Guest guest Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Faith in Gauranga Listen here: http://www.guardian-of-devotion.de/audio/2.mp3 Srila Sridhara Maharaja: Gaurahari bol! Gaurahari bol! Gaurahari bol! … (Skipped) … Devotee: Lord Nityananda prabhu recommended simply chant Gauranga, Gauranga, Gauranga, Gauranga...(unclear) internal...? Srila Sridhara Maharaja: If we have faith in that we will be more ...gainer than taking Krishna nama. Because there is the concession part.. offenses.. Krishna nama kare aparadher vichara..and less offence in Gaura nama. But faith in Gauranga that is rare. To have faith have in Gauranga .. that is costly. Anyhow if you can gather that then you will be more benefited, more than you negotiate direct with Krishna. The offence is more possible on that side, less offence here, more forgiveness. But Krishna nama has got some universal characteristic accepted by major portion. And Gaura nama is not accepted in such a wider circle, so it difficult to put faith there. But if one can keep...have his faith then he will be a gainer ..Because less consideration of aparadha.. offense. He has particularly come for the fallen soul. So grace is more there. But to put faith in Him that will be difficult. Until we can understand Him ontologically, we cannot go by the help of our experience. Not accepted by greater circle as Krishna is accepted, so many higher scriptures also in favor of Krishna avatara. Wide circle accepts Krishna as Lord. No circle accepts Gauranga as God. Not so many scriptures supporting Him. It is difficult to have faith in Him. But anyhow one come nearer you will be more gainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
