Vaisnava Mahima

[Guest guest]

Traslation

 

 

The lotus feet of the saintly Vaisnavas are the greatest wealth in this

world. O my dear brothers! Please listen attentively. One who takes shelter

of the Vaisnava and worships Krsna; Krsna never forsakes him. Others die

without reason.

 

The water that has washed the feet of a Vaisnava gives divine strength to a

person engaged in loving devotional service. Nothing else is more powerful

than this. The dust of the feet of the Vaisnavas upon my head is the only

decoration needed at the time of death.

 

The purifying qualities of the water of the holy places are mentioned in the

puranas and at every discourse of bhakti. However, the water from the feet

of a Vaisnava cannot be compared with water from even the holy places. One`s

desires are fulfilled by taking this water.

 

By associating with the Vaisnavas, one feels blissful discussing the topics

of Lord Krsna. Becoming impatient due to forgetfulness of Krsna, Narottama

Dasa thus laments.
