Re: Paramatma and Lord"s Form and Pastimes in the heart

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!

Dear Guruji, bhakta Matus prabhu and devotees, please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga.

What a beautiful question bhakta Matus prabhu! I can answer this question only from my own limited understanding however it is saturated with unlimited nectar!

The Paramatma is the all-present expansion of Lord Nityananda, not only in the hearts of the living entities but standing in the center of every single atom. This all-penetrating personal presence of the Lord�s expansion makes every single particle of creation worthy of being the container of His personal presence. Although the Paramatma has many functions, in essence the Paramatma offers His very being as a divine pillow for the tender lotus feet of Lord Sri Gauranga Krishna similar as the breasts of the gopis are offered for the tender lotus feet of Lord Sri Krishna. With His unlimited compassionate nature all Lord Nityananda does is constantly welcoming the Supreme Lord Sri Gauranga Krishna to take seat in the heart of the living entities. The Paramatma is the guru within Who has only one aim: guiding the living entities to the lotus feet of Lord Sri Gauranga Krishna. Lord Nityananda draws Lord Gauranga to the heart of the living entities, and he draws the hearts of the living entities to Lord Gauranga. He is the matchmaker. Therefore He goes from door to door and begs people to chant the holy Name of Lord Gauranga. He knows that if the living entity responds, Lord Gauranga will respond. It happens through Lord Nityananda. He is the container; the holy ground on which it all happens. This is one of Lord Nityananda�s ways of eternally expanding the glories of the Lord. Therefore He has never mouths enough to fully glorify the Lord. Lord Gauranga Krishna�s glories are always ahead, always expanding.

Now when the match is made, when Lord Gauranga is descended in the heart of His pure devotee the Paramatma changes His function. He has no longer the need to function as the magnet between the Lord and the living entity because pure transcendental love is reestablished and is now the eternal pull between the two. But still Lord Nityananda facilitates the environment and contains the pure love between the Lord and His devotee. Now the Paramatma facilitates the paraphernalia for the Lord like the pillow for His tender feet. It�s even more beautiful: When Lord Gauranga Krishna comes, Lord Nityananda is there and the whole spiritual world comes; Navadvipa, Vrindavana, and every-thing and every-being within the holy Dhamas. How can we even understand this nectar? How can we even talk about these topics without falling unconscious? What happens with the light of a candle when the sun rises? What happens with the sunlight when a thousand suns rise? What happens when Lord Gauranga Krishna appears? When Lord Nityananda bows down for the Golden Lord of His heart and soul, all of His expansions bow down, and all of creation bows down. When that Lord Gauranga appears in the heart of His pure devotee the Paramatma falls down at His feet and direct service to His lotus feet has become His transformed function. Filled to the brim with love the devotee assists the Paramatma in His divine service to the lotus feet of Lord Gauranga Krishna tasting a drop of Lord Nityananda�s blessings of ever expanding bliss.

Oh bhakta Matus prabhu, what a nectar you have evoked with your divine question. Thank you so much!

Your servant,

Hadai Nityananda dasa

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!

Nityaananda ! Gauraanga ! Hare Krishna !

Thank you for such aa inpriring quote Bhakta Igor.

I would like to share another inspiring quote by Shrila Prabhupada

Two Lords, Nityananda Prabhu and Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, They have appeared just to reclaim the fallen souls of this age. They are more kind than Krishna. Krishna, He is also very kind. He comes to deliver. But Krishna demands that first of all surrender. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu even does not demand surrender. He is so kind. (voice choking) So take shelter of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and be happy. Thank you very much.

ys,
Mihir.

Paramatma and Lord"s Form and Pastimes in the heart

Dear Swami Gaurangapada Maharaja, Dear Devotees
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! Please accept my humble obeisances.

i would like to ask You the following question:

Pure Devotees of the Lord can witness and see in Their hearts the Beautiful Form and Pastimes of Lord Gauranga Krishna. We also know, that there is the Paramatma or the Supersoul in the heart of every living entity. So my question is, how does the Darshan of the Lord and His Pastimes in the heart relates to the fact, that there is also the Paramatma in our heart? Does it mean, that it is actually the Paramatma, Who is showing us the Pastimes? But we also know, that the Paramatma is "just" an expansion of the Supreme Lord Gauranga Krishna... Is the Paramatma competent of showing the Lords (confidential) Pastimes?

Thank You very much for enlightening me,

Matus

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krsna
Here is wonderful verse about this topic

nityananda-prabhura saba caritra � 'viparita'
kruddha hana lathi mari' kare tara hita
CC Antya 12.33:

"One of Sri Nityananda Prabhu's characteristics is His contradictory nature. When He becomes angry and kicks someone, it is actually for his benefit."

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krsna
All glories to Swami Gaurangapada!

Thank you dear Mihir and Venkat Prabhu das on your kind words. I am praying to someday have your association in Dham, where we may chant together and serve Gurudeva in his mission.That is perfection of life. Please pray for me so that I may have enough strength to realize that in this life time.  Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krsna

Dear Mihir, could you please quote source of this statement about Krsna and Nitaai tattva? I personally did not heard about such statement, so please could you give us exact source so we may discuss further acroding to guru sadhu and sastras.

What is sure is that if jiva become blessed Lord will arrange different situations so that jiva may develop pure devotion. Sometimes such arrangements may look like distress but they are blessings. Let me give example. Nityananda Prabhu is ocean of mercy. But He is in the same time independent. He become angry and throw rice on Sri Advaita Prabhu, He kicked Srilla Sivananda Sena with His lotus feet. Who can understand Lord Nityananda? Only His devotes, by His mercy may understand such pastimes, for others such transcendental activities are great mystery. Srilla Haridasa Thakura had to suffer whipping in 22 market places but he continued to chant the Holy Name of the Lord without interruption! Such are pastimes of Lord and His associates, very mysterious. Only devotees, via Lords mercy may unlock mysteries of such pastimes.

Srilla Sivananda Sena is praying -
CC Antya 12.27: "Today You have accepted me as Your servant and have properly punished me for my offense."
CC Antya 12.28: "My dear Lord, Your chastising me is Your causeless mercy. Who within the three worlds can understand Your real character?
CC Antya 12.33: One of Sri Nityananda Prabhu's characteristics is His contradictory nature. When He becomes angry and kicks someone, it is actually for his benefit. "

There are also examples of Chota Haridasa who took sanyasa from Lord Caitanya Himself.Chota Haridasa looked with lust at a woman. He was at once rejected from the society of Lord Caitanya's personal associates. Previously Lord Balarama killed Romaharshana Suta with blade of grass and many persons were puzzled why He did it? That is independent nature of Lord, including Nitaai tatva as well.

From other side, those who take shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda are always rescued from all sorts of distress. Nitaai pada kamala koti candra susitala. How to understand such so called opposite statements? Only via bhakti, devotion. That is acintya-bheda-abheda philosophy of Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu.

My humble opinion is that Lord Nitaai is extremely merciful and He knows what is best for particular devotee. He is within our hearth and know our most hidden problems. He may purify us on whatever way he wants, that is His sweet will.  If he wants to give us lotus, we will accept it, if he want to club us, we will accept it, just like Srilla Sivananda Sena did.

aslisya va pada-ratam pinastu mam
adarsanan marma-hatam karotu va
yatha tatha va vidadhatu lampato
mat-prana-nathas tu sa eva naparah

"Let  Krishna tightly embrace this servant, who has fallen at His
lotus  feet. Let Him trample Me or break My heart by notbeing visible
to Me. He is a debauchee, after all, and can dowhatever He likes, but
He is still no more other than the worshipable Lord of My heart."

Srilla Prabhupada is telling us about this (Back to Godhead Magazine Octobar 1944)

"Devotee is always fearless because he knows well that nothing can happen without the sanction of Godhead directly or indirectly and as such everything that comes from Him is considered by the devotee as His grace. Even in the most reverse position he (the devotee) stands without any fear and accepts all odds as His blessings in different forms."

Also, Gurudeva recorded wonderful video "How to respond to distress". In this video you may find reason why are we sometimes in stressfully situation. It is mercy of Lord because then we may with whole hearth call out Nityananda, Gauranga, please accept me! This world is empty without You!  Please be merciful toward me.

So please, could you give us exact source of statement about Krsna- tattva and Nitaai - Gaura tattva devotees so that  we may discuss further. Srnvatam sva katham krsnam.

All glories to Swami Gaurangapada,
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krsna
