[Nectar] The Holy Name as the form of Krishna

[Guest guest]

A senior Godbrother once related this story to help enliven us in

chanting Japa. He said:

 

"Imagine if one day your spiritual master came to you and said I have

these very special Deities of Radha and Krishna. I have been worshiping

them very strictly for decades, every day offering loving puja and

wonderful offerings to Their divine forms. And these Deities were

worshipped with the same love and attention by my own Guru Maharaj

until he gave them to me.

 

And my Guru Maharaj's own Guru similarly worshipped these divine forms

before he presented them to my Guru. In this way these transcendental

Deities have been worshipped strictily and with great devotion

throughout our parampara through time immemorial--all the way upto the

Adi Guru Himself, Sri Balaram. Once a master's disciple was determined

to be qualified, the master would present the parampara Deity to the

disciple so that he could continue the timeless tradition.

 

These Deities are not made out of any eartly materials...they are the

Divine Forms of Sri-Sri Radha and Krishna in the form of sound

vibration. As our whole Guru parampara has been worshipping them, at

the time of initiation I formally present to you Radha and Krishna in

the form of the Holy Names so that you may continue our tradition of

worship. Please every day make it your life and soul to serve them with

great attention and devotion by chanting the prescribed quota of

Harinam on beads."
