Topic:  Date:  2th July 2024 Speaker: HH Lokanath Swami Maharaj Jay Jagannath. jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana-patha-gāmī bhavatu me He is not giving darshans as of now. These are the unfortunate times. We have no seva at this time. This is not good time. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu also didn’t get darshans. He went from Puri to South India. After two years he came back to Puri. King Prataprudra and Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya made their stay in Kashimishra Bhavan which we know by the name of  Gambhira. He had just returned from sankirtan. Bg. 4.8 paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya sambhavāmi yuge yuge Translation To deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I Myself appear, millennium after millennium. Snan yatra ended and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu enthusiastically participated in it and took a lot of pleasure of Snan yatra first time but this is Jagannath’s Nityalila. Doctor recommends no visitors for Lord since he is suffering from fever. When he doesn’t give darshans in Puri then he gives his darshans in Alarnath. It is also a dham and if one has to have darshans then they can have it. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is not able to live without him because he is unable to live without him.  Śikṣāṣṭaka (Text 7) yugāyitaṁ nimeṣeṇa cakṣuṣā prāvṛṣāyitam śūnyāyitaṁ jagat sarvaṁ govinda-viraheṇa me  Translation O Govinda! Feeling Your separation, I am considering a moment to be like twelve years or more. Tears are flowing from my eyes like torrents of rain, and I am feeling all vacant in the world in Your absence. He is having a feeling of separation from the Lord. He says- Where are you? Where are you? Text 39 hā nātha ramaṇa preṣṭha kvāsi kvāsi mahā-bhuja dāsyās te kṛpaṇāyā me sakhe darśaya sannidhim Translation She cried out: O master! My lover! O dearmost, where are You? Where are You? Please, O mighty-armed one, O friend, show Yourself to Me, Your poor servant!  I want to see you. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was enthusiastic for his darshan. This is the quality of Lord. So he goes to Alarnath to have the darshans of the deities of Alaranath, who becomes Jagannath. In Jagannath Puri, there is Jagannath. In South India, the Andalas used to preach Lord. So he used to worship this deities so that’s why this deity was called Alarnath. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the darshan mandap paid his obesiances on the stone outside the darshan mandap and he saw the deities as Jagannath and because of his touch the stone melted. Parama Karuna Pahu Dui Jana- by  Locana Dasa Thakura dekho ore bhāi, tri-bhuvane nāi, emona doyāla dātā paśu pākhī jhure, pāṣāṇa vidare, śuni' jāńra guṇa-gāthā Translation My dear brother, just try and examine this. Within the three worlds there is no one like Lord Caitanya or Lord Nityananda. Their merciful qualities are so great that upon hearing Them even birds and beasts cry and stones melt. Birds and animals bow down and stone melts by hearing about the Supreme Lord so here the Lord himself touched that stone. After paying obeisances but though he stood up but his bodily sign on the stone remained. That stone is still there and it is place to have darshans. I have went many times and Chaitanaya Mahaprabhu’s darshans can be found in that stone. His life size deity was found and this stone was a proof that he visited there and his form was imprinted on the stone. This was a proof and it is shown by that bodily sign. This was due to Bhaav Bhakti of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and he spent his time in Alarnath and when we stayed there, he got this news that a lot of devotees from Bengal came to Puri.  He sent an invite for Rathyatra. From the time he took sannayasa, they had proceeded from Shantipur to Puri. From last two years Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s darshan was pending. In huge numbers visitors came to Puri. Sivananad sen use to take care of this. When Chaitanya Mahaprabhu came to know this he invited everyone and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu thought that  I will also have all the devotees darshans. Then he went back to Puri.  Chaitanya Mahaprabhu asked his personal servant Govind and collected the prasad mala. He asked him to welcome the devotees. It was a grand reception. So many people came and they were welcomed with Kirtan as they entered puri. This is there first time and they did kirtan. When Pratap rudra came to know this, so he went to the roof of his palace and with him Gopinath acharya and Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya was also there. They were aware of it.  So for Pratap Rudra these devotees are new to him. The blue dress one is Nityanand prabhu and that white beard one is Advaita Acharya and behind him is Srinivas Acharya. So they were giving him darshans. And he felt that his life is successful after having their darshans. He said that I have heard and  have seen kirtans at many places, and I have heard many instruments. I have heard this many times but the kirtan which they are doing is different and it is attracting me. I am feeling ecstatic. Something is different in this kirtan, so in his response, Sarvanhauma Bhattacharya says that this is kirtan is called Prem kirtan.  CC Madhya 19.53 namo mahā-vadānyāya kṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya te kṛṣṇāya kṛṣṇa-caitanya- nāmne gaura-tviṣe namaḥ Translation “O most munificent incarnation! You are Kṛṣṇa Himself appearing as Śrī Kṛṣṇa Chaitanya Mahāprabhu. You have assumed the golden color of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, and You are widely distributing pure love of Kṛṣṇa. We offer our respectful obeisances unto You.” So all these devotees are pure and they are the associated of Lord and they take the names of the Lord and they do kirtan all the time and there is no difference between their kirtan and Krishna. This this kirtan is different because this is suddha nam kirtan or this is prem kirtan. This kirtan Chaitanya Mahāprabhu presented 500 years before.  Nadiya Godrume Nityananda Mahajana  by  Bhaktivinoda Thakura (Verse 3) aparadha-sunya ho'ye loho krsna-nam krsna mata, krsna pita, krsna dhana-pran Translation Being careful to remain free of offenses, just take the holy name of Lord Krsna. Krsna is your mother, Krsna is your father, and Krsna is the treasure of your life. CC Madhya 6.254 vairāgya-vidyā-nija-bhakti-yoga- śikṣārtham ekaḥ puruṣaḥ purāṇaḥ śrī-kṛṣṇa-caitanya-śarīra-dhārī kṛpāmbudhir yas tam ahaṁ prapadye Translation “Let me take shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who has descended in the form of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu to teach us real knowledge, His devotional service and detachment from whatever does not foster Kṛṣṇa consciousness. He has descended because He is an ocean of transcendental mercy. Let me surrender unto His lotus feet. Chaitanya Mahāprabhu wanted all of us to learn and encourage others and he appeared in the form Adipurush. Chaitanya Mahāprabhu is sharira dhari and he took up a form and CC Ādi 3.20 āpani karimu bhakta-bhāva aṅgīkāre āpani ācari’ bhakti śikhāimu sabāre Translation “I shall accept the role of a devotee, and I shall teach devotional service by practicing it Myself. ŚB 11.5.32 kṛṣṇa-varṇaṁ tviṣākṛṣṇaṁ sāṅgopāṅgāstra-pārṣadam yajñaiḥ saṅkīrtana-prāyair yajanti hi su-medhasaḥ Translation In the Age of Kali, intelligent persons perform congregational chanting to worship the incarnation of Godhead who constantly sings the names of Kṛṣṇa. Although His complexion is not blackish, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself. He is accompanied by His associates, servants, weapons and confidential companions. So CM came with his associates  sri-krishna-chaitanya prabhu nityananda sri-advaita gadadhara shrivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrinda TRANSLATION I offer my respectful obeisances unto Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Lord Nityananda, Sri Advaita, Gadadhara Pandit, Srivas Thakur, and all the devotees of Lord Caitanya. He made them his associates and this is Gaur Bhakt Vrinda and he established the yuga dharma with this team. And then he presented sankirtan and said: CB Antya-khaṇḍa 4.12 pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma sarvatra pracāra hoibe mora nāma Translation Pṛthivīte means "on the surface of the world." Pṛthivīte. Āche, "there are," yata, "as many." Pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi, "towns," grāma, "villages." Pṛthivīte āche yata nagarādi grāma: "As many towns and villages there are on the surface of the globe," sarvatra pracāra hoibe mora nāma, Lord Caitanya says, "everywhere people will know My name." This is the prediction of Lord Caitanya. Now, after five hundred years have passed, that, I mean to say, opportunity has come. My holyname is preached by me and Srila Prabhupada will preach  in future I will make him my  senapati bhakt and I will instruct him through Bhaktisiddhant Thakur to preach in the whole world and distribute this knowledge. Because of this only we are hearing japa talk, before we did japa and this is kirtan sada hari day today on Ekadashi  and all this is happening because of the plans of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. He becomes a devotee himself. CC Ādi 1.14 pañca-tattvātmakaṁ kṛṣṇaṁ bhakta-rūpa-svarūpakam bhaktāvatāraṁ bhaktākhyaṁ namāmi bhakta-śaktikam Translation I offer my obeisances unto the Supreme Lord, Kṛṣṇa, who is nondifferent from His features as a devotee, devotional incarnation, devotional manifestation, pure devotee and devotional energy. Krishna becomes Panchtattva and he takes the form of a devotee and whatever Krsna asked Arjuna in Bhagavat Gita he is exactly like performing his duties like this. Bg. 18.65 man-manā bhava mad-bhakto mad-yājī māṁ namaskuru mām evaiṣyasi satyaṁ te pratijāne priyo ’si me Translation Always think of Me, become My devotee, worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend. He said to remember him and he becomes a devotee gauranga and he remembers Lord. Become my devotee, Lord becomes a devotee himself Sai gaur Sai krsna Sai Jagannath.  Jaya Jaya Jagganath By Vasudeva Ghosh (1) jaya jaya jagannatha sacira nandana tri-bhubana kare yagra caran a bandana (2) nilacale sankha-cakra-gada-padma-dhara nadiya-nagare danda-kamandalu-kara (3) keha bale purabe rabana badhila golokera bibhaba lila prakasa karila (4) sri-radhara bhaba ebe gora abatara hare krsna nama gaura karila pracara (5) Vasudeva ghosa kahe karo joda hata ye-i gaura se-i krsna se-i jagannatha Translation: 1) Glory, glory to Saci's son, who is Lord Jagannatha Himself! The three worlds bow down before His feet. 2) In Nilacala He is Jagannatha holding a conch, cakra, club, and lotus. In Nadiya's towns He holds a danda and kamandalu. 3) Some wise souls say that in ancient times He killed Ravana. Some say in Gokola He enjoys glorious pastimes. 4) To taste the ecstasy that Radha feels in Her love for Him, He has now incarnated here in the form of Lord Gaura. As Lord Gaura He preaches the chanting of the holy names of the Hare Krsn a mantra. 5) Vasudeva Ghosa says: Folding my hands, I declare: Gauranga is Krsna and He is Jagannatha. Gauranga Mahaprabhu is Krsna himself. Jagannath ki jai. He is Saci mata’s son and he is Gauranga himself. He takes four armed form in Puri and in Nilachal he has shankh and chakra but in Navadwip he becomes a devotee and has danda and kamandalu. He becomes a Sannayasi. As Krsna he had 16108 wives and as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu he married Lakshmi Priya and Visnu Priya and he becomes a devotee. And he goes to Tirth yatra and he goes to Puri , Vrindavan etc. Caitanya-manjusa Ārādhyo bhagavān vrajeśa-tanayas tad-dhāma vṛndāvanam ramya kācid upāsana vraja-vadhū-vargeṇā va kalpitā This he said and he did also. He becomes a devotee and he is Krsna himself. We cannot do what Krishna can do- he lifts goverdhan and he plays rasa lila with lakhs of gopis and he married 16108 times- you cannot imitate him. But this Krsna when he becomes Chaitanya Mahaprabhu that we can imitate and he inspires us to do that. We could relate with Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and he took the form of Narsimha form as well. So it was  long time since his appearance but Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared 500 years before: TEXT 8 paritranaya sadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam dharma-samsthapanarthaya sambhavami yuge yuge TRANSLATION In order to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I advent Myself millennium after millennium. He becomes a devotee and shows us the devotional path. He says that do bhakti like the gopis and Shloka. He took the form and body of Radharani.  CC Ādi 4.55 rādhā kṛṣṇa-praṇaya-vikṛtir hlādinī śaktir asmād ekātmānāv api bhuvi purā deha-bhedaṁ gatau tau caitanyākhyaṁ prakaṭam adhunā tad-dvayaṁ caikyam āptaṁ rādhā-bhāva-dyuti-suvalitaṁ naumi kṛṣṇa-svarūpam Translation “The loving affairs of Śrī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are transcendental manifestations of the Lord’s internal pleasure-giving potency. Although Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa are one in Their identity, They separated Themselves eternally. Now these two transcendental identities have again united, in the form of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya. I bow down to Him, who has manifested Himself with the sentiment and complexion of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī although He is Kṛṣṇa Himself.” ŚB 12.13.18 śrīmad-bhāgavataṁ purāṇam amalaṁ yad vaiṣṇavānāṁ priyaṁ yasmin pāramahaṁsyam ekam amalaṁ jñānaṁ paraṁ gīyate tatra jñāna-virāga-bhakti-sahitaṁ naiṣkarmyam āviskṛtaṁ tac chṛṇvan su-paṭhan vicāraṇa-paro bhaktyā vimucyen naraḥ Translation Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam is the spotless Purāṇa. It is most dear to the Vaiṣṇavas because it describes the pure and supreme knowledge of the paramahaṁsas. This Bhāgavatam reveals the means for becoming free from all material work, together with the processes of transcendental knowledge, renunciation and devotion. Anyone who seriously tries to understand Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, who properly hears and chants it with devotion, becomes completely liberated. And said to read this Srimad Bhagavatam and hear this. He did a lot of sravana kirtan and this is Krishna karnamrita and he used to listen to these day and night. To develop faith we have to read Srimad Bhagavatam. So from Gadadhar pandit he hears those pastimes. ŚB 1.2.18 naṣṭa-prāyeṣv abhadreṣu nityaṁ bhāgavata-sevayā bhagavaty uttama-śloke bhaktir bhavati naiṣṭhikī Translation By regular attendance in classes on the Bhāgavatam and by rendering of service to the pure devotee, all that is troublesome to the heart is almost completely destroyed, and loving service unto the Personality of Godhead, who is praised with transcendental songs, is established as an irrevocable fact.   We have to become determined. He hears Srimad Bhagavatam himself He asks us to offer fruits and then  Bg. 9.26 patraṁ puṣpaṁ phalaṁ toyaṁ yo me bhaktyā prayacchati tad ahaṁ bhakty-upahṛtam aśnāmi prayatātmanaḥ Translation If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or water, I will accept it. Bg. 3.13 yajña-śiṣṭāśinaḥ santo mucyante sarva-kilbiṣaiḥ bhuñjate te tv aghaṁ pāpā ye pacanty ātma-kāraṇāt Translation The devotees of the Lord are released from all kinds of sins because they eat food which is offered first for sacrifice. Others, who prepare food for personal sense enjoyment, verily eat only sin. Eat the remnants of yajna and have that. All your sins will be gone. Your paap vasna will be gone and he used to have prasadam with devotees. This is said in Gita. CC Madhya 1.232 ei mata cali’ cali’ āilā śāntipure dina pāṅca-sāta rahilā ācāryera ghare Translation Walking and walking, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu arrived at Śāntipura and remained at the house of Advaita Ācārya for five to seven days. One day he took prasad at Sri Advaita acharya’s home and said how tasty is this prasad because when he was honoring it, then Lord’s saliva was mixed in the prasadam and it has become more tasty. He did a lot for devotees and he followed and he taught the whole world through his acharan. apne achra kari jagate sikhaye Bole taisa chale tyachi vandavi paule (in Marathi) Those who speak and walk in such a way those people should be followed. His bhakti Adarsha is established everywhere. This is his vairagya darshans CC Madhya 22.54 ‘sādhu-saṅga’, ‘sādhu-saṅga’ — sarva-śāstre kaya lava-mātra sādhu-saṅge sarva-siddhi haya Translation “The verdict of all revealed scriptures is that by even a moment’s association with a pure devotee, one can attain all success. Chaitanya Mahāprabhu sings the glories of Sadhu sanga and he always stayed in Sadhu sanga. He used to give importance to this. Bg. 10.9 mac-cittā mad-gata-prāṇā bodhayantaḥ parasparam kathayantaś ca māṁ nityaṁ tuṣyanti ca ramanti ca Translation The thoughts of My pure devotees dwell in Me, their lives are fully devoted to My service, and they derive great satisfaction and bliss from always enlightening one another and conversing about Me. So, he called bengal devotees and had their sanga. This is some food for thought and it is the daily dose for your brain. We are his puppets: Prabhupada Poem āniyācho jadi prabhu āmāre nācāte nācāo nācāo prabhu nacāo se-mate kāṣṭhera puttali jathā nācāo se-mate Srila Prabhupada said we should be dancing like him and this is the perfection of life. So be dedicated in the lotus feet of the Lord more and more so that we are free from this false ego. We should follow the path of devotion.  Bg. 3.27 prakṛteḥ kriyamāṇāni guṇaiḥ karmāṇi sarvaśaḥ ahaṅkāra-vimūḍhātmā kartāham iti manyate Translation The spirit soul bewildered by the influence of false ego thinks himself the doer of activities that are carried out by the three modes of material nature. We are fallen and we want to take credit for everything, consider ourselfs as doers and when Krishna handles us we have to think like that. We are not  having the darshans of Jagannath. Take care of the deities and is Lord recovering? Are you giving him special diet and feed him your love. He likes that and these loving dealings he likes. Go and make him healthy as soon as possible so that on 7th July, Rathayatra can happen and on Saturday Natra utsav on 6th July will take place and Gundicha marjan will happen. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu used to clean very nicely specially the throne, he used to clean that. So this will a feast to your eyes and then he gives such nice darshans. All this will happen in the coming days. So today is Ekadashi and next Ekadashi is Sayana Ekadashi, this is another pastime of Lord. Chatur maas will begin and two weeks from today it will be celebrated and on that day you all will celebrate my Vyasapuja. It is my nivedan like Chaitanya Mahaprabhu as he called all the devotees so I cordially invite you to Vyasapuja. Did the invite reach you or not? Looks like 100 percent devotees got this invite and I wish to see you and meet you in Krishna Balrama mandir in Raman Reti in the ISKCON Goshala. Ekadashi Mahotsava ki Jai and Vrindavan dham ki jai!  Jagannath Baldev Subhdadra ki jai! Netra utsav ki jai! Srila Prabhupada ki jai!
