July 23, 2002

Prayer to the Lotus Feet of Krsna

by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

on board the ship Jaladuta, September 13, 1965

Verse 3

tara iccha balavan pascatyete than than

hoy jate gauranger nam

prthivite nagaradi asamudra nada nadi

sakalei loy krsna nam

Translation: By his (Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada's)

strong desire, THE HOLY NAME OF GAURANGA will spread throughout all the

countries of the Western world. Then in all the cities, towns, and villages

on the earth, from all the oceans, seas, rivers, and streams, everyone will

chant THE HOLY NAME OF KRSNA.

"[...]Vaisnavas consider Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu nondifferent from

Radha-Krsna (sri-krsna-caitanya radha-krsna nahe anya). Therefore *ONE WHO

CHANTS THE MANTRA "GAURANGA" and ONE WHO CHANTS THE NAMES OF RADHA AND KRSNA

ARE ON THE SAME LEVEL." (Srila Prabhupada in Cc Antya-lila 2.31 purport)

Prabhupada: "Now, what is the difference, Nitai-Gauranga and Hare Krsna?

Nitai-Gauranga and Hare Krsna, there is no difference. Nitai-Gauranga is

also nice. Whatever he finds convenient, let him chant." (Shrila

Prabhupada's Room Conversation with Yoga Student, March 14, 1975, Iran)
