Gaura Purnima 2023

Gaura Purnima 2023 – “I have always wanted to taste the joy that comes from Srimati Radharani, but still, despite their efforts, I have not been able to. Therefore, to fulfill my three wishes, I take on the body complex of Sri Radhika. and ecstatic love. into the mind and then into incarnation.”

While Advaita Acharya was thinking about how to please Krishna through worship, the following verse came to mind: “Sri Krishna, who is very loving towards his devotees, sells himself to one who gives him only a tulasi leaf and a drop of water.”

(Gautamiyatantra) Apart from this secondary reason why Lord Krishna reappeared in the form of a devotee, there is another secret purpose which is very personal in nature. Although Lord Krishna’s taste was an integral part of His love-filled marriage in the company of the gopis, He was unable to fulfill the three wishes.

Sri Upendra Mishra, a brahmana who was a gopala named Parjanya, grandfather of Lord Krishna, was a great devotee and scholar. One of Upendra’s seven sons, Jagannath Mishra, migrated from Srihatta to the banks of the Ganga in Nadia, where he married Srimati Sachidevi, daughter of Nilambar Chakravarti, formerly Gargamuni.

Therefore, after his arrival, the Lord thought, “Although I am the omnipresent truth and the reservoir of all rasas, I cannot understand the power of Radharan’s love with which she always pours upon me. Verily, Radharan’s love is my teacher, and I am her dancing pupil, for her love makes me

to dance in many new ways. Whatever pleasure I may taste in my love for Srimati Radharani, she has enjoyed ten million times more in her love, which is nothing greater than the love of Radha, for it all intensifies, yet it increases constantly and is completely devoid of pride. There is nothing

purer than Radha’s love, and yet its behavior is always twisted and perverse.” He told the people of the town to come in the evening, each with a torch in his hand. This they did, and Nimai marched out with his ‘sankirtan’, divided into 14 groups, and when he reached the Kazie’s house, he had a long conversation with the Kazie, and finally expressed his Vaishnava influence in his heart by contacting his body.

. Then the Kazi wept and confessed that he felt a fervent spiritual influence which cleared up his doubts and showed him a religious attitude which threw him into the greatest ecstasy. Kazi then joined the sankirtan party.

The world was amazed at the spiritual power of the Great Lord, and hundreds and hundreds of heretics were converted and joined the banner of Visvambhara after this incident. This was one desire that burned more in Lord Krishna’s heart.

Then, seeing his own beauty, Lord Krishna began to think: “My sweetness is infinitely wonderful. Only Radhika can taste the full nectar of my sweetness through the power of her love, which acts just like a mirror to increase it. Although the sweet, the infinite, seems to have no room to expand,

it shines with newer and newer beauty, so it is constantly competing with Radharani’s mirror of love as they continue to multiply without admitting defeat.” “The participants taste my sweetness according to their own loves, and if I see the sweetness reflected in the mirror, then I want to taste it too, although I cannot. After the discussion, I can only enjoy my sweetness . . . to take the position of Srimati Radharan.”

The Supreme Lord Sri Krishna, in the presence of Srimati Radharani, appeared as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to establish the Sankirtana Movement – ​​Yuga Dharma for this Kali age. He appeared on the full moon day of Phalgun month in 1486 at Sridham Mayapur as the son of Sri Jagannath Mishra and Srimati Sachidevi.

“That is why even with hundreds of mouths I could not express the pleasure that Radharani derives from my association. Indeed, when I am polished after seeing our shared pastimes, I consider my own happiness careless. the happiness of the lover and the beloved are equal. , but they do not know the nature of Transcendent Love in Vrindavana. Radharani’s indescribable pleasure

therefore I understand that there is some unknown fullness in me that rules its whole life.” There was peace and joy in every direction and in everyone’s mind. At Shantipur, Advaita Acharya and Haridas Thakur began to sing and dance in a very pleasant mood, though no one could understand why they were doing so.

Laughing again and again, they also went to the Ganga, and at that time Advaita Acharya took advantage of the lunar eclipse to distribute all kinds of charity to the brahmanas. Seeing how the whole world was deserted, Haridas Thakur spoke to Advaita Acharya with great astonishment: “Since it is clear to me that your dancing and charitable distribution are very pleasing to me, I understand that -you have something special. .”

This was Lord Krishna’s second wish, and his third wish expressed the thought as follows: “Everyone says that I am the receptacle of all Transcendent Bliss, and indeed the whole world to please myself alone. Who then can give me pleasure? I think only one who has

a hundred times more qualities than I, could please me, but such is impossible to find. “From this time, that is, from the age of 31, Mahaprabhu lived continuously in Puri, in the house of Kasi Misra, until he died at the time of sankirtana in the Tota-gopinatha temple at the age of 48.

During these 18 years his life was one of established love and piety, surrounded by a multitude of followers, all of whom were of the highest classes of Vaisnavas, distinguished from ordinary people by their character and doctrine, purity, firm religious principle, and spiritual love.

From Radha -Krsna Svarupa Damodara, who had the name Purusottamacarya during his tenure as Mahaprabhuna in Nadia, joined him from Benares and accepted the service of his secretary. The celebration begins with the Pallakki Utsava of Sri Nitai Gauranga (Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda).

The Utsava deities are taken to Pallakki in a procession with flowers in the middle of large garlands. After the procession, the deity Nitai Gauranga receives a grand abhisheka. Their Lordships are first blessed with panc
hamrita and then with panchagavya followed by various fruit juices.

Devotees chant prayers from the Brahma-Samhita in praise of the Lord. The great arati is performed to the accompaniment of the Gaura arati composed by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. After the arati, the deities are bathed with holy water from 108 kalashas and the devotees chant the Purusha Sukta prayers.

Their Lordships are then treated to a Pushpa vrishti (shower of fragrant flowers) and a special offering. The festival of Gaura Purnima is upon us again, and whether you’re physically there or not, we invite you to join us in the celebration!

I teach devotional service to others by practicing it personally, for no matter what makes a great personality, the common people follow. parts can reinforce religious principles for all ages, but I can offer the kind of loving devotional service that the people of Vraja do.”

“Now, after his tenth year, Caitanya became a skilled scholar of grammar, rhetoric, ‘smrti’ and ‘nyaya’. After this his elder brother Visvarupa left his house and accepted the ‘ashrama’ (status) of ‘sannyasi’ (ascetic) Although Caitanya was

a very young boy, he sympathized with his parents, saying that He would serve them in the hope of pleasing God. After that, his father left this world. His mother was very sorry and Mahaprabhu with his usual happy presence sympathized with his widowed mother. “Sri

Caitanya visited many places in South India as far as Cape Comorin and returned to Puri in two years to Pandepura on the Bhima. In this last place he spiritualized one Tukarama, who was a religious preacher of that time.

he acknowledged in his ‘adhangas’ compiled by Mr. Satyendra Nath Tagore of the Bombay Civil Service an opponent of Vaishnavism. “My eyes become completely satisfied when I look at Srimati Radaran, and yet when she looks at me, she feels even more satisfied. The whispering murmur of the bamboo trees rubbing against each other steals Radharani’s mind, as if her voice. She covers the tamala tree, doing me a mistake, and therefore she thinks

: “I have the cover of Krishna, and so now my life is fulfilled. When the wind carries the fragrance of my body to her, my Radharani becomes blinded by love and tries to fly into that wind. When she tastes the betel nut that I chew, she moves into the ocean of bliss, forgets everything else.”

Before the appearance of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu, Jagannath Mishra (formerly Nanda Maharaja) gave birth to eight daughters in the womb of Sachidevi (formerly Yashoda), but immediately after birth they all died. He was very guilty of losing his children, one after the other, Jagannath Mishra worshiped Lord Vishnu, wanting a son.

After that, Sachimata gave birth to a son named Vishvarup who was an incarnation of Lord Baladev. Delighted, mother and father began to serve Lord Govinda’s lotus feet with even greater zeal as they realized that their happiness was due to His grace.

“And yet in spite of the fact that my beauty is incomparable and gives pleasure to all who see her, the sight of Srimati Radharan gives joy to my eyes. Although the vibration of my flute attracts all in the three worlds, my ears .I. be enchanted by the sweet words uttered by Radharan While my body is fragrant to all creation

, The fragrance of Radharani’s limbs penetrates my mind and heart Radharani’s lips Even though my touch is colder than ten million moons, I will be reborn as Srimati Radharani. Therefore, despite the fact that I am the source of happiness for the entire world, Sri Radhika’s beauty and qualities are my life and soul.”

Then in the month of Maagh (February 18, 1486) in 1406, in the Shaka era, Lord Krishna entered the bodies of both Jagannath Mishra and Sachidevi. After that, Jagannath told his wife, “I see many wonderful things! Your body looks glowing, and the goddess of fortune seems to reside personally in our house. Wherever I go, everyone respects me, and even without asking. gives me money, cloth and grain.”

Sachimata replied, “I also see great and magnificent beings appearing in the sky, as if praying.” His biographies described in detail the journey of Krsna Caitanya (so named after His “Sannyasa”) from Santipura to Puri. He traveled along the Bhagirathi up to Chatrabhoga, now situated in Thana Mathurapura, Diamond Bay, 24 Parganas.

Then he took a boat and went as far as Prayaga-ghata in Midnapura district. From there he walked via Balasore and Cuttack to Pori until he saw the Bhuvanesvara temple on the way. When he came to Puri, he saw Jagannatha in the temple and lived with Sarvaabhauma at his request.

He performed miracles for his followers, taught the esoteric principles of ‘bhakti’ and chanted ‘Sankirta’ with other devotees. His followers in the city of Nadia started chanting the holy name of Hari in the streets and bazaars.

This created a sensation and evoked different feelings in different quarters. The ‘Bhaktas’ were very happy. The “clever Brahmanas” were jealous of Nimai Pandita’s success and complained to Chand Kaz about Caitanya’s character as a non-Hindu.

The Kazis came to the house of Srivasa Pandita and there broke the “mrdanga” (the “khola” of the drum) and declared that if Nimai Pandit did not stop making noise about him, he should be executed for the Mohammedan faith.

This was noticed by Mahaprabhu. Note that this Vaishnava calendar shows the holy days accordi
ng to the dates and times of Mayapur, India, the spiritual capital of the Gaudiya Vaishnavas. In this holy place Lord Sri Krishna appeared as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to mercifully liberate the fallen souls of this kali-yuga era.

Advaita Acharya thought, “Unless Lord Krishna appears in person and preaches the path of devotional service by his own example, liberation is possible for all. Therefore, I worship the Lord in a state of purified mind and constantly beseech him for all. In fact, my Advaita name is appropriate only if I can encourage Lord Krishna

to start the sankirtan movement to chant the holy name, the only religion of this age.” “Sri Radhika is the supreme abode of love, and I am its only object. I taste the bliss to which the object is entitled, but Radha’s pleasure is ten million times greater than mine. I have experienced the abode of love, though I can only if I can somehow live that love

for, I can experience that joy.” Jagannath Mishra then said, “In my dream I saw the abode of the Supreme Lord entering my heart. Then He entered your heart from my heart, so I understand that a great personality will be born soon.”

However, when Sachimata’s pregnancy was approaching its thirteenth month and there was still no sign of delivery, Jagannath Mishra became very worried. At that time, Nilambara Chakravarti made an astrological calculation and predicted that a child born in that month would benefit from an auspicious moment.

“In his eighth year he was admitted to the tola of Gangadasa Pandita at Ganganagara near the village of Mayapur. Within two years he became well-read in Sanskrit grammar and rhetoric. His own house where he received important books belonging to his father. , who was himself a “pandita” He seems to have read “smrti

” in his own study and “nyaya” also in competition with his friends who were then studying under the famous “pandita” Raghunatha Siromani. No poet or philosopher could be brought before Mahaprabhu unless Svarupa made him pure and useful. Raya Ramananda was his other friend. He and Svarupa

were chanting and Mahaprabhu expressed his views on a particular worship Paramananda Puri was the minister of religious affairs. There are hundreds of stories described by his biographers and we do not think it appropriate to repeat it here. Mahaprabhu slept a short sleep. He consoled him with a lecture on the uncertainty of human affairs. At his mother’s request he married Visnupriya,

Reg a daughter of Pandita Sanatana Misra, with His companions joined him when he returned from a pravasa or journey. He was now so famous that he was considered the best pandit in Nadia. Kesava Misra from Kashmir, who called himself Great Digvijay, came to Nadia to talk with the ‘pandita’ of that place.

Tola Nadia’s professors, fearing the so-called conquering pandita, left their homes pretending to be invited. Kesava met Mahaprabhu at the Barokona-ghata in Mayapur, and after a very brief conversation with him, the boy beat him, and the cause of death forced him to leave the camp.

Nimai Pandita was now the most important ‘pandita’ in his life. Sri Gaura Purnima is the auspicious day of appearance of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, also known as Gauranga because of his golden complexion. As stated in the scriptures, the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna appeared as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and taught the importance of devotion to Lord Krishna by congregationally chanting the holy names of God known as the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra.

He appeared on Phalguni Purnima, a full moon day in Phalguna (February-March) in 1486 AD (1407 Shakabda) at Sridham Mayapur as the son of Sri Jagannath Mishra and Srimati Sachidevi. His parents called him Nimai because he was born under a nimba tree in the yard of his father’s house.

This festival is also the beginning of the New Year for Gaudiya Vaishnavites. However, Advaita Acharya felt great pain to see how almost everyone in the world was devoid of Krishna consciousness and completely absorbed in material sense gratification.

Advaita Acharya, knowing that no one can attain liberation from the cycle of repeated birth and death without interest in the devotional service of the Lord, Advaita Acharya compassionately contemplated the ways in which people could be saved from the rebirth of Maya.
