Song Name: Kalau Yam Vidvamsah Sphutam

Official Name: Volume 1 Dvitiya Sri Caitanyastakam

Author: Rupa Goswami

Book Name: Stavamala

Language: Sanskrit

kalau yaḿ vidvaḿsaḥ sphuṭam abhiyajante dyuti-bharād
akṛṣṇāńgaḿ kṛṣṇaḿ makha-vidhibhir utkīrtanamayaiḥ
upāsyaḿ ca prāhur yam akhila-caturthāśrama-juṣāḿ
sa devaś caitanyākṛtir atitarāḿ naḥ kṛpayatu

By performing the sacrifice of congregational chanting of the holy name, scholars in the age of Kali worship Lord Krsna, who is now non-blackish because of the great upsurge of feelings of Srimati Radharani. He is the only worshipable Deity for the paramahamsas, who have attained the highest stage of the fourth order (sannyasa). May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Caitanya, show us His great causeless mercy.

Official Name: Volume 1 Prathama Caitanyastaka

Author: Rupa Goswami

Book Name: Stavamala

Language: Sanskrit

sadopāsyaḥ śrīmān dhṛta-manuja-kāyaiḥ praṇayitāḿ

sva-bhaktebhyaḥ śuddhasḿ nija-bhajana-mudrām upadiśan
sa caitanyaḥ kiḿ me punar api dṛśor yāsyati padam

Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu is always the most worshipable Deity of the demigods, including Lord Siva and Lord Brahma, who came in the garb of ordinary men bearing love for Him. He instructs His own pure devotional service to His own devotees. Will He again become visible before the path of my eyes?

Comments Off on The compass is the only guide

“Srimad-Bhagavatam says that just as in the vast ocean, when nothing else can be seen, the compass is the only guide, so in the world of the infinite, our only guide is the footsteps of those great souls who have traveled on the path of faith. The way has been marked by the holy footsteps of those who have gone to the highest quarter. That is our only hope.”

(Srila B.R. Sridhara Dev Goswami Maharaja)

Sridhar Dev Goswami

bhidyate hrdaya-granthis
chidyante sarva-samsayah
ksiyante casya karmani
mayi drste ‘khilatmani

“Our inner aspiration for rasa, ecstasy, is buried in the heart and the heart is tied down and sealed. But hearing and chanting the glories of Krsna breaks the seal of the heart, and the heart awakens and opens to receive Krsna, the reservoir of pleasure, ecstasy Himself (rasa vai sah, akhila rasamrta murtih).”

Śrīmad Bhāgavatam 1.1.14

āpannaḥ saḿsṛtiḿ ghorāḿ
yan-nāma vivaśo gṛṇan
tataḥ sadyo vimucyeta
yad bibheti svayaḿ bhayam

Living beings who are entangled in the complicated meshes of birth and death can be freed immediately by even unconsciously chanting the holy name of Kṛṣṇa, which is feared by fear personified.

Divine Words of Srila B.R.Sridhar Dev Goswami

aho ananta-dasanam, mahattvam drstam adya me
krtagaso ‘pi yad rajan, mangalani samihase
(S.Bhag. 9:5:14)

“O King, today I have experienced the greatness of the devotees of God, of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, because in spite of my offense against you, you have prayed for my protection.”

Durvasa was astounded to find the depth of generosity in the servitors of Ananta, Narayana. That great rsi began to speak aloud, to announce on all sides the magnanimity, the nobility of the servitors of Narayana: “How great they are! I did so much wrong towards him, and he saved my life from the reaction, the danger that came as reaction! I insulted him, and he is honouring me so much.”

Srimad Bhagavatam 2.1.5

tasmād bhārata sarvātmā
bhagavān īśvaro hariḥ
śrotavyaḥ kīrtitavyaś ca
smartavyaś cecchatābhayam

Translation:
 

O descendant of King Bharata, one who desires to be free from all miseries must hear about, glorify and also remember the Personality of Godhead, who is the Supersoul, the controller and the savior from all miseries.

Srimad Bhagavad Gita 2.66

nasti buddhir ayuktasya, na chayuktasya bhavana
na chabhavayatah santir, asantasya kutah sukham [66]

ayuktasya–For a person without self-control; na asti–there is no; buddhih–wisdom, self-knowledge. ayuktasya–For such a person devoid of this intelligence; na cha (asti)–there is no; bhavana–meditation on the Lord, purity of thought. abhavayatah–For one without meditation; na cha (asti)–there is no; santih–peace. asantasya–For a person who has no peace; kutah–where is; sukham–happiness?

A person bereft of self-control can have neither wisdom nor meditation. Without meditation, there is no peace, and without peace, where is the hope for happiness?
