About Srila Haridas Thakur in Sri Chaitanya Caritamrita madhya 11

As soon as Haridasa Thakura saw Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, he immediately fell down like a stick to offer Him obeisances, and Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu raised him up and embraced him. Then both the Lord and His servant began to cry in ecstatic love. Indeed, the Lord was transformed by the qualities of His servant, and the servant was transformed by the qualities of his master.
Haridasa Thakura said, “My dear Lord, please do not touch me, for I am most fallen and untouchable and am the lowest among men. The Lord said, “I wish to touch you just to be purified, for your purified activities do not exist in Me.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu exalted Haridasa Thakura, stating, “At every moment you take your bath in all the holy places of pilgrimage, and at every moment you perform great sacrifices, austerity and charity.  “You are constantly studying the four Vedas, and you are far better than any brahmana or sannyasi.”

Overcome namabhasa

Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur’s DIVINE WORDS

“In order to overcome namabhasa and get the pure name, the jiva must serve the bona fide guru with great attention. By doing this the anarthas will disappear and the pure name endowed with all spiritual potency will dance on the devotee’s tongue. At that time, he will never give up the stream of sweet nectar emanating from the holy name; the jiva will chant constantly, mad with the sweetness of the name. In joy the name will dance, the jiva will dance, and the treasure of love of God will dance—the whole universe will dance and maya will flee.

(Sri Harinam Cintamani)

Sri Mukundamala Stotram

Mahaprabhu reciting in front of Sri Jagannath

jayatu jayatu devo devakī-nandano ‘yam
jayatu jayatu krishno vrishni-vamśa-pradīpah
jayatu jayatu megha-śyāmalah komalāńgo
jayatu jayatu prithvī-bhāra-nāśo mukundah

TRANSLATION

All glories to this Personality of Godhead known as the son of Śrīmatī Devakī devī! All glories to Lord Śrī Krishna, the brilliant light of the Vrishni dynasty! All glories to the Personality of Godhead, the hue of whose soft body resembles the blackish color of a new cloud! All glories to Lord Mukunda, who removes the burdens of the earth!

Consciousness means endowed with free will

“Consciousness means endowed with free will, for without free will no consciousness can be conceived.

An atomic pinpoint of consciousness has very meager free will, and by misuse of their free will some jivas have taken their chance in the material world. They refused to submit to the supreme authority; they wanted to dominate. So, with this germinal idea of domination, the jiva enters into the world of exploitation.

 

In the Bhagavad-gita (7.27) it is stated:

iccha-dvesa samutthena
dvandva-mohena bharata
sarva-bhutani sammoham
sarge yanti parantapa

“Two principles in a crude form awaken in the jiva: hatred and desire. Then, gradually the soul comes down to mingle with the mundane world.”

Srila Saccidananda Bhaktivinod Thakur

Srila Bhaktivionda ThakurAbout Srila Saccidananda Bhaktivinod Thakur

From the Bengal writing of His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev Goswami Maharaj

Prior to Srila Thakur’s preaching, the pure Vaisnava-dharma preached by Sriman Mahaprabhu had become so degraded, corrupted, and disordered by selfish persons that people considered Vaisnava-dharma to be extremely despicable, to be the dharma of detestably low-natured persons. People considered it to be the dharma of the auls, bauls, kartabhajas, sahajiyas, sakhi-bhekis, neda-nedis, and so on, and mocked it.

Yet by the appearance and endeavour of Srila Bhakti Vinod, Vaisnava-dharma became free from degradation, again self-manifested its pure nature as the dharma of the soul situated atop the heads of all other dharmas, and attained beauty like that of the newly risen shining sun in the sky of the world’s dharmas. All the virtuous souls understood that Vaisnava-dharma is the one and only pure (nirmal), effulgent (ujjvala), non-envious (nirmatsara), devotional and pleasing (‘bhakti-vinodan kari’) dharma of the self within which there is no duplicity or contamination. They understood that if all other dharmas are perfectly performed individually and collectively, then they will attain the beautiful position of stairs towards Vaisnava-dharma.
