2. Die höchste Herrlichkeit der Namen Nityananda und Gauranga(19)
(19) WER NITYANANDA UND GAURANGA CHANTET WIRD VON KRISCHNA-PREMA (LIEBE ZU GOTT) ERF�LLT. MAN ERLANGT KRISCHNA-PREMA SOGAR MIT VERGEHEN IM HERZEN UND DIE ZEHN VERGEHEN WERDEN WEGGEHEN. WAS F�R EIN EINFACHER WEG, LIEBE ZU GOTT ZU ERHALTEN!
nitai-Chaitanya bali yei jiva dake;
suvimala krsna-prema anvesaye thake.
�Wenn jemand die Namen von Nityananda und Gauranga chantet, wird er von der reinsten Gottesliebe (Krischna-Prema) aufgesucht.�
aparadha badha tara kichu nahi kare;
nirmala krsna-preme tara ankhi jhare.
�Die Vergehen (welche noch im Herzen sein k�nnten) stellen kein Hinderniss dar, diese Liebe zu empfangen, und aus reiner ekstatischer Liebe beginnen Tr�nen zu fliessen, nur durch das Chanten von Nityananda und Gauranga.�
svalpa kale aparadha apani palaya;
hrdaya sodhita haya prema bade taya.
�In k�rzester Zeit werden die Vergehen weggehen, und das Herz wird vollst�ndig gereinigt, und so wird die Liebe noch zunehmen.�
Kommentar von BR Sadhu Swami Gaurangapada:
Das ist der Unterschied f�r die bedingten Seelen. Wenn man nur das Hare Krischna Mahamantra chantet, trachtet man nach reiner Liebe zu Krischna, und unsere Bem�hungen werden von unseren Vergehen zunichte gemacht. Aber auf wundersame Weise beginnt die reine Liebe uns beim Chanten der Nityananda- und Gauranga-Mantrarajas zusammen mit dem Mahamantra zu suchen, und findet uns sogar wenn wir gar nicht qualifiziert sein sollten, oder noch voller Vergehen sind.
Stell dir vor, wir chanten auf der einen Seite eines unbegrenzt hohen und riesigen Berges (welcher die Vergehen, die Anarthas und Unwissenheit in unseren Herzen von Millionen von Leben simbolisiert). Und auf der anderen Seite dieses Berges befindet sich die ultimative Frucht der reinen Gottesliebe. Wir m�gen sie uns w�nschen, aber wir k�nnen diesen Berg unserer Vergehen nicht sofort durch das alleinige Chanten des Hare Krischna Mahamantras �berqueren. Die vom Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura empfohlene Methode ist, die heiligen Namen von Nityananda uns Gauranga oft und regelm�ssig mit viel Gef�hl und grosser Hingabe zu chanten, und so wird diese Gottesliebe auf der anderen Seite des Berges uns aufsuchen, und in unsere K�rper eindringen, sogar wenn wir zu diesem Zeitpunkt noch voller Vergehen sind. Dann werden wir in den Ozean der Gl�ckseligkeit eingetaucht, und die Vergehen werden von unserem Herzen fliehen, was die Liebe noch zus�tzlich verst�rken wird.
Also wird nur eine dumme Person auf der Suche nach reiner Liebe zu Gauranga-Krischna das Chanten der Nityananda- und Gauranga-Mantrarajas vermeiden. Sogar ein Kind wird verstehen, dass wenn man nur das Hare Krischna Mahamantra chantet, man vergebens nach dieser Liebe sucht, ausser man kann die zehn Vergehen effektiv vermeiden. Aber durch das Chanten der Nityananda- und Gauranga- Mantrarajas zusammen mit dem Hare Krischna Mahamantra wird diese Liebe uns aufsuchen. Dies ist sicherlich der einfachste Weg.

Re: Absorption in Gauranga Krishna Consciousness
Dear Vaisnavas,
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! My pranams to both of you!
Each of us take up the path of bhakti with our own unique problems. But as Srila Bhaktivinode Thakura says, Nityananda Gauranga are so merciful that they bring in love of Godhead and all spiritual qualifications in spite of all the impurities in the heart. And then in a very short time, the offenses and anarthas will flee! Hadai Nityananda Dasa prabhu, Swamiji and all the devotees chanting Nitai Gaura naam are all living examples of this.
This is truly amazing to read and far more astonishing to experience it, but we can practically see that despite where we are, our chanting of Nityananda Gauranga never goes in vain. With every name the Lord steps in ever closer and closer toward us, sometimes revealing how close He is despite a million and one goof ups on our part.
This mercy is totally off the scales and has broken all records as actually we are completely unfit to get such spiritual promotion in our fallen, fallen position. Will we ever get such a chance again? So there's no way any soul can afford to sleep through this very valuable time. We have to grab this opportunity, now!
Other than Nityananda Gauranga, there is no way, no other way, by which one can progress in bhakti in spite of everything that can be there in the way.
Amazed by their causeless mercy,
Srinath

Re: Absorption in Gauranga Krishna Consciousness
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krsna!
Haribol Bhushan, thx for your post! I have found the same thing or very similar in my mind structure at various points in my life - take heart. The most wonderful thing I have discovered as time goes on is that, yes shadow remains, but something much more profound and beautiful grows underneath all that mind stuff. And I truly believe mate, that spiritual substance by its very nature will manifest in due course - through the process of humility. And cultivation of that may now be a lifetime practice! And Vaikuntha will come...
We are really fortunate hey! - to meet people like Swami Gaurangapada in our lives, who see who we really are. Over the course of our lives we may meet several peoples like him, and we will never forget them. They lift and encourage all they meet, infact they lift the whole environment.
God bless you Bhushan Nityananda dasa.
aspiring...Nava.

Absorption in Gauranga Krishna Consciousness
Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna
my humble obeisances to all readers.
I have been reading this forum for quite some time, and a post by HG Hadai Nityananda Prabhu�s experience of chanting Nityananda Gauranga Naam really captured my heart.
I would like to share something which a topic which is dear to my heart and which I am trying to practice in my own spiritual life. I learnt this by hearing lectures of a very advanced Vaishnava.
The mind is one of the most formidable enemies of a conditioned soul especially mine. It is like a big lake full of past samskaras and vasanas or strong impressions and most of them are not so good. When I look at myself I can see many of them. I would like to share a small story about myself.
Before I came to Krishna Conscious I had a very negative tendency of wickedness. I used to get tremendous joy when I used to see others suffering and many times I purposely troubled others to obtain much happiness. After I came to KC, things began to change, such tendencies reduced and I thought they disappeared.
I currently live in the house of Grihastha devotees and they a very sweet son, once their son was crying and suddenly as I heard it the same wicked joy came over me, I started thinking what is this, I am supposed to be a devotee who is compassionate, this behavior dosent suit me. I suddenly remembered how deep rooted these sanskaras are.
How will they go, scriptures say that its is not in my power to root them out, no they run too deep, not possible, but yes Lord Nityananda can root them out, by His mercy material life can be completely rooted out.
It is therefore very important to absorb the mind in thoughts of Lord Gauranga Krishna, to search for Lord Gauranga, to call out to Him, to think of Him to look for Him everywhere, to see Him in whatever we do, to be always dependent on Him.
The mind should be pervaded with His sweet holy name and pastimes, yes then He will take them away by His own sweet will.
I have been doing this exercise, about remembering the wonderful qualities of Lord Gauranga Krishna, I write them on a piece of paper and take them out and read them some times through the day.
In SB 3.28.20 onwards Lord Kapiladeva prescribes how one should meditate and remember Lord Shri Hari, it�s a beautiful meditation. In BG 8.9 Lord Krishna describes how the devotee should remember Him. There is a beautiful book called Gauranga Lila smarana which describes the Ashata Kaliya lila of Lord Gauranga throughout the day.
There are so many Vaishnava literatures to absorb the mind. I recollect in one of the videos Swami Gaurangapada said, �Pure chanting comes from pure hearing�. That�s a profound quote.
Most of my life is spent in sleep, when I am awake I am distracted, even when I am chanting I am distracted, its very important that I don�t cheat myself of this wonderful opportunity of KC. Statsistics show we have on an average 85,000 thoughts in a day, I have to really ask myself how many of these thoughts are on something connected with Krishna. Most of my thoughts are simply waste, let me instead take shelter of these wonderful vaishnava literatures and lectures and most importantly holy names Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna MM to absorb my mind in Krishna.
Thank you for tolerating me.
Your servant
Bhushan
