Lord Nitai the Most Merciful Avatar

[Guest guest]

"The expert devotees also can discover novel ways and

means to convert the nondevotees in terms of

particular time and circumstance. Devotional service

is dynamic activity, and the expert devotees can find

out competent means to inject it into the dull brains

of the materialistic population. Such transcendental

activities of the devotees for the service of the Lord

can bring a new order of life to the foolish society

of materialistic men." (Shrila Prabhupada in SB 1.5.16

purport)

 

"The spiritual master has to select a mantra for his

disciple according to the disciple’s ability to chant

different mantras." (SP in Cc Madhya 24.330)

 

 

 

The Supreme Benediction for the World - The name of

Nityananda Balarama

 

The Best Way to Worship Lord Nityananda is by the

chanting of His Name

 

THE NAME 'NITYANANDA' IMMEDIATELY EVOKES TEARS AND

ECSTASY OF PURE LOVE FOR KRISHNA EVEN IN A SINFUL

PERSON

 

Chaitanya-charitamrita Adi-lila 8.23:

`nityananda' balite haya krsna-premodaya;aulaya sakala

anga,asru-ganga vaya.

 

"Simply by chanting the name 'Nityananda' one awakens

his love for Krsna. Thus all his bodily limbs are

agitated by ecstasy of love of God, and tears flow

from his eyes like the waters of the Ganges."

 

--------

 

ANYONE WHO EVEN HEARS 'NITYANANDA' ONCE CERTAINLY

ACHIEVES KRISHNA

 

Chaitanya-bhagavata, Adi-khanda 9.385:

nityananda-hena bhakta sunile sravane; avasya paibe

krsnacandra sei jane.

 

Shripada Madhavendera Puri states:

 

"If one simply hears the name 'Nityananda', he will

most certainly attain the lotus feet of Lord

Krishnacandra irrespective of any other

consideration."

 

--------

 

BY CHANTING THE NAMES OF NITYANANDA & GAURANGA, SINFUL

REACTIONS OF UNLIMITED NO. OF LIVES ARE IMMEDIATELY

DESTROYED

 

Sri Navadvipa-dhama-mahatmya, Chp 1, states:

 

gauranga-nityananda yei bale eka bara; ananta

karama-dosa anta haya tara.

 

"The most fortunate person who chants the names

Nityananda and Gauranga just once immediately destroys

the unlimited sinful reactions accumulated for

unlimited number of past lives."

 

---------

 

BY CHANTING NITYANANDA & GAURANGA, KRISHNA-PREMA COMES

SEARCHING AFTER THAT PERSON. ONE ACHIEVES

KRISHNA-PREMA EVEN WITH OFFENSES IN HIS HEART AND THEN

OFFENSES FLEE. WHAT A SUBLIME AND EASY WAY TO GET

KRISHNA-PREMA!

 

nitai-caitanya bali yei jiva dake; suvimala

krsna-prema anvesaye thake.

 

"If one calls out the names of Nityananda and

Gauranga, the purest Krsna-prema (pure love of Krsna)

comes searching after such a person."

 

aparadha badha tara kichu nahi kare; nirmala

krsna-preme tara ankhi jhare.

 

"The offenses (which may be present) don't create any

obstacles in path of achieving this love and tears

start flowing from his eyes in pure ecstatic love."

 

svalpa kale aparadha apani palaya; hrdaya sodhita haya

prema bade taya.

 

"In a very short, the offenses themselves flee and the

heart becomes completely purified and thus the love

furthur increases.

GREAT ACHARYAS HAVE CONSTANTLY CHANTED THE NAME OF

NITYANANDA ON BEADS AS WELL AS IN KIRTANA

 

Cc Adi 11.33:

navadvipe purusottama pandita mahasaya,

nityananda-name yanra mahonmada haya

 

Purusottama Pandita, a resident of Navadvipa, was the

Krishna's eighth gopala, Stoka-Krsna for Vrindavan. He

would become almost mad as soon as he chanted or heard

the holy name 'Nityananda'.

 

Cc Adi 11.34

balarama dasa--krsna-prema-rasasvadi, nityananda-name

haya parama unmadi

 

Balarama dasa always fully tasted the nectar of love

of Krsna. Upon chanting or hearing the name of

'Nityananda', he would become extremely maddened.

 

nityananda bali' yabe karena hunkara, taha dekhi'

lokera haya maha-camatkara

 

"Minaketana Ramadasa, the great associate of Lord

Nityananda who loudly call ot the name of 'Nityananda'

constantly and by hearing this the people around him

were filled with great wonder and astonishment."

 

--------

 

Shrila Visvanatha Chakravarti Thakura in Sri

Ksanada-gita-cintamani:

 

patita durgata yata kali-hata yara, nitai caitanya

bali nace gaya tara

 

"The fallen, misguided and unfortunate souls

devastated by Kali-yuga will dance in ectsasy when

they chant the names of Nityananda and Gauranga since

this is the only way for their deliverance."

________________________

 

Shrila Locana Dasa Thakura states:

 

nitai-gaura-nama, anandera dhama,

jei jana nahi laya

tare yamaraya, dhare laya jaya,

narake dubaya taya

 

"The transcendental names of Nityananda and Gauranga

are the supreme abodes

of unlimited happiness. Those who don't chant the

names of Nityananda and

Gauranga surely become victims of Yamaraja, the god of

death. Yamaraja will

drag them and forcibly drown them in the most

abominable hellish regions."

 

---------

 

THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS PURIFIED BY CHANTING THE NAME OF

'NITYANANDA'

 

Shri Chaitanya-Bhagavata, Madhya-Khanda 3.134:

 

vanik adhama murkha ye karila para, brahmanda

pavitra haya nama laile yanra.

 

Translation:

 

"The entire universe is purified by chanting the name

of Lord Nityananda as it is only He who delivered the

fallen, the foolish, and the merchants."

 

Purport by Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura

Prabhupada:

 

[...] nityanandera prabhura nama shravana karile

jagatera sakala lokera papa-pravrtti prashamita haiya

pavitra tara udaya haya. vanik, adhama, murkha -

iharau pavitra haiya brahmajna u bhagavad-bhakta hana.

 

"Simply by chanting or hearing the name of Lord

Nityananda, the sinful inclinations in the hearts of

all the living entities in the universe are

permanently destroyed and their inherent purity is

automatically awakened. On chanting or hearing the

name of Lord Nityananda, even the merchants, degraded,

fallen and foolish people are purified and immediately

become realized in the Absolute Truth and devotees of

the Lord."

 

--------

 

BECAUSE WITHOUT NITYANANDA ONE CAN NEVER ACHIEVE THE

MERCY OF GAURANGA EVEN AFTER WORSHIPING GAURANGA FOR A

MINIMUM 100 LIVES

 

From Shri Navadvipa-dhama-mahatmya, Chp 4:

 

tumi yabe kara daya sei anayase; sri caitanya-.

paya prema-jale bhase.

 

Srila Jiva tells Lord Nityananda, "If You are merciful

on someone, that person will effortlessly achieve the

lotus feet of Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu and thus drown

in the ocean of pure ecstatic love for Lord Krsna.

 

tomara karuna vina gaura nahi paya, sata janma bhaje

yadi gauranga hiyaya.

 

"But if someone does not get Your mercy, then such a

person will never achieve Lord Gaura even if he or she

worships Lord Gauranga for a minimum of 100

lifetimes."

 

Chaitanya-charitamrita Antya 6.131:

tomara krpa vina keha`caitanya' na paya;tumi krpa

kaile tanre adhameha paya.

 

"No one can attain the shelter of Sri Caitanya

Mahaprabhu without Your (Lord Nityananda's) mercy, but

if You are merciful, even the lowest of men can attain

shelter at His lotus feet."

BECAUSE IF GAURANGA'S PUNISHES, NITYANANDA PROTECTS US

BUT IF NITYANANDA PUNISHES THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO HOPE

 

From Shri Navadvipa-dhama-mahatmya, Chp 4: Jiva

Goswami to Lord Nityananda:

gaura danta kara yadi tumi raksa kara, tumi yare danta

kara gaura tara para.

 

"If Lord Gauranga punishes a devotee, You (Nityananda)

protect him and somehow engage him in Gauranga's

service (like in the example of Kala Krsnadasa), but

if You punish a devotee, he eternally becomes

estranged from Lord Gauranga."

_______________________

 

BECAUSE NITYANANDA'S NAME AND FORM ARE FULL OF SUPREME

ETERNAL BLISS

 

Chaitanya-bhagavata, Madhya-khanda 12.18:

name nityananda tumi, rupe nityananda; ei tumi

nityananda rama murttimanta.

 

Lord Gauranga tells Lord Nityananda:

 

"Your name is Nityananda (eternally full of eternal

bliss). Your form is also Nityananda (eternally full

of eternal bliss). Your are Nityananda (unlimited

bliss) in personified form because You are Lord

Balarama Himself."

BECAUSE WITHOUT NITYANANDA ONE CAN NEVER ACHIEVE

RADHA-KRSNA AND VRINDAVNA-DHAMA

 

Chaitanya-charitamrita Adi 5.204:

jaya jaya nityananda-caranaravinda, yanha haite painu

sri-radha-govinda

 

"All glory, all glory to the lotus feet of Lord

Nityananda, by whose mercy I have attained Sri

Radha-Govinda!"

 

Shrila Narottama das Thakura sings:

heno nitai vine bhai, radha-krishna paite nai

 

"Unless one worships Nityananda, one can never achieve

Radha-Krsna."

 

nitae karuna habe vraje radha-krsna pabe

 

"If Nityananda is merciful,only then one will achieve

the direct service of Radha-Krsna in Vraja."

BECAUSE NO ONE IN THIS CREATION BUT ONLY LORD

NITYANANDA AND HIS NAME CAN BESTOW MERCY ON THE MOST

FALLEN SOULS LIKE US

 

Chaitanya-charitamrita Adi 5.207:

emana nirghrna more keba krpa kare, eka nityananda

vinu jagat bhitare

 

"Who in this creation but Lord Nityananda could show

His mercy to such an abominable, comtemptible and the

lowest person as me?

_______________________

 

BECAUSE LORD NITYANANDA BESTOWS MERCY WITHOUT EVEN

CONSIDERING OUR QUALIFICATION

 

Chaitanya-charitamrita Adi 5.208-9:

preme matta nityananda krpa-avatara, uttama, adhama,

kichu na kare vicara

 

"Because He is always fully intoxicated by ecstatic

love for Lord Gauranga, He is an incarnation of

causeless mercy. Thus He does not distinguish between

the good and the bad people because He Himself is

always intoxicated in pure love.

 

ye age padaye, tare karaye nistara, ataeva nistarila

mo-hena duracara

 

"He indiscriminately delivers all those who simply

fall down before Him. Therefore He has delivered such

a sinful and fallen person as me."

_______________________

 

BECAUSE LORD NITYANANDA IMMEDIATELY BESTOWS HIS

TOPMOST MERCY PLEASED AT A SLIGHTEST SERVICE RENDERED

BY US

 

Cc Adi 5.181:

bhaike bhartsinu muni, lana ei guna, sei ratre prabhu

more dila darasana

 

"That night Lord Nityananda personally appeared to me

in a dream in His most enchanting form and placed His

lotus feet on my head and gave me eternal residence in

Shri Vrindavana-dhama simply because I defended His

glories and that of His intimate associate Minaketana

Ramadasa while quarelling with my brother who had

faith in Lord Gauranga but only a shadow of faith in

Lord Nityananda." (WHAT A MERCIFUL LORD!)

_______________________

 

BECAUSE ANYONE WHO HAS NO RELATION WITH NITYANANDA BY

THE REGULAR CHANTING OF HIS NAME HAS WASTED HIS LIFE

AND IS JUST LIKE AN ANIMAL

 

se sambandha nahi ja'r, brtha janma gelo ta'r

sei pasu boro duracar

nitai na bolilo mukhe, majilo samsara-sukhe

vidya-kule ki koribe tar (Narottama das Thakura)

 

"Anyone who has not established his relationship with

Nityananda Prabhu by chanting His name 'Nityananda' is

understood to have spoiled his valuable human birth.

Such a human being is actually an uncontrollable

animal. Because he never uttered the holy name

'Nityananda', he has become merged into so-called

material happiness. What can his useless education and

family tradition do to save him from the cycle of

birth and death?"

 

-------

 

BECAUSE ONE CAN NEVER EVEN VISIT VRINDAVANA WITHOUT

ACHIEVING THE MERCY OF NITYANANDA AND GAURANGA BY VERY

REGULARLY CHANTING THEIR NAMES DAILY

 

Cc Adi 8.3 purport:

 

"In the beginning one should very regularly chant Sri

Gaurasundara's holy name and then chant the holy name

of Lord Nityananda. Thus one's heart will be cleansed

of impure desires for material enjoyment. Then one can

approach Vrndavana-dhama to worship Lord Krsna. Unless

one is favored by Lord Caitanya and Nityananda, there

is no need to go to Vrndavana, for unless one's mind

is purified, he cannot see Vrndavana, even if he goes

there."

____________________

 

THE HOLY NAMES OF NITYANANDA-GAURANGA ARE THE ONLY WAY

FOR THE OFFENSIVE SOULS TO ACHIEVE LOVE OF GOD

 

In Shri Chaitanya-Charitamrita Adi-lila 8.31, Shrila

Krishnadas Kaviraja Goswami states this verse for the

benefit of all living entities:

 

caitanya-nityanande nahi esaba vicara

nama laite prema dena, vahe asrudhara

 

"But if one only chants, with faith or mechanically or

even without sufficient faith the holy names of Lord

Gauranga and Nityananda, very quickly he is cleansed

of all offenses. Since in the chanting of the names of

Nityananda-Gauranga there is no consideration of

offenses like in the names of Krishna which one may

chant for many many lifetimes with offenses without

achieving love of Krishna, one will very quickly come

to the stage of love of God and tears of pure love

flow from his eyes, simply by chanting

Gauranga-Nityananda's names."

Translation: "The Hare Krsna maha-mantra considers the

offenses whereas the names of Gauranga-Nityananda

don't consider offenses. An offensive chanter will

never achieve the fruit of chanting (pure love for

Krsna) simply by chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra."

 

*********************************************

 

(THE SECRET OF ALL SECRETS)

 

(Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta continues): "THEREORE TILL THE

TIME HE IS COMMITTING OFFENSES, HE SHOULD REGULARLY

CHANT THE NAMES OF GAURANGA-NITYANANDA WHICH ARE THE

GRAHANAKARI-NAMA (MOST IMP NAMES TO BE ACCEPTED AND

CHANTED) FOR THE SADHAKA IN THE ANARTHA-YUKA STAGE.

DUE TO THE *REPEATED CHANTING OF THE NAMES OF

GAURANGA-NITYANANDA, ALL THE OFFENSES WILL BE

DESTROYED AND HE WILL VERY QUICKLY ACHIEVE THE FRUIT

OF THE CHANTING, PURE LOVE OF KRSNA."

 

*********************************************

 

(Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada continues) "The

philosophical principle behind these statements is as

follows -- The aspirant who is averse to Lord Krsna

approaches Lord Gauranga-Nityananda to become

attracted to Lord Krsna. The Hare Krsna maha-mantra

can only be uttered purely by the sadhaka who is on

the perfected stage (sadhana-siddha) and who is free

from all anarthas (unwanted things in the heart). If

sadhakas full of offenses chant the maha-mantra, the

maha-mantra will never give them love for Krsna.

 

"Thus Lord Gauranga-Nityananda are the most

worshippable Lords for the souls who are full of

offenses and Their Names are too. That is why Their

service and the service of Their Names and Pastimes is

more appropriate and beneficial for these unfortunate

souls than even the service of Lord Krsna. If the

sadhaka without hearing proper instructions, proudly

thinks himself to be on the perfected stage and tries

to render direct service to the Hare Krsna maha-mantra

by chanting it, then the offenses will surely come and

bar his progress. On the other hand, if the sadhaka

who is full of offenses, gives up his sense of false

pride of thinking himself on the perfected stage, and

thus approaches and worships the two Jagadgurus Lord

Nityananda-Gauranga and takes Their Names and

instructions from Them, Their Pastimes and Their

devotees, They will deliver him from all offenses and

reward him with the realization of Their own forms

(svarupas) of Svayam-Rupa (Lord Caitanya) and

Svayam-Prakasa (Lord Nityananda). Then the soul

realizes one own constitutional position in relation

with the two Lords and thus achieves perfection."

English translation (Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada

continues): "The name of Krsna and Gauranga - both are

non-different than the named Lord. Those who think

that Krsna is any way inferior or limited than

Gauranga are in gross ignorance."

 

*********************************************

 

(PRAYOJANA-VICARE - MORE USEFUL)

 

(Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada continues): "BUT IN

PRACTICAL (PRAYOJANA) CONSIDERATIONS WITH RESPECT TO

THE BENEFIT AWARDED TO THE CONDITIONED SOULS, THE

CHANTING OF GAURANGA-NITYANANDA'S NAME IS **MORE

USEFUL AND HELPFUL** FOR EVERY LIVING ENTITY. LORD

KRISHNA'S MERCY IS GENERALLY ONLY UPON THE LIBERATED

OR PERFECTED SOULS WHO ARE SURRENDERED TO HIM. BUT THE

MAGNANIMITY AND MERCY OF LORD GAURANGA-NITYANANDA

NAMES IS ESPECIALLY FOR THE SOULS WHO ARE OFFENDERS

AND FULL OF ANARTHAS AND DESIRES FOR MATERIAL SENSE

GRATIFICATION."

 

*********************************************

 

(Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada continues) "The

chanting of Lord Gauranga-Nityananda's names and Their

worship very quickly delivers the soul from all the

offenses and thus the soul achieves shelter at the

lotus feet of Lord Gauranga-Krsna."

 

-------

 

The glories of Lord Nityananda as the incarnation of

Lord Balarama, the origin of both the spiritual and

material world, are given in the revealed scriptures

as follows:

 

Vayu Purana

 

(1) balaramo mamaivamsah, so 'pi mat-prstham esyati;

nityananda iti khyato nyasi-cudamanih ksitau

 

In the Vayu Purana, the Lord tells Brahma: "Lord

Balarama, who is My first expansion and non-different

from Me will also appear by My side as Lord Sri

Nityananda. He will become the crest jewel of all

renunciants on the earth."

 

(2) krtvavadhuta-vesam sa, dharman bhagavatan bahun;

grahayitva janan ittham grhinam asramam tatah.

 

"Assuming the dress of an avadhuta, He will freely

distribute bhagavata dharma i.e. love of God. He will

distribute this pure love through various means and

deliver all the living entities. He will do so first

as a brahmacari and later as a householder."

 

(3) jahnavy-adibhir atmanam, darsayisyati manavan.

 

"Accompanied by His eternal consort Shrimati

Jahnavi-devi and many other intimate associates, He

(Nityananda) will reveal His transcendental pastimes

to the people."

 

Ananta-Samhita

 

nityanando maha-kayo, bhutva mat-kirtane ratah;

vimudhan bhakti-rahitan, mama bhaktan karisyasi.

 

In the Ananta-Samhita, the Lord states to

Anantadeva: "When I appear in Navadvipa in Kali-yuga ,

You will become Nityananda. You will have a very tall,

beautiful and large body, and You will be constantly

absorbed in chanting My name and glories. In this way,

by Your causeless mercy You will convert many

bewildered fools who are devoid of devotion into My

pure unalloyed devotees."

 

Shri Chaitanya-Charitamrita, Adi 1.8-9

 

sankarsanah karana-toya-sayi

garbhoda-sayi ca payobdhi-sayi

sesas ca yasyamsa-kalah sa nitya-

nandakhya-ramah saranam mamastu

 

May Sri Nityananda Rama be the object of my constant

remembrance. Sankarsana, Sesa Naga and the Visnus who

lie on the Karana Ocean, Garbha Ocean and ocean of

milk are His plenary portions and the portions of His

plenary portions.

 

mayatite vyapi-vaikuntha-loke

purnaisvarye sri-catur-vyuha-madhye

rupam yasyodbhati sankarsanakhyam

tam sri-nityananda-ramam prapadye

 

I surrender unto the lotus feet of Sri Nityananda

Rama, who is known as Sankarsana in the midst of the

catur-vyuha [consisting of Vasudeva, Sankarsana,

Pradyumna and Aniruddha]. He possesses full opulences

and resides in Vaikunthaloka, far beyond the material

creation.

 

CONCLUSION:

 

One can worship Lord Nityananda in the topmost manner

by chanting His name (atleast 1008 times or 10 rounds)

daily and by daily reading (1 chapter of)

Chaitanya-Bhagavata daily which is the topmost

scripture on the glories of Lord Nityananda composed

by His most confidential associate Shrila Vrindavana

das Thakura. And also by daily worshiping the Deities

of Lord Nityananda-Gauranga!

 

Shri Nityananda-Stuti by Lord Gauranga Himself

CBh Madhya-khanda

 

4.34

 

visvambhara bale,-"subha divasa amara

dekhilana bhakti-yoga-cari-veda-sara

 

Lord Visvambhara said, "Today is an aupicious day for

Me, for I have seen devotional service, which is the

essence of the four Vedas.

 

Purport by Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura

Prabhupada

 

Devotional service alone is the purport and essence of

the four Vedas. The Vedic literatures have ascertained

devotional service as the only "essence." When the

living entity's full knowledge is awakened, then

devotional service, which is his eternal propensity,

is aroused. A heart that is filled with the service

attitude is qualified to achieve knowledge of the

Supreme Lord, and, after achieving knowledge, it

becomes fixed in the service of the Lord.

 

4.35

e-kampa, e asru, e garjana huhunkara

eha ki isvara-sakti bai haya ara

 

"Are such shivering, such tears, and such loud

roaring possible for anyone other than one who is

empowered by the Lord?

 

4.36

sakrt e bhakti-yoga nayane dekhile

tahare o krsna na chadena kona-kale

 

"Krsna will never forsake even one who directly sees

such exalted devotional service exhibited by Lord

Nityananda."

 

Krsna can never leave the fortunate servant who sees

such mental and physical transformations of love in

the course of Nityananda's service.

 

4.37-43

"O Nityananda, I have understood that You are the

manifestation of the Lord's full energy, therefore

only by worshiping You a living entity attains

devotional service to Krsna. You are able to purify

the fourteen worlds. Your confidential characteristics

are inconceivable and unfathomable. Who is qualified

to recognize You, for You are the personified wealth

of loving devotion to Lord Krsna. If a person

associates with You for even a moment by chanting Your

name even once, he will be delivered even if he has

committed millions of sinful activities. I have

understood that Krsna will deliver Me, because He has

given Me Your association. Out of great fortune I have

seen Your lotus feet. Just by worshiping You I will

achieve the wealth of love for Krsna." Lord Gauranga

was fully absorbed as He incessantly offered prayers

to Nityananda.

 

Gaurasundara was fully absorbed as He offered

incessant prayers to to Nityananda. He said, "You are

the full manifestation of the Lord's energy and the

personification of the sandhini-sakti. Just by serving

You a living entity's propensity for serving Krsna is

awakened. O Nityananda, You are capable of easily

purifying the seven upper planetary systems of Satya,

Jana, Mahah, Tapah, Bhuh, Bhuvah, and Svar as well as

the seven lower planetary systems headed by Atala.

Your activities are beyond the jurisdiction of the

living entities' mental perception. Your confidential

characteristics are incomprehensible to the living

entities. In fact, no one is able to understand You in

truth. You are the direct manifestation of Krsna's

loving devotion. If anyone infested with millions of

sinful activities attains Your association for even a

moment, he can never be called unfortunate. Though he

is sinful, he is nevertheless most fortunate. I have

clearly understood that Lord Krsna has sent You to

deliver Me. One who worship You will certainly attain

the wealth of love for Krsna. Since I have attained

the good fortune of seeing Your lotus feet, it is to

be understood that I have met with some particularly

good fortune.
