Guest guest Posted January 25, 2004 Report Share Posted January 25, 2004 caitanya-nityanande nahi esaba vicara nama laite prema dena, vahe asrudhara "But if one only chants, with some slight faith, the holy names of Lord Caitanya and Nityananda, very quickly he is cleansed of all offenses. Thus as soon as he chants the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, he feels the ecstacy of love for God." PURPORT(excerpt): It should be noted in this connection that the holy names of Lord Krsna and Gaurasundara are both identical with the Supreme Personal- ity of Godhead. Therefore one should not consider one name to be more potent than the other. Considering the position of the people of this age, however, the chanting of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's name is more essential than the chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra because Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the most magnanimous incarnation and His mercy is very easily achieved. Therefore one must first take shelter of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu by chanting "sri-krsna-caitanya prabhu-nityananda sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura -bhakta-vrnda". By serving Grura-Nityananda one is freed from the entanglme- nts of material existence and thus becomes qualified to worship the Radha- Krsna Deity.
