Radhe Radhe !!!
Please, I have some questions.
In the Rasika Sampradayas, do they give Siddha Pranali Diksa (Ekadas Bhava)? No.
Is Manjari Bhava exclusive to Gaudiya Vaisnavas? Yes.
Then during Bhajana how do the Rasikas (Haridas, Hariram Vyas, Harivansh, Vallabhacarya, etc) meditate?
With which form (Svarupa), Sakhis, Gopis, Manjaris?
Which one? Sakhis.
====================
Hari Trai of Vrindavan (The three Rasikas whose name starts with Hari) - Sri Haridas, Sri Hariram Vyas, and Sri Harivansh.
====================
"Nikunj rasik:
Both are tad-tad-bhāvecchāmayī, not saṁbhogecchāmayī. The distinction lies in the realm and the intencity of the bhāva.
In Vraja, they gain entrance to the most intimate līlās but parikaras of other various rasas also present in Vraj. But in the Nikunja, the very fabric of existence is woven solely from the essence of Madhura-rasa!
Here, the Sakhīs embody the pinnacle of bhāva, mirroring the most exalted intensity of Yugala-sevā. Their hearts resonate with the most profound currents of divine longing, their very being attuned to the ever-unfolding depths of Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa’s Vilāsa.
Vraja is the gateway; Nikunja is the culmination. The passage is one of rasa-praveśa, where each step is an offering, and each surrender unveils a higher octave of sevā.
The Sakhi-bhāva we speak of (Nikinj mahal Sakhi) and the Manjari-bhāva are of one current, flowing in harmony.
The only distinction, as we have pondered before, is this: While Manjaris have access to exclusive realm of Jugal Sarkar, Sakhis live ONLY in exclusive realm."
