Main Moods in Rāgānugā Bhakṭi: Friendly, Parental and Conjugal
By Ananta Dāsa Bābājī:
“Sweetness is the essence of Divinity. In Vraja alone this sweetness is expressed. Although in Vraja we do find devotees in servile mood, but the Lord of Vraja is not totally satisfied by this mood. Hence it is said –
‘Mora puṭra mora sakhā mora prāṇapaṭi, eibhāve jei more kare suḍḍhā Bhakṭi āpanake baḍa mane āmāke sama hīna, sarva bhāve hai āmi tāāhra aḍhīna.’ – (CC) [Ādi 4.21-22]
Meaning – ‘The one who performs pure devotion accepting Me as a son, a friend or a dear husband, one who considers oneself to be greater and Myself to be either equal or smaller, is able to make Me subjugated in all respects.’
Devotion in servile mood may be without selfish desires, but it is not considered to be as pure as the other three moods. Viz., friendly, parental and conjugal. These three moods are main Rāgānugā Bhakṭi. We obtain Vraja-Rasa completely when we accept Kṛṣṇa as our own and get rid of all feelings of respect and hesitation.”
