Sanatan-Siksa:
The Cry of a Surrendered Soul
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj
22 June 2015
[His Divine Grace is reading from Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita, Madhya-lila, chapter 22:]
...So, the souls suffer the pain of the threefold miseries—adhibhautik (আধিভৌতিক), adhidaivik (আধিদৈবিক), and adhyatmik (আধ্যাত্মিক). How can they get relief?

kama-krodhera dasa hana tara lathi khaya "The souls become slaves of lust and anger and get kicked around by them. In this way, they wander throughout the universe until they get the help of a sadhu, the physician." Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita, 2.22.14
tanra upadesa-mantre pisachi palaya "When the souls follow the guidance and take the mantra that they receive from the sadhu, Maya the Witch flees from them. Then they get devotion to Krishna and can come near to Krishna." Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita, 2.22.15
kamadinam kati na katidha palita durnidesas Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita, 2.22.16 |
"O Lord! O Bhagavan! How many kinds of wicked orders I have received from lust and others! They gave me nonsense orders and without any shame I followed them all. They had no mercy on me, nor were they ever satisfied. How many times I have listen to my children, wife, friends, and others! What am I to do now? O Krishna!"
This is the main sloka of a saranagata, surrendered soul. Param Guru Maharaj Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj always recited this sloka.

utsrjyaitan atha yadu-pate sampratam labdha-buddhis "O Krishna! Suddenly, I have managed to leave their side and got some good intelligence, and I have come to surrender at Your fearless lotus feet. Please, engage me now as Your servant." Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita, 2.22.16 |
It is a very important sloka, you must always remember it. Learn it by heart. It written by Srila Rupa Goswami in Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, 3.2.25, and also here in Chaitanya-charitamrita, in Sanatan-siksa, 22.16.

কামাদীনাং কতি ন কতিধা পালিতা দুর্নিদেশা,
তেষাং জাতা ময়ি ন করুণা ন ত্রপা নোপশান্তিঃ । উৎসৃজ্যৈতানথ যদুপতে ! সাম্প্রতং লব্ধবুদ্ধি- সত্বামায়াতঃ শরণমভয়ং মাং নিযুঙ্ক্ষ্বাত্মদাস্যে ॥
"হে ভগবান্ কামাদির কত প্রকার দুষ্ট আদেশই আমি পালন করিয়াছি ! তথাপি অমার প্রতি তাহাদের করুণা এবং আমার লজ্জারও উপশান্তি হইল না । হে যদুপতে, আপততঃ আমি তাহাদিগকে পরিত্যাগ করিয়া সদ্বুদ্ধিলাভ করতঃ তোমার অভয়চরণে শরণাগত হইলাম, তুমি এখন আমাকে আত্মদাস্যে নিযুক্ত কর ।" |

Singing Songs and Doing Kirtan |
|---|
| 'Singing a song and kirtan are different. If you know the meaning of the song, you will always get energy to do kirtan; if you just sing a song, you will not get that energy.' |
| Krsna haite chatur-mukha |

| 'The foremost devotees of Srila Visvanath Chakravarti Thakur are Srila Baladev Vidyabhusan and Srila Jagannath Das Babaji. Their dear follower is Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur. His associate is the best of the topmost devotees, Srila Gaura Kisor Das Babaji, whose sole joy is Sri Hari's service.' | কৃষ্ণ হৈতে চতুর্ম্মুখ |
