His Last Words

 

Lord Gauranga ( Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu) said, " Listen Swaroopa and

Ramananda Raj! The chanting of Krishna's Name is the chief means of

attaining Krishna's feet in the Kali Yuga. Sankirtan of the Name is

the supreme healer in the Iron Age. Sankirtan tantamounts to Vedic

sacrifice. Sankirtan destroys sins and purifies the heart and creates

Bhakti. Chant the name while sitting, standing, walking, eating, in

bed and everywhere. The Name is omnipotent. You can repeat the Name

at any place, at any time.

 

" Listen, Swaroopa and Ramananda! I tell you about the mental attitude

with which the Name should be recited.

 

" Hari's Name should always be chanted by him who must be humbler than

a blade of grass (which is trodden upon); who is more patient,

forbearing and charitable than a tree (which does not cry out even

when it is cut down, and which does not beg for water even when

scorched to death, but on the contrary, offers its treasure to

whosoever seeks it, bears the sun and rain itself but protects those

who take shelter under it from rain and sunshine); who, however

worthy of esteem should, instead of claiming respect for himself,

give respect to all (from a sense of God's immanency in all beings).

He who thus takes Krishna's Name gets Krishna-prem " .

 

Lord Gauranga ( Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu) became more humble in

spirit and recited the following Sloka:-

 

" Oh Lord, I ask not for wealth or followers, or for poetic genius.

May my motiveless devotion to Thee continue in me whenever I take

birth. "

 

Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, also known as Lord Gauranga disappeared on

the 14th June, 1533.

 

Chetodarpana Marjanain Bhava Mahadavagni Nirvapanam

Sreyah Kairava Chandrikaa Vitaranam Vidhyavadhoo Jivanam;

Anandambudhi Vardhanam Pratipadam Purnamrita Swadanam

Sarvatmasnapanam Param Vijayate Sri Krishna Sankirtanam.

 

" Glorified above all is the chanting of the various names of Krishna

which cleanses the mirror of Chitta (sub-conscious), which

extinguishes the great forest fire of the succession of births and

rebirths, which operates like the moonbeam upon the white lily of

spiritual well-being, which is the elixir of life of the bride Vidya,

which makes the ocean of bliss swell, which gives the chanter the

fullest enjoyment of that divine love at the utterance of each word,

and which bathes the mind and the senses in divine bliss. " --Gauranga -

Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
