Re: The Mercy of Nityaananda Gauraanga Naama
Bhaktar
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna!
Please accept my humble pranaam..
Thank you for your story, it is good to hear and every word is beautiful. I myself experienced the same thing about chanting; the Mahamantra by itself without the mantrarajas Nityananda and Gauranga is not very much, especially to such a fallen individual like myself. Swamiji has revealed to us something that is already there in so many writings but most people do not see it or take heed. Gaurakrishna is a confidential avataar who is not recognized by all Vaishnavas. Similarly, not all people who recognize Him as who He is, will take up chanting the mantrarajas even though they are written down in the books they own. His best Devotees not only recognize Him but they also chant His sweet and holy naam when they hear or read about it. All of us fall at some time or make mistakes... and I think that no matter what happens, we will never completely discard the chanting of Gauranaam, especially since it is His mercy and grace that we heard about the naam sometime.
The reply in this thread from Damodara Svarupa Dasa is nectar. Nityananda Balaraam's lotus feet is the only shelter. I am very insignificant and the lowest of the low, but I do ask you to please reflect on this truth about Nityananda. Do not discard this nectar, there is nothing sweeter than to know who Nityananda is and to surrender to His lotus feet.
Jaya Nityananda! Jaya Nityananda! Jaya Nityananda!
Please keep and relish this treasure of the mantras you have.
Your servant, and aspiring devotee of Nitaai.
