thoughts on nitaai-gaura naam

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krsna!

Dear Swami Gaurangapada and assembled devotees, please accept my (fallen) obiesances.

Sitting chanting today in a sacred space. Really fortunate to have been given two holy names. It is five years ago this week that I heard Srila Gaurangapada chant those names in my ear.

In eager pride I asked Guru, what can I do to serve you, he replied 'tell everyone you meet about Nityananda/Gauranga Naam'.

The name is a Person. The initiation is a connection to that Person. And the relationship is for eternity...even with stumble and fall that Person will quietly wait for us to call again, 'Nityananda Gauranga'.

Great souls have walked this earth, and some of those souls are the Divine Person. If we have been given connection to that Person, we will learn the way of love - I am certain of that..

It is a soul thing, and that is unchanging. Please forgive my shortcomings and lack of understanding. Happy Gaura-Purnima - the birth of truth in the heart.

Nava.
