Gurudev's Expectation

His Divine Grace
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj,
Sri Nabadwip Dham, 31 March 2010, part 4

 

When Mahaprabhu spoke to both Sanatan Goswami and Ramananda Ray, they made similar remarks. For example, when Mahaprabhu was having a conversation about Krishna consciousness with Ramananda Ray, Ramananda Ray said,

tomara sammukhe dekhi kanchana-panchalika
tanra gaura-kantye tomara sarva anga dhaka

"I now see You appearing like a golden doll, and Your entire body appears covered by a golden lustre.

"What is happening? Prabhu, when I am talking to You, when You are asking questions, I see You are Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, your colour is of golden lustre, but when I am explaining Krishna consciousness, I suddenly see Krishna's beauty and form in front of me!" It is said in the scriptures:

krsna-varnam tvisakrsnam
sangopangastra-parsadam
yajnaih sankirtana-prayair
yajanti hi su-medhasah

"Those of sharp intellect will worship Krishna who appears with a non-black bodily hue, who is armed and surrounded by His associates and servants, and who always chants the Holy Names."

(Srimad Bhagavatam, 11.5.32)

Then, it makes me think who is that avatar of Kali-yuga in this world?

raya kahe,—prabhu tumi chhada bhari-bhuri
mora age nija-rupa na kariha churi

Ramananda Ray replied, "My dear Lord, please give up all these serious talks. Please do not conceal Your real form from me."

Then, you are asking me about subjective revolution. On that day of his Vyasa Puja day, Gurudev said that some things would come after him in Chaitanya Saraswat Math. This is his expectation and his hope, and by the mercy of all the devotees, we can continue preaching. Gurudev named Sripad Avadhut Maharaj in Russia, Sripad Janardan Maharaj in the USA, Sripad Ashram Maharaj in Mexico, Sripad Goswami Maharaj, et al. He told everybody's names—they are all good friends of Gurudev; they are supporting me, and I also always wait for their mercy. With their help, this Krishna consciousness will produce a big revolution in the world. Big things will happen through Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math all over the world, more preaching will come. That is the wish of Gurudev, so it is sure to happen.

Srila Jiva Goswami Prabhu: The All-Rounder
'Srila Jiva Goswami Prabhu did everything alone—he cooked, did puja, cleaned the temple, brought water from the Yamuna, and also did personal service to his Guru. He was busy with his service from morning to night, and did everything alone.'

 

Sri-guru-charana-padma
'Make the teachings from Sri Guru's lotus mouth one with your heart, and do not desire anything else within your heart. Attachment to Sri Guru's feet is the best path. By his mercy all desires are fulfilled.'
শ্রীগুরুচরণ-পদ্ম

If you keep these desires in your heart, that is not good. You must try to remove it as soon as the seed appears—kill it through chanting.
