Appearance Day of Lord Nityananda

[dasa 0]

Today is the appearance day of Nityananda Prabhu, the incarnation of Lord Balarama who appeared in Ekacakragrama (West Bengal) in 1474. He is the principle associate of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, just as Balarama is the first bodily expansion of Lord Krsna. Lord Nityananda and Lord Balarama are both one and the same identity, different only in form. All glories to Lord Nityananda.

Winter Moon c 1995-mahaksadasa

 

The winds from the North bring another storm.

Be another month before the season starts to warm.

Looking to the cold clear full-moon night

Nityananda moon rise coming into sight

Playing hide-and-seek with another winter cloud.

Casting mystic shodows on this earthly shroud

Waking all the sleeping souls floundering along

Reminding us to sing Harinama, sing the holy song.

 

Why You came, I'll never know, You came into my heart.

You raised me from the dead, You give me brand new start.

In my darkest hours, You have always appeared,

Armed to help me battle all my greatest fears.

Harinama fills the air, sacred chanting everywhere,

Children wave their arms like they just don't care.

We can truely live in Vana when we dance with God's Own,

Leave behind all worries because we'll never be alone.

 

Govinda's kingdom come, and we know His will be done,

So we dance and sing His Name all the way til dawn.

The confusion of this world always seems to slip away,

When Sri Harinama is the start of every day.

So I beg of You, O Lord, let me never forget.

I surely know I am deepest in Your debt.

The sound of Your Name rocks me to and fro.

JAYA JAYA NITYANANDA, HARIBOL.

Lord Nityananda's appearance day is February 25th? It's good to know. On the very same day I was given my new seminar topic. So maybe the Lord is so merciful to bless the work I am doing now. Who knows?

Praise Lord Nityananda's appearance anyway!

Dear Sirona, What was your new seminar topic, if I may ask?

[Sirona 1]

It is about the German Constitution. In Germany there are different types of highschools according to a student's performance. My task is to explain what, according to the Constitution, parents can do if their child shall be sent to a "school for the stupid" and they do not want to.

 

By the way, I have been searching on the web about Lord Nityananda and I have found this amazing image:

Unfortunately I do not know its meaning. Could anybody explain it to me, please?
