Re: Question from Ignorance

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krsna!

Dear Gurudeva, Srinath and devotees please accept my humble obiesances.

I am fairly ignorant about culture and great souls throughout the history of India. But, I do recall (last year) through internet association hearing from one devotee who adored these Alwars, he was a Sri Vaisnava if I recall correctly. He shared little stories with me last year about them when I showed respect and interest to learn. His devotion was wonderful. Great souls indeed are the Alwars and those who express devotion toward them.

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.

Re: gardening

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krsna!

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

Two days ago Tulsi Devi seed sprouted in my sacred garden. I planted 4 seeds and only one has taken. One is wonderful!

She is so tiny and delicate, the tiniest of tiny two leaves have appeared above the soil mix. I have never seen her before in this form, beautiful! So I will let her live inside and in the greenhouse depending on the weather conditions, and what the heart feels is right.

Patience, care, and love may be the tools needed. I was contemplating in the last days about 'respect'. Respect is my personal meditation and cultivation at this stage in my life. Each of us has a tiny sprout of love of God in the heart. Each humans spiritual life and growth is the softest and tenderest of all things in creation. The nature of bhakti. And allowing space, sensing others spiritual needs...and never trampling even the most fallen, must be the highest priority in spiritual existence. Unfortunately I fail everyday...

If we have spiritual eyes all these things will become manifest to the heart (in the substance of consciousness), and by God's grace (and suffiency) we will be guided how to live in the 'kingdom of God'. Vaikuntha here and now...not out there, not somewhere else, but within the heart. A sea of living consciousness, full of diversity and divine personalities.

I feel this gift of life as a human being is the manifold kindness and greatest gift of God. Rather than the field of sense gratification, earth can be the field of true cultivation. And the body can be perfected for eternal life. Back home, back to Godhead! Jaya Srila Prabhupada!!

aspiring...Nava.

2. Die höchste Herrlichkeit der Namen Nityananda und Gauranga (2)

(2) CAITANYA MANGALA: GAURANGA WIRD IN GOLOKA VON ALLEN SEINEN EWIGEN GEF�HRTEN DURCH DAS CHANTEN DES GAURANGA MANTRARAJAS VEREHRT

Das viersilbige Gauranga Mantra wird in Goloka Vrindavana von allen ewigen Gef�hrten des Herrn zur direkten Verehrung von Gauranga gechantet:

Im Sri Caitanya-mangala Suta-khanda Vers 527 von Srila  Locana Dasa Thakura wird das viersilbige Gaurana-Mantra als das Mantra beschrieben, mit welchem der Herr in Goloka Vrindavana, dem h�chsten Vaikuntha Planeten in der spirituellen Welt, verehrt wird:

hema-gaura kalevara, mantra chari-akshara;
sahaja vaikuntha-natha shyama.

�Der Herr sitzt auf einem goldenen, juwelenbesetzten Thron. Er hat eine Hautfarbe, welche millionenfach gl�nzender ist als geschmolzenes Gold. Er wird von allen seinen Geweihten mit dem viersilbigen Mantraraja �Gauranga� verehrt.�

Kommentar von BR Sadhu Swami Gaurangapada:

Es muss ein bestimmtes Mantra geben, mit welchem die ewigen Bewohner von Sri Navadvipa Dhama in Goloka Vrindavana die vereinte Inkarnation von Radha-Krischna, Gauranga, verehren. Genauso wie es spezielle Mantras f�r die verschiedenen Formen des Herrn wie Rama, Nrisingha, Kurma, Varaha u.s.w. gibt, so muss es eines zur Verherrlichung des goldenen Herrn Gauranga geben, welcher der Ursprung aller Inkarnationen ist. Und dieses Mantra ist im Sri Chaitanya-Mangala beschrieben als das h�chste viersilbige Mantra: das Gauranga Mantraraja.
