Rasa Leela | Unknown layers of a known story | part 2/2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- This talk covers the Rasa Leela as described in the Srimad Bhagavatham, shedding light on the uniqueness of this Krishna Leela.
Typical portrayals of this Leela showcase Krishna in negative light, or poke fun at the larger idea of the rasa Leela, sidelining the depth in the lore. This talk is an attempt to go beyond such surface level interpretations.
The talk was recorded live at Sri Venugopalaswamy Devasthana, Malleshwaram, Bangalore on Radha Ashtami, 2024.
In the morning only, I wrote a letter to Radha that I want to know more about you, telling her that I have heard that to reach the heart of Sri Krishna, people tell me to know about you more. And I just randomly picked this to watch not knowing that I would indeed know Radha more deeply! Thankyou Vinay, me watching it today was a proof that Radha Krishna are indeed watching over me! Radhey Radhey ! 🪷🤍
In a way, those random actions are the guided ones, guided by the eternals to put us on their chosen path.
Hare Krishna.
The DHARA ... RADHA moment was the best. You are god sent Vinay ji
Why can't you start explaining Bhagavad gita because the way u explain things to people are so soothing to ears and heart ....such a pure soul u are! Radhe Radhe😊
I also want to say just like u❤
Vinay anna, I’ve been following you from the time you came on Ranveer’s podcast. I didn’t even realise how 1 and a half hrs passed by. Your delivery always touches the soul. It strikes a chord so deep that I cannot express. Me and my whole family were hooked for the entire duration. Pranams to you, Vinay anna! May Shri Hari bless you, for you are doing His seva so wonderfully and helping all of us understand Him better and reach Him ultimately 🙏😇
I am so much thankful to ranveer for introducing vinay garu to trs followers. Vinay garu I am in forever gratitude to you for all your videos
I second that
Today is not Radhashtami... Its just a regular day when i clicked a video on utube
But at the end of these 1.5 hrs
I dont feel like i was just seeing a video...
I feel like i had 1.5 hrs of Krishna's actual presense with me in this room !
Vinay sir ! Forget abt stopping it is almost impossible to even take a breakkk when i hear u doing Hari katha becoz it is soo captivating!
I have definitely used up some amount of my Punya by having the privilege of hearing you....
Even if u do not read this comment...
my prayers to Krishna for ur wellbeing and to FORCE u to make more such videos
Ur Katha takes us to our isht..
Jai Shree Krishna ! 🩵
Vinayaji im a teacher. I had come all the way to listen to you live. As soon as I reached mantri square metro asking the auto guy to take me to venugopala Swamy temple, and was telling him to hurry up as I was already late. The auto person asked me what's is special today, as already he has cruised around 25 people to the venue. It was totally bliss to hear on occasion of radha astami thank you. Im also one of the people standing and listening
This is really humbling. 🙏
Looking forward for more stories 😊.
Recently I started to listen to Vijay Varanasi, and very much impressed with the way he says story..
My bad I dnt knew about this session in Malleshwaram..
Where do you find his upcoming session?
Vinay Garu, please let us know your upcoming sessions. So we could attend it live. Just loved the session ☺️
Iam blessed to hear ur speech.Radhey krishna
No words to explain how beautifully he talks,really mesmerizing and he is the ocean of knowledge.His parents are gifted to have this gem. God bless you Vinay Varanasi.I feel immense pleasure to hear your pravachanams.
@@vemnav I always talk about the mother who brought this bundle of brilliance and knowledge into this world!!!
Wow!!!❤ Amritham , Amritham it is.... pure bliss, just pure bliss listening to your discourse. My heart is filled with bliss on sri krishna. As if U. Ve . Vellukudi krishnan and dushyanth Sridhar's discourse is not enough, Krishna has sent vinay varanasi to describe his Leela to the world, so that one can fall head over heels in love with him. His Leela has no end.... how can this be kali yuga? I am just wondering.... looks like Krishna has saved the best of the best for the bhakta's in kali yuga, how else it can be. Heart melts , ego surrenders , senses lost in krishna and Radha!!!! Wow!!! Wow!!! Krishna Radha, Radha Krishna........❤❤❤
Hare Krishna ❤... indeed Krishna is very merciful.
Hare Krishna. Wonderful discourse in simple language. 🙏🙏🙏
You are so right❤
@@selva1093 So So true, this just gave me a whole new perspective on kaliyug 🙏🪷
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Nectar like words enter into our ears and spreading the rasamrutham to our hungry souls purified
Only with immense blessings can such satsangs come into one's life, thank you for sharing these Gems of Radha Rani ji. Om Sri Matre Namaha 🙏
The parrot is sitting now in front of us and speaking about his swami Radhe Krishna❤
Lord Krishna Himself decendend in you my dear brother 🙏 thanks a lot to be part of your discourse ❤️
I have to submit one paper at International conference on Communication (ICC-2025). I am in final revision stage of it. Morning I listen to his "Meenakshi Kalyanam" and now this...! I am wondering is He The Krishna Himself who is calling me with his immense knowledge and binding me to forgot all the prapanch....! Just overwhelmed🥰😇
Vinayji you are a national treasure, blessed to hear you always
Thankyou RADHAKRISHNA❤❤ for showing me this in my UA-cam algorithm. I feel like radhakrishna brought me here to listen to vinay 🥹 I'm blessed ❤️🩹
I am binging all your episodes Vinay sir. The way you connect multiple things to make it make sense is something else. Blessed to have bumped into your talks. Very captivating. 🙏🏾
We are blessed to listen to Rasa Leela all of your kathas are helping me to understand what bhakthi is ...
Thank u very much Radhe Krishna❤
Same here, sister.
And Sir, Please share more chapters with different stories and examples. And also bring katha on complete Bhagavad Gita,
Srimad Bhagavatam.
I didn't know anything about Radha. I thought she is a creation of ISKON. With your this pravachanam brother it changed my perspective about her as jagadguru. It's truly awakening for me. Thank you tammudu 🙏🙏🙏
Your parents so fortunate to have a son like you. Your way of explanatios very pleasant. God bless you.
Excellent talk! Omg! Such a young age, you are able to give a talk that’s so convincing and inspiring! You are truly blessed. And feel blessed to hear right when I was feeling so confused about various things. May Lord Krishna bless us to make our faith stronger 🙏🙏🙏
Vinay garu! I really hope you'll consider my humble request. Every time I listen to your talks, I find myself moved to tears-your words touch the deepest part of my heart. I can't even begin to express the gratitude I feel. It would mean so much if you could continue sharing your insights on "Jayadeva Ashtapadhi." I'm eager to hear more, and I hope you'll kindly consider this heartfelt plea. 🙏
Never understood the glory of Radha, so refrained from saying "Radhe Radhe", after this evening I cannot think Krishna without Radha.
🌼🌼🌼🌼
Such a pure soul Vinay Varanasi is. Thank you for taking us into the world of Bhakti and premam. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Namaskar 🙏 dada ( big brother in odia) I watched your beer biceps podcast. I just wanted to tell you, you are mesmerizing. The way you speak about north and south despite being from the south, without any bias, without any possesiveness for south. When u speak about vrindavan it feels like u belong to vrindavan. When u speak about kashi it feels like u belong to kashi. When you speak about Madurai it feels like u belong to Tamil Nadu. When you speak about Kerela it feels like you belong to Kerela. And it is something very magical in these constant unwanted north south debates. And listening to you gives me peace, gives me tears, gives me bliss, takes me a step closer to god. Thank you for doing what you are doing. You are the perfect example of how our scriptures demand us to be. Belong to everyone and everywhere yet belong to no one and nowhere. You inspire me ❤🙏
Very well said.
I worship Krishna as my best friend forever. Like Kuchela And Krishna relation. I used shout a him, I used to cry in front of him, I share my feelings with him, I talk to him. But now happened in my life I am affected by cancer and it is the in first stage and accidentally it came to know after the test. I refused to do the test because of lack of money. But one of friends and he's a Muslim, he told me teacher (I'm a teacher ) don't think about money, I'll pay for you whenever you get money give it to me if you can otherwise leave but you have to do the test immediately, so that we can rectify what is there in your body. Then I went to the hospital and the result is positive now. But after hearing this video I'm not worried about anything just focusing on my best friend Krishna. He knows everything about me. I'm not scared about this disease. Radhe Krishna. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏How he is making me strong I don't have words to express it. Radhe Krishna 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏. I love you Krishna for being with me.
Jai shree radhe Krishna 🙏🙏❤️
Radhe Radhe
Take care 💓
Radhe Radhe!Anna please talk more about Lord Krishna !!The way you describe krishna is soo good ! Krishna as his name says, attractive and magnetic❤ , i just feel like listening more and more about him. Please talk about krishna anna ..its a request ❤! Hare krishna
Radhey Radhey……. Kept me enthralled. Can’t express the bliss I experienced listening to this raasa leela. My humble obeisance to you Prabhu 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
So many unasked questions answered
Spiritual journey often puts us in dilemma and you have taught us to look at the right angles
Your knowledge so profound and yet so simple to understand
Thank you Vinay !!
May Krishna bless you to be the light of knowledge in many minds !!!
What a wonderful explanation about Radhama not mentioned in Bhagavatam 🙏
made me cry. when you talked about Radha and dhara, when you talked about Krishna being everywhere in India. thank you for putting this talk on UA-cam so that I was able to experience the joy of listening to such a beautiful part of Bhagvatam 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Radhey Radhey VV, Listening to your words, 'Aadhikas phalam adhikam,' I'm delighted to revisit this wonderful katha once again with Radhey Kirshna’s Grace
I was blessed to be in Shri Krishna's presence and listen to your pravachana live that day at Sri Venugopala Krishna Swamy Temple. It was pure bliss, as I rediscovered my love for Lord Shri Krishna through the words that came from your mouth. That voice, that vocabulary and that depth of knowledge.. You are Godsent, Vinay!
Which city .?

@@prakashmurthynok thank you so much 🙏
Pure elixir...The way you explained the relations between Vedas, puranas, and other shastras is impeccable. Listening to you is a blessing. The way you give discourses is beyond amazing. I literally searched out UA-cam for more such gripping and marvellous lectures by you. You are intensely blessed by parmatma. Keep giving such discourses especially Krishna and His avatars. They are so pure when you start speaking time just flies. And it feels like, why it ended. The actual meaning underlying every Leela is only told by you in this manner. Listened to many bhagvatam speakers. But you are my favourite. Hare Krishna. Lord bless you immensely so that we can get more enlightenment. Thank you.
What a spectacular flow....every, every word is coming to the mind with an exact image because of your deep involvement and expression ❤❤❤
Vinay, tears roll down listening to you. I can feel and imagine the narration. You are so good. Being us closer to the divine. Thank you so much.
Simply nectar are your words & all your discourses . You are so blessed to speak about our Bhagwatam . And you are so knowledgeable at such a young age . You are a real special creation by the almighty . 🙏🙇♀️🙏
I’m 24 and serendipitously landed upon this lecture. I remained fixated and glued throughout the 90mins like a bee is to a fragrant flower. Not sure whether it was the magic of Mr. Vinay’s compelling narration or Krishna’s enchanting attributes and stories. Thank you dear sir.❤Radhe Radhe
Always the latter :') we are all just instruments :)
Ayya Namaskaram !!! Glad that after Chaganti garu, Samvedam garu, Garikapati garu, we have you in the next generation to spread the word of divinity for us. Even more glad that you are doing it in English for everyone to understand.
For the first time I understood what Radha tatvam .. thank you Vinay garu..
Ae tat phalam narayanarpanamastu 🙏
Radhe Radhe 🙏🏻 Such a beautiful discourse it was 🥹 I feel blessed, thank you vinay anna 🙇🏻♀️
Thank you brother Vinay! My quest on understanding rasa leela and Radha, ended (or started) with your discourse. Feeling grateful to lord and to you for listening to such a wonderful discourse. May Lord Krishna bless you.
Awesome is an understatement for this Vyasa of Kaliyuga who narrates with so much love and devotion… You were so right when u said u heard it because He made u heard it… felt like it was spoken so that I could hear it… More bhakti to you!!!
Extraordinary,,, mind blowing,, No words to express my gratitude,, Hare Krishan
Please made continue Harikatha like this from your divinity 🙏
Those occasional Kannada words and humorous switches are like small knots in a string of beads which interrupts your intense mental activity before drawing you in again to listen like a tree. Your adhbutham way with words and your references made this a very beautiful listening experience. Please continue to impart knowledge with the same Yashas and Sidhi.
Vinay Anna you please keep telling these kathas 🙏🏻these are making me get more closer to my aaradhya Prabhu shree Vishnu . Thanku so much for your amazing katha❤️. If I get a chance to meet you first I will fall at your feet and take darshana of the krishn inside you who is making you say this katha🪷
Dear vinay kindly keep uploading many such videos so that we experience divinity thru same. I am moved. Especially as unique as Radha tatwa. Radhe Krishna Radhe Krishna Radhe Krishna
Vinayji can u pls not stop this katha and go on … it’s amritamay ❤❤❤❤
Pure excellence i came to know so many new things through this😊 hare krishna radhe radhe❤❤❤
Listening to your Hari Kathas are in itself an extraordinary out of the world experience.
Vinay sir I feel myself blessed that UA-cam exist and in that your video exist, so that I can hear to this wonderful talk Hare krishna 🕉️🙏sir please start series on Bhagwad gita from chapter 1 🕉️🙏
Radhakrishna has changed me. I unknowingly fell in love and unexpectedly keep finding beautiful stories about them like this one!
If you're here, Radhakrishna has chosen u❤
You helped connect so many dots, from varied reading, that were loosely floating in my conscience. Thank you for establishing that love for Krishna cannot be explained in the limited vocabulary available to us. It's an emotion called Radha!
Radhe radhe
He is a enlightened, transformed person totally drowned in Bhakti
And blessed by God.
We are lucky due to blessings of God as we can listen his beautiful discourse on Lord Krishna.
Radhe Radhe.
They want something FROM ME
They don't want ME
Great learning, for me 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Thank you, Vinay Sir🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful Upanyasam
Listening to this katha has taken me to a place I’ve never been before, it's beyond mesmerizing. How divine is Krishna, with his beautifully woven leelas, each one so full of wonder and grace. And you, Vinay Bhagat, are truly a vessel of that divinity. I see you as Krishna’s left hand, guiding us closer to him. I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear this, but now I feel his presence pulling me in, through your words. For that, I am profoundly grateful! Radhe Radhe well wishes to you 🦚
Vinay ji, I have to say that you have completely clarified and captured the divine essence of the sacred Raas Leela. Thank you so much for this explanation. I profoundly thank you for your work. Keep moving ahead! Radhe Radhe.
This is my first time listening the rasaleela ..really i was yearning to read bhagavatam...Due to intense yearning..my love grew so much and lord krishna gave me wonderful opportunity of listening to the extreme and most wanted and most needed chapter for enjoying jeevanmukthi or seeing divine love in every..you are a boon for all yearning souls searching for krishnas love.. thankyou brother for wonderful rendition with bhaktiparavasyam that made me hear very attentively and its a blissful moment to listen to these...no words....😊
When you speak its like Krishna himself is using u as his flute ! God bless you !
Excellent Vinay ji. You are really God sent wonderful kid for all of us. I don't have any words to describe about this session. We never heard this side of Raasaleela. It's wonderful. Thank you so much. Jai Sri Krishna
He’s the incarnation of Debarshi Narada who came to this mortal world to rescue humanity from this materialistic world. It’s our fortune to listen to him. Tears rolled body shivered. I came to this world with a mission. May God help you in fulfilling it. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Truly blessed by the grace of Radha and Krishna, I feel immensely happy to have listened to this Rasa Leela by you Vinay ji❤Sarvam Krishnarpanam🙏🏻
🙏🙏🙏
Someday I would want to listen to you in person. Beautiful storytelling.
Being an east Indian married into a South Indian family - it was your talk on Meenakshi Kalyanam which made to fall in love with Maa Meenakshi. She is my Samaleshwari. My maa
It was a blessing for me to hear your discourse today. Please upload more of these kathas in your channel. Hearing bhagwan's leela takes us away from all the problems. Radhe Radhe 🙏🙏

Poetic, eloquent. Simply speechless listening to this amazing Bhakta. Transcendental experience.
An excellent 1.5 hrs with Bhagawat Smaranam on this punya Ekadashi day, May u b blessed with more such opportunities and may we soak ourselves in Krishna Consciousness listening to u speak of him and be one with him.Sarvam Krishnarpanam 🙏
Only goddess sarasvati sitting in the mind can say this Leela in such melodious and extravagant emotions expressed through the divine word plays. Thanks to Mr Varanasi for making us swim in the Leela purushottama Leela . Such a bliss . Radhe Radhe ❤
Radhe Radhe Vinay bhaiyya I saw your prodcast on Krishna with Ranveer. Thank you for everything and may radha rani keep showering her blessings on you.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. Thank you so much for delivering it in English. Hare Krishna.
Vinay ji, i hv started following you since ur interview with Ranveer. And i happened to watch this Rasaleela..which i always yearned to listen, watch and experience. And with no exaggeration, it was truly divine and mesmerizing. Being an Iskcon devotee, i found it very very genuine and authentic . Towrds the end, i literally cried,couldn't stop my emotions realising the true love of Gopis and Krishna's soulabhyam for them.
Thank you thank you so much for making it available in u tube. Bcos on Radhashtami, i came across one of ur paid lectures on some other online platform . I couldn't make it. I really felt bad. Now , as u rightly said, it was Srimati Radharani's grace that i was made to listen this beautiful rendering.
Radhe Radhe!🙏
When I was listening ...I was actually experiencing it all ....unbelievable is your way of narrating ....The words you were speaking it was as if i'm watching it all happening in front of eyes ....miraculous ❤
You're a busy blessed being indeed but it would be truly a blessing to get episodes of Bhagwad Puranam narrated by you,shree. Your words add magic to Kanha and he adds magic to your narration. Hare Krishna ❤️
No words to express my feelings of gratitude.Hare Krishna 🙏🙏
As always @ Vinay Varanasi, your straight from the heart narration and story telling rather enumeration of what was, leads us into that ocean of bliss where we dance cry and love like Gopis. You are blessed by the eternal धारा of Divinity and Krishna is blessing each one of us through you. Jai श्री जी जय श्री कृष्ण. Krushnarpanam astu.
Hi Vinay, could you please narrate Bhagawatham? I want to listen to it. Your Podcast with Ranveer about Krishna is changing my life. I’m always in the constant state of bliss and smile on my face.
Namaste watching this was indeed Radha krishnas blessing! You are phenomenal chosen by them to purify souls of everyone listening to this! Radha krishna bless you always
It is pure bliss listening to you. Dashavtaram podcast and Janmashtami podcast on Ranveer’s show took me to a peaceful and beautiful world. Thank you so much 🙏🏻 Words fall short …
Krishna Krishna - Bhakti has the power to pull, you r beautifully conveying that Power. My Namaskarangal to your parents who have done so much punyam to bear you - Dear Vinay . My prayers to Guruvayurappan to continously bless you, when we shall also stand blessed.
With Krishnar Anugraham you are transporting us to a blissful world sir. Bow down to you sir. Radhe Krishna
It's absolutely amazing how u take one topic go around another topic and come back to the original continuation making sense of all the dots. You are beautifully blessed ❤️ Radhe Radhe Jai shri krishna.
Would like to understand more on Lust wrt Krishna gopis and Radha.
No one explained raas leela like this. Such a devine leela of the Lord. Thank you Mr vinay 🙏
🙏🏻 such bliss. Pure bliss. Thank you so much.
Vinayji, fantastic upanyasam. I have heard about when sins and good deeds are zero we get moksha. But I didn't understand how someone's punnya becomes zero. You explained in a very simple way. You might be one of the gopikas in your previous birth Lord krishna had sent you to explain Raasleela. I was so happy.
Blessed to be listening to this beautiful satsang
Felt as though everything is happening in front of my eyes.. Goosebumps n tears flowed vn he lifts pootana.. Y not us.. Radhakrishna is my ಆರಾದ್ಯ ದೈವಾ.. Pls announce in advance ur bangalore spiritual sessions we get a chance to hear u in presence.. Wonderful ✨😍krishna leela pravachana

After hearing this katha 🥹the divine experience we get that we have became more closer to Krishna is something that makes me feel happy and satisfied . I am sure Krishna made you tell this katha . Thanku so much! Waiting to hear the next katha✨🙏🏻
Wow so many links to Krishna's Leela, this was so beautiful, I really felt the warmth and made me a bit tearful listening to it. I also loved your podcast with Ranveer, please continue to spread the Raas from your lotus mouth, thank you very much. RadheRadhe
Love how you respect all sampradayas and explain it with such great nuance! Such a pleasure to listen to you

Just tears of joy listening to this Amritadhara( Dhara=Radha = eternal love) . Pure bliss.
I wish this talk would have gone through my whole life. Makes me believe, his katha is his swaroopam. ❤
