Gaur Purnima ...Krishna Bhakti 2

[Guest guest]

Despite crying in various conferences of art,

culture, politics, sociology, dry philosophy, poetry and

so on, the desert-like tongue continues to be

parched. For this reason, people from all parts of the

world must call for the devotees of Lord Sri Chaitanya

Mahaprabhu, who are compared to swans swimming around the

beautiful lotus feet of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu or bees

humming around His lotus feet in transcendental pleasure,

searching for honey. <br><br>Lord Chaitanya's movement of

Krishna consciousness is full of dancing and singing

about the pastimes of Lord Krishna. It is compared to

the pure waters of the Ganges, which are full of

lotus flowers. The enjoyers of these lotus flowers are

the pure devotees, who are like bees and swans. They

chant like the flowing of the Ganges, the river of the

celestial kingdom. <br><br>"I shall personally inaugurate

the religion of the age - nama-sankirtana, the

congregational chanting of the holy name. I shall make the world

dance in ecstacy, realizing the four mellows of loving

devotional service. I shall accept the role of a devotee,

and I shall teach devotional service by practicing it

Myself." (Chaitanya Chitamitra , 3.19-20). <br><br>No one

but the Lord Himself can teach this highest form of

devotional service. Therefore, when the Lord took the place

of the incarnation of Kali-yuga to spread the

glories of chanting Hare Krishna - the system of worship

recommended in this age - He also distributed the process of

devotional service performed on the platform of

transcendental spontaneous love. To teach the highest principles

of spiritual life, the Lord Himself appeared as a

devotee in the form of Lord Chaitanya.
