#jayadeva

Says Sant Jayadeva: "In the very beginning was the Primal Lord, unrivaled, the Lover of Truth and other virtues. He is absolutely wonderful, transcending creation; remembering Him, all are emancipated. Within my mind, I chant the Name of the Primal Lord God, the Source of virtue. My vision, that You are I are separate, has melted away."

Sant Jayadeva is one of the earliest Sants known to history. Jayadeva was born during 1170. He's known to the Sikh tradition as Bhagat Jaidev. He was a Sanskrit "loner-poet" who lived during the 12th century and is celebrated for his poetic genius in eastern India. He is the author/composer of the epic poem known as Gita Govinda (The Hymn to the Custodian of Light). Sant Jayadeva is the earliest dated author of hymns that are included the Adi Granth! Today during this Sant Mat Satsang Podcast you'll hear readings from, Unveiling the Garden of Love -- Mystical Symbolism in Layla Majnun and Gita Govinda (Sufi Mysticism and the Teachings of Sant Jayadeva in the Gita Govinda). And then, I share readings from the Mystic Verses of Sant Jayadeva: Gurbani by Bhagat Jaidev in the Adi Granth, one of the earliest known Sants: Hymn # One on Page 526 of the Adi Granth with commentary, followed by the reading of Hymn # Two on page 1106 with commentary.

A Satsang Without Walls

Sant Mat Radhasoami

Kamadeva Disturbs Krishna's Penance, folio from a Gita Govinda, Rajasthan, India, ca. 1650

Brooklyn Museum

Provenance: donated by Mr. and Mrs. Robert L. Poster 1990

Sheet: 7 5/8 x 9 3/4 in. (19.4 x 24.8 cm)

The Gita Govinda गीत गोविन्द (Song of Govinda) is a work composed by the 12th-century Indian poet, Jayadeva. It describes the relationship between Krishna and the gopis (female cow herders) of Vrindavana, and in particular one gopi named Radha. The text also elaborates the eight moods of Heroine, the Ashta Nayika, which has been an inspiration for many compositions and choreographic works in Indian dances.

Bhakt Jayadeva - Odia or Bengali?

On 16th April, 2007, Shah Rukh Khan, the host of Kaun Banega Crorepati III, asked the contestant the following question - "In which language did the poet Jayadeva write Gita Gobinda?" What the correct answer is, what the contestant replied or how much money the contestant made that day in KBC, is insignificant. What is significant is that, in the follow-up discussion about the question, SRK said that Jayadeva was the court poet of King Lakshmanasena of Bengal!

All hell broke loose in Odisha. SRK was denounced for spreading false information. The government of Odisha demanded an apology from KBC claiming that the game show "mutilated historical facts" and "hurt the feelings of the people of Odisha". The Jayadeva Foundation Trust of Odisha launched a protest against the TV show. In short, mayhem!

So, was it a genuine error on the part of SRK and KBC? Or, is there a genuine confusion about nativity of the great poet-saint? Therein lies a tale.

The root cause of the confusion and controversy is the name of the village Sant Jayadev is supposed to be a native of.

The Odias believe that he lived in a village called Kenduli Sasan, in Khurda district, a few kilometers from Puri.

The Bengalis accept Jaydev Kenduli, a village on the coast of River Ajay, in Birbhum district, near Shantiniketan, as the native place of Jayadev.

Incidentally, there are two more Kendulis - one in Bihar and another in Maharasthra, but thankfully they are not contending to be native places of the poet-saint.

But how did this confusion start, in the first place? Firstly, a Bengali book, Jayadeva Charita, authored by an Odia poet, Banamali Das, in 1803, mentions that the great poet belonged to Bengal. Subsequently other Bengali historians propound the same.

Next, Jayadev himself mentions that he was born in a village called Kendubilva. Somehow, this Birbhum Kendui village gets identified as his birthplace. A traditional Baul festival held every year is renamed Jayadeva Mela and this village get the title - Jayadeva Kenduli.

On the other hand, the Odia lobby points to archaeological evidence to support their claim. Inscriptions at the Lingaraj temple in Bhubaneswar tell us that Jayadeva had been a member of the teaching faculty of the school at Srikurmapataka, near Puri in Odisha.

They also refer to various manuscripts found in Mithila, Gwalior, Maharashtra, Andhra and Assam that support Jayadeva's birthplace in Odisha.

Finally, they refer to Jayadev's own writings, which say his birthplace is "Kendubilva Samudra Sambhava", meaning "Kendubilva by the sea". They point out Kenduli in Orissa is by the sea and the one in Bengal is by the river.

In any case, the controversy raged.

In July 2009, the Government of India released postal stamps of Jayadev and the Dasavataras in Gita Gobida in Bhubaneshwar. Chief minister, Naveen Pattnaik did the honours. 8 lac stamps @ INR 5 were printed.

It is now more or less accepted that Bhakt Jayadeva was born, lived and chanted the Lord's name in Odisha. But staunch Bengalis have their own opinion. And let's not forget who the producer of Kaun Banega Crorepati was back then - Siddharth Basu, the father of Indian quizzing, a Bengali. Somewhere a small bias might have been there!

🔵  Here’s a little BLUESDAY inspiration from our Asian art collection, currently on view in Infinite Blue.

The Gita Govinda is a poem written by the twelfth-century poet Jayadeva. It describes the tumultuous love between the god Krishna and the milkmaid Radha. With its melding of romantic and religious sentiments, the Gita Govinda explores an important form of bhakti (devotion), in which a worshipper’s intense relationship with god is compared to a passionate love affair. This illustration from the poem shows Krishna three times: alone; cavorting with a group of women; and then finally reunited with his beloved Radha.
