What comes to mind for me is that in all three lilas—Gaura-lila, Krishna-lila, and Rama-lila—there are the inner abodes: Navadvipa, Vrindavan, and Ayodhya, as well as the external settings: Puri, Dwaraka, exile/Lanka. In Rama-lila, both Laksmana and the bow are manifestly accompanying Rama in both Ayodhya and the exile. In Krishna-lila, Balarama is accompanying Krishna in both realms, but the flute is manifest only in Vraja. In Gaura-lila, Visvarupa/Nityananda Prabhu is accompanying Mahaprabhu in the adì- and madhya-lilas, the danda for some time in the madhya-lila, and then Nityananda Prabhu is sent back to Bengal.

Thanks for pointing this out. The kama bija is explained in Gopala-tapani, not the kama gayatri

“Kama gayatri is not explained in Gopala-tapani. Therein the 18 syllable Gopala mantra is revealed. ”

But in the second to last sentence of this article you state, “Desiring the same for herself, she appeared as Gopāla-tāpanīya Upaniṣad, in which the kāma gāyatrī is explained.”

…. so?

THIS hand movement is still preserved in the Shukla Yajur Vedha trafition Mostly the other divisions of the The One Vedha, do not use any hand movements for most part (except small intricate parts – in my inderstanding).
Indian music has it for Thalam, the way to measure the timing and rhythm. In fact a section of music instruments which accompany the singer are purely for maintaining the timeliness of the song, which the singer may miss otherwise. But this is not connected to the Vedhic hand movement per my understanding.

Haribol! Thanks for your comment, Luz.

Yes, financial stability can be very helpful for a sadhaka. Getting this in place could be seen as a form of aropa-siddha bhakti, or bhakti through attribution. That said, it is important to see forms of aropa-siddha bhakti as subservient to our svarupa-siddha bhakti (practices that are inherently bhakti, like sravanam, kirtanam, and guru seva). Therefore, one should be willing to accept or reject financial income or a job depending on its favorability for bhakti. This requires proper spiritual discernment. I explore this a bit more in the later articles, especially article 4.

Sí! Radha y Krishna me hicieron tener más Fe en Ellos sin olvidar a mi Nitay, señalándome el camino a seguir incorporándome nuevamente a la jornada laboral material de forma diferente.

Gracias Kishore por este tu primer artículo, no he visto los demás. Llegué a esta página casualmente por buscar en google un artículo que leí hace varios años que me inspiró mucho, de cómo Thomas Merton conoció el Bhagavad Gita, sus intercambios con un devoto y su muerte inesperada, no lo encontré, sólo otro y el de aquí.
