Re: Regarding chanting of nitai-gaura

Dear Karthik,

Nityananda ! Gauranga ! Hare Krishna !

Jaya Gurudev ! Jaya Guruparampara !

It is very important to take initiation from a pure devotee and one must make this a serious goal of his life. After one is sure about his commitment in chanting minimum daily rounds he should think about getting initiated.

After initiation our prayers are offered to the Lord by our guru thus it is very easily accepted and it guarantees progress. The guru puts the seed of devotion in the disciples heart and the disciple waters it regularly by chanting thus helping the plant to grow.

People argue that Arjuna had Krishna the God to guide him and not spiritual master.However that is not true, Arjuna had Krishna the spiritual master to guide him. As God Krishna shared the relationship of friendship with Arjuna. In the beginning Arjuna talked with Him as God i.e in the rasa of friendship. However Krishna was only hearing him but did not guide him. Finally Arjuna submitted himself to Krishna as a disciple and then Krishna took the role of a spiritual master and spoke the Bhagavad Gita.

So pls take initiation very seriously as it will guarantee your way back home.

Sincerely,
Mihir.
