BV Tridandi Swami maharaja in Italië

Beste Prabhus en Didis,

Zoals aangekondigd afgelopen weekend gaan we met alle toegewijden van de Rotterdamse/Nederlandse sanga die willen de Milan 2010 in Den Haag bezoeken. Deze Milan is de grootste ontmoetingplaats van Hindoestanen in Nederland en er worden minimaal 80.000 mensen verwacht.

De bedoeling is dat we zoveel mogelijk mensen in contact brengen met onze filosofie, religie en cultuur. Hoofdzakelijk zullen we boeken verspreiden, Harinama Sankirtan doen. Onze godsbroeder Sriman Damodar Prabhu heeft daar een standplaats geregeld.

Een aantal van jullie heeft reeds aangegeven dat jullie graag meedoen en ik zou graag willen dat jullie me contacteren op onderstaan email adres zodat we precies kunnen afspreken en de details kunnen doornemen.

Voor alle duidelijkheid het Zaterdag programma gaat gewoon door en iedereen kan zelf bepalen of en wanneer hij/zij mee wil.

Voor diegenen die er nu pas van horen en “nieuw” in de sanga zijn. Ik weet dat het kort dag is maar het is leuk om eens mee te maken.

Ik hoor graag gauw van jullie.

Aspirant dienaar van de dienaren van Sri Sri Guru en Gauranga,

Uma didi Profile

TAKING SHELTER OF SRI GURU AND VAISNAVAS

At Sri Sri Radha Govinda tempel 23-06-2010
Rotterdam

By Respected Srimati Uma didi

Brief Introduction:

Around 1944-1945 , Srimati Uma didi’s mother and sister were initiated Harinam by Our Beloved Param Gurudeva, Nitya lila Pravista Om Visnupada Srila Bhakti Prajnana Keshava Goswami Maharaja ,( Our Srila Prabhupada’s Godbrother and Sannyasa Guru,and Beloved Guruji of Our Srila Gurudeva, His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaja ). Within 1950, they received Diksha and probably were one of His first ladies disciples. At that time Srimati Uma didi was not having much faith in Vaisnavism, her vision was more like of Ramakrishna Mission, that whomever you worship , God , Demi Gods or Godesses, will bring you to the same place.

But around 1967, Srila Param Gurudeva blessed her telling;” One day I will put Tulasi kanti mala around your neck” meaning , that one day I will make you a devotee. By His divine blessings, Srila Bhaktivedanta Trivikrama Maharaja (Godbrother of Our Srila Gurudeva, secretary of the Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti) established in her heart a platform for Devotion, by hearing from Him all the siddhanta of the Sastras; she is so grateful to Him, because He guided her to the Lotus Feet of Her Eternal Divine Master, His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktivedanta Vamana Goswami,Maharaja, the President Acarya of Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti, after the departure of Our Param Gurudeva to Nitya –Lila in the year 1968. By 1970, Srimati Uma didi was receiving Harinam and Diksha on Sri Ramnami Festival in Uddhara Gaudiya Math at Chinchura West Bengal. Srimati Uma didi relate that by Their conjoint Mercy, she received the Blessings of Our Srila Gurudeva . Since 1986, She became a permanent Math resident lady devotee, at the Sri Keshavji Gaudiya Math under the care Of Our Srila Gurudeva His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja, whom she accepted wholeheartedly as her Shiksha Guru .

Since all those years, she always heard the sublime Teachings of Sri Sri Rupa Raghunath, Srimad Bhagavatam and other Sastras, from the lotus mouth of her Srila Guru Maharaja, Our Srila Gurudeva, Srila Trivikrama Maharaja and other bonafide vaisnavas, always following very strictly Their Divine instructions.

Srimati Uma didi’s own feelings and realizations are now expressed:

Having a very strong sadhana and faith in Sri guru’s words are the basis of a successful spiritual life. One has to understand that after millions animal, aquatics and vegetables forms, one finally received this most valuable gift of a human form.

Then, coming in contact with a Pure Devotee, a Sat-Guru, which is so extremely rare, because it takes thousands life of Bhakti sukriti , to finally reach His Divine Lotus Feet, a sadhaka, should follow His Instructions, as they are Perfect and of Top Most welfare for all jivas (spiritual souls)

SADHU SADHU SANGA SARVA SASTRE KAYA

LAVA MATRA SADHU SANGE SARVA SIDDHI HAYA

The verdict of all revealed scriptures is that through even a moment’s association ( 11th fraction of a second) with a sadhu, a pure devotee, one can attain (ultimately) complete spiritual perfection.

When a devotee start practicing, he or she should be ready to tolerate everything , coming as purification in one’s life ., always showing respect to all Vaisnavas and try to follow woholeheartedly, the TRNAD API SUNICENA shloka of Mahaprabhu in true sene.

Always try to feel, how you are progressing in this way, in a real manner.

Ex: if someone say to you : “O you are such a good devotee” , then you examine very accurately your heart to see what is your actual condition.

In praise , one should never feel proud, and in case of disrespect one should never feel disheartened , because one should always and only think, that it is good for me.

Mahajana’s like Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur explained in a bhajan:

AMITO VAISNAVA EI BUDDHI HOILE

AMANI NA HOIBO AMI

If I think, I AM VAISNAVA . How can give honor to others? I am not amani, I cannot think that, I am fallen, so I neglect others and always want that everyone should respect me, because I AM VAISNAVA.

This is a very dangereous position. Always be very careful about this matter and try to always be very humble in any High class Vaisnava’s Association so that even upon receiving their chastisement one should feel very peaceful and happy without challenging their behaviour, and accepting everything, as in Pralhad Maharaja’s character. Pralhad accepted without any complain, and tolerated all the miseries sent by his father, He also never questioned him; “ What am I doing wrong that you are torturing me in this way? Very peacefully and happily, he accepted all those things.

THIS IS THE FOREMOST PRINCIPLE OF OUR SRILA GURUDEVA,

A neophyte devotee should make a strong platform in his heart like Pralhad Maharaja’s character, if he wants to advance and gradually become a real Vaisnava.

Also, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur told that in this life you can remain in Vaisnava Association, this will increase your sukriti in the stronger way, but without committing any offence to anyone, especially to any Vaisnava, because when one becomes offensisve he looses, his sukriti which is so rare and difficult to obtain..

By the Divine Grace of Vaisnavas and Sri Guru, one will be situated one day on the path of Pure Devotion and gradually reach to the level of Uttama Bhakti.

Always remember that by past impressions et Bhakti sukrti, one receives the Association of Rasika Siddhantic Mahabhagavatas. Hearing from them, with great eagerness their transcendental Harikatha will develop more and more greed and taste for for this Rupanuga Bhajan.

Causeless Mercy is extremely rare, so we must do sadhana performing this sadhana very seriously, Sri Guru’s heart will melt and in this way one will progress .

YASYA PRASADAD BHAGAVAT PRASAD

YASYAPRASADAN NA GATIH KUTO PI

Only by the mercy of Sri Gurudeva can one receive the mercy of Krishna. Without his grace the living entities cannot make any advancement nor be delivered.

What is the meaning of sadhana: Only what Srila Gurudeva instructs us , this is what we must follow fully. This is truely sadhana.

One should think in a neophyte stage and Srimati Uma didi, says like this, that Sri Sri Radha Krishna and Manjari bhava is very far from me, I,ve no relation with Them yet. But in presence of my Gurudeva, He is the One I want to please. His happiness and satisfaction is my sadhya (my goal) . If Sri Guru is pleased with me, automatically from his melted heart , Mercy and Divine blessings will flow in my heart.

Ex: Mother Yasoda’s effort to bind Krishna, the rope was always 2 fingers too short. Meaning, 1 finger is one’s own endeavor, effort, the 2nd finger is the Mercy of the Lord. The combined effort of the sadhaka and the Mercy of Hari,Guru and Vaisnava, will produce the beautiful fruit of Prema Bhakti.

SO SADHAKAS, PLEASE ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOU PLEASE YOUR GURUDEVA AND BONAFIDE VAISNAVAS, WITHOUT COMITTING ANY OFFENCES!

For this reason our Mahajanas are singing:

ASRAYA LAIYA BHAJE, TARE KRSNA NAHI TYAJE, ARA SABA MARA AKARANA

One who performs bhajan under the shelter of saintly devotees, who are the abode of love for Sri Krishna, is never neglected by Krishna, everyone else lives in vain. One must be in anugatya, under guidance of Sri Guru, in order to do bhajan.

ASRAYA KORIYA BANDHA SRI GURU CARANE

JANHA HOITE MILE KRSNA PREMA DHAN.

One who take shelter at the lotus feet of Sri Guru , Krishna will look after him, otherwise not and Krishna prema will manifest in his heart.

Taking shelter of Sri Guru and Vaisnavas is the foremost principle of Sastras, by wich you will receive Sri Sri Radha Krishna’s Mercy, otherwise your independant attempt is all in vain.

By taking shelter of Sri Gurudeva’s Lotus Feet in the true sense, from wherever my Guurdeva is, even busy with His Nitya –Seva, to conjugal Yugal Kishor, still Sri Gurudeva will always make arrangements for his disciple to reach his goal

This is Srimati Uma didi’s heart and deepest feelings!

GAURA PREMANDE HARI HARIBOL!

Shiva Tattva

In this book Shiva-Tattva, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja brilliantly clarifies the holy Hindu trinity: Brahma, Visnu and Shiva. Empowered by his spiritual masters in the disciplic succession of the Gaudiya Vaisnava tradition, he reveals the conclusive truth (tattva) of Lord Shiva’s original position and gives us a look into his endearing and affectionate nature.

Siksastaka

Issuing from the divine mouth of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the eight verses comprising this Sri Siksastaka shine as the supremely radiant transcendental jewel of the entirety of Indian literature. They are the very essence of all the Vedas. Although its Sanskrit language is quite simple, its import is so profound that even if one studies it throughout his life, his study will not come to an end. Each time one reads and deliberates on this subject, newer and newer meanings come to light. This definitive edition with the translation and commentary of Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja features the soul-stirring Sri Sanmodana Bhasyam commentary by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura and the Vivrti commentary of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Prabhupada.

THE MAGNANIMOUS NATURE OF NITYANANDA PRABHU

Sri Nityananda Prabhu is the incarnation of Baladeva in Vrajamandala. Narottama dasa Thakura says Balaram haila Nitai. Sanatana Goswami also mentions Nityananda Prabhu as the incarnation of Baladeva in Vrindavana, but some persons within the Gaudiya Sampradaya preach that Nityananda Prabhu is the incarnation of Radharani. So, a vehement protest is given from the side of the Gaudiya Math and we cannot recognize them as the true followers of Gaudiya Vaisnava faith and Mahaprabhu. Nityananda Prabhu took His birth in the district of Virbhum on the Western side of Katwa, north west of Ekachakra, where the Pandavas in disguise lived for sometime. Nearby is also shown a tree where the Bakaraksasa was killed by Bhimasena. In Ekachakra near Garbhavasa and many other places, we can trace the pastimes of Nityananda Prabhu. Nityananda Prabhu's son established a temple nearby, and Srimurtis were installed by Him. About two hundred years ago there was a great storm in that area and many ancient arrangements were devastated. A big Zamindar and devotee of the Gaudiya Sampradaya, came and restored the puja, the worshipping arrangements at Virachandrapura. All were desolated at that time.Give Your SonNityananda Prabhu's mother's name was Padmavati, and His father's name was Hadai Pandita. Ojha was their title although now we do not find any such title. When Nityananda Prabhu was about 12 years old one sannyasi came and begged Hadai Pandita for his son, "I want your son". The sannyasi came and begged for the child, only one son, and a son like Nityananda Prabhu who was very charming. It was almost impossible to live bidding goodbye to such a son, but what to do? A sannyasi has come and asked for him and begging they could not avoid; they could not avoid the sannyasi. they had to give their only son to him. We are told, that sannyasi was no other than Sri Madhavendra Puri, the guru of Iswara Puri, Advaita Acharya, and Pundarika Vidyanidhi. That sannyasi came and took Nityananda Prabhu away from his house when he was only 12 years old; and Nityananda Prabhu wandered with him through the whole of India, visiting all the holy places. Mahaprabhu did not visit so many holy places. He generally travelled through the south of India, not northern india entirely, only Vrindavana and Prayaga. Dvaraka and Badrinarayana were excluded by Mahaprabhu, but Nityananda Prabhu visited all the holy places that exist in india. After Madhavendra Puri disappeared, he was wandering in the holy places. In the meantime Mahaprabhu, coming back from Gaya, began his Sankirtana Lila in Navadwipa. Searching For Each OtherNityananda Prabhu was wandering here and there and lastly he went to Vrindavana. He was searching for something because of His inner identification with that of Baladeva. When Krishna came he was feeling some tendency of attraction towards him. In the last period, he began searching in Vrindavana very scrutinizingly but did not find that. Then he got some inspiration, "Where to find Krishna ?" 'He's now in Nabadwipa'. "I shall go there," with this inspiration in his heart he came to Navadwipa Dhama.Mahaprabhu had already begun his sankirtana movement, and he had a dream at night that someone came in a chariot and at the peak of the chariot there was a palm tree; and he is searching, "Where is Nimai Pandit's house? Where is Nimai Pandit's house?" Someone then said, "Here is Nimai Pandit's house". Mahaprabhu then told to the devotees. "A great personage has come here to Nabadwipa Dhama last night. You (Srivasa and others) try to find out that great person". The followers tried their best, they searched in every nook and corner but could not find Nityananda Prabhu. They reported to Mahaprabhu, "We tried our best but could not trace any noble person, any saint, or any big man". Then Mahaprabhu told, "Let us try with the followers". He then went straight to the southern side of Nandana Acharya's Bhavan. Mahaprabhu went directly to a particular house which is known as Nandana Acharya's house, and there they found a new gentleman, stout and strong, and godly in appearance, sitting on the veranda of that house. The devotees of Mahaprabhu could then understand him to be the man of whom Sri Gaurangadeva was telling about. He was sitting there in red robes, all others were white dressed. Someone then chanted some Bhagavata sloka, and so many spiritual symptoms gradually appeared in His body. They could then understand what a great man he is for he was filled with divine love. He was the agreed personage and gradually coming in intimate connection with him they could understand that he was Sri Nityananda Prabhu. Outwardly his movements were not like a scholarly person, or an ordinary man; he was surcharged with a high type of energy and divinity coming forth from his complexion. Mahaprabhu gradually began preaching. Haridasa Thakura and Nityananda Prabhu were both given orders. "Go from door to door and request them to leave everything aside and take the name of Krishna. Whomever you may meet going from door to door, approach and ask them to take the name of Krishna leaving aside everything else."The Tantric's TrickAt that time Nabadwipa Dhama was mostly filled with tantrics, that is the worship of Sakti Devi and Maya Devi. The tantrics say, "This Maya is disturbing us, so we must take shelter under her feet. When she will be propitiated and satisfied then she will loosen, open the door and we will get out and become Shiva. By nature, by birth, jiva means Shiva, Shiva means the the master of Maya. We are now in the clutches of Maya, misunderstanding. When the goddess of misunderstanding is satisfied with us, she will then withdraw and we shall find a door out, we shall go to the other side. There are so many liberated souls there and we shall join them. They are all enjoying the position of Shiva, the master of Maya. Maya cannot force them to do anything and everything as she wills rather she serves her masters. Maya serves Shiva, the liberated souls. Maya serves them though in the relativity of Maya but they cannot control so they render some service to the liberated souls and they are known as Shiva. Pasa baddho bhavet jiva pasa mukta sadasiva. When within bondage he is jiva, a fallen soul, when he is outside the bondage of this Maya, this misunderstanding, then he's always Shiva. He can then move here and there at his sweet will and Maya cannot force him, rather she will come to serve him, and that is liberation. We shall then serve Maya devi and the tantric process involes something, in this way she will be satisfied." They use many things, they may drink wine and eat meats. They offer them to the deities Maya, Sakti and Kali. They also enjoy the women in different moods. They think that the application of mixing with ladies is such, that they will get liberation from the charm of the ladies. In this way in their process, they approve of the wine, the meat and the ladies - it seems to be very harmful to us but these are the underlying principles of the tantric upasana."In our method, our process of approaching these things which we feel temptation for, we shall get liberation from them. They come to attract us towards them but by a particular process we shall handle them. We shall be masters of those poisonous things."Positive AlternativeAt that time Nabadwipa was filled with such tantrics. Mahaprabhu Sri Gauranga began his preaching, attempting to convince everyone to give up everything and take to chanting the name of Krishna, Narayana. He then said, "Not only will you be out of Maya but you will attain positive life in Vaikuntha in Vrindavan. That is higher attainment, and what is to be attained by worshipping the sakti in the method they are following, that is reactionary and sometime again they will have to evolve." This is mentioned in the sastra, but not very extensively. If you are very particular then you will have to see that the relativity of this negative world is not safe. You must enter the positive world, then you will be safe. That is not only mere liberation, emancipation from the opposite forces, but practical participation in the serving line, which is very pure. Not to be non-selfish, but one must be God-centred. God-serviced. The positive world is there and that is full of pervasive happiness, and that we can attain only through service. Here we are an enjoying unit, an exploiting unit, but it must be given up to get out of the reactionary tendency of life. But we must not wait on the fence, for that is not a safe position.Automatic StageThen again, that is not saying much because withdrawal from the negative side is not enough. There is a positive world and that is meant for a real high form of life, and that can be attained through service. Service is great, to sacrifice one's own interest, not for any part but for the whole, the absolute good, that is great. Nothing can be compared to that. It is not calculative but automatic. To reach the automatic stage of service with love is high pay: so give up all these habits and these former engagements with a lower standard of worshipping, penance and all these things. "Die to Live." A radical change must be welcomed in life. Life is worth living, life is worth living and it is only open to the human section. In other species it is impossible to get a glimpse of such high light and to begin that way of life, for there are only a very few human beings in the creation. What are the number of human bodies, very small compared to the whole of creation, and that is the door to heaven so you must try to have a positive life. He is Krishna. He is all attractive. He is beautiful, He is the highest reality, He is all accommodating and most charming. Our life will receive it's fulfillment if we can approach that Lord, especially by taking His holy name. In this age of Kali a special sanction has been given to us that by taking the holy name with satsanga, with the real saints, then we can make progress, enter and approach that high line of preaching.Jagai And MadhaiNityananda Prabhu was a dynamo of energy and Haridasa Thakura could not follow, a little trouble to carry out the order of Mahaprabhu, what to do? One day there were so many gunda type persons, they came with an attacking spirit, "You are disturbing us, we are not religious and you have come to preach religion to us: what right have you got? Why do you come to disturb us? As a big society we are following a particular creed, and you are so bold as to blame us for not being religious men. You have come with a new idea of religion and we are to accept that, you fools! If again you come here you will be taught a good lesson". In this way they were threatened, but Mahaprabhu still says you must go. Then one day they met Jagai and Madhai. Jagai and Madhai were from brahmana birth but they did not have any care for religion. They were also entrusted with some administration in the Muslim Government. They had some connection with the Government and they themselves were gundas, also brahmanas by birth. They used to take anything and everything, they were a notorious pair of gundas, Jagadananda and Madhavananda.We Are Not To Use ForceThen one day they met him "Oh! you rogues we have heard of you, you have come to create a new religion here - never! If we find you again on the street you will receive a licking and will have to weep". Anyhow, they were given such warning. Nityananda Prabhu had to report every day what progress they had made in their preaching campaign and he almost challenged Mahaprabhu. He said, "Our life was saved today from the worst pair in the whole of Navadwipa Dhama, but if you can deliver them, then I shall think that vou have really come to render some service. They are the greatest rogues ever found in this area and must be converted. If you can do that then we shall say that you have got some power with some objective, and you will be able to do something". Mahaprabhu felt, "if it is Krishna's will then everything will be possible." They again went out preaching and they met those two gundas, Haridasa Thakura coming back and Nityananda Prabhu stood courageously. There was an earthern pot cast away after use on the side of the way. It was taken and thrown on the head of Nityananda Prabhu and his forehead was cut, blood oozing, Nityananda Prabhu standing. Some person came to Gaurangadeva saying that Nityananda Prabhu was wounded by the rogues.Mahaprabhu very enraged and excited came there. There was blood oozing, "Who has caused this wound on the body of Nityananda Prabhu ? I shall finish the whole town, come forward". Mahaprabhu was besides himself. Then Nityananda Prabhu came, "No! No! Don't be excited my Lord. In this incarnation we are not to use any force. Remember it".Mental TransformationIn the meantime there approached another and told "No, no! They are red-clad mendicants - what fame is there is striking them? They are not wholly established rich men or party men, only red-clad sannyasis, there is no credit by killing them or beating them," and they took Jagai and Madhai away. Nityananda Prabhu then appealed to Mahaprabhu. "What to do, this is not proper. In this age, in this time, at this juncture what have we come to do, use force? Never". In the meantime Madhai came to hit Nityananda Prabhu but Jagai saved him by just opposing him and Mahaprabhu turned around suddenly, "You Jagai, you have protected my Nityanada." Mahaprabhu then embraced him and Jagai fell at his feet and began to cry "Hare Krishna". Mental transformation came in Jagai. Then Madhai who was standing said, "For this deed we two are such great sinners yet Jagai's condition is now such". In that very atmosphere his transformation also began.Nityananda's RecommendationThen Nityananda Prabhu came to recognize that in the same place with similar persons, one will gain and the other will fail and so he thought Madhai must also be saved. Then Mahaprabhu said, "Nityananda Prabhu himself is pleading for you, and so you Madhai, you should also be absolved. Mahaprabhu then embraced him, he also fell, began to weep, and take the holy name Krishna and there was wholesale conversion of these two great demons. There was within minutes an uproar in the town. "Who is this Nimai Pandita? A scholar, so far we can understand, but he is endowed with supernatural power. These two great demons, whoever they came across, or whoever would see them would enter their homes and close their doors, such demoniac persons they were, and they were converted by Nimai Pandita within one hour, what miraculous power." So in this way Nimai Pandit got some footing there. Nimai Pandit is not an ordinary man, he is not merely a scholar but he is endowed with some supernatural power, original power. Nityananda Prabhu was famous from that time. Although he was hit on the forehead and blood oozed still he had so much of an extraordinary, patient, forbearing and affectionate heart, that he recommended that gunda who had caused him mischief. Nityananda Prabhu's position was very safe and very high, a divine position from that time. Nityananda Prabhu has neither an exploiting nor enjoying mood, He is wholesale given to Krishna.Perfect ServantSantana Goswami has given this in his commentary: In the rasa lila of Krishna, Krishna was enjoying all the gopis, at that time Balarama also had his separate rasa lila. It is also mentioned in Bhagavatam and other puranas, that Krishna had his rasa lila and that Baladeva also had his rasa lila but Sanatana Goswami has given the meaning. That is very fine, very subtle and very difficult to understand. Baladeva continued rasa externally, but in his heart he was making Krishna to participate in that rasa. He was not the party to enjoy the gopis. He is aloof, he is aside, he is only performing, managing the rasa lila with the gopis and Krishna. He is not only indifferent but with so much serving tendency and wholesale serving attitude.United In ServiceIn Vrindavana mandala in vatsalya rasa and sakhya rasa, they also have marriages, they have their sons, but not in any enjoying mood. There is union of men and women but not in an enjoying mood, or then they will have to be left here in the material world. Both parties meet and are united in a serving mood, that is particularly another type of mood, never an enjoying mood, or then they are not to be allowed to einter that domain.They will be thrown here in the land of exploitation. When they go through the door of emancipation, liberation and enter Vaikuntha, from there also the exploiting tendency is eliminated, what avoidance! They are outwardly participating but internally in a serving mood. It may be impossible to think, but it is such, not only the human form but also the birds and beasts, they are also apparently mixing in an enjoying mood, but really their mood is of service attitude. Such a wholesale transformation has to be effected in one's heart, mind and body, before wholly attempting to enter into that domain. So Hegel said, "Die to live". If you really want to live in that plane then you will have to die wholesale as you think you are in this life as flesh, blood and bones. It is of opposite type, the purity is there, it can be measured ; it is not non-scientific but it is really scientific. It is the process of 'die to live'! And love is there, the dying tendency for the object of love, that is love proper, otherwise imitation, it is hypocricy, it is conspiracy to one's own attainment.The Last GiftThe pure thing is that if we have got faith for such divine conception of life then we should come to Bhagavatam, the last gift in the sastric world of Vedic literatures. Vyasadeva's last gift in the world of Vedic literatures is Bhagavatam. The Bhagavatam is so high, so high, prithi vite yata katha dharma nam chole. Our Guru Maharaja's translation of dharmah projjhito kaitavo explains that of all the words and tales that are running in this world in the name of religion, Srimad Bhagavatam says that all is false, all is false, all is tampered with and not pure, not pure! The pure type of religion is not yet spoken. It is there, all self-centered, the current is towards the centre, not only selflessness but self-sacrificing, self-forgiving, self forgetfulness, in that way we are to start, we are to start, we are to go."Rolling At The DoorSri Nityananda Prabhu came and applealed, "Come to Gauranga, He is the depot, He is the dynamo to send you there very easily. He sang these names of Gauranga on the banks of the Ganges. Bhaja gauranga, kaha gauranga, laha gauranga nam je jan gauranga bhaje se amar prana; all you people come and take refuge under the divine feet of Gauranga, give up everything and come fall at the feet of Gauranga, give up everything and come fall at the feet of Gauranga. Take His name, remember Him and throw yourself wholly at His disposal. He is my own life, I consider Him to be my life, my soul, my everything." Nityananda Prabhu saying this began to roll at the door of the householder, "Householders! you must do this." He is rolling and crying, "Accept Gauranga, you don't know what great benefit you will receive by doing this." He is rolling in the dust at the door of the householders with such an appeal. He came to the ordinary masses to give them shelter at the lotus feet of Gauranga, that is Nityananda Prabhu. He came to give Mahaprabhu even to Jagai and Madhai and he appealed to all from door to door to accept Gaurangadeva. You do not know what will be your prospect in life, the highest prospect in life!Nityananda's MercyNityananda Prabhu is our only hope, He is so benevolent, so generous, so gracious, that very easily we can draw his attention and we can get his recommendation. Gauranga Deva will not be able to disregard his recommendation, and when we have got the grace of Gauranga then the Radha-Krishna lila is within our fists. Nityananda Prabhu's grace means to get Mahaprabhu's grace within our clucthes and to get Mahaprabhu, means to get Radha-Govinda. Vrindavana, and then everything is within our fists.

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru & Gauranga
You are cordially invited to attend
Sri Navadvipa-mandala Parikrama 2010
Conducted under the guidance of
Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja
Sri Kesavaji Gaudiya MathaM. Kolerdanga Road (near the Ganga Bridge)Navadvipa, West Bengal
Phone: +91-9333.222.775 (Sripada Harijana Maharaja)
E-mail: brajanath@gmail.com

Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja is personally inviting you all to attend Sri Navadvipa-mandala Parikrama in the holy land of Sri Navadvip-dhama. This year the festival will be inaugurated on February 22nd, with the devotees observing sankalpa, or a vow to ensure the success of their parikrama. The last day of the festival will be March 1st.

Parikrama

On February 23rd we will begin our five-day Sri Navadvipa-mandala parikrama, a pilgrimage to each of Navadvipa’s nine incomparably beautiful islands. As we wind our way through these islands, we will chant surcharged and compelling kirtanas that we will cherish forever, reverentially touch our head to the dust of the numerous places related to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s pastimes, and hear nectarean harikatha that will change our lives and strengthen our commitment to the path of Gaudiya vaisnavism. Our pilgrimage will be completed on

February 27th.
Gaura Purnima

On February 28th we will celebrate the divine appearance of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. The temple room will resound with kirtana and harikatha will be given in both Bengali and English. Many devotees honour Mahaprabhu’s appearance by taking bath in the Ganga early in the morning. Devotees are encouraged to fast on this day. In the evening, just at the time of dusk, there is an abhishek of the deity of Mahaprabhu, accompanied by an extraordinarily sweet kirtana, followed by anukalpa Maha-prasadam.

Festival of Sri Jagannatha Misra
Overjoyed with the birth of his dear most son, Sri Jagannatha Misra held a grand festival the day after the child’s birth. So, on March 1st, we will observe that festival with a delicious prasadam feast. On behalf of Sri Jagannatha Misra and mother Sacidevi, who have made all arrangements, Srila Maharaja is inviting us to participate. The festival will be held at our temple, Sri Kesavaji Gaudiya Matha.

Sri Kesavaji Gaudiya Matha
According to Srila Maharaja’s desire, the construction of a beautiful lake-side temple is almost completed. Furnished with a large prasadam hall, a massive kirtana hall, and three guesthouses, this grand structure is very impressive and beautiful.

Included within the festival fees
Because building is still going on, a traditional Bengali-style tent camp of bamboo sticks, canvas, and straw mats will be set up on a strong foundation. There is adequate toilet and shower facility. If you prefer to bring your own tent, sleeping mat, and mosquito net, you are most welcome. Such simplicity helps to remind us how Sri Navadvipa Parikrama was performed in previous times.

Cost
A minimum contribution of Indian Rs. 2,000, US$ 45, or EU 30 per person is requested in order to cover the most basic expenses of the festival. This payment covers prasadam; electricity and water; the rental of the pandal and sound system; payment for various workers; cleaning costs and facilitation of the many poor pilgrims from India.
We humbly request you to remember that this fee is a wonderful opportunity to facilitate the inconceivable benefit of hearing the harikatha of a spotlessly pure Vaisnava and performing parikrama under his guidance. In fact, we would not be able to repay this in countless lifetimes.

For an extra cost
The minimum contribution described above provides devotees with camp-style accommodations on the temple grounds and use of the common bathrooms with the Indian pilgrims. Devotees arriving from the West may find it easier to stay in a room. There are two choices for room accommodations.
First, there are hotel rooms at varying distances from the Matha. Their charges also vary.
Second, there are also simple rooms available for rent in the houses of the local residents. The average charge is between 100 and 200 rupees per room per day, depending on the facilities offered.

Registration
To register for this festival, submit a completed participation form and give your contribution (in rupees, dollars, or euros) to Tilaka-raja prabhu at the entrance of the temple gate. There you will find Mani-mati dasi, Savitri dasi, Sulata dasi, Kundalata dasi, Vrinda-devi dasi and other devotees responsible for accommodating you inside or outside the temple complex.

The facilities on Kesavaji Gaudiya Matha grounds will only be available from February 21st onward. If you decide to arrive in Navadvipa-dham before this date, you will need to make your own arrangements for accommodation and prasadam. We trust that all of you will cooperate with the festival managers in this regard.

Please visit the Purebhakti.com Travel Page for more details about traveling to the dhama, how to maintain good health during your visit, and other practicalities.

Sri Navadvipa Satakaby Srila Prabhodananda Sarasvati Thakura

Text 71
I will not talk of anything else. I will not hear of anything else. I will not meditate on anything else. I will not go anywhere else. I will not worship anything else. I will not take shelter of anything else. In dream or awake, I will not see anything but the forest where He who accepted Sri Radhika's splendor enjoyed pastimes.

Text 72
My heart does not yearn to become a Lord Brahma on Satyaloka, nor does it seek the body of an associate of Lord Visnu in Vaikuntha, but it does think very highly of any birth, even as a tiny insect, in the home of the fortunate souls that enjoy festivals of sweet nectar in the pure realm of Navadvipa.

Text 73
I think any birth where, even from a distance, I may gaze at Navadvipa, touch it, and fall down on the ground to offer respects to it, is very fortunate. Will the fortunate day that I take such a birth ever come?

Text 74
Although I have not the slightest fragrance of faith in the exalted glory of Sri Navadvipa-dhama, and although I do not sincerely yearn to live there, nevertheless words like this flow from me.

Text 75
This mostly unconscious world and even they who think they know everything cannot know the truth about Navadvipa. When my carefully concealed Lord Hari appears, then His concealed abode also appears. Only a sincere devotee, by his guru's mercy, can know the truth of Navadvipa.

Informatie over Sri Sri Radha Govinda Gaudya Math

2008-07-23T14:44:00.033+02:00

Radha en Krishna

God bezit ontelbaar veel namen en vormen,

Krishna is een naam van God in het sanskriet,

zoals Hij in talen van andere culturen bijvoorbeeld

Jahwe, Allah en Jehova wordt genoemd.

De Vedische geschriften geven ons de namen van God

o.a. in de vorm van heilige mantra's (korte gebeden die worden herhaald).

Onder deze vele mantra's wordt de hierna

volgende Maha-mantra als de belangrijkste beschouwd:

Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna,

Krishna, Krishna,

Hare, Hare,

Hare Rama, Hare Rama,

Rama, Rama,

Hare, Hare.

Krishna betekent "de al-aantrekkelijke" en

Rama "bron van alle vreugde"

zijn de bekenste namen van God

in het sanskriet, terwijl "Hare"

een aanroeping is van zijn eeuwige

liefdesenergie in de vorm van "Radha".

*

De Hare Krishna Maha-mantra

kan zowel individueel

als gemeenschappelijk

worden herhaald.

Mantrameditatie is eenvoudig en

tegelijkertijd heel subliem.

Zij bezit de kracht om onze liefde

voor God op te wekken, hetgeen

ons leidt naar het allerhoogste geluk.

Gauranga de goud kleurige avatar van Sri Krishna beter bekent als Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu verbleef op deze Aarde van 1486 tot 1534. Hij bracht samen met Nitai en andere metgezellen de Hare Krishna mantra in deze wereld.

de Krishna - Loka poster

Deze poster geeft een schematisch overzicht van de Goddelijke schepping. Hierop is goed te zien hoe de diverse universa in beeld zijn gebracht en waar de materiële werelden zich ten opzichte van de Goddelijke sferen bevinden. Deze kaart is verkrijgbaar in de tempel samen met een uitgebreide engelse tekst met uitleg.

"anjana timarandhasya jnananjana saklakaya

caksur unmilitam yena tasmai Sri Guruve namah"

Ik ben geboren in complete onwetendheid,

maar mijn geestelijk leraar opende mijn ogen

met de zalf van de transcedentale kennis.

Ik breng mijn nederige eerbetuigingen aan hem.
