How to cross the ocean of material existence without anxiety



 Living the conditional life is just like plying a boat in the middle of the ocean. One is completely at the mercy of the ocean, and at every moment there is every chance of being drowned in the ocean by slight agitation. If the atmosphere is all right, the boat can ply very easily, undoubtedly, but if there is some storm, fog, wind or cloud, there is every possibility of being drowned in the ocean. No one can control the whims of the ocean, however one may be materially well equipped. One who has crossed the oceans by ship may have sufficient experience of such dependence upon the mercy of the ocean. But one can ply over the ocean of material existence by the grace of the Lord very easily, without any fear of storm or fog. It all depends on the will of the Lord; no one can help if there is some unfortunate danger in the state of conditional life. The devotees of the Lord, however, cross the ocean of material existence without anxiety because a pure devotee is always protected by the Lord (Bg. 9.13). The Lord gives special attention to His devotees in their activities within material, conditional life (Bg. 9.29). Therefore everyone should take shelter of the lotus feet of the Lord and be a pure devotee of the Lord by all means.

Hari Nama Sankirtan Movement should follow the footsteps of Narada Muni



svara-brahmaį¹‡i nirbhāta-

hį¹›į¹£Ä«keśa-padāmbuje

akhaį¹‡įøaį¹ cittam āveśya

lokān anucaran muniįø„


TRANSLATION

The seven musical notes-į¹£a, į¹›, gā, ma, pa, dha and ni-are used in musical instruments, but originally they come from the Sāma Veda. The great sage Nārada vibrates sounds describing the pastimes of the Supreme Lord. By such transcendental vibrations, such as Hare Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a, Hare Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a, Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare, he fixes his mind at the lotus feet of the Lord. Thus he directly perceives Hį¹›į¹£Ä«keśa, the master of the senses. After delivering the Haryaśvas, Nārada Muni continued traveling throughout the planetary systems, his mind always fixed at the lotus feet of the Lord.



PURPORT

The goodness of the great sage Nārada Muni is described herewith. He always chants about the pastimes of the Lord and delivers the fallen souls back to Godhead. In this regard, ŚrÄ«la Bhaktivinoda į¹¬hākura has sung:


nārada-muni,           bājāya vÄ«į¹‡Ä,

'rādhikā-ramaį¹‡a'-nāme

nāma amani,           udita haya,

bhakata-gīta-sāme

amiya-dhārā,           variį¹£e ghana,

śravaį¹‡a-yugale giyā

bhakata-jana,           saghane nāce,

bhariyā āpana hiyā

mādhurÄ«-pÅ«ra,           Äsaba paśi',

mātāya jagata-jane

keha vā kāį¹…de,           keha vā nāce,

keha māte mane mane

paƱca-vadana,           nārade dhari',

premera saghana rola

kamalāsana,           nāciyā bale,

'bola bola hari bola'

sahasrānana,           parama-sukhe,

'hari hari' bali' gāya

nāma-prabhāve,           mātila viśva,

nāma-rasa sabe pāya

śrÄ«-kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a-nāma,           rasane sphuri',

purā'la āmāra āśa

śrÄ«-rÅ«pa-pade,           yācaye ihā,

bhakativinoda dāsa

The purport of this song is that Nārada Muni, the great soul, plays a stringed instrument called a vÄ«į¹‡Ä, vibrating the sound rādhikā-ramaį¹‡a, which is another name for Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a. As soon as he strokes the strings, all the devotees begin responding, making a very beautiful vibration. Accompanied by the stringed instrument, the singing seems like a shower of nectar, and all the devotees dance in ecstasy to the fullest extent of their satisfaction. While dancing, they appear madly intoxicated with ecstasy, as if drinking the beverage called mādhurÄ«-pÅ«ra. Some of them cry, some of them dance, and some of them, although unable to dance publicly, dance within their hearts. Lord Śiva embraces Nārada Muni and begins talking in an ecstatic voice, and seeing Lord Śiva dancing with Nārada, Lord Brahmā also joins, saying, "All of you kindly chant 'Hari bol! Hari bol!' " The King of heaven, Indra, also gradually joins with great satisfaction and begins dancing and chanting "Hari bol! Hari bol!" In this way, by the influence of the transcendental vibration of the holy name of God, the whole universe becomes ecstatic. Bhaktivinoda į¹¬hākura says, "When the universe becomes ecstatic, my desire is satisfied. I therefore pray unto the lotus feet of RÅ«pa GosvāmÄ« that this chanting of harer nāma (CC Adi 17.21) may go on nicely like this."


Lord Brahmā is the guru of Nārada Muni, who is the guru of Vyāsadeva, and Vyāsadeva is the guru of Madhvācārya. Thus the GauįøÄ«ya-Mādhva-sampradāya is in the disciplic succession from Nārada Muni. The members of this disciplic succession—in other words, the members of the Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a consciousness movement—should follow in the footsteps of Nārada Muni by chanting the transcendental vibration Hare Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a, Hare Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a, Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a, Hare Hare/ Hare Rāma, Hare Rāma, Rāma Rāma, Hare Hare. They should go everywhere to deliver the fallen souls by vibrating the Hare Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a mantra and the instructions of Bhagavad-gÄ«tā, ŚrÄ«mad-Bhāgavatam and Caitanya-caritāmį¹›ta. That will please the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One can spiritually advance if one actually follows the instructions of Nārada Muni. If one pleases Nārada Muni, then the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hį¹›į¹£Ä«keśa, is also pleased (yasya prasādād bhagavat-prasādaįø„). The immediate spiritual master is the representative of Nārada Muni; there is no difference between the instructions of Nārada Muni and those of the present spiritual master. Both Nārada Muni and the present spiritual master speak the same teachings of Kį¹›į¹£į¹‡a, who says in Bhagavad-gÄ«tā (18.65-66):


man-manā bhava mad-bhakto

mad-yājÄ« māį¹ namaskuru

mām evaiį¹£yasi satyaį¹ te

pratijāne priyo 'si me

sarva-dharmān parityajya

mām ekaį¹ śaraį¹‡aį¹ vraja

ahaį¹ tvāį¹ sarva-pāpebhyo

mokį¹£ayiį¹£yāmi mā śucaįø„


"Always think of Me and 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. Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear."


Srimad Bhagavatam 6.5.22
