Guest guest Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 Hare Krsna my dear devotees. I hope your week has been blessed by the mercy of the Lord, we all need this mercy to carry on with our service and sometimes because we want to act as a naughty child we tend to live our lives as if we are the proprietors of this body, world and feel like controlling. We are all here because we were envious of the Lord but now we are learning how to put Krsna in our lives and understand that He is first in everything we do. Chanting the holy names makes us more aware of our consitutional position of eternal servants. Here is a nice quote from the Sri Caitanya Candramritam:svadam svadam madhurimabharam sviya namavalinam madam madam kimapi vivasibhutavisrastagatrahbarambaram vrajapati gunan gaya-gayeti jalpangauro drstah sakrdapi na yairdughata tesu bhaktih (15)Always absorbed in chanting and relishing his own holy names, Gaurasundar becomes intoxicated with ever-increasing passion. Sometimes he swoons, falling to the ground in a display of ineffable exultation. The Lord invites everyone, repeatedly encouraging them to sing the wonderful qualities of Sri Krishna, the prince of Vraja. But those who have never seen or perceived him in meditation, even only briefly, for them the attainment of prema bhakti is almost impossible. Sri Caitanya Candramritam by Prabodhananda Sarasvatipada- Excerpt of his prayers.The symptoms of one who is fully engaged in the process of chanting with love is difficult to describe but we have an idea of the love our acharyas showed while chanting, first feeling lots of mercy and love for every living entity trying to engage every one of them in Harinam Sankirtan. Goura Purnima is coming soon and this verse is to remind us of the great love Lord Chaitanya showed so we can have an idea of this pure love of Krsna, prema. I pray so I can constantly chant the holy names of the Lord and receive association of the great vaisnavas so I can always be reminded of my position as eternal servant of the Lord.Wishing you all a very good week of chanting and lots of inspirations and blessings coming from the Lord. your servant,Aruna devi -- LET US NOT MAKE OUR STOMACH A GRAVEYARD. LET US NOT EAT FLESH. LET US BE VEGETARIANS AND STAY HEALTHY. Animals are to be loved, not eaten. Eating flesh is good neither for the mind nor for the intellect, not even for the body. It distorts the basic character of human. Think Soul is Soul and it came from the Supreme Soul...God Head Krishna Chant:Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare HareHare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
