'You must always keep yourselves within the shelter of spiritual life. How
should you practise Krishna consciousness? How can you come to the Lord? What
should you do to get rid of all the unwanted elements within you?'

Bogus
Kirtan – Bogus Devotion
"People chant kirtans going house to house for their own purpose. They
you serve the Lord hoping to get something in return, but if you practise
bogus kirtan, you will not get any result. People do this to earn
money; it is business."

(3.1) THE WRITTEN WORD
'All over the world Srila Guru Maharaj arranged the fire sacrifice of
sankirtan and we are the ingredients to fuel the flames of that fire,
but if we hide ourselves from there then that is not real saving, but that is
suiciding. That is, everything is transcendentally arranged there and
therefore we cannot feel the burning sensation. Only we can feel the
transcendental joyful nourishment of the mood of sacrifice.'

SARANAGATI GITI: Sarvasva tomara charane sapiya
‘Submitting everything at Your feet, I have come to Your home. You are my
Master, so please consider me Your dog. Sitting or lying down, I will always
think about Your feet. As soon as You call me, I will come to You,
dancing.’
Sri Sri Prema-Dhama Deva Stotram (Part Seven, chanted on Fridays)
'He is a holy embodiment of the beautiful reality which is beyond the reach
of one’s eyes and ears, which paralyses the very necessity of intelligence
and which leaves even firmly fixed consciousness dumbstruck when divine love
surges up – even Brahma, Sambhu (Siva), as well as their revealed scriptures,
Vedas and tantras cannot conceive of such reality, so they merely keep
searching after Him – I am singing in praise of this beautiful Lord Sri
Gauranga-sundar, a worshippable Deity of divine love.'

Our Happiness
and Mission
'This is the most valuable and important knowledge for us in our lives. You
think that you know everything, but there is no question of knowing
everything – first you must know who you are.'
Today in the calendar:
Krishna Saptami. Disappearance of Srila Abhiram Thakur.
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj: "We should
always check the calendar, and when we see some dates mentioned there, even
if we do not know anything about the Vaishnav or events mentioned there, we
can at least give 'jay' to them—that also brings some good sukriti, some
purification to us. Seeing the calendar and taking devotees' names early in
the morning, from the beginning of the day, is very good for all devotees. We
must always remember disappearance and appearance days of all Vaishnavs. If
we can remember such personalities, such great souls, it will bring great
benefit to our spiritual lives."
|
From a purport found in Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita:
"Sri Ramadas, later known as Abhiram Thakur, was one of the twelve
gopals, or cowherd boyfriends, of Sri Nityananda Prabhu. The
Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika (126) states that Sri Ramadasa was formerly Sridam.
By the order of Sri Nityananda Prabhu, Abhiram Thakur became a great
acharya and preacher of the Chaitanya cult of devotional service. He was a
very influential personality, and nondevotees were very much afraid of him.
Empowered by Sri Nityananda Prabhu, he was always in ecstasy and was
extremely kind to all fallen souls. It is said that if he offered obeisances
to any stone other than a salagrama-sila, it would immediately fracture. It
is also said that Abhiram Thakur had a whip and that whoever he touched with
it would immediately become an elevated devotee of Krishna. Among his many
disciples, Sriman Srinivas Acharya was the most famous and the most dear,
but it is doubtful that he was his initiated disciple."

'We are so fortunate that we have many things, now it is the time to use that
“property” properly. I heard from Srila Guru Maharaj the phrase, “religion is
proper adjustment.” Everything has been given but it is necessary for us to
make proper adjustment: to understand who we are; what our duty is; who is
Krishna, and who is His servitor.'

SARANAGATI GITI: Atma-nivedana tuya pade kari
‘Submitting myself at Your feet, I have become extremely happy. All my
unhappiness is gone far away, and I no longer worry about anything – I see
happiness in all directions.’
Sri Sri Prema-Dhama Deva Stotram (Part Six, chanted on Thursdays)
'Captivated by and afflicted with an intense feeling of separation, He runs
swiftly to the simha-dvara gate of Lord Jagannathdev’s holy temple;
the next moment He falls down on the spot, His holy figure transformed into
that of a tortoise by the influence of deep separation; attracted by the
uncommon divine fragrance emanating from His holy figure, the Telangi cows
residing at the temple draw near, surrounding Him – I am singing in praise of
this beautiful Lord Sri Gauranga-sundar, a worshippable Deity of divine
love.'

to Holy Dham

guru, Vaishnav and the Lord. There is no other way. Chant the Holy
Name of the Lord, think about the Lord. Practise Krishna consciousness. I do

(2.5) PRESENT POSITION, BRIGHTEST PROSPECT
'When we walk along a path we may step on many blades of durvasa grass, but
when that same kind of grass is offered to the Lord we take that upon our
head. We cannot even think to crush it beneath our feet. Why? We cannot think
such a thing because we know it has been offered to Krishna therefore it has
assumed a transcendental position. So Krishna says, “If you can do everything
for My satisfaction then you will have no debt, and furthermore you will be
benefited even while in this mundane plane.” This is the main principle to be
followed for our living in this world.'
• SRI GAUDIYA GITANJALI •
SARANAGATI GITI: Gora pahu na bhajiya mainu
‘I did not worship Gora’s feet, I did not care for the jewel treasure of
divine love! I have lost my chance! Why am I still alive? What joy is there
in this life? Oh, why did Narottam Das not just die?…’
Sri Sri Prema-Dhama Deva Stotram (Part Five, chanted on Wednesdays)
'He reveals (first, to Sri Sanatan and then to Prakasananda) sixty-two
interpretations of the famous verse ‘Atmaramas cha… ittham-bhuta-guno
harih’ (‘Even self-realised, self-satisfied souls are moved to worship
the Lord’) from Srimad Bhagavatam; interpreting the various lexical
meanings of the eleven words of this verse, juxtaposed in different ways, He
reveals a treasure-mine of multitudinous meanings of this verse in consonance
with the precepts of pure devotional conclusions – I am singing in praise of
this beautiful Lord Sri Gauranga-sundar, a worshippable Deity of divine
love.'

Das Babaji Maharaj: 'My Close Friend'
From the holy lotus mouth of Srila B.R. Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj: 'Our
connection was something above the conscious area of our experience, it was a
causeless connection, and we had much in common in many ways. I met him first
in 1926 or so. I found him shortly after I joined Gaudiya Math...'
Today in the calendar:
Krishna Panchami. Disappearance of Srila Krishnadas Babaji Maharaj.
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj: "Even if you do
not know anything about the Vaishnav mentioned in the calendar, you must
still give them 'jay' on this day. We must always remember disappearance and
appearance days of all Vaishnavs. If we can remember such personalities, such
great souls, it will bring a great benefit to our spiritual life."
"We should always check the calendar, and when we see some dates mentioned

(2.4) ADJUSTING TO HIS ACCOUNT
'At the present time we cannot do pure service and we cannot chant Krishna’s
Name properly. For example, we know from Guru, Vaishnav, and
sastra that Krishna and Krishna-nama are the same; why then do
we not receive the result of Krishna Himself appearing within our hearts when
we chant Krishna-nama? We must consider this point. The result of
chanting real Krishna-nama is that Krishna will appear in the heart,
but Krishna is not appearing within our hearts, therefore we know we are not
engaging in real Krishna-nama. Therefore, in our present position we
are in the stage of practising, and this is also true for other forms of
service. By practising here, the force of our habit will put us in good
standing. If we practise chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, then
even while sleeping, that Hare Krishna mantra will appear within us.
If we practise doing service, then also while sleeping we shall think of
service.'

'Overcome with strong bouts of divine love surging through Him and becoming
unconscious of the world around Him, He dances madly and chants
kirtan; the tears streaming incessantly from His eyes flood His body,
the colour of molten gold and tall as the mount Sumeru, His clothes, the
colour of the newly risen sun, and the earth in all fourteen directions
around Him; He glows as He chants, ‘Krishna! Krishna!’, shouts jumbled up
words and relishes various postures and behaviours (roaring with laughter,
etc.) under the influence of divine love – I am singing in praise of this
beautiful Lord Sri Gauranga-sundar, a worshippable Deity of divine love.'
