Guest guest Posted January 5, 2003 Report Share Posted January 5, 2003 Nava yauvanam Everything in Krishnas nature is ever fresh and new, like Brahma is praying: adyam purana purusam nava yauvanam ca "Although he is the eldest personality, he is ever fresh and new" Because of this intrinsic reason we chant harinam (ever same and ever sweet) And all the qualities of Bhagavan are to experience in Sri Harinam. rajan samsmrtya samsmrtya samvadam imam adbhutam kesavarjunayoh punyam hrsyami ca muhur muhuh O King, as I repeatedly recall this wondrous and holy dialogue between Krsna and Arjuna, I take pleasure, being thrilled at every moment. Bg 18.76 tac ca samsmrtya samsmrtya rupam aty-adbhutam hareh vismayo me mahan rajan hrsyami ca punah punah O King, as I remember the wonderful form of Lord Krsna, I am struck with wonder more and more, and I rejoice again and again. Bg 18.77 vistarenatmano yogam vibhutim ca janardana bhuyah kathaya trptir hi srnvato nasti me 'mrtam O Janardana, again please describe in detail the mystic power of Your opulences. I am never satiated in hearing about You, for the more I hear the more I want to taste the nectar of Your words. Bg 10.18 brahman krsna-kathah punya madhvir loka-malapahah ko nu trpyeta srnvanah sruta-jno nitya-nutanah What experienced listener, O brahmana, could ever grow satiated while listening to the pious, charming and ever-fresh topics of Lord Krsna, which cleanse away the world's contamination? SB 10.52.20 vayam tu na vitrpyama uttama-sloka-vikrame yac-chrnvatam rasa-jnanam svadu svadu pade pade We never tire of hearing the transcendental pastimes of the Personality of Godhead, who is glorified by hymns and prayers. Those who have developed a taste for transcendental relationships with Him relish hearing of His pastimes at every moment. SB 1.1.19 This is also Sandipani Munis blessing: tusto 'ham bho dvija-sresthah satyah santu manorathah chandamsy ayata-yamani bhavantv iha paratra ca You boys are first-class brahmanas, and I am satisfied with you. May all your desires be fulfilled, and may the Vedic mantras you have learned never lose their meaning for you, in this world or the next. SB 10.80.42 And also a very sweet picture from Govinda lilamrta: Eager to increase her son's small appetite by preparing different sweetmeats, the Queen of Gokula desired to bring Sri Radha for cooking. Accidentally, Kundalata, the wife of Upananda's son Subhadra, came along and offered her obeisances to Queen Yasoda. Yasoda told her: "O Kundalate! One day Durvasa Muni blessed Sri Radhika, saying: "Radha, may the grains You cook taste sweeter than nectar and may anyone who eats them be blessed with a long life span!" Because of this blessing of Durvasa Muni I call Radha here every day to cook! Although my son is a small eater He gets great appetite when He eats Radha's delicious preparations. So please appeal to Her mother-in-law with these words of mine and quickly bring Radha here with all of Her friends!" Although Queen Yasoda daily engages Kundalata like this, it is always again like the first time. There is no fault in this, for the residents of Vraja are not aware of it. Intoxicated by passionate love for Krishna, they experience this routine as ever-fresh. (Govinda Lilamrta 3.12-16) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
