Siksastaka #7

 

O Govinda! Feeling your separation, I am considering one 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 this world because of Your absence.

 

[Tamohara dasa ADMIN.]

His mercy is apparent daily to all who call his name, and chant Hare Krsna under his authority; Srila Prabhupada is the solid link-up, so as he has warned us, do not change anything! So, we happily continue as he taught us, not knowing anything better, not even wanting to! We know the peak of the fruits when we taste them, no need for further guess work. What we taste now, will only increase and clarify.

The institutionalists may call us deluded deviants, the smartas may call us fallen nonHindus, the Gaudiyas may say we are not traditional enough, but frankly, that never bothered us much in the seveneties, it sure isn't going to bother us much now either. Chant! Hare Krishna!

trnad api sunicena taror api sahisnuna
amanina manadena kirtaniyah sada harih

 

One should chant the holy name of Krsna in a humble state of mind, con-

sidering oneself to be lower than a blade of grass. One should be more tolerant
than a tree, devoid of false prestige, and offer all respect to others, without
expecting any respect in return. In this way, one should always chant the holy
name of Krsna. (Siksastaka 3)
