Six Questions about Rasa

ll devotees! All glories to Nitaai and Gaura Naam!  Dear Gurudeva and other devotees, 

I would like humbly to ask following question. This is theoretical inquiry. Sometimes we may ask about "higher topics" but we should always keep such lilas and topics "high above our heads":  By chanting Nitaai and Gaura Naam and by constantly meditating on Nitaai lotus feet sadhaka may start to feel small inspiration to achieve the feeling of friendship in equality, sakya rasa, specificaly priya-narma-sakha rasa.Such sadhaka may feel atractions to such relation and pastimes of the Lord and is naturally attach to read more and more about such pastimes from scriptures,in that extend that nothing more is becoming important to him than this.Also some attachment toward dvadasa-gopals and associates of Lord Nityananda Prabhu may manifest within hearth. 

1.What should devotee do to achieve service in mood of priya-narma-sakha?

2.Some devotees are saying that all devotees in this age are meant to some day serve in madhurya rasa, as servants of manjari or gopi. Is this true? 

3. Devotee may feel stronger attachment toward Balarama/Nitaai then Krsna/Gauranga, spontaneously meditating,chanting etc about worshipable Lord? Is this all right with standards of our sampradaya? 

4. Devotee may find that spontaneously he or she is meditating or praying to associates of Lord in specific position like Subala, Sridhama or Abhirama Thakura etc. and becoming attached to such specific mood of service. How to properly understand this? 

5. There is great fear/ignorance about such topics, basicaly because all such realizations or topics  are in many cases automatically categorized - sahajiya. Many devotees are saying - just chant Hare Krsna that is what you need.They may also say that Srila Prabhupada never spoke about that. So devotee may be frighten to ask, and hesitate. How will devotee know are such aspirations genuine of simply cheating/sahajiya? 

6. In Nectar of devotion we may find many relevant and wonderful descriptions about such topics. I have heard that many devotees are saying that we should read and learn about first part of the book and that second part of this book is not for us? Why will Srilla Prabhupada wrote his commentaries on Nectar of devotion if they are not for us? Also, is it possible anywhere to find original, full verse translation and transcription of Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu? 

Thank you so much!

Let us always chant Nityananda, Gauranga and Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.

Mercy case, Igor
