Re: Sannyasa addressed to Nityananda Prabhu and Haridasa

 

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!

ear Guruji, Srinath and devotees, please accept my humble obeisances.

 

Lord Nityananda and Haridasa Thakura Prabhu are above any of the designations of the conditioned souls. Their pastimes within this material world are beyond comprehension. Lord Nityananda Who is the first expansion of Lord Gauranga Krishna, Who is the servitor Lord of Lord Gauranga Krishna, Who is the Guru of all gurus, is naturally above all conditioned specifications. Since sannyasi is the highest spiritual position within the varnasrama system it is the least of titles we can give the Lord Himself although we have to remind ourselves that He is transcendent to the whole system itself. Most students have to climb the university ladder to attain a doctor degree. However some highly self-educated people are honored with a doctor degree by the university because of their extra-ordinary contribution in science or religion. So although they didn’t attain their doctor degree via the traditional ladder they receive the same recognition. To give Lord Nityananda His honorable doctor degree of sannyasi is an understatement to His position. However what else can we honor Him with within the system of varnasrama? It is the highest degree we can give Him. The same is for His pure devotees: they are beyond any social designation but when we want to decorate them with anything from within the system it should be nothing less than the highest.

 

Your servant,

 

Hadai Nityananda dasa

 

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!
