কৃষ্ণনাম-গানে ভাই, রাধিকা-চরণ পাই,
রাধানাম-গানে কৃষ্ণচন্দ্র ।
সংক্ষেপে কহিনু কথা, ঘুচাও মনের ব্যথা,
দুঃখময় অন্য-কথা ধন্দ ॥ ১১০ ॥
kṛṣṇa-nāma-gāne bhāi, rādhikā-caraṇa pāi,
rādhā-nāma-gāne kṛṣṇacandra |
saṁkṣepe kahinu kathā, ghucāo manera byathā,
duḥkhamaya anya-kathā dhanda || 110 ||
O brother! By singing Kṛṣṇa’s name you will get Rādhikā’s lotus feet. By singing Rādhā’s name, you will get Kṛṣṇacandra. I spoke briefly about this. End the troubles of your mind. All other topics are full of misery and confusion.
The Method of Yugala-Bhajana
Sudhā-Kaṇikā-Vyākhyā: In the previous verse, the illustrious author said he did not want to even hear the name of a person who neglects Śrī Rādhā and worships Śrī Kṛṣṇa alone. Śrīla Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī has also called such people arrogant and insincere; he is determined to abandon their impure association. Now the question will be, are we to also abandon the company of those who worship Śrī Kṛṣṇa alone following one of his nitya-siddha companions in Vraja, in either dāsya, sakhya or vātsalya-rasa? Anticipating this kind of question, Śrīla Ṭhākura Mahāśaya says, kṛṣṇa-nāma-gāne bhāi, rādhikā-caraṇa pāi. Aversion or neglect toward Śrī Rādhā can never appear in those who have taken shelter of authentic śrī-kṛṣṇa-bhajana. This is because by singing Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s name, they attain Śrī Rādhikā’s lotus feet and then get the corresponding bhāva. It should be understood that the words rādhikā-caraṇa have been placed here reverentially; therefore, to get Śrī Rādhikā’s lotus feet means to get Śrī Rādhikā. Those who are bhaktas of Vraja’s dāsya and sakhya-rasas worship Śrī Rādhā by thinking of her as Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s greatest devotee. Among the bhaktas of sakhya-rasa, Subala, Madhumaṅgala and the other priya-narma-sakhas have a particular role in serving Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s beloved Śrī Rādhā in madhura-rasa. The bhaktas of vātsalya-rasa, following Nanda and Yaśodā, feel parental affection toward Śrī Rādhā. Therefore, it is certain that those who worship Śrī Kṛṣṇa but are averse to Śrī Rādhā or disrespectful to her are not doing śrī-kṛṣṇa-bhajana at all. For this reason, the mahājana has said, kṛṣṇa-nāma-gāne bhāi, rādhikā-caraṇa pāi.
Moreover, if someone worships Śrī Rādhā but not Śrī Kṛṣṇa, even that person’s rādhā-bhajana is not appropriate because by singing rādhā-nāma, one inevitably attains Śrī Kṛṣṇa. rādhā-nāma-gāne kṛṣṇacandra. Yugala-nāma is a type of mahāmantra that attracts both of them. In this yuga, Śrīman Mahāprabhu and the Vaiṣṇava ācāryas who are sheltered at his lotus feet blessed the people of the world by introducing the most profound and esoteric worship of the Divine Couple, which was unattainable for humans of other yugas. Chanting rādhā-kṛṣṇa-nāma is an easily accessible way for them to worship Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa. Śrīman Mahāprabhu personally taught people to chant day and night the thirty-two-syllabled hare-kṛṣṇa-nāma-bhajana, an invocation consisting of sixteen names of Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa. We have mentioned this previously.
Then Śrīla Ṭhākura Mahāśaya said, saṁkṣepe kahinu kathā, ghucāo manera byathā, duḥkhamaya anya-kathā dhanda. “I briefly spoke of this most important topic, the essence of which is that nāma-saṅkīrtana is the yuga-dharma of the age of Kali.” Like Śrī Bhagavān himself, his name is by nature saccidānanda because there is no difference in the name and the named. In that respect, all of Śrī Bhagavān’s names are equal, but if one judges in terms of the magnanimity of nāma, the preeminence of śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāma can be understood. It is known that the name of Rāma is greater than the names of Matsya, Nṛsiṁha, Vāmana and so on because śrī-rāma-nāma is equal to a thousand names of Viṣṇu. In Padma-Purāṇa, Śrīman Mahādeva said to Śrī Gaurīdevī, sahasra-nāmabhis tulyaṁ rāma-nāma varānane. In Brahmāṇḍa-Purāṇa it is seen that by speaking Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s name once a jīva receives the result of reciting the thousand names of Viṣṇu three times. sahasra-nāmnāṁ puṇyānāṁ trir āvṛtyā tu yat phalam, ekāvṛtyā tu kṛṣṇasya nāmaikaṁ tat prayacchati. Therefore, Śrīman Mahāprabhu said, paraṁ vijayate śrī-kṛṣṇa-saṅkīrtanam, which is a brief statement teaching the importance of śrī-kṛṣṇa-nāma-saṅkīrtana. Moreover, it teaches the importance of yugala-nāma-kīrtana, or chanting Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s name along with Śrī Rādhā’s name, which is very attractive to him. Therefore, abandon all mental anguish produced by the body and things related, or all mental anguish regarding sādhya-sādhana, meaning unfavorable thoughts regarding whether sādhya-sādhana on the path of bhajana is possible, and give up all other misery-filled topics that are untrue, full of mistakes and confusion. The only way to get your desired object is to sing the names of Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa. This is the most essential teaching.
