Gaura

and Guaranga?

[gHari 0]

The four-syllable Gaura Mantra is Gau-ra-an-ga as noted in SrI Caitanya-caritAmRta Antya-lIlA 2.31:<blockquote>‘gaura-gopAla mantra' tomAra cAri akSara

avizvAsa chADa, yei kariyAcha antara"

 

SYNONYMS

gaura-gopAla mantra--the Gaura-gopAla mantra; tomAra--your; cAri akSara--composed of four syllables; avizvAsa chADa--give up your doubts; yei--which; kariyAcha antara--you have kept within your mind.

 

TRANSLATION

"You are chanting the Gaura-gopAla mantra, composed of four syllables. Now please give up the doubts that have resided within you."

 

PURPORT

SrIla Bhaktivinoda ThIkura explains the Gaura-gopAla mantra in his AmRta-pravAha-bhASya. Worshipers of SrI Gaurasundara accept the four syllables gau-ra-aG-ga as the Gaura mantra, but pure worshipers of RAdhA and KRSNa accept the four syllables rA-dhA kRS-Na as the Gaura-gopAla mantra. However, VaiSNavas consider SrI Caitanya MahAprabhu nondifferent from RAdhA-KRSNa (zrI-kRSNa-caitanya rAdhA-kRSNa nahe anya). Therefore one who chants the mantra "gaurAGga" and one who chants the names of RAdhA and KRSNa are on the same level.

Hare Krsna,

 

A simple meaning would be Gaura (Lord Chaitanya) Hari (Personality of Godhead) Bol (chant the names)

 

or to me it would be.....

 

Respectfull obeisances to Lord Chaitanya Chant the Holy Names!Chant the Holy Names!Chant the Holy Names!

 

 

Gaura Hari Bol!Gaura Hari Bol! Gaura Hari Bol!
