Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructions to Raghunatha dasa

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu instructions to Raghunatha dasa in a simple way but if we look and analyze these instruction we will find everything is there to keep us safe in Sri Krsna Chaitanya Nityananda consciousness.
Let look at the first instruction don�t talk like villagers; no street talking, don�t even hear what they have to say even though it may be juicy nectar for your ears.
Don�t waste your time with newspapers, TV, radio, or mundane books unless instructed by Sri Gurudev.
Don�t eat palatable foods unless its prasadam, and don�t dress it the latest fashions unless Sri Gurudev said you can.
Don�t seek honour or admiration; be ready to give all respects to others. Always chant the maha mantra and the names of nitai gauranga at every moment even while sleeping.

Antya 6.236
gramya-katha na sunibe, gramya-varta na kahibe bhala na khaibe ara bhala na paribe
TRANSLATION
�Do not talk like people in general or hear what they say. You should not eat very palatable food, nor should you dress very nicely.
Antya 6.237
amani manada hana krishna-nama sada la�be vraje radha-krishna-seva manase karibe
TRANSLATION

Antya 6.239
trinad api su-nicena taror iva sahishnuna
amanina mana-dena kirtaniyah sada harih�
TRANSLATION

Antya 6.240
eta suni� raghunatha vandila carana mahaprabhu kaila tanre kripa-alingana
TRANSLATION
Having heard this, Raghunatha dasa offered prayers at the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and the Lord, out of great mercy, embraced him.
Antya 6.241
punah samarpila tanre svarupera sthane �antaranga-seva� kare svarupera sane

Swami Gaurangapadas Biographie und Pranama Mantra (3)

 

Auf diese Weise nahm Swami Gaurangapad spontan und mühelos Nityananda und Gauranga als höchste Persönlichkeiten Gottes an. Er ergab sich vollständig Ihren Lotusfüssen und beschloss sich ganz der höchsten Mission der weltweiten Verbreitung Ihrer heiligen Namen und Spiele zu widmen. Dies ist die Folge vom Lesen des Caitanya Caritamritas, Caitanya Bhagavatas und Sri Navadvipa Dhama Mahatmyas.

Nach Abschluss seines fünfjährigen Studiums trat er der Internationalen Gesellschaft für Krischna-Bewusstsein bei, welche von Srila Prabhupada gegründet worden ist, und er diente von Anfang an als Brahmacari Leiter in der Buchverteilung. Er war hervorragend in diesem Dienst. Seine Bestleistungen waren, als er zum Beispiel in einer Woche 600 Gujarati Caitanya Caritamrita Sets (je 12 Bände) verteilte und ein anderes Mal 3500 Bhagavat Gitas auf Marathi in einem Tag in Pandharpur. Er war jahrelang der zweitbeste Set-Verteiler weltweit.

Später wurde er damit beauftragt, Srila Prabhupadas Bücher als Produktions-Manager des Bhaktivedanta Book Trusts (BBT) zu gestalten, zu veröffentlichen und zu vermarkten. Der BBT ist der grösste Verlag für vedische Literatur in der Welt. In dieser Funktion diente er während mehr als fünf Jahren. Dank seines unermüdlichen und ernsthaften Einsatzes verdreifachte sich die Produktion der vedischen Bücher beinahe innerhalb von drei Jahren, und BBT India wurde zum weltweit grössten Verlag für vedische Literatur, sowohl in Englisch und auch in anderen Sprachen.

In der Zwischenzeit studierte er die Lehren und Schriften Srila Prabhupadas und danach diejenigen der vorangegangenen Acharyas, der Gefährten von Gauranga Mahaprabhu. Er ist weithin als schlagfertiger Redner bei Vorträgen in Englisch, Hindi und Gujarati über die Wissenschaft und Philosophie des Gauranga Krischna Bewusstseins anerkannt. Auch war er einer der beliebtesten Redner der Aatma Serie im Sony Fernsehen, welche auf der ganzen Welt ausgestrahlt wurde.

Er hat sehr tief über Srila Prabhupadas Anweisung meditiert, den Lebensstand der Entsagung (sannyas) anzunehmen, um das Gaura Krischna-Bewusstsein überall zu predigen. Durch die gütige und sehr barmherzige Arrangierung Nityanandas und die Segnung und Empfehlung seines Gurus Srila Bhaktishastri Parampada Maharaja (1902-2004, Gottbruder von Srila Prabhupada und direkter Schüler von Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saravati Thakura Prabhupada)nahm er den Lebensstand der Entsagung (sannyas) von Srila Tridandi Swami Bhakti Kumud Santa Goswami Maharaja an. Dieser wiederum ist selbst schon seit mehr als 80 Jahren im Lebensstand der Entsagung und ein Gottbruder seines Gurus und von Srila Prabhupada und der Schüler von Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saravati Thakura Prabhupada. Er bekam den Namen Tridandi Bhikshu Bhaktiratna Sadhu, und wird kurz Swami Gaurangapad genannt.

Imli Tala in Vrindavana Video

This is one of my favorite pastime places where Lord Krishna turned golden in separation from Shrimati Radha 5000 years ago and Lord Gauranga turned blackish blue in separation from Lord Krishna 500 years ago.

Vrinda Kunda in Nandagram Video

This Vrinda Kunda is the most beautiful headquarters of Shrimati Vrindadevi where she herself prepares for her services to Shri Shri Radha Krishna since Nandagram is the center of all the eight-fold eternal pastimes of Shri Shri Radha Krishna. She instructs a parrot disciple who sits on her hand and who has 100,000 other parrot disciples all over Vraja in order to inform the Gopies of the imminent pastimes of Shri Shri Radha Krishna.

Vrindadevi in Kamyavana Video

The most beautiful Deity of Vrindadevi is Kamyavan who stopped there and did not Vraja. She is eternally present there. One can never over-emphasize the services of Shrimati Vrindadevi in Vraja as she is the principal leader, facilitator and organizer of all the pastimes of Shri Shri Radha Krishna and without her mercy no one can ever see or enter into those pastimes.

Re: bhaktatommy's blog

Firm, ceaseless, and unshakable love of God which surpasses every other form of affection or attachment, and which is based on and inspired by a full knowledge of His transcendent majesty, is called bhakti; by that alone does one attain liberation-by no other means.

(Sripada Madhvacarya)

Re: bhaktatommy's blog

For the soul there is neither birth nor death at any time. He has not come into being, does not come into being, and will not come into being. He is unborn, eternal, ever-existing, and primeval. He is not slain when the body is slain.

(Lord Sri Krsna - Bhagavad-gita 2.20)
