Re: Nityananda is GOD.


Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!
Dandavats and obeissances.

I was thinking how humorous it is that people who possess exceptional talents or powers are sometimes labeled as God by unintelligent people of the world. Such people are deified and idolized because they possess some �extraordinary� talent. Probably the funniest part is that these people due to false ego do in some way think of themselves as God, the doer, the supreme controller. There is a lot of this in this age of Kali. Just think how insignificant we are compared to the Lord? It is unfathomable.

One who is not a devotee of the Lord is more than likely going to have the mentality of the hogs, dogs, camels, asses and other animals as explained in the Bhagavatam. One justs gets whipped around by maya and due to false ego thinks oneself the doer or controlloer. The modes of material nature makes one mad and stupid, we can�t see things as they really are. Only by becoming a devotee of Nitai-Gaura can we escape the grasp of maya and see things as they are.

People just have no idea how Great God is. One says �God is great.� But they cannot even begin to fathom the Lord�s greatness. They just see this one insignificant material universe, not knowing that the Lord creates zillions of such universes with no effort whatsoever, only a glance. The Lords creates these huge creations easier than we can walk and he is not the least bit affected, he doesn�t have to plan or make elaborate engineering drafts. By his potencies everything is magically being maintained also, again without the slightest effort on his part. He just has to will or think and it is done automatically and everywhere.

Sometimes everything seems too amazing to me, when I keep thinking deeper and deeper, I just get stunned thinking about the magnificence and reality of the Lord. When I was a young child I had a thought that I frequently dwelled upon. What if there was no God and nothing ever was created? What if nothing existed and never would? Only blackness, void, forever. No life or anything anywhere ever. I always used to think about this and my mind would go deeper, it was a very discomforting feeling. What if I was never created in the first place? I would dwell on these things very deeply even at the age of 4 and 5 years old. I was mesmerized by existence itself. I was always so grateful that God had created me and I think that is something that we can never repay to the Lord.

Of course we naturally want to trace to origin of God with our mind also. Just how did He come about? One�s mind can go on and on forever so of course so we just accept the statements of the Vedic literature about God that he has eternally existed, etc. etc.

Hopefully someday people will make an effort to understand the Lord through this process of  Nitaai Yoga as this is the highest easiest process, and can satisfy all one�s queries forever.

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna
