How wonderful is the influence of inevitable time

Comments Off on How wonderful is the influence of inevitable time

After the Battle of Kurukṣetra, Śrī Bhīṣmadeva described to King Yudhiṣṭhira his wonder at this:

yatra dharma-suto rājā
gadā-pāṇir vṛkodaraḥ
kṛṣṇo ’strī gāṇḍivaṁ cāpaṁ
suhṛt kṛṣṇas tato vipat

na hy asya karhicid rājan
pumān vetti vidhitsitam
yad-vijijñāsayā yuktā
muhyanti kavayo ’pi hi

“Oh, how wonderful is the influence of inevitable time! It is irreversible — otherwise, how can there be reverses in the presence of King Yudhiṣṭhira, the son of the demigod controlling religion; Bhīma, the great fighter with a club; the great bowman Arjuna with his mighty weapon Gāṇḍīva; and above all, the Lord, the direct well-wisher of the Pāṇḍavas? O King, no one can know the plan of the Lord [Śrī Kṛṣṇa]. Even though great philosophers inquire exhaustively, they are bewildered.” (Bhāg. 1.9.15-16)

All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga
Once long ago there lived a demon named Hiranyaksa. He was the younger brother of Hiranyakasipu and he caused the earth to fall more and more in the water at the bottom of the universe. Lord Brahma who created the universe felt helpless, he didn’t know what to do! Finally he went to Lord Vishnu and took shelter of Him. While lord Brahma was still meditating a tiny boar appeared out of his nostril. He was as small as the tip of his nose. The little boar grew and grew until He filled up the entire universe with His giant body. He roared and roared tremendously. All the demigods and saints were very terrified and very astonished.

Comments Off on Lord Nityananda distributed Lord Gauranga’s name


Day and night Lord Caitanya was intoxicated with the intense desire to taste the sweetness of Sri Radhika’s divine love for Sri Krsna. Sriman Mahaprabhu instructed Lord Nityananda and His associates to go out and profusely distribute the holy names of Lord Krsna. However, Lord Nityananda instead plentifully distributed Lord Gauranga’s name, the most precious fortune available to the living entities, with no impediment at all. Let us eternally worship that great personality Sri Nityanandacandra, who freely grants the association of Sri Gaurangadeva, who is none other than Lord Krsna.

Comments Off on Ke jabi ke jabi – Who will go

Ke jabi ke jabi

ke jabi ke jabi bhāi bhava-sindhu pāra
dhanya kali-yuge re chaitanya avatāra

(1) Who will go, oh brother, who will go to cross the ocean of material existence? The wealth and great fortune of this age of Kali is the incarnation of Lord Chaitanya.

āmāra gaurāṅgera ghāṭe ujānakheyā boy
kaḍipāti nāhi lāge amani pāra hoy

(2) My Lord Gauranga stands at the jetty ready to ferry His servants upstream across this material existence. For no charge He is immediately taking them.

harināmera tarīkhāni śrī-guru-kāṇḍārī
saṅkīrttana-keroyāla du’bahu pasāri

(3) The ferry-boat is the Holy Names of the Lord and the spiritual master is the captain. The oars are the outstretched arms in the sankirttan.

sarvva-jīva uddhāra hoilo premera bātāse
lochana paḍiyā roilo karamera doṣe

(4) The favourable wind is divine love for Lord Krishna and all the fallen souls have been rescued on this boat. Only Lochan Das is left behind due to the faults of his own misdeeds.

Comments Off on Devotees drink this nectarean poetry


gaura-kathā payorāśī, kṛṣṇa-dāsa tāhe bhāsi’
āniyāchhe amṛtera dhāra
sei kāvya-sudhā pāne, vaiṣṇava śītala prāṇe,
āro pite chāhe bāra bāra

(Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur)

“While floating in the milk-reservoir of Sri Gaurasundar’s glory, Krishna Das has brought (into this world) a stream of nectar (Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita). Devotees drink this nectarean poetry, cool their hearts, and desire to drink it again and again.”
