Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita – Adi Lila Krishnadas Kabiraj bengali 1915

Srila Raghunath’s Danda Mahotsav

Actually Srimon Sri Nityanand Prabhu’s mercy to Srila Raghunath Das Goswami and Srila Dās Goswāmī’s service to Śrimon Nityānanda Prabhu and His associates. This Pastime is described in Śrī Chaitanya-charitāmṛta.

When Śrīman Mahāprahu returned to Gauḍa after taking sannyās, Raghunāth Dās met Him in Śāntipur with the desire of abandoning his family life and staying with the Lord permanently. Śrīman Mahāprabhu instructed him as follows (Cc: 2.16.237–42):

sthira hañā ghare yāo, nā hao vātula
krame krame pāya loka bhava-sindhu-kūla

Be patient and return home. Do not be crazy. Gradually a soul reaches the shore of the ocean of material existence.

markaṭa-vairāgya nā kara loka dekhāñā
yathā-yogya viṣaya bhuñja’ anāsakta hañā

Do not show yourself to the public like a ‘monkey renunciant’. Rather, be detached and befittingly continue your worldly life.

antare niṣṭhā kara, bāhye loka-vyavahāra
achirāt kṛṣṇa tomāya karibe uddhāra

Be firmly devoted to Kṛṣṇa internally, but externally perform your social duties. Kṛṣṇa will rescue you very soon.

Vaishnavism is the absolute love

Comments Off on Vaishnavism is the absolute love

Divine Words of Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur

Vaishnava is ready to honor all men with out distinction of caste, because they are filled with the energy of God. See how universal is the religion of the Bhagavata. It is not intended for a certain class of Hindus alone, but it is a gift to man at large, in whatever country he is born, and in whatever society he is bred. In short, Vaishnavism is the absolute love binding all men together into the infinite unconditioned and absolute God.

Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar MaharajOur inner aspiration for rasa, is buried within our hearts which are tied down and sealed. But hearing and chanting the glories of Krishna breaks the seal on the heart and allows it to awaken and open to Krishna, the reservoir of pleasure, ecstasy Himself.

What is bhajana? It is a transaction of the heart, not of any formality. In Krishna devotion, Krishna-bhakti, the only consideration is the dedication of the heart. Krishna wants that, and not any external formality of the civilized or non-civilized world.

In the deepest plane of Reality, the deepest wave of Krsna consciousness is moving, and there so many jiva-souls are dancing. And that dance is the Absolute Dance wherein everything surrenders to Krsna in the mood of Vrndavan.

We may have erected high walls on all sides to protect ourselves so that Krsna consciousness may not enter, but Krsna is a thief, and a thief requires no invitation. No preparation is necessary for His welcome. He will enter for His own interest, and that is our consolation. Our solace is that Krsna is a thief. Maya has erected her high walls on all sides, but nothing is sufficient to stop Krsna consciousness. Krsna is a thief, and stealthily He will enter one day.

The innermost hankering of every living soul is for Beauty, Love, Affection, and Harmony; not for power, knowledge, or anything else. This is the diagnoses of the whole creation in time and space; their common cause is one. There is only one end – many are not necessary – only one, the one, that very one we want, is a relationship of Divine Love with Krsna.

A show of humility has no value; imitation has no value anywhere. Proper humility can only occur when one feels his connection with the autocratic Lord, his Master. Then only can he feel humble.

Divine Words of His Divine Grace
Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Dev Goswami Maharaj

Faith should be developed with the help of scriptures and saints. They will help us understand that the spiritual world is real and this world is unreal. At that time, this material world will be night to us, and that will be day.
Presently, the eternal world is darkness to us, and we are awake in this mortal world. What is night to one is day to another. A saint is awake in some matter, and a dacoit [thief] is working in another plane. They are living in two separate worlds. A scientist is living in one world; a rowdy is living in another. One’s day is night to another. The ordinary persons cannot see what Einstein and Newton have seen, and what the ordinary man sees is ignored by a great man. So, we have to awaken our interest in that plane, and ignore the interests of this plane.

–An excerpt from Srila Sridhar Maharaj’s The Search for Sri Krishna: Reality the Beautiful (50-51).

Gopāl Govinda Mahanta
Āchāryya vandana

jayare jayare jaya paramahaṁsa mahāśay
śrī bhaktisiddhānta sarasvatī
gosvāmī ṭhākura jaya parama koruṇāmoy
dīnahīna agatira gati

(1) All glories, all glories to the topmost personality, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Saraswatī Goswāmī Ṭhākur, who is an ocean of mercy and the only resort for the fallen souls.

nilāchale hoiyā uday
śrī gauḍamaṇḍale āsi’ prema bhakti parakāśi’
jivera nāśilā bhava-bhay

(2) He made his advent in Śrī Nilāchala, Śrī Puri Dhām. He came to the holy Dhām of Mahāprabhu, manifesting the line of pure devotion and destroying the fear of material life of the conditioned souls.

tomāra mahimā gāi heno sādhya mora nāi
tobe pāri jodi deho śakti
viśvahite avirata āchāra-prachāre rata
viśuddha śrī rūpānuga bhakti

(3) I have no capacity to sing your glories. Only if you empower me can I do so. You are travelling unceasingly all over India, practising and preaching in a dedicated way, the pure and genuine line of devotion in the current of Śrīla Rūpa Goswāmī.

Good association, bad association

Comments Off on Good association, bad association

Vaktritavali by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Thakura Prabhupada

Due to an absence of hearing the topics of Hari from the mouth of saintly persons the bodily and mental propensities exhibit…

If by good association we are given the chance to remain aloof from people busy satisfying their animal propensities, only then can we hope for our own well-being. When people fall into bad association, they consider themselves expert and sometimes become crazy. We should not associate with anyone other than those engaged always in Lord Hari’s service. To worship Hari is the perfection of human life. Don’t waste time. Immediately start your worship of Lord Hari. With firm enthusiasm and confidence dedicate your human form of life to securing the ultimate goal.
If we waste time, other godless and sinful people will have the chance to approach us and influence us with their bad ideals.
