Vijaya Ekadashi.




Yudhishthira Maharaj said, "Oh Lord Shri Krishna, O glorious son of Vasudeva, please be merciful to me and describe the Ekadashi that occurs during the dark fortnight of the month of Phalguna (February-March)." 

   Lord Shri Krishna replied, "Oh Yudhishthira, Oh king of kings, gladly I shall tell you about this great fast, known as Vijaya Ekadashi. Whoever observes it certainly achieves success in this life and the next. All the sins of one who fasts on this Ekadashi and hears its sublime glories are eradicated. 

   Narada Muni once asked lord Brahma, who sits on a lotus flower about the Vijaya Ekadashi. Shri Narada said, "Oh best of all the demigods, kindly tell me the merit one can achieve by faithfully observing Vijaya Ekadashi." 

   Narada's great father then replied, "My dear son, this oldest of fasting days is pure, and it nullifies all sins. I have never revealed this to anyone until today, but you can understand beyond any doubt that this Ekadashi bestows the result indicated by its name (Vijaya meaning Victory). 

   When Lord Rama was exiled to the forest for fourteen years, He, the goddess Sita, and His divine brother Lakshmana stayed at Panchavati as mendicants. Mother Sita was then kidnapped by the demon Ravana, and Lord Rama seemingly became bewildered like an ordinary man by distress. While searching for His beloved consort, the Lord came upon the dying Jatayu and thereafter killed His enemy Kabandha. The great devotee-vulture Jatayu returned to Vaikuntha after telling Rama how His dear Sita had been abducted by Ravana.

   Later, Lord Rama and Sugriva, the king of the monkeys, became friends. Together they amassed a grand army of monkeys and bears and sent Hanumanji his minister to Shri Lanka, where he was able to see Janaki (Shrimati Sita devi) in an Ashoka grove garden. He delivered Lord Rama's message and showed the ring proving his authenticity for rendering such great service to the Supreme Lord Shri Rama.

   With the help of Sugriva, Lord Rama proceeded toward Shri Lanka. Upon arriving at the shore of the ocean with the army of monkeys, He could understand that the water was uncommonly deep and hostile. Thus He said to Lakshmana, Oh son of Sumitra, how can We earn enough merit to be able to cross this vast ocean, the unfathomable abode of Varuna deva? I can see no easy way to cross it, teeming as it is with sharks and other ferocious aquatics.

   Lakshmana replied, Oh best of all beings, Oh origin of all the devas, Oh primal personality, the great sage Bakadalbhya lives on an island just four miles from here. Oh Raghava, he has seen many Brahmas come and go, so aged and wise is he. Let us go to him, take his darshan (audience) and ask him how We can safely reach our goal. 

   So Rama and Lakshmana proceeded to the humble Ashram of the incomparable Bakadalbhya Muni. Approaching him,the two Lords paid Their respectful obeisances to him as if he were a second Vishnu. Bakadalbhya could immediately understand, however, that Shri Rama was actually the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who for His own reasons had appeared on the Earth and was enacting just like a human being. "Shri Rama", said Bakadalbhya, "Oh best of the beings, why have You come to my lowly abode?" The Lord replied, "Oh great, twice born brahmin, I have come here to the ocean shore with My phalanx of monkey and bear warriors in order to cross the sea and conquer Lanka and its demon horde headed by Ravana. Oh greatest of sages, please be merciful unto Me and please tell Me how I can cross this vast ocean. That is why I have come to your Ashram today." The sage said, "Oh Lord Shri Rama, I shall tell you of the most exalted of all fasts, observing which You will surely conquer Ravana and be eternally glorified. Kindly now listen with full attention."

   "On the day before Ekadashi, fashion a water pot of gold or silver, or even copper. Even clay will do if these metals are unavailable. Fill the pot with pure water and then decorate it nicely with mango leaves. Cover it and place it near a holy altar upon a mound of seven grains (the seven grains are barley, wheat, rice, corn, chickpeas, kukani, and dahl or peas). Now take Your morning bath, decorate the water pot with flower garlands and sandalwood paste, and in the concave lid atop the pot place there the barley, pomegranate, and coconut. Now with great love and devotion worship the water pot Deity form and offer Him incense, sandalwood paste, flowers, a ghee lamp, and a plate of sumptuous foods. Remain there awake that night beside this sacred pot. On top of the lid filled with barley, etc., place a golden murthy of Lord Shri Narayana.

   When Ekadashi dawns, take Your morning bath and then decorate the water pot with fine sandalwood paste and garlands. Then worship the pot again with first class incense, lamps, sandalwood paste and flowers dipped in sandalwood paste, and then devoutly/devotedly place many kinds of cooked food, pomegranate, and coconut before the water pot. Then remain awake over night. When the Dwadashi dawns, take the waterpot to the bank of a holy river, or even to the shore of a small pond. After worshipping it again properly, Oh King of kings, offer it with all the aforementioned ingredients to a pure hearted brahmin, expert in the Vedic sciences. If You and Your military commanders observe the Vijaya Ekadashi in this way, You will surely be victorious in every way." 

   Lord Shri Ramachandra Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, did just as Bakadaalbhya Muni instructed, and thus He conquered all demoniac forces. Similarly, anyone who observes the Vijaya Ekadashi in this way will always be victorious in this mortal world, and after leaving this world he/she will reside forever in the anxiety free realm of the Kingdom of God known as the Vaikunthas. 

   Oh Narada, my son, from this history you can understand why one should observe this Ekadashi fast properly, strictly following the rules and regulations. This fast is powerful enough to eradicate all one's sinful reactions, even the most abominable ones". 

   Lord Shri Krishna concluded, "Oh Yudhishthira, anyone who reads or hears this history will attain the same great merit as that which is earned by performing a horse sacrifice on days of yore." 

   Thus ends the narration of the glories of Phalguna-krishna Ekadashi or Vijaya Ekadashi, from the Skanda Purana. 



NOTES:

   Sugriva a great monkey, was the son of Indra and Ahilya. She was the wife of Gautama, one of the seven great sages who appeared from the mind of lord Brahma. Indra disguised himself as Gautama Muni and seduced Ahilya, who had been blessed that she would never age beyond sixteen. She was the most beautiful lady on earth, and both Indra and the sun-god became enamored by her beauty. One after the other, Indra and the sun-god came to her in the form of Gautama Muni and had union with her, and Sugriva and Vali were born as a result, respectively (Sugriva of Indra's union and Vali of Surya's union). At first, Sugriva and Vali looked like human beings, but when Gautama discovered his wife's infidelity, he angrily threw both the boys into the ocean saying" If you are not my sons, turn into monkeys". Thus they became monkeys. Sugriva helped his friend Rama to find Sita devi, and in return Rama helped Sugriva regain his kingdom of Kishkindha from his brother Vali. Regarding Gautama Muni's possessing a spectacularly wife, the moralist Chanakhya Pandita says: Rinakarta pita shatruh Mata cha vyabhicharini Bharya rupavati shatruh Putra shatruh kupanditah "In this world, a man has four enemies; a father who is a debtor, a mother who is like a prostitute, a beautiful wife, and a son who is uninterested in spiritual science" A beautiful wife is an enemy because many other men will be attracted to her.

Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura



               Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati was one of ten children born to Bhaktivinoda Thakura, a great Vaishnava teacher in the disciplic-line from Lord Chaitanya Himself.  While living in a house named Narayana Chata, just near the temple of Lord Jagannatha in Puri, Bhaktivinoda Thakura was engaged as a prominent Deputy Magistrate and also served as the superintendent of the temple of Lord Jagannatha. Yet in spite of these responsibilities, he served the cause of Krishna with prodigious energy. While working to reform Gaudiya Vaisnavism in India, he prayed to Lord Chaitanya, "Your teachings have been greatly depreciated and it is not in my power to restore them."  Thus he prayed for a son to help him in his preaching mission.  When, on February 6, 1874, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati was born to Bhaktivinoda and Bhagavati devi in Jagannatha Puri, the Vaishnavas considered him the answer to his father's prayers.  He was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and draped across his chest like the sacred thread worn by brahmanas.                    

                              Six months after the child was born, Bhaktivinoda arranged for his son to undergo the annaprasana ceremony with the prasada of Vimala devi, and thereafter named the boy Bimala prasada.  Around the same time the carts of the Jagannatha festival stopped at the gate of Bhaktivinoda's residence and for three days could not be moved. Bhaktivinoda Thakura's wife brought the infant onto the cart and approached the Deity of Lord Jagannatha.  Spontaneously, the infant extended his arms and touched the feet of Lord Jagannatha and was immediately blessed with a garland that fell from the body of the Lord.  Seeing this the priests chanted the name of Hari and told the child's mother that the boy would certainly become a great devotee one day.  When Bhaktivinoda Thakura learned that the Lord's garland had fallen on his son, he realized that this was the son for whom he had prayed.

                              Bimala Prasada stayed in Puri for ten months after his birth and then went to Bengal by palanquin on his mother's lap, his infancy was spent at Nadia District's Ranaghat hearing topics of Shri Hari from his mother.                            

                              Bhaktivinoda and his wife were orthodox and virtuous; they never allowed their children to eat anything other than prasada, nor to associate with bad company.  One day, when Bimala Prasada was still a child of no more than four years, his father mildly rebuked him for eating a mango not yet duly offered to Lord Krishna. Bimala Prasada, although only a child, considered himself an offender to the Lord and vowed never to eat mangoes again. (This was a vow that he would follow throughout this life.)  By the time Bimala Prasada was seven years old, he had memorised the entire Bhagavad gita and could even explain its verses.  His father then began training him in proofreading and printing, in conjunction with the publishing of the Vaishnava magazine Sajjana-tosani.   

                              In 1881, in the course of excavating for the construction of the Bhakti bhavana at Rambagan in Calcutta, a Deity of Kurmadeva was unearthed. After initiating his seven year old son, Bhaktivinoda entrusted Bimala with the service of the Deity of Kurmadeva.   

                              On April 1, 1884, Bhaktivinoda was appointed the senior Deputy Magistrate of Serampore, where he admitted Bimala in the Serampore High School.  When Bimala was a mere student in class five, he invented a new method of writing named Bicanto.  During this period he took lessons in mathematics and astrology from Pandita Mahesacandra Cudamoni.  However, he preferred to read devotional books rather than the school texts.

                              In 1892, after passing his entrance examination, Bimala was admitted into the Sanskrit College of Calcutta.  There he spent considerable time in the library studying various books on philosophy.  He also studied the Vedas under the guidance of Prithvidhara Sarma.  As a student he contributed many thoughtful articles to various religious journals. However he did not continue with his college studies for long.                          

                              In 1897 he started an autonomous Catuspathi (Sanskrit school) wherefrom monthly journals entitled "Jyotirvid", "Vrihaspati", and many old treatises on astrology were published.  In 1898, while teaching at Sarasvata Catuspathi, he studied Siddhanta Kaumudi under Prthvidhara Sarma, at Bhaktibhavana.  By the time he was twenty-five he had become well versed in Sanskrit, mathematics, and astronomy, and he had established himself as the author and publisher of many magazine articles and one book, SuryaA siddhanta, for which he received the epithet Siddhanta Sarasvati in recognition of his erudition.

                              In 1895 Sarasvati Gosvami accepted service under the Tripura Royal Government as an editor for the biography entitled Rajaratnakara, the life histories of the royal line of the independent Tripura Kingdom. Later he was entrusted with the responsibility of educating the Yuvaraja Bahadur and Rajkumar Vrajendra Kisore, in Bengali and Sanskrit.   
                              
                              After a short period of time, Siddhanta Sarasvati took up the responsibilities for inspecting various ongoing activities in the royal palace for the state of Tripura.  However, after finding enviousness, malice and corruption surfacing in ever corner of his inspection, Siddhanta Sarasvati very quickly developed an aversion to state affairs and gave notice of his intention to retire to Maharaja Radhakisore Manikya Bahadur. The Maharaja approved of Siddhanta Sarasvati's plans for renunciation and awarded him full-pay pension. However, after three years Siddhanta Sarasvati also renounced his pension.

                              With his father, he visited many tirthas and heard discourses from the learned panditas.  In October 1898 Siddhanta Sarasvati accompanied Bhaktivinoda on a pilgrimage of Kasi, Prayag, Gaya and other holy places. At Kasi a discussion was held with Ramamisra Sastri regarding the Ramanuja Sampradaya.  After this talk Siddhanta Sarasvati's life seemed to take a turn, his inclination towards renunciation increased, and he quietly continued to search for a sadguru.

                              When Siddhanta Sarasvati was twenty-six his father, understanding the mind of his son, guided him to take initiation from a renounced Vaishnava saint, Gaurakisora dasa Babaji. Gaurakisora dasa Babaji was the embodiment of vairagya and was very selective about giving diksa.  He lived beneath a tree near the bank of the Ganga and wore the abandoned clothes of dead bodies as a waist band (kaupina).  Generally he ate plain rice soaked in Ganga water garnished with chili and salt.  Sometimes he utilized discarded earthen pots, after properly washing them he would cook rice in them, offer it to Krishna, and then take prasada.

             Following the advice of his father, Siddhanta Sarasvati went to Gaurakisora dasa and begged to be accepted as his disciple.  Gaurakisora replied that he would not be able to give diksa unless he received the approval of Lord Chaitanya.  However, when Siddhanta Sarasvati returned again, Gaurakisora said that he had forgotten to ask Lord Chaitanya.  On the third visit, Gaurakisora stated that Lord Chaitanya had said that erudition is extremely insignificant in comparison to devotion to the Supreme Lord.  

     Hearing this Siddhanta replied that since Gaurakisora was the servant of Kapatacudamani (the Supreme deceiver) hence he must be testing Sarasvati by with-holding his consent.  However Siddhanta Sarasvati remained firmly determined and remarked that Ramanuja Acarya had been sent back eighteen times before he finally received the grace of Gosthipurna, thus he too would wait patiently until the day that Gaurakisora would bestow his benedictions upon him.  Seeing the commitment of Sarasvati, Gaurakisora was impressed and gave him diksa in the blissful grove of Godruma and advised him, "to preach the Absolute Truth and keep aside all other works."

                              In March 1900 Sarasvati accompanied Bhaktivinoda on a pilgrimage of Balasore, Remuna, Bhuvanesvar, and Puri.  As instructed by Bhaktivinoda, Sarasvati gave lectures from Cc. with profound purports.  Through the initiative of Bhaktivinoda Thakura the flow of pure bhakti again began to inundate the world.  After Lord Chaitanya's disappearance a period of darkness ensued in which the river of bhakti had been choked and practically dried up.  The end of the period was brought about by the undaunted preaching of Bhaktivinoda Thakura.  He wrote a number of books on suddha bhakti siddhanta and published numerous religious periodicals.  He inspired many to take up the service of Lord Gauranga and instituted various Namahatta and Prapannasrama (Gaudiya matha centers).

              In 1905 Siddhanta Sarasvati took a vow to chant the Hare Krishna mantra a billion times.  Residing in Mayapur in a grass hut near the birthplace of Lord Chaitanya, he chanted the mantra day and night.  He cooked rice once a day in an earthen pot and ate nothing more; he slept on the ground, and when the rainwater leaked trough the grass ceiling, he sat beneath an umbrella, chanting.

         In 1912 Manindra Nadi, the Maharaja of Cossimbazar, arranged to hold a large Vaishnava Sammilani at his palace.  At the specific request of the Maharaja, Sarasvati Gosvami attended the Sammilani and delivered four very brief speeches on Suddha Bhakti on four consecutive days.  However, he did not take any food during the Sammilani because of the presence of various groups of Sahajiyas.  After fasting for four days Sarasvati Gosvami came to Mayapura and took the prasada of Lord Chaitanya.  Later when Maharaja Manindra Nandy realized what had happened he was deeply aggrieved and came to Mayapura to apologize to Siddhanta Sarasvati.

              During that time Bengal was full of Sahajiya sects, such as Aul, Baul, Kartabhaja, Neda-nedi, Darvesa, Sain etc., who followed worldly practices in the name of spiritualism.  Siddhanta Sarasvati launched a severe attack against those irreligious sects and did not spare anyone who deviated from the teachings of Lord Chaitanya.  Even some well known persons bearing the surname of Gosvamis patronized these Sahajiya sects during that period.

            Siddhanta Sarasvati was deeply grieved to see these groups of Prakrita Sahajiyas, in the garb of Paramahamsa Gosvami Guru's, misleading the people.  Thus he completely disassociated himself and resorted to performing bhajana in solitude.  During this period of solitude, one day Lord Chaitanya, along with the six Gosvamis, suddenly manifested before Siddhanta Sarasvati's vision and said:  "Do not be disheartened, take up the task of re-establishing Varnasrama with new vigour and preach the message of love for Shri Krishna everywhere. After receiving this message, Sarasvati Gosvami was filled with inspiration to preach the glories of Lord Chaitanya enthusiastically.

       In 1911, while his aging father was lying ill, Siddhanta Sarasvati took up a challenge against pseudo Vaishnavas who claimed that birth in their caste was the prerequisite for preaching Krishna consciousness.  The caste-conscious brahmana community had become incensed by Bhaktivinoda Thakura's presentation of many scriptural proofs that anyone, regardless of birth, could become a brahmana-Vaishnava. These smarta brahmanas, out to prove the inferiority of the Vaishnavas, arranged a discussion.  On behalf of his indisposed father, young Siddhanta Sarasvati wrote an essay, "The Conclusive Difference Between the Brahmana and the Vaishnava," and submitted it before his father.  Despite his poor health, Bhaktivinoda Thakura was elated to hear the arguments that would soundly defeat the challenge of the smartas.

          On the request of Madhusudana dasa Gosvami of Vrndavana and Visvambharananda deva Gosvami of Gopiballavpur, Siddhanta Sarasvati traveled to Midnapur, where panditas from all over India had gathered for a three-day discussion.  Some of the smarta panditas who spoke first claimed that anyone born in a sudra family, even though initiated by a spiritual master, could never become purified and perform the brahminical duties of worshiping the Deity or initiating disciples.  Finally, Siddhanta Sarasvati delivered his speech.  He began quoting Vedic references glorifying the brahmanas, and at this the smarta scholars became very much pleased.  But when he began discussing the actual qualifications for becoming a brahmana, the qualities of the Vaishnavas, the relationship between the two, and who, according to the Vedic literature, is qualified to become a spiritual master and initiate disciples, then the joy of the Vaishnava-haters disappeared.  Siddhanta Sarasvati conclusively proved from the scriptures that if one is born as a sudra but exhibits the qualities of a brahmana then he should be honoured as a brahmana, despite his birth. And if one is born in a brahmana family but acts like a sudra, then he is not a brahmana. After his speech, Siddhanta Sarasvati was congratulated by the president of the conference, and thousands thronged around him.  It was a victory for Vaisnavism.

        Bhaktivinoda Thakura passed away in 1916(1914?) on the day of Gadadhara Pandita's disappearance.  On the eve of his death Bhaktivinoda instructed his son to preach the teachings of the six Gosvamis and Lord Chaitanya far and wide.  He also requested that Siddhanta Sarasvati develop the birthsite of Lord Gauranga.  Mother Bhagavati devi died a few years later.  Before her death, she held the hands of Sarasvati Gosvami imploring him to preach the glories of Lord Gauranga and His dhama.  Accepting the instructions of his parents as his foremost duty, Sarasvati Gosvami took up this task of preaching with intense enthusiasm and vigour.

           With the passing away of his father, and his spiritual master a year later, Siddhanta Sarasvati continued the mission of Lord Chaitanya.  He assumed editorship of Sajjana-tosani and established the Bhagvat Press in Krishnanagar.  Then in 1918, in Mayapur, he sat down before a picture of Gaurakisora dasa Babaji and initiated himself into the sannyasa order.  At this time he assumed the sannyasa title Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Maharaja.

              Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati was dedicated to using the printing press as the best medium for large-scale distribution of Krishna consciousness.  He thought of the printing press as a brhat mrdanga, a big mrdanga.  The mrdanga drum played during kirtana could be heard for a block or two, whereas with the brhat mrdanga, the printing press, the message of Lord Chaitanya could be spread all over the world.

            Rohinikumar Ghosh, a nephew of Justice Candramadhava Ghosh of Calcutta High Court and originally a resident of Bhola in Barisal (now in Bangladesh), decided to renounce the world and engage himself in Haribhajana.  With this purpose in mind he came to Kulia in Navadvipa where he led the life of a Baul.  However, he despised the practices of the sevadasis prevalent amongst the Baul sect.  One day Rohini Ghosh happen to come to the Yogapitha when Sarasvati Gosvami was lecturing there.  Rohini was delighted to see the luminous appearance of Sarasvati Gosvami and fascinated by his words.  Late that night, after spending the whole day listening to Sarasvati Gosvami's teachings, Rohini returned to his Baul Guru's asrama at Kulia.  Without taking any prasada, Rohini took rest contemplating the lessons on Suddha Bhakti which he had heard that day.  In his dream Rohini saw a Baul and his consort appear before him in the form of a tiger and tigress which were about to devour him.  Trembling in fear Rohini desperately called out to Lord Chaitanya.  Suddenly Rohini found himself being rescued from the clutches of the tigers by Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati.  From that day Rohini left the Baul guru forever and took shelter at the feet of Sarasvati Gosvami.

           Annadaprasad Datta, the elder brother of Sarasvati Gosvami, suffered with severe headaches shortly before his death.  On the day of Annada's death Sarasvati Gosvami remained by his side all through the night, chanting Harinama.  Before Annada passed away he briefly regained consciousness and began apologizing to Sarasvati Gosvami, who simply encouraged him to remember the holy name of the Lord.  Suddenly the tilak mark of the Ramanuja sampradaya became clearly visible on Annada's forehead.  Annada explained that in his past birth he had been a Vaishnava belonging to the Ramanuja sect.  But due to committing an offense at the feet of Sarasvati Thakura, Annada had to be reborn.  However, as a result of his past merit he was fortunate enough to be born into Bhaktivinoda's family.  After finishing his account Annada breathed his last.

         Once on the day preceding Janmastami in the Bengali month of Bhadra, Sarasvati Gosvami was engaged in bhajana at Mayapura but was feeling disturbed as he was unable to arrange for milk to be offered to the Deity. As soon as he began to think in this way he chastised himself: "Have I thought like this for my own sake?  That is wrong."  Because it was the monsoon season, Lord Chaitanya's birth site was covered with water and was totally inaccessible except by boat.  However, that afternoon, one milkman turned up there wading through water and slush carrying a large quantity of milk, ksira, butter, cottage-cheese etc.  Apparently a zamindar named Harinarayana Cakravarti, guided by Lord Chaitanya, had sent the milkman with all the items.

          After offering everything to the Deity the devotees partook of the prasada joyfully.  Sarasvati Thakura was surprised to see so much prasada and the devotees explained what had happened.  After taking prasada Siddhanta Sarasvati humbly appealed to the Lord:  I am very sorry to have caused You so much trouble.  Why did I have such an uncalled for thought? To fulfill my desire You have inspired another person and arranged to send these things."

            The world was amazed to see the supernatural power of Sarasvati Gosvami.  Many educated persons from highly respectable families were attracted to him and thus dedicated themselves to the service of Lord Gauranga.  Between 1918 and 1937 Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati founded sixtyA four Suddha Bhakti Mathas at the following places: Navadvipa, Mayapura, Calcutta, Chaka, Mymensingh, Naryanaganj, Chittagong, Midnapore, Remuna, Babasore, Puri, Alalanatha, Madras, Covoor, Delhi, Patna, Gaya, Lucknow, Varanasi, Hardwar, Allahabad, Mathura, Vrndavana, Assam, Kuruksetra, and outside India in London, and Rangoon.  Sarasvati Gosvami instituted Gaurapadapitha at Nrsimhacala on the top of the Mandara hill, and at several places in South India.  He initiated twenty five highly educated persons into Bhagavata Tridandi sannyasa.

   He published the following periodicals on Suddha Bhakti in different languages:
                              
                              1. Sajjanatosani (a fortnightly Bengali)
                              2. The Harmonist (an English fortnightly)
                              3. Gaudiya (a Bengali weekly)
                              4. Bhagavata (a Hindi fortnightly)
                              5. Nadiya Prakasa (a Bengali daily)
                              6. Kirtana (an Assamese monthly)
                              7. Paramarthi (in Odiya)

                              In addition he published a large number of Vaishnava books.  In fact, he heralded a new era in the spiritual world.  He deputed well-disciplined Tridandi sannyasi's to preach the message of Lord Gauranga all over the world.  For six years he continued to supervise this preaching work and when he found that his mission had attained its goal, to a reasonable extent, he decided to pass into the eternal service of Lord Gauranga.

           A few days before his death Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati called his foremost disciples and showered his blessings upon all his devotees. He gave them the following instructions:  " With the utmost enthusiasm preach the message of Rupa Raghunatha. Our ultimate goal is to become a speck of dust touching the lotus feet of the followers of Rupa Gosvami.  All of you remain united in allegiance to the spiritual master (Asraya-vigraha) in order to satisfy the senses of the Transcendental Entity of Non-Dual Knowledge.  Do not give up the worship of Hari even amidst hundreds of dangers, hundreds of insults or hundreds of persecutions.  Do not become unenthusiastic upon seeing that the majority of people in this world are not accepting the message of Krishna's sincere worship.  Never give up the glorification of the topics of Krishna, they are your own personal bhajana and your very all and all.  Being humble like a blade of grass and tolerant like  a tree, constantly glorify Hari.

        In the early hours of the day on January 1, 1937 Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami passed away.

Nitai-pada-kamala



 Manah-siksha

Teachings to the Mind
(from Prarthana)


(1)

nitai-pada-kamala, koti-candra-susitala
je chayay jagata juray
heno nitai bine bhai, radha-krishna paite nai
dridha kori’ dharo nitair pay

(2)

se sambandha nahi ja’r, britha janma gelo ta’r
sei pasu boro duracar
nitai na bolilo mukhe, majilo samsara-sukhe
vidya-kule ki koribe tar

(3)

ahankare matta hoiya, nitai-pada pasariya
asatyere satya kori mani
nitaiyer koruna habe, braje radha-krishna pabe
dharo nitai-carana du’khani

(4)

nitaiyer carana satya, tahara sevaka nitya
nitai-pada sada koro asa
narottama boro dukhi, nitai more koro sukhi
rakho ranga-caranera pasa

Translation:

(1) The lotus feet of Lord Nityananda are a shelter where one will get the soothing moonlight not only of one,but of millions of moons. If the world wants to have real peace, it should take shelter of Lord Nityananda. Unless one takes shelter under the shade of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, it will be very difficult for him to approach Radha-Krishna. If one actually wants to enter into the dancing party of Radha-Krishna, he must firmly catch hold of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.

(2) Anyone who has not established his relationship with Nityananda Prabhu is understood to have spoiled his valuable human birth. Such a human being is actually an uncontrollable animal. Because he never uttered the holy name of Nityananda, he has become merged into so-called material happiness. What can his useless education and family tradition do to help him?

(3) Being maddened after false prestige and identification with the body, one is thinking, nOh, what is Nityananda? What can He do for me? I don't care.î The result is that he is accepting something false to be truth. If you actually want to approach the association of Radha-Krishna, you must first achieve the mercy of Lord Nityananda. When He is merciful toward you, then you will be able to approach Radha-Krishna. Therefore you should firmly grasp the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.

(4) The lotus feet of Nityananda are not illusion; they are a fact. One who engages in the transcendental loving service of Nityananda is also transcendental. Always try to catch the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda. This Narottama dasa is very unhappy, therefore I am praying to Lord Nityananda to make me happy. My dear Lord, please keep me close to Your lotus feet.


Purport
by His Divine Grace
A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada


This is a very nice song sung by Narottama dasa Thakura. He advises that nitai-pada, the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda (kamala means "lotus," and pada means "feet"), are a shelter where one will get the soothing moonlight not only of one, but of millions of moons. We can just imagine the aggregate total value of the soothing shine of millions of moons. In this material world (jagat), which is progressing toward hell, there is always a blazing fire, and everyone is struggling hard without finding peace; therefore, if the world wants to have real peace, it should take shelter under the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, which are cooling like the shining of a million moons. Juraya means "relief." If one actually wants relief from the struggle of existence and actually wants to extinguish the blazing fire of material pangs, Narottama dasa Thakura advises, "Please take shelter of Lord Nityananda."


What will be the result of accepting the shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda? He says, heno nitai bine bhai: unless one takes shelter under the shade of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, radha-krishna paite nai—it will be very difficult for him to approach Radha-Krishna. The aim of this Krishna consciousness movement is to enable us to approach Radha-Krishna and associate with the Supreme Lord in His sublime pleasure dance. Narottama dasa Thakura advises that if one actually wants to enter into the dancing party of Radha- Krishna, he must accept the shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda. Then he says, se sambandha nahi Sambandha means "connection" or "contact." Anyone who has not contacted a relationship with Nityananda is understood to have spoiled his human birth. In another song also, Narottama dasa says, hari hari bifale janama gonainu: anyone who does not approach Radha-Krishna through a relationship with Nityananda has uselessly spoiled his life. Britha means "useless," janma means "life," ta’r means "his," and sambandha means "relationship." Anyone who does not make a relationship with Nityananda is simply spoiling the boon of his human form of life. Why is he spoiling it? Sei pasu boro duracar. Sei means "that," pasu means "animal," and duracar means "misbehaved" or "the most misbehaved." Without elevation to Krishna consciousness through the mercy of Lord Caitanya and Nityananda, life is
simply spoiled in the animal propensities of sense gratification. Narottama dasa says that ordinary animals can be tamed, but when a human being is animalistic, having only animal propensities, he is most horrible, for he cannot be tamed. Ordinary cats and dogs or even a tiger can be tamed, but when a human being goes out of his way and neglects to take to the human activity of Krishna consciousness, his higher intelligence will simply be misused for animal propensities, and it is very difficult to tame him. The enactment of state laws cannot make a thief an honest man—because his heart is polluted, he cannot be tamed. Every man sees that a person who commits criminal offenses is punished by the government, and also in scriptural injunctions punishment in hell is mentioned. But despite hearing from scripture and seeing the action of the state laws, the demoniac cannot be tamed.


What are they doing? Nitai na bolilo mukhe. Since they do not know who Nityananda is, they never say the names of Lord Nityananda and Lord Caitanya. Majilo samsara-sukhe. Majilo means "becomes absorbed." They become absorbed in so-called material enjoyment. They don’t care who Lord Caitanya and Nityananda are, and therefore they go deep down into material existence. Vidya-kule ki koribe tar: if one has no connection with Nityananda, and if he does not come to Krishna consciousness, his vidya, or his so-called academic education, and kula, birth in a high family or great nation, will not protect him. Regardless of whether one is born in a very big family or nation or has a very advanced academic education, at the time of
death nature’s law will act, his work will be finished, and he will get another body according to that work. Why are these human animals acting in this way? Ahankare matta hoiya, nitai-pada pasariya. They have become maddened by a false concept of bodily life, and thus they have forgotten their eternal relationship with Nityananda. Asatyere satya kori mani: such forgetful persons accept the illusory energy as factual. Asatyere refers to that which is not a fact, or, in other words, maya. Maya means that which has no existence but is a temporary illusion only. Persons who have no contact with Nityananda accept this illusory body as factual. Narottama dasa Thakura then says, nitaiyer koruna habe, braje radha-krishna pabe: "If you actually want
to approach the association of Radha-Krishna, you must achieve the mercy of Lord Nityananda first. When He is merciful toward you, then you will be able to approach Radha-Krishna." Dharo nitai-carana du’khani. Narottama dasa advises that one firmly catch the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.


Then again he says, nitai-carana satya. One should not misunderstand and think that as he has caught hold of maya, similarly the lotus feet of Nityananda may also be something like that maya, or illusion. Therefore Narottama dasa confirms, nitai-carana satya: the lotus feet of Nityananda are not illusion; they are a fact. Tahara sevaka nitya: and one who engages in the transcendental loving service of Nityananda is also transcendental. If one engages in the transcendental loving service of Nityananda in Krishna consciousness, he immediately achieves his transcendental position on the spiritual platform, which is eternal and blissful. Therefore he advises, nitai-pada sada koro asa: always try to catch the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda. Narottama boro dukhi. Narottama dasa Thakura, the acarya, is taking the position that he is very unhappy. Actually, he is representing ourselves. He says, "My dear Lord, I am very unhappy." Nitai more koro sukhi: "Therefore I am praying to Lord Nityananda to make me happy." Rakho ranga-caranera pasa: "Please keep me in a corner of Your lotus feet."
