from Sanat Kumara Samhita

[Guest guest]

Out of 321 verses from Sanat Kumara Samhita I extracted some

nectarean ones for your transcendental pleasure. This is a conversation

between Narada Muni and Lord Siva. Siva's speaking...

120 One should take shelter of Lord Krsna. One should not take shelter of

anyone but Him. One should not strive to attain anyone but Him. One should

not desire anyone but Him. One should not have any goal but Him.

 

121 One should not worship anyone but Him. One should not bow down before

anyone but Him. One should not meditate on anyone but Him. One should not

gaze upon anyone but Him. One should not glorify anyone but Him. One should

not seek anyone but Him.

 

122 One should not eat the remnants of food eaten by anyone but Him. One

should not wear the garments and ornaments worn by anyone but Him. One

should not talk with they who are not devotees of the Lord. One should not

bow down before them or honor them in any way.

 

123 One should not hear the blasphemy of the Supreme Lord or His devotees.

One should cover one ears and go away. If one has the power, one should

punish the offender.

 

124 O brahmana, one should always serve the Lord and His devotees. Until

the moment of one's death one should follow the example of the cataki bird.

 

125 Rejecting lakes, rivers, oceans, and any other source of water, a

cataki bird will drink only water falling from a cloud. It will die of

thirst before accepting any other water.

 

126 Renouncing all other goals, one should think, "Sri Sri Radha-Krsna are

the only goal of my life."

 

127 One should accept what is favorable for service to the Lord, His

devotees, and one's spiritual master. One should reject what is not

favorable for Their service.

 

128 Sri Sri Radha-Krsna will protect anyone who even once surrenders to

Them. One should confidently think, "Sri Sri Radha-Krsna will protect me".

 

129 One should pray, "O Sri Sri Radha-Krsna, please rescue me from the

ocean of birth and death. Please rescue me from the troubles born from

children, friends, and home. Please break into pieces the fears of Your

surrendered devotee.

 

130 "O Sri Sri Radha-Krsna, today I place at Your feet Myself and

everything I possess either in this life or in the next.

 

131 "I am the home of all offenses. I have abandoned all spiritual duties.

I have no shelter. O Sri Sri Radha-Krsna, O my Lords, please become my

shelter.

 

132 "O master of Radha, I am Yours. O beloved of Lord Krsna, I am Yours. I

offer to You both my thoughts, words, and deeds. You both are the goal of my

life.

 

133 "O Sri Sri Radha-Krsna, You are like two great oceans of mercy. Please

be merciful to me. I take shelter of You. I surrender to You. Please engage

me, a sinner and an offender, in Your service."

 

134 O best of sages, one who desires to quickly attain the direct service

of the divine couple should daily recite these five verses.

 

135 In this way I have briefly described the external activities of the

surrendered souls. Now I will describe the activities hidden in their

hearts.
