidservant) of Shrimati Radhika and imply that the Srila Prabhupada's followers can qualify to serve their own guru in his eternal form only if they are trained by a rasika Vaishnava proper guide.
This issue brings to light two fundamental differences. The first is that Srila Prabhupada never did this. The second is that the stress that only one situated in madhurya-bhava can ultimately be considered a true follower of Sri Rupa and Sri Raghunatha.
Sri Prabhupada, on the other hand, emphasizes that anyone who gives his life to Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's mission is a follower of Sri Rupa and Sri Raghunatha, regardless of his rasa. The more we take pains to avoid offences in chanting and the more we become energetic in broadcasting Krishna's message everywhere, the more we become eligible for higher development in spontaneous devotion. As Srila Prabhupada said, 'The way to develop the gopis' love for Krishna is to spread Krishna consciousness all over the world'. What is the mood of the gopis? They were prepared to do anything, sacrifice anything, to please Krishna. Since Krishna is most pleased when His devotee is pleased, we should therefore work selflessly to please Krishna's dear devotees and representatives like Srila Prabhupada and our Guru Parampara. Since Krishna and Srila Prabhupada are especially satisfied by preaching, we should preach selflessly and tirelessly as Srila Prabhupada himself did.
Srila Prabhupada said on June 23, 1976, "First of all try to rectify it, and then talk of svarupa (one’s eternal identity) Where is your svarupa? Simply wasting time. A man is diseased, he's thinking, "When I shall be cured I shall eat, go to this hotel, I shall eat like this". First of all cure, and then talk of eating this and that. Svarupa, when you are cured, that is svarupa. So long you are not cured, what is the use of talking svarupa? First business is cure yourself. Anartha-nivrtti, that is anartha-nivrtti. Then svarupa will come".
What does Srila Rupa Goswami say?
In the Nectar of Devotion, Chapter 16, the following statements sound almost like a forecast of the present problem:
"Spontaneous love of Krishna as exhibited by the Vrishnis and the denizens of Vrindavana is eternally existing in them. In the stage of devotional service where regulative principles are followed, there is no necessity of discussing this love, for it must develop of itself at a more advanced stage".
What does Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura say?
“Rasa is not a part of sadhana. Therefore if somebody says: ‘Come, I will teach you rasa’, then it will be his wickedness or foolishness. Rasa is not the subject of knowledge but of taste.
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura became extremely grave and he answered; "It is not helpful for a conditioned soul to meditate upon the asta kaliya lila (the eight fold daily pastimes) of Sri Sri Radha Krishna because one who is unqualified will commit aparadhas".
According to Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura there are two features of Lord Chaitanya's personality. Audarya and Madhurya. Preaching is Audarya (magnanimity) and Raga Marga is Madhurya (conjugal feelings). No one can relish Madhurya without Audarya. This point is very well described in Sri Navadvipa Dhaama Mahaatmya in Chapter 18. Lord Nityananda tells Srila Jiva Goswami: "One who is qualified in madhurya-rasa worships Gauranga in the form of Radha and Krishna. As Radha and Krishna have combined in one form as my Gauranga Raya, Their pastimes do not appear to be manifest in His form. When the worship of Gauranga in dasya-rasa reaches full maturity in the heart of the living entity, madhurya-rasa naturally develops in his heart. At that time one's worship of Gaurahari qualifies him to worship Radha and Krishna in Vrindavana". Worship of Gauranga in dasya rasa is preaching. We are not advised to imitate Gauranga's internal feelings but we are advised to serve Him in dasya. This will qualify us for Madhurya rasa.
An incident in Los Angeles adapted from Hari Sauri dasa's writings:
Radhabalabha dasa told Srila Prabhupada one devotee was reported to have said that the Gita was too bodily conscious and 'external' and that he became inspired only by reading about Krishna's confidential, internal dealings, especially those of the gopis in the Sri Chaitanya Charitamrta.
Srila Prabhupada was so disturbed by this news that the piece of fruit he held in hand never made it into his mouth. Abandoning breakfast, he went back into his darsana room and called for all the leaders and sannyasis, as well as for several members of the study group.
I told Srila Prabhupada that Sulochana dasa had approached me yesterday in an excited and conspiratorial mood to tell me about the surreptitious meetings. He was quoting parts of Sri Chaitanya-Charitamrta without, it seemed to me, understanding them, and had many misinterpretations of the text. He had cited some verses, which he interpreted to say that in each relationship with the Lord there is something lacking which is found only in the next rasa. He indicated that they actually considered paternal affection inferior to the gopi-bhava platform because Lord Chaitanya said that there is no higher way to serve Lord Krishna than in the mood of the gopis. They were therefore concentrating on the gopis' lives very closely, for they exhibited the highest and most pleasing way to satisfy Sri Krishna.
As I related the incident, Srila Prabhupada's anger flared. "Just see", he declared disgustingly, "Mother Yasoda is less than the gopis! This is their thinking. And they want siddha-deha!" Prabhupada was furious that such things could develop.
By this time the men were in his room and for almost three quarters of an hour he strongly rebuked the group, angrily refuting its reasoning. He compared their exclusive focus on the gopis to "jumping like monkeys".
Puranjana dasa said their intention was to simply scrutinize the activities of the gopis and develop the same aspirations because Lord Chaitanya recommended this.
Prabhupada got even angrier. He was in no mood for being mollified. "You want to scrutinizingly study Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's instructions, but why just the parts about the gopis? Why don't you scrutinizingly study where Chaitanya Mahaprabhu says: guru more murkha dekhi' karila shasana, that His guru found Him to be a fool and told Him He was not fit for anything but chanting Hare Krishna? Why don't you scrutinize that part? First become a fool like Chaitanya Mahaprabhu before jumping over like monkey!" Puranjana tried to reassure him that they were not attempting to imitate the gopis love of Krishna; they were simply studying the descriptions so that they could develop such desires.
Srila Prabhupada flushed, his top lip quivering. "First deserve, then desire! There is no question of desire unless one is actually liberated. Until that point you simply do whatever service you are given. So long as there is any pinch of material desire there is no question of desiring on the spiritual platform!" He said the intimate gopi-lilas were discussed by Lord Chaitanya only among His three most confidential associates - Svarupa Damodara, Ramananda Raya and Shikhi Mahiti. Siddha-deha is for liberated souls - no one else.
Sulochana dasa said that they had thought it was all right because it was in Prabhupada's books, and they were only reading his books. Prabhupada told them that just because a drug store has every type of drug it does not mean that one could get them without prescription. The doctor prescribes according to the disease. He said that from the beginning stages of devotional service up to the highest rasas, everything is there in his books, but they are not all to be immediately studied.
He ordered them not to hold any more meetings and to disband the 'club'. He directly linked this sahajiya tendency to our devotees meeting with some babajis in Vrindavan, and he strongly criticised a devotee (although he is not one of the study group) for even leaving his ears unblocked while the man spoke to him about so-called siddha-deha.
After sending them out duly chastened, Prabhupada explained to us that this sahajiya philosophy means the preaching will be finished.
Srila Prabhupada often warned that there is a class of Vaishnava who consider preaching to be indicative of a lower stage of devotion:
Prabhupada: "Vrindavan, there are so many dangers. All these babajis they are...'Oh, I am not going out of Vrindavana'. But he has got connection with so many women. So what is the use? Have you experience of this? He is attached to women and doing all sinful activities in Vrindavana. This is going on, manufacturing bidi, smoking bidi, in the dress of Rupa Gosvami, loincloth, big tilak, kanthi, and what is he doing? Bidi-making. Have you seen?
Prithu-putra: I have seen some of them doing this,...
Prabhupada: Not all of them. But they are also claiming they are on the stage of Rupa Goswami. We are preaching - we are lower stage. That is their opinion. We are preaching all over the world, we are in the lower stage. And because he has imitated the dress of Rupa Goswami - he is higher. This is going on. (Conversation, 28 January, 1977).
Neophytes cannot appreciate preaching. This is why Srila Prabhupada says in Upadeshamrita - The Nectar of Instruction - on page 64: "An empowered person who is actually engaged in the confidential service of the Lord should not be treated as an ordinary human being, for it is stated that unless one is empowered by Krishna, one cannot spread the Krishna Consciousness movement all over the world".
A sannyasi went to one of the Goswami temples in Vrindavana and he was chanting nicely in front of the deities when the pujari told him: 'in this life you keep preaching and in your next life you will be born in Vrindavana". When Srila Prabhupada heard this he told the sannyasi: "You should have told him that you are doing this puja very nicely, keep doing it and in your next life you will become a great preacher."
It has been quite common in the past for senior members of the Gaudiya Math to slowly, almost imperceptibly, stray into sahajiyaism under the influence of some Radha Kunda babajis with disastrous consequences for the united preaching mission of Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada. It was he himself who, in the 1930's gave the prophetic warning: "When our own men become sahajiyas, they will be the most dangerous..." After his disappearance it actually happened.
One may ask: 'if devotees prematurely take interest in topics of Krishna and the gopis, what harm will come? Isn’t Krishna-katha pure and purifying?' Srila Prabhupada has answered this doubt. He explains that since the loving affairs between Krishna and the gopis resemble or external appear like material exchanges between boys and girls (even though they are fully pure in truth), one's own lust may actually increase by concentrating on such topics, and thus one's spiritual advancement may be checked.
One may say: "When one is liberated and hears of Lord Krishna's and Shrimati Radha's loving affairs, he is not inclined to have lusty desires.

In the conditioned stage one should not even try to remember such things. By practicing the regulative principles, one should rise to the platform of spontaneous attraction for Krishna. Then and only then, should one hear about the Radha Krishna Lila? Although these affairs may be very pleasing to both the conditioned and the liberated souls, the conditioned soul should not try to hear them". (Shri Chaitanya-Charitamrita, Madhya 8.255, purport)

We are not advised to imitate Gauranga's internal feelings but we are advised to serve Him in dasya. This will qualify us for Madhurya rasa.
