Please direct me to find simple reading material for building clear understanding of the "Divvya Gunas" and "Divvya Dham" of Shree Krishna

Answer: Please read Prem Ras Madira, which is a collection of 1,008 pad kirtan written in Braj Bhasha by Jagadguru Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj and also available in Hindi and English translations. It has a section called "Dham Madhuri" which describes Shree Krishna's Divine abode, and another section called "Shree Krishna Madhuri" and "Shree Radha Madhuri", describing the Divine virtues of Radha and Krishna. You may also read Radha Govind Geet, which is a collection of 11,111 dohas composed by Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj in Hindi. There is a chapter called "Braj Dham", one called "Shree Radha", and one called "Shree Radha Krishna".

Compared to situation in 2013, how much I am deprived of MaharajJi while he is residing in Golok

Answer: Radhey Radhey,



There is no difference in the benefit that can be received by practicing sadhana bhakti. His instructions remain the same for all spiritual aspirants, thus the daily practice that we have to do remains the same. For those who practice sadhana bhakti everyday as prescribed by Shree Maharaj Ji, they can receive the very same benefit that they could when he was physically present here, and they can progress just as swiftly as they could when he was physically here.



In addition, we have thousands of his speeches recorded on audio and video, as well as many books he has written. These are more than enough to guide us and provide knowledge, clear doubts, and answer our questions. All we have to do is take the time to study these available resources.



For meditation purposes, we have thousands of kirtan which were revealed by Shree Maharaj Ji that describe the names, forms, leelas, virtues, and abodes of Shree Radha Krishna. We also have recordings of these kirtan being sung in the voice of Shree Maharaj Ji.



Thus, for all intents and purposes, we are presented with the very same opportunity to progress on the path of bhakti as we were when Shree Maharaj Ji was physically present. The rest is up to us. If we avail ourselves of this opportunity, then we will personally experience the grace of Radha Krishna in our life and we will realize that we have not been deprived of anything.

what did happened to shree radha rani ji after krishna went to mathura?

Question Detail: my respect to this radha madhav organisation...many times many people said that radha rani ji married with some one else after lord krishna \...but i am confused why did radha rani do this because shree krishna and radha rani is one..plz help me and give me ans..i m from mathura (india)
Answer: Radhey Radhey,
The most important thing to keep in mind is that Radha and Krishna are absolutely one, and are Supreme God. They can never be separated, even if in a leela They may be apart. When both are omnipresent, then how can They be apart? When both are one in two forms, then how can They be apart? So whatever They do is called a leela; it is a Divine act which is meant to reveal Divine bliss and grace the souls. We should not question in or analyze Their leelas. We should only use them for the devotional remembrance or Smaran. If there is something in Their leelas that seems difficult for us to accept or understand, we should just set aside our questioning intellect and have faith that there is a Divine reason for all of God's actions.
That being said, after Shree Krishna left for Mathura, there was no marriage of Radha Rani. When Shree Krishna left for Mathura, He gave 100 years of virah to Radha. Virah is a state of the Divine love where even though there is perfect union between Radha and Krishna, the feeling of separation heightens the exciting experience of Prem Ras. The revelation of this virah also demonstrates to the world the height of that state of Divine love. After one hundred years, Krishna and Radha met in Kurukshetra during a festival which was attended by all the Yadus.

Therapy or counseling

Question Detail: Is it necessary for us to go back into our childhood or past to figure out why we do the things we do today? In terms of how we may act out or how we act as a whole in relationships? Or how we act in general, in ways that cause us suffering or harm to ourselves and others? There are many who say this is necessary in order to come to terms with and see ourselves more clearly. Is therapy or counseling necessary?
Answer: For acute disorders or personality problems such therapy may be required. For the ordinary personality problems and faults that we all share, like anger, insecurity, jealousy, etc., it is not necessary. It is certainly helpful to become aware of our own faults and personality problems, acknowledge that we have them, and then work to control them. However, the origin of these problems is much deeper than any event from our early life, or even past life. The true origin is maya itself. 
All the faults and negativities of the mind are inherently present in maya. Thus, a mayic mind will automatically have all these faults. The only way to overcome mayic faults is to overcome maya, which happens upon God realization (which is only possible by surrendering to God through bhakti).
As we practice bhakti and purify our mind by attaching it to God, these mayic faults are gradually reduced and we gain more control over them. This is truly curing the disease at its root, instead of merely controlling its symptoms.

What is the law of destiny? Do we receive the results of our actions in this life?

Answer:  Destiny or Prarabdh Karm is the outcome of actions. In every life, we perform uncountable Kriyaman Karm (the actions of the current life). All of that karm is recorded. The record of all our unlimited karm from unlimited past lifetimes is called sanchit karm. Out of that Sanchit Karm, we are given a portion of it to undergo as destiny in this life. The rest is kept as Sanchit Karm to be given to us sometime in a future life. So we simultaneously perform new Kriyaman Karm, while undergoing our Prarabdh Karm (destiny) and Sanchit Karm is the stock of uncountable past actions. Destiny controls certain things in a person's life (like major accidents, some illnesses, major financial ups and downs, fame and infamy). However, every person has control over their own thinking. This means that we exercise our free will to perform new actions every moment, and simultaneously undergo the consequences of past lives' actions in the form of destiny. The actions we perform in this life fructify in our next life. They become thedestiny of our next life. The destiny of this life is already determined by the karm of our last life, so there is no room for us to receive the outcome of this life's actions in the same life. However, there is one way that we are immediately affected by our actions, that is in our mind. Our good or bad actions either develop our mind in a positive direction or a negative direction,and that can be felt immediately.

How many different types of knowledge (gyan) are there?

Answer: There are mainly two kinds of gyan (knowledge): theoretical and experiential. Experiential knowledge is also of two types: atmagyan (knowledge of the soul) and brahm gyan (knowledge of God). Brahm gyan is the knowledge of God which is only received by surrendering to God, not through any practice. Atm gyan can be attained by following the path of gyan, butbrahm gyan can only be attained through bhakti. When you surrender to God throughbhakti and He Graces you, then you receive His Divine knowledge. That knowledge is unlimited. In other words, when you know God, you know everything.

How do we get more success in life by getting spiritual and how not to get carried away with that success?

Answer: Luckily, Krishn would never let His devotee get carried away with success. In fact it is His statement in the Bhagwatam that when He Graces a devotee, He takes away the objects of his attachment, so that he will not be distracted, and he will turn fully towards Krishn. The point is that as long as your desire is to attain Krishn, then just try your best in the world, and take whatever comes as His prasad.
 
As regards spirituality helping us attain more success in life, the thing to remember is that our major financial situations and social successes and failures are already determined by our destiny. This is based on our past life's actions, which fructify in this life as the ups and downs that we experience in the world. That means that no matter how spiritual we are, we can't find more success than we're already destined for. So use spirituality to find inner success. The more your develop your connection with Radha Krishn, the more inner stability you will have. This gives you the strength to weather any stormin the world and it means that you can be truly happy in all situations. This is the power of spirituality, it gives  you the ability to be happy no matter what happens to you in the world.

When doing devotion, should I chant Radha Rani’s name, or the maha mantra? Which is better?

Answer: As far as what name or mantra to remember, that is a personal choice for you.  Every name of God contains His unlimited power. One cannot be said to be more powerful than any other.  The same goes for any mantra: the power in the mantra comes from God's name which is in the mantra.  So any name of God is a powerful mantra.  But of course the name or mantra must be taken with faith (that God is in His name) and along with roopdhyan (remembrance of the form of Radha Krishn, or whatever form of God you are worshiping).  In the satsang of Shree Kripalu Ji Maharaj, we chant many names of Radha and Krishn, and we also chant the maha mantra.  It is totally up to your personal preference.  Just remember to do roop dhyan while you are chanting, and you are on the right track.  Roop dhyan is the term Maharaj Ji uses to describe thinking of the form of Radha Krishn, which also includes thinking of Their abode, leelas, qualities of Their personality, etc.
