Srila Bhakti Raksaka Sridhar deva Goswami

“We are teeny souls. How much can we accommodate with our faith? How wide and how broad is our faith? What can we catch within our faith? What we are seeking is infinite, and we are very much afraid; “Oh, if I rely on faith, something may go wrong. I may be deceived.” But within our teeny hearts, how much faith can we contain? Only by analogy with the sky or the ocean may we understand anything about the infinite, but what is that in comparison? Nothing.

And what is the infinite? That from which everything is coming, by which everything is maintained, and into which everything is ultimately entering; the all-comprehensive, all-permeating, all-controlling, all-attracting, all-feeling Absolute.

So everything is all right with the infinite and the environment. We have only to correct ourselves, to adjust ourselves. This is the conclusion – ”Try to adjust yourself; everything is all right with the environment. We must leave everything to the Supreme Lord and conduct ourselves accordingly.” That will bring us real peace and progressive realization in spiritual life.”

Idea Behind The Sound

Idea Behind The Sound

And where do we start? Through nama, divine sound, it is easy to begin the spiritual quest. The most subtle thing in our experience here is sound. And it is cheap, much easier than dravya, yajna and so many other things which are to be gathered. Sound comes freely and without any expense. So our research can begin with sound, but that sound must be of divine characteristic.

Just as the medicine in a homeopathic globule cannot be shown by the outer figure, so also only when sound, the name Krishna comes from the proper person, then Krishna’s will is there within. In other words, Krishna from the mouth of a sadhu and Krishna from the mouth of an ordinary person is not one and the same. Just like the potency of the homeopathic globule depends on the medicine within. The idea behind the sound, from where it comes, whether from Vaikuntha, Goloka, or some particular rasa, to that place the sound will gradually assert itself and take you there. The sound, Vaikuntha nama grahanam, must come from the infinite world, Vaikuntha, not from any mundane origin. So the inner potency is to be discerned and detected. To a certain extent, I am able to give some idea.

The truth of the matter

Comments Off on The truth of the matter

Srimad Bhagavat Tatparya
Gaudiya Gosthipati Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Goswami Thakur

The truth of the matter is—we tend to always invite the path of danger. Even if we try to discuss topics concerning our ultimate benefit, we will always fail to realize the transcendental nature of the Absolute Truth. Besides this, we are always afflicted with various diseases and causes of lamentation, and we are dependent upon others. There is no one in this world who can deliver us from the great danger we face—only the dearmost associates of Sri Hari and no one else are actually able to show us the true path of auspiciousness.

The Supreme Lord is the absolute complete whole. As long as we remain attracted to incomplete objects, and as long as false ego, false pride and false proprietorship remain prominent within our hearts, we cannot make any progress on the path of realizing the Absolute Truth.

What has Sri Caitanyadeva abstracted from Srimad Bhagavatam ? The worship of the Supreme Lord, Sri Krsna. This is the ultimate teaching of Srimad-Bhagavatam .

I am grateful to those who help me in my spiritual understanding in a real sense, in the true sense of the word, not in a formal way. In a real sense, in a real sense, the one who cuts the bonds, who helps to free myself from bondage, who allows me to see the light and helps me to satisfy my thirst for inner understanding or achieving , fullness of life, that is my Guru.

From Jagannath Ashtakam:

महाम्भोधेस्तीरे कनक रुचिरे नील शिखरे
वसन् प्रासादान्तः सहज बलभद्रेण बलिना ।
सुभद्रा मध्यस्थः सकलसुर सेवावसरदो
जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन-पथ-गामी भवतु मे ॥३॥

mahāmbhodhestīre kanaka rucire nīla śikhare
vasan prāsādāntaḥ sahaja balabhadreṇa balinā .
subhadrā madhyasthaḥ sakalasura sevāvasarado
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana-patha-gāmī bhavatu me (3)

Residing on the shore of the great ocean, within a large palace situated upon the crest of the brilliant, golden Nilacala Hill, along with his powerful brother Bala-bhadra, and in the middle of them his sister Subhadra, Lord Jagannatha bestows the opportunity for devotional service upon all godly souls. May that lord be the object of my vision.

न वै याचे राज्यं न च कनक माणिक्य विभवं
न याचेऽहं रम्यां सकल जन काम्यां वरवधूम् ।
सदा काले काले प्रमथ पतिना गीतचरितो
जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन पथ गामी भवतु मे ॥७॥

na vai yāce rājyaṃ na ca kanaka māṇikya vibhavaṃ
na yāce’haṃ ramyāṃ sakala jana kāmyāṃ varavadhūm .
sadā kāle kāle pramatha patinā gītacarito
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana patha gāmī bhavatu me (7)

I do not pray for a kingdom, nor for gold, rubies, and wealth. I do not ask for an excellent and beautiful wife as desired by all men. I simply pray that lord, whose glories are always sung by Lord Siva, be the constant object of my vision.

कदाचित् कालिन्दी तट विपिन सङ्गीत तरलो
मुदाभीरी नारी वदन कमला स्वाद मधुपः
रमा शम्भु ब्रह्मामरपति गणेशार्चित पदो
जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन पथ गामी भवतु मे ॥१॥

kadācit kālindī taṭa vipina saṅgīta taralo

ramā śambhu brahmāmarapati gaṇeśārcita pado
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana patha gāmī bhavatu me ..1..

Sometimes in great happiness Lord Jagannatha, with his flute, makes a loud concert in the groves on the banks of the Yamuna. He is like a bumblebee who tastes the beautiful lotus-like faces of the cowherd damsels of Vraja, and his lotus feet are worshiped by Lakshmi, Siva, Brahma, Indra and Ganesa. May that lord be the object of my vision.

भुजे सव्ये वेणुं शिरसि शिखिपिच्छं कटितटे
दुकूलं नेत्रान्ते सहचर-कटाक्षं विदधते ।
सदा श्रीमद्‍-वृन्दावन-वसति-लीला-परिचयो
जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन-पथ-गामी भवतु मे ॥२॥

bhuje savye veṇuṃ śirasi śikhipicchaṃ kaṭitaṭe

sadā śrīmad-vṛndāvana-vasati-līlā-paricayo
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana-patha-gāmī bhavatu me ..2..

In his left hand Lord Jagannatha holds a flute. On his head he wears the feathers of peacocks and on his hips he wears fine yellow silken cloth. Out of the corners of his eyes he bestows sidelong glances upon his loving devotees and he always reveals himself through his pastimes in his divine abode of Vrindavana. May that lord be the object of my vision.

महाम्भोधेस्तीरे कनक रुचिरे नील शिखरे
वसन् प्रासादान्तः सहज बलभद्रेण बलिना ।
सुभद्रा मध्यस्थः सकलसुर सेवावसरदो
जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन-पथ-गामी भवतु मे ॥३॥

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.
