Sri Ekachakra Dham: Exclusive Land His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad
By the mercy of our Gurupadpadma, by a great fortune, we have arrived today at the holy land of Nityananda Prabhu. This Ekachakra Dham is the birthplace of Nityananda Prabhu, and you have all come here today, on this Ekadasi day. Without mercy of Nityananda Prabhu, we cannot follow any bhajan line,
আর কবে নিতাইচাঁদ করুণা করিবে ।
ara kabe nitaichand karuna karibe "When will Nitaichand give mercy to me? When will all my material desires become insignificant?" ('Prarthana' by Srila Narottam Das Thakur)
কবে নিত্যানন্দ মোরে করি' দয়া ।
kabe nityananda more kari' daya "When will Nityananda be compassionate to me and relieve me from the mundane illusion?" ("Kabe habe bolo se dina amar" by Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur) You must become detached from this material world, otherwise, if you are attached to this world, you will never get the Lord. If you want to get the Lord, you must want the mercy of Lord Nityananda—without His mercy we cannot proceed, we cannot progress in our spiritual life. Nityananda is non-different from Guru-tattva (Gurudev), so if you do not get the mercy of Gurudev, you can never get the mercy of the Lord. If the Guru is angry with you, then nobody, not even the Lord, can protect you.

kabe nityananda more kari' daya "When will Nityananda be compassionate to me and relieve me from the mundane illusion?" ("Kabe habe bolo se dina amar" by Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur) When will Nityananda Prabhu give me His mercy?... Having travelled through 8,400,000 species we have finally got this human birth, but
দুর্লভ মানব জন্ম লভিয়া সংসারে ।
durlabha manava janma labhiya samsare "I have got a very rare human life in this world, but I have not worshipped Lord Krishna. Whom can I tell of my misery?"
সংসার সংসার ক'রে মিছে গেল কাল ।
'samsara' 'samsara' kari' michhe gela kala "Time has passed as I have been busy in my material life, and I have got nothing—only became burdened."
কিসের সংসার এই, ছায়াবাজী প্রায় ।
kisera samsara ei chhayabaji praya "What sort of world is this? It is like a trick, a show. While I affectionately take it as my own, days pass by in vain."
দিন যায় মিছা কাজে নিশা নিদ্রাবশে ।
dina yaya michha kaje, nisa nidra-vase "My days are passed in useless work and nights are wasted on sleeping. It never occurs to me that there is death sitting next to me." Life is not eternal, when we have to leave this body and go, we do not know where we will be posted, but this time we have got this body and we must listen to Gurudev, not to our mind. "Satisfying the whims of your mind is not bhajan—following Gurudev, serving the Guru, the Vaishnavs and satisfying them is what is called bhajan."
জীবন অনিত্য জানহ সার
jivana anitya janaha sara "Understand the essence: life is temporary and filled with all sorts of adversity. Carefully taking shelter of the Name, engage in your work." Take the shelter of the Holy Name, and do your job. Nobody tells you that you must give up your job, there is not such rule, but for those who can engage themselves in the service of Guru, Vaishnavs and Bhagavan, if we can follow Guru and Vaishnavs, everything is possible.
গুরুমুখ-পদ্মবাক্য চিত্তেতে করিয়া ঐক্য
guru-mukha-padma-vakya chitete kariya aikya "Make the teachings from Sri Guru's lotus mouth one with your heart, and do not desire anything else within your heart." There are so many vitta harankari gurus (বিত্ত হরণ কারী গুরু, gurus who take away your money, steal your property, and so on) in this world, but a santapa-harankari guru (সনতাপ হরণ কারী গুরু), a guru who takes away the three-fold miseries (adhibhautik, adhidaivik, adhyatmik, আধিভৌতিক, আধিদৈবিক, আধ্যাত্মিক: miseries caused by one's body, by the nature, and other souls) is rare to get. Where are we to go to get the Lord? Where are we to go to get a real shelter? Where can we get a real guru? Where are we to go to come to a Guru-parampara line? We must understand it, we must think about it. You have taken the trouble to come here to the holy land of Nityananda Prabhu, tomorrow also many devotees are coming. Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur writes,
কবে হবে বল, সে দিন আমার ।
kabe habe bala se dina amara "Please tell me, when will that day be mine when my offences will be dispelled and taste for the pure Name will be infused within my heart by the power of mercy?"
ধন জন আর কবিতা সুন্দরী
dhana jana ara, kavita-sundari, "When will I declare that I do not desire wealth, followers, erudition, beautiful women, or any other bodily pleasure? O Gaurahari! Birth after birth, please give me unconditional devotion to Your feet." ("Kabe habe bolo se dina amar" by Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur) "I only want Your devotion!"
কৃষ্ণ যদি ছুটে ভক্তে ভুক্তি মুক্তি দিয়া ।
krsna yadi chhute bhakte bhukti mukti diya "If you ask Krishna for anything except devotion, He can give you those things—bhukti, mukti, liberation, and so on—but He will hide devotion from you. You will not get devotion." (Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita, Adi-lila, 8.18) There is karma misra bhakti (devotion mixed with selfish desire), jnana misra bhakti (devotion mixed with pursuit of knowledge), jnana sunya bhakti (devotion devoid of knowledge-seeking), suddha bhakti (pure devotion). It is said that if you do not become a Vaishnav you cannot serve a Vaishnav...
