....The era of Chanting (Kaliyug) - bhAvagrAhI janArdanaH

[Guest guest]

Namaste all.

 

mUrkho vadati viSNAya dhIro vadati viSNave

ubhayostu zubhaM puNyaM bhAvagrAhI janArdanaH

 

The Lord neither pays attention to the expert ways of calling Him

nor to the grammar mistakes in addressing Him.

May all folks be blessed because the Lord is only concerned

with their deep devotional feelings.

Sri Caitanya Sikhashtakam - 6

 

" My dear Lord, when will my eyes be flooded with tears that constantly

glide down as I remember Your Holy Name?

 

When will my voice falter and all the hair on my body stand erect in

transcendaental thrill as I sing Your Divine Names ? "

 

yugAyitaM nimeSeNa caKSuSa prAvRSAyitam

zUnyAyitaM jagat sarvaM govinda! viraheNa me

 

Sri Caitanya Sikhashtakam - 7

 

" O my Govinda! In Your separation, I feel even a moment as a great,

unbearable millennium.

Incessant tears flow from my eyes like torrents of rain and I see the

entire world as void and useless for me! "

 

" In my restless anxiety, a day never ends, for every moment seems like

unending milennium.

Pouring out streams of tears, my eyes are like clouds in the rainy

monsoon season. "

 

" Bereft of Your Association, O my Govinda,

the three worlds have become VOID to me.

I feel as if I were burning alive in a slow fire. "

 

- Sri Caitanya Caritamritam, Antyalila

bhaava sahita khojai jo praani

paava bhakati mani saba sukha khaani

 

more mana prabhu asa visvasaa

rama te adhika rama karadasaa

 

Any living being who searches

with sincere yearning heart

finds the jewel of Divine Love,

in itself a mine of every blessing.

 

I have in my heart this firm conviction,

my Lord, that pure devotee of Lord Rama

is even greater than Rama Himself....

 

(Tulasi's 'Rama Carita Manas')

 

 

Jaya Sri radhey!
