Attend to Kirtan—Attain Kirtan
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj
Sri Nabadwip Dham, evening class, part 1
7 November 2012, mostly translated from Bengali
[After chanting all evening kirtans, plus all the Siksastakam songs:]
Are you sleepy? These were the Siksastakam kirtans. If you do not understand them, what will you do? These are very high level kirtans, very high conception, we do not have now the power to understand them. Even we start singing them, but do not get strength to finish all of them. But do you get taste for taking plain dal and subji every day? At first good taste is not coming, you want to eat some other things, but that taste eventually comes—if you continuously chant kirtans, every day, you will understand them.

sri-krsna-viraha ara sahite na pari "I am unable to further tolerate this separation from my Lord Krishna and am ready to give up my life in two days or four." |
It says here, "Prabhu, I am unable to see You anymore! Unable to bear it, I will not keep this life any longer!"
|
sravanera dhara, ankhi barisaya, "Showers of tears pour from my eyes like the monsoon rains of August. The whole world is empty." |
Tears flow from one's eyes...
|
dina-dayamaya karuna-nidana "O ocean of mercy, compassionate to the poor, give me a drop of love. Save my life." |
Who can understand these songs? We cannot even understand this:
|
trnad api sunichena taror api sahisnuna "One who is humbler than a blade of grass, more forbearing than a tree, who gives due honour to others without desiring it for himself, is qualified to always chant the Holy Name of Krishna." |
...then can we proceed to the other songs?
|
vrksa-sama ksama-guna karabi sadhana "Practise tolerance like a tree. Give up vengeance and nurture others."
dainya, daya, anye mana, pratistha varjana "Humility, compassion, honouring others, and giving up prestige—become qualified with these four qualities and chant the Name."
sri-krsna-kirtane yadi manasa tohara "If you aspire to chant the Name of Krishna, then, with great care, become qualified to do so." |
If we want to chant the Name of Krishna, then we must become like this—trnad api sunichena...—as we sing in this kirtan.

| Practise and Believe |

| 'If you remove material desires from your heart, you will get great happiness through that. If we practise, we will be able to believe, but our problem is that if we do not see something we do not believe in it.' |

“Radharani
is dearmost to Krishna and because Gurudev is nondifferent from Her Gurudev is also dearmost to Krishna. This is our conception.” |
