স্বমাধুর্য রাধা-প্রেমরস আস্বাদিতে ।
রাধাভাব অঙ্গী করিয়াছে ভালমতে ॥ ২৭৬ ॥ sva-madhurya radha-prema-rasa asvadite
radha-bhava aṅgi kariyache bhala-mate
SYNONYMS
sva-madhurya-His own conjugal love; radha-prema-rasa-the mellow of the loving affairs between Radharani and Krsna; asvadite-to taste; radha-bhava-the mood of Srimati Radharani; aṅgi kariyache-He accepted; bhala-mate-very well.
TRANSLATION
To taste the mellow quality of Srimati Radharani's loving affairs in Her relationship with Krsna, and to understand the reservoir of pleasure in Krsna, Krsna Himself, as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, accepted the mood of Radharani.
PURPORT
In this connection Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura writes in his Anubhasya, "Sri Gaurasundara is Krsna Himself with the attitude of Srimati Radharani. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu never gave up the attitude of the gopis. He remained everlastingly predominated by Krsna and never accepted the part of the predominator by imitating conjugal love with an ordinary woman, as sahajiyas generally do. He never placed Himself in the position of a debauchee. Lusty materialists like the members of the sahajiya-sampradaya hanker after women, even others' wives. But when they try to ascribe the responsibility for their lusty activities to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, they become offenders to Svarupa Damodara and Srila Vrndavana dasa Thakura. In Sri Caitanya-bhagavata, Adi-khanda, Chapter Fifteen, it is said:
sabe para-strira prati nahi parihasa
stri dekhi' dure prabhu hayena eka-pasa 'Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu never even joked with others' wives. As soon as He saw a woman coming, He would immediately give her ample room to pass without talking.' He was extremely strict regarding the association of women. The sahajiyas, however, pose as followers of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, although they indulge in lusty affairs with women. In His youth Lord Caitanya was very humorous with everyone, but He never joked with any woman, nor in this incarnation did He talk about women. The gauraṅga-nagari party is not approved by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu or Vrndavana dasa Thakura. Even though one may offer all kinds of prayers to Caitanya Mahaprabhu, one should strictly avoid worshiping Him as the Gauraṅga Nagara. The personal behavior of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and the verses written by Sri Vrndavana dasa Thakura have completely repudiated the lusty desires of the gauraṅga-nagaris."
