The demigods in aprakata lila - what rasa?

Kalpataru Dasa - August 25, 2013 8:16 pm

Swami says that in Goloka there is no śanta rasa, but all other rasas, yes. So what's the rasa of the demigods there? Today I read in Gopal Campu the description of demigods being extremely sad when Krishna leaves the pastures and goes home, because they can't see him anymore, so they stay there all night waiting for him to come out again. So this definitely doesn't sound like śanta rasa as I understand it (as kind of neutral delight). But it doesn't sound to me like any other rasa neither.

Any thoughts?
