Śrī Gadādhara Dāsa

When Nityananda Prabhu arrived in Bengal, He visited villages on both banks of the Ganges. Gadadhar Das was experiencing gopī-bhāva and took a jug full of Ganges water and called out to everyone, “Milk! Who wants to buy milk?” When Nityananda Prabhu saw Gadadhar Das’ bhāva, He took the Gopal deity from his house and danced, holding the deity to His chest.

Śrī Śrīnivāsa Ācārya

This article illustrates the life of Mahāprabhu’s personal associate Śrī Śrīnivāsa Ācārya. He preached the teachings of Mahāprabhu both through speaking on the Bhāgavata and through kirtan. Even before the birth of Śrīnivāsa Ācārya Mahāprabhu declared, “I will bring scriptures into the world through Rupa Gosvāmī and others; through Śrīnivāsa I shall distribute them. Śrīnivāsa is the embodiment of pure love for Me. All minds will be enthused upon seeing him.”

Glories of Gadadhara Das Goswami, Dhananjaya Pandit and Srinivas Acharya

Gadadhara Das Gosvami is Srimati Radharani’s effulgence. Just as Srila Gadadhar Pandit Goswami is Srimati Radharani Herself, so Gadadhar Das is an avatāra of Her bodily lustre. Gurudeva has narrated how he even changed the mind of a Kazi and made him chant Harinam. Dhananjaya Pandit is a personal associate of Nityananda Prabhu. He is Vasudama-sakha, one of the cow-herd friends in Krishna-Lila.

Gajendra's Prayers - 27

It is advised by our Guruvargas to hear Srimad Bhagavatam daily in association of exalted Vaisnavas, if possible. Preference should be given in favour of hearing the scriptures from Sadhus. During Damodar month, it is most beneficial to recite and read Gajendra Moksha Lila-stava from 8th canto of Srimad Bhagavatam, which teaches complete surrender to the Supreme Lord.

Day 27 : First Yam

3:22am to 5:46am. Chanting of the Holy Name Sri Krishna, completely, loudly in the company of devotees and without tenfold offences, which can bestow seven attainments—viz. cleansing of the mind-mirror, extinguishing of the forest fire of birth, death and threefold afflictions, bestowing eternal soothing benefit like moonlight, life of spiritual learning i.e. awakening of the real self, increasing of the ocean of bliss, bestowing at every step sweet taste of complete transcendental ambrosia, holy immersion of body-mind-real self—be supremely glorified.

Day 27: Second Yam

5:46am to 8:10am. O Supreme Lord! Your Holy Name bestows all kinds of eternal welfare to the conditioned souls. For that reason, your Holy Names have no direct or indirect connection with the non-eternal material world. These Holy Names have descended in this world. Supreme Lord has bestowed all powers to His Names and no restriction is imposed to utter the Holy Names. No restriction of time, space— rules and regulations, for utterance and remembrance of the Holy Names. O Lord! You are so merciful, out of compassion you have made easy for the conditioned souls to remember and chant Holy Names, but due to my tenfold offences and my greatest misfortune I have got no liking for Holy Name which has been made so easily obtainable.

Day 27 : Fourth Yam

10:34am to 3:22pm. O Supreme Lord! I have got no desire for wealth, manpower or erudition (desire for deceitful Trivarga— worldly piety, money and lust or even to merge myself with the Impersonal Formless Brahma, i.e. ‘Mukti’— salvation, which is more deceitful). My only prayer is to get causeless one-pointed devotion to You.
