Frodo Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 Hi, I am looking for any other English translations of the Caitanya Caritamrita scripture than the one of Srila Prabhupada. I am actually looking for any available puports by other Vaishnava acharyas of the Madhya-lila 22.107 verse. Srila Prabhupada respective verse translation did not include any purports. Here the verse and the translation by Srila Prabhupada: CC Madhya-lila 22.107 nitya-siddha kṛṣṇa-prema 'sādhya' kabhu naya śravaṇādi-śuddha-citte karaye udaya SYNONYMS nitya-siddha — eternally established; kṛṣṇa-prema — love of Kṛṣṇa; sādhya — to be gained; kabhu — at any time; naya — not; śravaṇa-ādi — by hearing, etc.; śuddha — purified; citte — in the heart; karaye udaya — awakens. TRANSLATION "Pure love for Kṛṣṇa is eternally established in the hearts of the living entities. It is not something to be gained from another source. When the heart is purified by hearing and chanting, this love naturally awakens. This verse was spoken by Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself and is the key verse of Krishna Consciousness. Caitanya here clearly confirms that all jivas are prema-bhaktas, therfore nitya-siddhas, independently of their form, animals, plants, stones, humanoids from other stars and on earth etc. This verse therefore confirms that everyone of us know Radharani and Krishan since ever, meaning that we have seen Radha and Krishna face to face in Vaikuntha/Goloka prior to consciously promise them that we come to this material world to different realms/galaxies/stars to stretch our arms, all of us through our individual sacrifice to also suffer, with the purpose to help the rebells (fallen jivas from Vaikuntha) to again turn their heart back to love. The rebells (fallen jivas/angels from Vaikunthas) is a race of saurier-birds (not dragons) who deliberatly quit the love realm of Vaikuntha-dham to enjoy separation from love (how this is possible, only the rebells can answer this, Krishna and Radhe neither know). Many aspects of the known Earthly Vedic siddhantic conclusions that there is more than one material universe, that souls eternally exist that are non nitya-siddha jivas, that the material universe is eternally created and destroyed, that multiple Brahmas exist, that positions of demi-gods can be exchanged,that diksha-guru is mandatory etc. are wrong. Those concepts were deliberately propagated by the Vaishnava line with the purpose to dissolve negative energies caused by the rebells. The time quality given us ourdays has its power to finally bring light to basic topics of mis-understanding. In love, Frodo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
