BHAKTI

The Bhakti schools speak about Go-loka. Is it the same as Sri Vaikunta? If not, what is the difference?

Go-Loka is not the same as Sri Vaikunta. Only those who revel in the epitome of Prema Bhakti attain the Go-Loka. It is even greater than the Vaikunta.

A person thinks that God is always with him physically and mentally — God is eating, sleeping, talking and walking along with him. It is just an imagination. There is nothing called real divine experience. Am I not right?

Initially it is an imagination. This imagination is called Bhava Bhakti. It is very rare to attain this state.
This imagination becomes true one day. Then it is called Sakshatkara (Realization). This is the Real Experience, and is the rarest of the rarest.

In the bhakti path, Srimad Bhagavatam recommends us to meditate on the form of Narayana who is ‘chaturbhuja’ (four armed). Other followers of Sri Chaïtanya Mahaprabhu say that the human form of Sri Krishna is “vigraha” the higher, verily and wholly spiritual form, because we can develop more relationship through it. What is the real importance of the form of Godhead? Is one form of Godhead more beneficial for this Kali Yuga in association with the chanting of Mahamantra?

For meditation, one can take to either the ‘Chaturbhuja’ form of Narayana or the ‘Dvibhuja’ (two armed) form of Sri Krishna. One form of the Lord is not necessarily higher or lower than the other.
When some saints speak of the greatness of one form over the other, they do so only enhance the faith of a spiritual aspirant / devotee in the form that the aspirant/devotee has already been contemplating on. Saints never try to discourage anyone’s faith.
When such statements are interpreted out of context, they cause confusion.
