Pätha Mahätmya:-

The most fortunate soul, who recites this Stotra, fasts and offers worship to the Supreme Lord Çré Nityananda Prabhu on the most auspicious thirteenth day of the bright fortnight in the month of Mägha{Jan-Feb} [ Ñri Nityananda Trayodaçé Tithé ], will certainly have all of ones desires quickly fulfilled.

[mahak]

CC Adi 5.50: I offer my full obeisances unto the feet of Sri Nityananda Rama, whose partial representation called Karanodakasayi Vishnu, lying on the Karana Ocean, is the original purusha, the master of the illusory energy, and the shelter of all the universes.

mahaksadasa

 

Nityananda Prabhu ki Jaya! When I go to India this time, we are going to see Ekachakra dhama. Can't wait, you must know the feeling.

[mahak]

I do understand the story of the poor brahmana who had no facility to worship, so did so in his mind, burning his finger in imagination, and when back from samadhi, saw the blister.

 

The potency of Lord Nityananda is unfathomable. Even devotees cannot comprehend, because Srila Krsnadas Kaviraja states that Lord Ananta, a partial incarnation of Lord Nityananda, with unlimited tongues, has chanted His glories from time immemorial, and is not near finished.

 

Srila Prabhupada describes Lord Govinda as the primal Lord, and Lord Nityananda Rama is the first plenary representation. So when we speak of the various mahavisnus, the various incarnations, the Lord Narayana, lord of the Vaikuntha Spiritual world, all these forms of the Lord Spring from Lord Nityananda.

 

And He is so kind that he personally appears before each and every sentient being as the localized Paramatma, Sri Chaita Guru, to enact guru tattwa when the self is sincerely ready to begin the process of Bhakti Yoga. All Glories to Lord Nityananda, always a pleasant personality, as Balarama, as Sri Laksmana, and as our ever well wisher, the witness being that never leaves our side, regardless of our attempts to hide from Him.

 

Haribol , ys, mahaksadasa

Induleka didi. Thanks for posting this! I'd like to read it, but the Sanskrit/Bengali is all mangled.

 

Perhaps you'll have better luck using this Sanskrit conversion tool than I have:

http://www.granthamandira.com/convert/index.html

 

I've tried before to use it to clean up Sanskrit from copy/pastes from the books of Srila Sridhar Maharaja, but I'm told non-standard fonts were used. Supposedly, the conversion tool works just fine for text using the Balarama font (and others).

 

Maybe one of the Sanskrit scholars on the forum can offer some advice on how to use it.

Prabhuji, I don't know how to make it any better. But you can see this very clearly if you go here: http://www.nityananda.gaurangapada.com/108-holy-names.htm. I am very sorry for the inconvenience. _/\_o_.

[Murali_Mohan_das]

Nope. It looks exactly the same. I guess it's time I install the "Balarama" font on my work PC.

 

The page to which I linked offers a converter utility to convert proprietary fonts like "Balarama" to text-only formats or to Unicode.

 

Did you notice this bit on the page to which you linked?

 

 

Get Balarama font to read these 108 names here .

Prabhuji, I did notice. But if I click on it, it doesn't work. When I copy and paste this on a Word Document it says that it is Balarama font. So I really don't know what to do about this. Sorry. Yes, it might be a good idea for you to install Balarama font on your PC.

[Murali_Mohan_das]

I see. There's a broken link to the fonts on that site.

 

It looks like the Balarama fonts can also be found here:

I just installed them and am about to reboot (wish me luck!).

Tell me if it works.

Tell me if it works.

 

Yep. Now that I've installed the Balarama font, I can now see what you posted as you intended it to be seen.

 

I tried to use the GGM converter tool without success in either Internet Explorer (IE) or Firefox, so I tried another tool linked to from the GGM site:

http://www.bhasa.net/diCrunch.php

 

The source was set to "Balarama" and the target was set to "Harvard-Kyoto" (a system of representing Sanskrit with "diacritics" in plain text".

 

Here's what I got:

I tried to use the GGM converter tool without success in either Internet Explorer (IE) or Firefox, so I tried another tool linked to from the GGM site:

http://www.bhasa.net/diCrunch.php

 

The source was set to "Balarama" and the target was set to "Harvard-Kyoto" (a system of representing Sanskrit with "diacritics" in plain text".

Perhaps the best way to post Sanskrit to the web is to use Unicode, since it can represent all the diacritics without needing any special fonts installed.

 

Here is what "Balarama" to "Unicode" looks like (assuming this site supports Unicode, if not, it'll be more gobbeldy-gook):

 

 

çrimän-nityänanda-candräya namaù

 

“I offer my humble obeisances to the transcendental moon

Lord Çrémän Nityänanda Prabhu.”nityänandam ahaà vande, karëe lambita-mauktikam ;

caitanyägraja-rüpeëa, pavitré-kåta-bhütalam .

“I humbly bow down to and glorify Lord Çré Nityänanda Prabhu, on whose beautiful left lotus ear one elegant pearl ornament is swinging. Accepting the role as the elder brother of the Supreme Lord Gauränga Mahäprabhu, Lord Nityänanda Prabhu sanctified the whole world and purified all the living entities.”

...

 

 

Nope, looks like this forum doesn't have Unicode support.

 

So, the most universally-compatible way to post Sanskrit would be to use Harvard-Kyoto.

At least is it readable to you now? What do you think about these names? Please give some feedback.

 

I've read the names and am now rolling on the ground in ecstasy foaming at the mouth. My co-workers are looking at me a bit strangely.

 

 

Well, not exactly, but reading those names is very enlivening!

Well yes, Lord Nityananda's mercy also includes that he will destroy the crooked mentality of such beings. I hope one day he will shower such mercy on me and also destroy my crooked mentality. Of course, I must be more sincere and eager for Lord Nityananda to do such a thing. When he comes to smash my anarthas I cannot hold on to them tightly and say, "Oh Lord, please smash my anarthas." I wish I would become more sincere.
