gHari Posted November 29, 2003 Report Share Posted November 29, 2003 The four-syllable Gaura Mantra is Gau-ra-an-ga as noted in SrI Caitanya-caritAmRta Antya-lIlA 2.31:<blockquote>‘gaura-gopAla mantra' tomAra cAri akSara avizvAsa chADa, yei kariyAcha antara" SYNONYMS gaura-gopAla mantra--the Gaura-gopAla mantra; tomAra--your; cAri akSara--composed of four syllables; avizvAsa chADa--give up your doubts; yei--which; kariyAcha antara--you have kept within your mind. TRANSLATION "You are chanting the Gaura-gopAla mantra, composed of four syllables. Now please give up the doubts that have resided within you." PURPORT SrIla Bhaktivinoda ThIkura explains the Gaura-gopAla mantra in his AmRta-pravAha-bhASya. Worshipers of SrI Gaurasundara accept the four syllables gau-ra-aG-ga as the Gaura mantra, but pure worshipers of RAdhA and KRSNa accept the four syllables rA-dhA kRS-Na as the Gaura-gopAla mantra. However, VaiSNavas consider SrI Caitanya MahAprabhu nondifferent from RAdhA-KRSNa (zrI-kRSNa-caitanya rAdhA-kRSNa nahe anya). Therefore one who chants the mantra "gaurAGga" and one who chants the names of RAdhA and KRSNa are on the same level. </blockquote> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
