KULASEKHAR'S SAMSLESHBHAVA

¹Kulasekhar's  ²Samsleshbahava

Bhaktirasa surpasses navarasas, either singly or collectively. Its impact lasts longer, and unlike others makes life achieve its goal immortaty-janmarahitya. When one tastes it, and drinks it stomachful, he feels oblivious of environs, becomes one with God, losing identiy one. Genuine devotees, who yearn merging their spark in the Paranjyoti, often in their ecstatic raptures become liquefied and flow down to reach the lotus feet of the Lord. In that state, they utter and act which elude the interpretation, and transcend rules of logic and grammar. The samsleshabhava that results then being rare in kind and uncommon in experience keeps the mouths of the on-lookers open for ever. Among the legion, the example of Kulasekhar Alwar, the Chera kink of great renown tops the list and he is second to none in the experience of samsleshabhava ; for, he bids armies to go across the waters to Ceylon to assist Sri Rama against Ravana, on listening that Sri Rama is fighting alone the demon hordes. See what happens then...
