How the Hare Krsna movement is spread

Rate this topic

Recommended Posts

Who are the so-called historians that have written Sri Caitanya OUT of 16th century South India?

Anyway, who is to say than any so-called historians in South India would have have been privy to the grassroots cult of Mahaprabhu that was said to have spread privately from one person to another and that thousands of people were brought in to the Sankirtan movement of Mahaprabhu?

 

 

The book of Krishnadas clearly says that the movement spread from one person to another and many families accepted the Sankirtan process of Mahaprabhu.

 

Mahaprabhu spent a few days in South India and started a movement that spread from one person to another.

There were no big missions or Mathas or political aspects to Mahaprabhu's movement in South India.

 

Any so-called historians around at that time could easily have missed the this spiritual movement, or felt it unworthy of historical verification.

 

the movement was surely repressed and discouraged by the leaders of the indigenous Sri Vaishnava culture of that region.

 

It probably didn't last too long under the pressures of the indigenous religious culture.

There are many famous and great temples in South India. Sri Krsna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said that God has hundreds and millions of names. Main thing is to chant these names and glorify Him, according to Mahaprabhu.

 

South Indian Hindu culture is very vibrant and alive. Many great acharyas from that region. Many great temples. Many great devotees and sants. Perhaps others do not know of them because they are different lineage.

 

Perhaps Mahaprabhu gave special blessings, infusion of bhakti to permeate

certain areas. Because certain parts of South India did not get so heavy the Muslim desecration and destruction of the temples, nor so heavy the British influence. Perhaps that is what the author was trying to say, South India received some special blessings.

 

Like its amazing but some of the very biggest Hindu temples in USA and around the world today were started from either advice or actual Ganesha Deity given to them from an acharya with a South Indian lineage. Very amazing you trace back the roots of where the seed for these temples originated from: South India.

 

And the Tirukkural was written in South India and is accepted by Vaisnavas, Shaivites, Jains, and Buddhists as their own tradition, how great it is with advice for living ethically in this world following non-sectarian Sanatana Dharma principles. Dr Albert Schweitzer and Gandhi praised Tirukkural. It is sworn on in court of law in Tamil Nadu. Also the government of Tamil Nadu has gifted Deities to temples all around the world and in USA.

 

So has a very special infusion of bhakti there. That is what Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu came to share: the rapture and bliss of devotion. Perhaps Chaitanya Mahaprabhu feel their special mood there and gave blessings that these beautiful and sacred things radiate out to the world from there, blessings to humanity from a loving God who has hundreds and thousands of names, qualities, forms, and pastimes.
