Guest guest Posted June 8, 2003 Report Share Posted June 8, 2003 ODE TO THE ENVIOUS HIS DIVINE GRACE A. C. BHAKTIVEDANT A SWAMI PRABHUPADA The author of Caitanya-caritämåta, Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami, has condemned all his enemies by comparing them to envious hogs and pigs. The Krishna consciousness movement, which is spreading throughout the world, is being appreciated by sincere people, although they have never previously heard of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Krishna’s pastimes. Now even the higher, priestly circles are appreciating this movement. They have concluded that this movement is very nice and that they have something to learn from it. Nonetheless, in India there are some people who say that they belong to this cult but who are actually very envious of the äcärya. They have tried to suppress our activities in many ways, but as far as we are concerned, we follow in the footsteps of Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami and take them as envious pigs and hogs. We simply wish to present the pastimes of Lord Krishna and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to the best of our ability so that those who are really honest can cleanse their hearts. We hope that they enjoy this literature and bestow their blessings upon us. It appears that even such a great personality as Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami met with some envious obstacles; what, then, to speak of us, who are only insignificant creatures in this universe? We are simply trying to execute the orders of our spiritual master to the best of our ability. — Concluding note at the end of the madhya-lila of Caitanya-caritämåta.
