Gaura-shakti-svarupaya

Dear Swami Gaurangapada Maharaja,

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Please accept my most humble obeisances.

Upon reading and meditation on the pranaama mantra of Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura:

namo bhaktivinodaya sac-cid-ananda-namine

gaura-shakti-svarupaya rupanuga-varaya te

I offer pranama unto Saccidananda Shri Bhaktivinoda Thakura, who is the foremost of rupanugas and the embodiment (prakasha) of Shri Gauranga Mahaprabhu’s shakti,Gadadhara Pandita.

i wonder what the meaning is of "gaura-shakti-svarupaya" - embodiment (prakasha) of Lord Gauranga, Gadadhara Pandita... What is the special significance in connection to our sampradaya? We have already touched this point in one other post, but still i would like to know how the practical manifestation of this prakaasha can be perceived and appreciated by a practicing vaishnava.

Thank You very much

Matus
