Forget all that, here's a nice astaka: The Holy Name of Sri Hari Is All That Be madhuram madhurebhyo 'pi mangalebhyo 'pi mangalam pavanam pavanebhyo 'pi harer namaiva kevalam Of sweet things, it's the sweetest you will taste at any time; Of things that bring good fortune, it's good fortune's paradigm; Of things that purify, it purifies most powerf'lly; The Holy Name of Sri Hari is surely all that be. abrahma-stamba-paryantam sarvam maya-mayam jagat satyam satyam punah satyam harer namaiva kevalam >From Brahma's realm atop the sky down to the lowly grass, Illusion reigns in Maya-devi's treacherous morass. The truth, the truth, the only truth: the Name of Sri Hari. The Holy Name of Sri Hari is surely all that be. sa guruh sa pita capi sa mata bandhavo 'pi sah siksayec cet sada smartum harer namaiva kevalam He's the guru, he's the father, he's the friend most true, And she's the real mother who most kindly teaches you To always chant and hear the Holy Name of Sri Hari. The Holy Name of Sri Hari is surely all that be. nihsvase na hi visvasah kada ruddho bhavisyati kirtaniya mato balyad harer namaiva kevalam Remember that our final breath may come at any time, No matter if we're old and sick or in our youthful prime. So young and old alike should chant the Name incessantly. The Holy Name of Sri Hari is surely all that be. harih sada vaset tatra yatra bhagavata-janah gayanti bhakti-bhavena harer namaiva kevalam Lord Sri Hari forever dwells wherever devotees Whose hearts are fixed on Him and free of all impurities Uplift their voices high and sing His Name in ecstasy. The Holy Name of Sri Hari is surely all that be. aho duhkham maha-duhkham duhkhad duhkhataram yatah kacartham vismrtam ratna-harer namaiva kevalam Alas! What sorrow! What great pain! The worst calamity-- For people to forget the Holy Name of Sri Hari! Although the Name's a priceless gem, mere broken glass they see. The Holy Name of Sri Hari is surely all that be. diyatam diytatam karno niyatam niyatam vacah giyatam giyatam nityam harer namaiva kevalam Just fill your ears, just fill them with the Name of Sri Hari! Just chant the Name, just chant the Name with all sincerity! Just sing the Name, just sing the Holy Name eternally! The Holy Name of Sri Hari is surely all that be. trni-krtya-jagat sarvam rajate sakalopari cid-ananda-mayam suddham harer namaiva kevalam It makes this world appear like bits of straw upon the ground; It splendorously reigns supreme--Divinity in sound; It's filled with transcendental bliss and peerless purity; The Holy Name of Sri Hari is surely all that be. Inspired to glorify the Holy Name of Sri Hari, A certain sage composed this hymn in Sanskrit poetry. I pray that those who read this lowly version made by me Will chant the Holy Name of Sri Hari in ecstasy. Your servant Dravida dasa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this your rendering of the Phalasruti? If so, Where's the sanskrit of this? If not This was just a 'dravida twist' on the end? ys MMDASBR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2001 Report Share Posted April 9, 2001 nectar --------------------------- here's an idea to combat depression. Devotional offerings to Krsna done in devotional austerity. > Sometimes at the Radha Madana Mohana temple in Karoli > there is capana bhoga offered to the Deities. During this offering the raja > bhoga darsana is extended to about three hours long. The following story isn't about regular Deity standards, but it does illustrate Madanmohana's uncommon eating habits: In Akbar's time there was one staunch devotee in his employ who lived near Lucknow. In those days, Lucknow was famous for producing gur, (sugarcane juice cooked into a block of unrefined sugar.) This devotee (Sura dasa "Madanamohana") would always send various gifts to Vrindaban for Shrila Sanatana Gosvami's Deity, Shri Radha Madanamohana. Once, he had sent a cartload of gur to Shri Madanamohana. By the time it arrived, it was very late at night, and the Deity had already been put to rest. The cart was unloaded, and everyone took rest. But Madanamohan couldn't wait to eat the gur sent by His devotee, and He told the pujari so in a dream. He said He wanted a feast of malpua prepared immediately. So all the sevayatas got up and bathed, and began preparing a feast of malpua, which was then offered to the Deity. Madanamohana thus ate tons of malpua in the middle of the night.
