The ultimate Reality is sat chit ananda vigraha, the Deity of eternal consciousness and bliss. Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is that Deity, Lord Sri Krishna Himself, come into this world again in a golden form. If we carefully study who Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu really is, we cannot but find that He is the ultimate Reality. The highest form of Reality is also the highest form of ecstasy (ananda). The astonishing dancing of Sri Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu (nrtya) arises from the overflowing ocean of transcendental ecstasy that He feels inwardly, and when He chants the Holy Name of Sri Krishna (kirtana) all other souls who hear His chanting - men, women, children, animals, trees, etc. - are touched and moved by waves of that sea of joy. They too begin to dance and sing the Holy Name of Sri Krishna. I sing with joy the unending glories of my Divine Master, Sri Gaurasundar the beautiful, the Golden Volcano of Divine Love. -- Sri Prema Dhama Deva Stotram is a poem of 72 verses, describing the pastimes and philosophy of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The entire poem, illuminated with pictures depicting pastimes of the Lord from His birth to His later activities in Puri, can now be seen online on the web site of the Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Sridhar Sangha, the Australian Mission of Srila B S Govinda Maharaj.

imported_Sanjay 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2005 CHECK THIS OUT AND YOU will see the reality The Bible, the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, are the inspired Word of God without error in the original writings, and complete revelation of His will for the salvation of men, and the divine and final authority for all Christian faith and life. God--There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three Manifestations: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ--Jesus Christ is true God and true man, having been conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He died on the cross, the complete and final sacrifice for our sins according to the Scriptures. Further, He arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven, where, at the right hand of the Majesty on High, He is now our High Priest and Advocate. The Holy Spirit--The ministry of the Holy Spirit is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and during this age, to convict men of sin, regenerate the believing sinner, indwell, guide, instruct, and empower the believer for godly living and service. Man--Man was created in the image of God but fell into sin and is therefore lost, and only through regeneration by the Holy Spirit can salvation and spiritual life be obtained. Salvation--The shed blood of Jesus Christ and His resurrection provide the only ground for justification and salvation for all who believe, and only such as receive Jesus Christ by faith are born of the Holy Spirit and thus become children of God. The Return of Jesus Christ--The personal, premillenial, and imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ is our hope and has a vital bearing on the personal life and service of the believer. Future Events--There will be a bodily resurrection of all the dead; of the believer to everlasting blessedness and joy with the Lord, and of the unbeliever to judgment and everlasting conscious punishment. The Church--The true Church is composed of all such persons, who through saving faith in Jesus Christ, have been regenerated by the Holy Spirit and are united together in the body of Christ of which He is the head. Baptism and Communion--Water baptism by immersion soon after accepting Christ as personal Savior, is a testimony of death to sin and resurrection to a new life and the Lord's Supper is a memorial service setting forth in sacred and symbolic manner the death of the Lord Jesus Christ; all true believers and only believers should share in it.
