Arvindaksh das Posted November 9, 2001 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2001 Shri Shri Guru Gaurangau Jayatah !!! A PURE DEVOTEES PRAYER O Lord! it is my humble request, unto Your Lotus Feet. I don’t want bodily comfort, Knowledge, glory, wealth and followers. I don’t want a place in the heaven, nor spiritual liberation. I don’t pray to you for, personal benefit or social position. Due to merits and demerits of my acts, I may take any birth. Birth after birth tirelessly, I should sing Your glories. My request unto Your Lotus Feet is that, causless devotion rise in my heart. The attachment that I have for the material world, similar attachment I have for You. Comfort or discomfort I should remain same, and improve by the mercy of Your Holy Name. May I be beast or bird in heaven or hell, Your devotion may prosper in Bhaktivinode’s heart. Shrila Bhaktivinode Thakur In Shrimad Bhagvatam 3.4.15, Shri Udhava says: "For the pure devotees who render devotional service unto Your lotus feet, nothing is unattainable from dharma, artha, kaam and moksha i.e. these are easily attained. Then also O All-powerful, I am always desirous of the service of Your lotus feet and not the above worldly achievements." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Shrimad Bhagvatam 3.15.49, Shri Sanak-aadi munis say: O Supreme Lord ! If like the honey bee my heart and mind remains engrossed in Your Lotus Feet, and like the tulasi leaves my voice is glorified by praising Your Lotus Feet, and my ears are always full of listening your glorious deeds and lilaas, then we are not at all worried even if because of the demerits of our actions or karma we have to take birth in hell.

Arvindaksh das Posted November 24, 2001 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2001 Shri Shri Guru Gaurangau Jayatah !!! Shri Shri Radha Gopinath Jayatah !!! Devotion in the Braja mood, as highlighted in Shri Chaitanya Charitaamrita, 1.4.19-22….. The different different ways in which the devotees worship Me, In the same way I reciprocate their love and this is My quality. My dear son, my dear friend, the lordship of my heart, In this way one who with pure love to Me is devoted. Who thinks of himself to be big in love and Me as smaller, In the same way and gratitude I to his love surrender. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
