Re: Nitai-Gauranga's mercy easily obtainable or not?


Humble challenge: Once the initial mercy obtained one can continue with Harinaam bhajan and cultivate the desire for the ultimate mercy that way. Why to continue practicing Nityananda Gauranga Naam Bhajan?

Thank you for this challenge Matus. It is a nice subject for discussion. I agree with Igor. Naama Bhakti Yoga is not like the process of Gyaana Yoga or Hatha Yoga in which the means and the end are different (they give up the ladder once they reach the top). Bhakti Yoga is a path of gratefulness. How can we think of giving up Nityaananda Gauraanga Naama which enabled us to attain our goal of Gaura Krishna Prema? Besides chanting Nityaananda Gauraanga Naama with realization and love is our eternal goal not just the means to attain the goal. When we attain two spiritual bodies in Gaura and Krishna lilas, then we do Bhajana of both the Nityaananda Gauraanga Naama and Hare Krishna Naama simultaneously in our eternal spiritual bodies. Thus Nityaananda Gauraanga Naama Bhajana is the eternal Bhajana of our (Gaura Bhaktas') soul not just a ladder to attain Radha Krishna Prema.Nityaananda Gauraanga Naama is our only hope to attain Prema quickly even while in the offensive stage and if we give up Nityaananda Gauraanga Naama after attaining Prema, it will be the greatest ungratefulness we show to the most merciful Lords Nitaai Gaura, without Whom we would have never attained our destination.

Daaso'smi, Swami Gaurangapada.
