If You Simply Become Under The Lotus Feet Of Sri Krsna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Then Love Of Krsna Is Very Easily Achieved

[Gavin Swinden]

(If you simply become under the lotus feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu, then love of Kṛṣṇa is very easily achieved) 

 

"Therefore Rūpa Gosvāmī offered his first prayer to Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu:

 

namo mahā-vadānyāyakṛṣṇa-prema-pradāya tekṛṣṇāya kṛṣṇa-caitanya-nāmne gaura-tviṣe namaḥ(CC Madhya 19.53)

 

Such a difficult subject matter: Kṛṣṇa. "You are not only giving Kṛṣṇa, but You are giving kṛṣṇa-prema, love of Kṛṣṇa." You can meet somebody, some exalted person, you can see, but to become an intimate relationship with such exalted person in love, that is not very easy thing.

 

I can meet the president or some exalted person, but to become in love with him in intimacy, that is not easy job. But Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu distributed this Kṛṣṇa love immediately, anyone. That is Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu's, I mean to say, contribution to the human society.

 

If you simply become under the lotus feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu, then love of Kṛṣṇa is very easily achieved. Therefore it is said: tāṅhāra caraṇāśrita, sei baḍa dhanya. He's glorified because he receives . . . to become under the lotus feet of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu means you have got Kṛṣṇa.

 

You have already got. That is the verdict of the śāstra and Caitanya-caritāmṛta. Because Kṛṣṇa, Caitanya Mahāprabhu, does not give anything else. Simply directly gives you Kṛṣṇa and His love."

All Glories to Sri Krsna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu

Wow! Super nice! Most even we devotees do not fully know and appreciate the glories of Sri Krsna Caitanaya, how rare He is, like the grad class at the MS /PH.D. level. 

[Tamohara dasa ADMIN.]

He is described in Caitanya Bhagavata as so handsome, all the local girls were in love with Him, but He was composed, and as we know eventually married Srimati Laxmi Priya, most excellent daughter of a brahamana, the personification of renounced pure devotion and all good chaste female qualities. He was tall, long armed, extremely intelligent and clever, adventurous, black curly hair, broad chest and well built shoulders. powerful. This artist's work is in keeping with that description, though of course in renounced sannyasa dress...

"O my merciful Lord Caitanya, may the nectarean Ganges waters of Your transcendental activities flow on the surface of my desertlike tongue. Beautifying these waters are the lotus flowers of singing, dancing and loud chanting of Kṛṣṇa's holy name, which are the pleasure abodes of unalloyed devotees. These devotees are compared to swans, ducks and bees. The river's flowing produces a melodious sound that gladdens their ears." (C.C Adi Lila 2.2) 

[Tamohara dasa ADMIN.]

When you speak of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, we should understand immediately that He's Kṛṣṇa in Rādhā's attitude, rādhā-bhāva)

"When you speak of Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya, we should understand immediately that He's Kṛṣṇa in Rādhā's attitude, rādhā-bhāva. Kṛṣṇa, Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa, They are one; They are not different. Rādhā kṛṣṇa-praṇaya-vikṛtir hlādinī śaktir asmād (CC Adi 1.5).

Rādhārāṇī is expansion of Kṛṣṇa's pleasure potency. So Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Kṛṣṇa Himself, but the pleasure potency of Kṛṣṇa is prominent in His activities. Because Kṛṣṇa, in order to understand Himself, He took the position of Rādhārāṇī to understand Himself.

Personally He could not understand His potencies, but when He appeared as Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu in the attitude of Rādhārāṇī's love for Kṛṣṇa, kṛṣṇa-prema, then He could fully understand Him. These are very intricate subject matter to understand, but this is the fact."
