Sri Sri Gurvastaka

-----------------------

 

By Vaisvanatha Cakravarti Thakura

 

The spiritual master ie receiving benedic-

tion from the ocean of mercy. Just as a

cloud pours water on a forest fire to extin-

guish it, so the spiritual master delivers

the materially afflicted world by putting out

the blazing fire of material existence. I of-

fer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus

feet of such a spiritual master, who is an

ocean of auspicious qualities.

Chanting the holy name, dancing in ecstasy,

singing, and playing musical instruments,

the spiritual master is always gladdened by

by the sankirtana movement of Lord Chaitanya

Mahaprabhu. Because he is relishing the mel-

lows of pure devotion within his mind, some-

times his hair stands on end, he feels qui-

vering in his body, and tears flow from his

eyes like waves. I offer my respectful obei-

sances unto the lotus feet of such a spirit-

ual master.

The spiritual master is always engaged in

the temple worship of Sri Sri Radha&Krishna.

He also engages his disciples in such wors-

hip. They dress the Deities in beautiful

clothes and ornaments, clean Their temple,

and perform other similar worship of the

Lord. I offer my respectful obeisances unto

the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.

The spiritual master is always offering

Krishna four kinds of delicious food. When

the spiritual master sees that the devotees

are satisfied by eating bhagavt-prasada, he

is satisfied. I offer my respectful obeisan-

ces unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual

master.

The spiritual master is always eager to hear

and chant about the unlimited conjugal past-

imes of Radhika and Madhava, and Their quali-

ties, names, and forms. The spiritual master

aspires to relish these at every moment. I

offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus

feet of such a spiritual master.

The spiritual master is very dear, because he is expert in assessing the gopis, who at different times make different tasteful ar-

rangements forr the perfection of Radha and

Krishna`s conjugal loving affairs within the

groves of Vrindavana. I offer my most humble

obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spi-

ritual master.

The spiritual master is to be honored as

much as the Supreme Lord, because he is the most confidential servitor of the Lord. This

is acknowledged is all revealed scriptures

and followed by all authorities. Therefore

I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lo-

tus feet of such a spiritual master, who is

a bonafide representative of the Supreme Per-

sonality of Godhead, Shri Hari Krishna.

By the mercy of the spiritual master one re-

ceives the benediction of Krishna. Without

the grace of the spiritual master, one can

not make any advancement. Therefore, I should

always remember and praise the spiritual mas-

ter. At least three times a day.

 

Hare Krishna!

Hare Krishna-Maha Mantra

----------------------------

 

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna

Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama

Rama Rama Hare Hare

 

According to the ancient Vedic literatu-

res of India, the Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra

is the most powerful prayer that one can

offer to God(Krishna).

Hare refers to the spiritual energy of

the Lord. Krishna means, " one who is all

attractive ", and Rama means " the source

of all pleasure ". By chanting this man-

tra, we are praying to the Supreme Lord

Sri Vasudeva Chaitanya to please engage us

in His devotional service. Thus, chanting

God`s names in the form of the Maha-Mantra

is the best means of uniting ourselves

with Him.

 

Hare Krishna!

Sri Tulasi Kirtan

---------------------

 

namo namaha tulasi krishna preyasi

radha-krishna-seva pabo el abhilasi

je tomara sharana loy, tara vancha

purna hoy kripa kori koro tare

Brndavana-basi

 

mor el abilas, bhilas kunje dio vas

nayane beribo sada jugala-rupa-rashi

el nivedana dharo, sakhir anugata

koro seva adhikara diye koro nija

dasi

 

dina krishna-dase koy, el jena mora

hoy sri-radha-govinda-prema sada

jena bhasi

 

yani kani cha papani

bhrama-hatyadikani cha

tani tani pranashyanti

pradaksinah pade pade

 

By circumambulation of Srimati

Tulasi Devi all the sins that

one may have committed are des-

troyed at every step, even the

sin of killing a brahmana.

 

Hari Krishna!
