Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hare Krishna, PAMHO, AGTSP Adi 3.4 - "May the Supreme Lord who is known as the son of Srimati Saci- devi be transcendentally situated in the innermost core of your heart. Resplendent with the radiance of molten gold, He has descended in the Age of Kali by His causeless mercy to bestow what no incarnation has ever offered before: the most elevated mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love." Adi 3.19 - "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 ecstasy, realizing the four mellows of loving devotional service. Adi 3.20 - "I shall accept the role of a devotee, and I shall teach devotional service by practicing it Myself. Adi 3.21 - "Unless one practices devotional service himself, he cannot teach it to others. This conclusion is indeed confirmed throughout the Gita and Bhagavatam. Adi 3.22 - "`Whenever and wherever there is a decline in religious practice, O descendant of Bharata, and a predominant rise of irreligion-at that time I descend Myself. Ädi 3.29 - Thinking thus, the Personality of Godhead, Çré Kåñëa Himself, descended at Nadia early in the Age of Kali. Adi 3.40 - The religious practice for the Age of Kali is to broadcast the glories of the holy name. Only for this purpose has the Lord, in a yellow color, descended as Lord Caitanya. Adi 3.41 - The luster of His expansive body resembles molten gold. The deep sound of His voice conquers the thundering of newly assembled clouds. Adi 3.52 - "In the Age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the name of Krsna. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Krsna Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions." Adi 3.58 - "By performing the sacrifice of congregational chanting of the holy name, learned scholars in the Age of Kali worship Lord Krsna, who is now nonblackish because of the great upsurge of the feelings of Srimati Radharani. He is the only worshipable Deity for the paramahamsas, who have attained the highest stage of the fourth order [sannyasa]. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Caitanya, show us His great causeless mercy." Adi 3.66 - "Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is always the most worshipable Deity of the demigods, including Lord Siva and Lord Brahma, who came in the garb of ordinary men, bearing love for Him. He instructs His own pure devotional service to His own devotees. Will He again be the object of my vision?" Adi 3.67 - His plenary parts and associates perform the work of weapons as their own specific duties. Please hear from me another meaning of the word "anga." Adi 3.72 - Sri Advaita Prabhu and Sri Nityananda Prabhu are both plenary portions of Lord Caitanya. Thus They are the limbs [angas] of His body. The parts of these two limbs are called the upangas. Adi 3.73 - Thus the Lord is equipped with sharp weapons in the form of His parts and plenary portions. All these weapons are competent enough to crush the faithless atheists. Adi 3.74 - Sri Nityananda Gosani is directly Haladhara [Lord Balarama], and Advaita Acarya is the Personality of Godhead Himself. Adi 3.75 - These two captains, with Their soldiers such as Srivasa Thakura, travel everywhere, chanting the holy name of the Lord. Adi 3.76 - Lord Nityananda's very features indicate that He is the subduer of the unbelievers. All sins and unbelievers flee from the loud shouts of Advaita Acarya. Adi 3.77 - Lord Sri Krsna Caitanya is the initiator of sankirtana [congregational chanting of the holy name of the Lord]. One who worships Him through sankirtana is fortunate indeed. Adi 3.78 - Such a person is truly intelligent, whereas others, who have but a poor fund of knowledge, must endure the cycle of repeated birth and death. Of all sacrificial performances, the chanting of the Lord's holy name is the most sublime. Adi 3.84 - Srimad- Bhagavatam, the Mahabharata, the Puranas and other Vedic literatures all give evidence to prove that Lord Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the incarnation of Krsna. Adi 3.85 - One can also directly see Lord Caitanya's manifest influence in His uncommon deeds and uncommon Krsna conscious realization. Adi 3.86 - But faithless unbelievers do not see what is clearly evident, just as owls do not see the rays of the sun. Adi 3.92 - Advaita Acarya Gosvami is an incarnation of the Lord as a devotee. His loud calling was the cause for Krsna's incarnation. Adi 3.93 - Whenever Sri Krsna desires to manifest His incarnation on earth, first He creates the incarnations of His respectable predecessors. Adi 3.94 - Thus respectable personalities such as His father, mother and spiritual master all take birth on earth first. Adi 3.110 - Therefore the principal reason for Sri Caitanya's descent is this appeal by Advaita Acarya. The Lord, the protector of religion, appears by the desire of His devotee.
