Vyāsadeva Manifested All His Knowledge in the Heart of Śukadeva Gosvāmī

She is a gopé. Kåñëa had told Yogamäyä, “You should somehow try to give this gopé to Brahmä; otherwise, she cannot be parakéya (My paramour beloved)”. All the gopés are married to other gopas. Kåñëa therefore ordered Yogamäyä to also arrange this for Gäyatré-devi, so that her love and relationship with Kåñëa could be parakéya. This is why Gäyatré was given to Brahmä in marriage. From the beginning she had no love for Brahmä; she loved only Kåñëa. Parakéya mood is the topmost mood, and Gäyatré became the maidservant of Rädhikä by that mood. We see that the essence of all the Vedic literatures is Gäyatré. Gäyatré is Rädhikä, or Her maidservant, and that mood may come to anyone who serves this mantra. This is a special thing. My heart told me that I should tell you this secret truth about Gäyatré. This is a secret; I never told this before.

Vyāsadeva Manifested All His Knowledge In the Heart of Śukadeva Gosvāmī

All these truths have been clearly revealed by Çréla Vyäsadeva in the first verse of Çrémad-Bhägavatam. Had he not come to this world, “everything would have been nothing.” He revealed this gäyatré-mantra, as well as the catur-çloka of Çrémad-Bhägavatam and its explanation, and he especially revealed the highest love of the mahäbhäva of Çrématé Rädhikä. He revealed the meaning of Çrémad-Bhägavatam, he manifested all Puräëas and especially the Mahäbhärata, and the essence of all these scriptures is the same. Çréla Vyäsadeva first taught his four disciples – Jaimini, Vaiçampäyana, Paila, and Aìgirä – and he especially taught his dearest one, Çréla Çukadeva Gosvämé. Çukadeva Gosvämé was not only his son, but also his dear-most disciple. Çréla Vyäsadeva manifested all his knowledge in the heart of Çréla Çukadeva Gosvämé, who then preached it everywhere.
