Madhura-rasa

Страница на Русском Мадхура-раса

madhura-rasa lit. ‘sweet taste’; a relationship of conjugal love with the Lord, which is the most exalted of all relationships with the Lord and contains within it the qualities of all the other relationships. There are two forms of madhura-rasa: (1) svakiya: serving the Lord as one’s husband, and (2) parakiya: serving the Lord as one’s paramour. Parakiya madhura-rasa, which has been given to the world by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, is found only in Sri Vrndavan Dham, and is the ultimate attainment of the soul.

And what is that standard of devotion? It is this: complete surrender to Krishna in consorthood, where every atom of the jiva-soul gets welcomed and embraced by the corresponding atom of Krishna consciousness — madhura-rasa.
