Again those SAFFRON PARTICLES
.....
We must get up from this slumber and engage in the right service, for thus we can properly utilize the facility of this human form of life. As expressed in a song by Ṭhākura Bhaktivinoda, Lord Caitanya says, jīva jāgo, jīva jāgo. The Lord asks every sleeping living entity to get up and engage in devotional service so that his mission in this human form of life may be fulfilled. This awakening voice comes through the mouth of a pure devotee.
A pure devotee always engages in the service of the Lord, taking shelter of His lotus feet, and therefore he has a direct connection with the saffron mercy-particles that are strewn over the lotus feet of the Lord. Although when a pure devotee speaks the articulation of his voice may resemble the sound of this material sky, the voice is spiritually very powerful because it touches the particles of saffron dust on the lotus feet of the Lord. As soon as a sleeping living entity hears the powerful voice emanating from the mouth of a pure devotee, he immediately remembers his eternal relationship with the Lord, although up until that moment he had forgotten everything.
For a conditioned soul, therefore, it is very important to hear from the mouth of a pure devotee, who is fully surrendered to the lotus feet of the Lord without any material desire, speculative knowledge or contamination of the modes of material nature. Every one of us is kuyogī because we have engaged in the service of this material world, forgetting our eternal relationship with the Lord as His eternal loving servants. It is our duty to rise from the kuyoga platform to become suyogīs, perfect mystics. The process of hearing from a pure devotee is recommended in all Vedic scriptures, especially by Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. One may stay in his position of life — it does not matter what it is — but if one hears from the mouth of a pure devotee, he gradually comes to the understanding of his relationship with the Lord and thus engages in His loving service, and his life becomes completely perfect. Therefore, this process of hearing from the mouth of a pure devotee is very important for making progress in the line of spiritual understanding....

Sayarsi dasa: One of my god-brothers named Maha-mantra, took sannyasa within Isckon society and is now living in New Vrindavan. He talks about and follows the path of sakhya rasa. He says that Srila Prabhupada is a priya-narma-sakha.
Is it possible for Srila Prabhupada to be a manjari and at the same time train his disciples who are in sakhya- rasa?
Srila Narayana Goswami Maharaja: All rasas- santa ,dasya, sakhya, vatsalya, and madhurya are present in the gopi"s madhurya mood. The gopis can manifest santa, dasya, sakhya, vatsalya and madhurya.
Sayarsi dasa: Is it okay for a particular disciple whose stayi-bhava maybe in sakhya-rasa to see Srila Prabhupada as a PRIYA NARMA COWHERD BOY?
Srila Narayan Goswami Maharaja: SOMEONE CAN THINK LIKE THAT, IF HE DESIRES BUT HE IS QUITE WRONG- WRONG, AND WRONG AND WRONG !!!!
Brajanath dasa : That sannyasi quotes from Jaiva Dharma, where Vijay Kumar and Vrajanath see their guru in two different ways. One sees him as a manifestation of Subal as Priya-narma -sakha, and the other sees him as an intimate sakhi of Srimati Radhika.
Srila Narayana Goswami Maharaja: Actually, pujyapada Srila Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja has come in line of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Srila Rupa Goswami, so HE MUST BE LIKE THEM. He has written this in his books"
Sripad Bhagavat Maharaja: He has written that " I am a servant of Srimati Radhika"
Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaja in Auckland New Zealand 2008...word for word. ..
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu gives to others not ragatmika but raganuga, what is raganuga-
following of or practicing to have that siddha bhava, raganuga is sadhan marg, in this world and when it will be matured( siddha)they will go there to Goloka Vrndavana and with rag they will serve there, so raganuga- and ragatmika there is so much difference, one is sadhan and other one is siddha, so also you should know, there is anuga mood, that is Rupa marga, all Rupa nuga are raga marga all top to bottom but all raganugas are not Rupa nugas , only those who will follow, Srila Rupa Goswami internal mood outwardly as Rupa Goswami and inwardly like Rupa Manjari, they are only Rupa nuga, without Rupa nuga, radha dasya can't be achieved so Chaitanya Mahaprabhu with this gave special mood to special jivas in this world, otherwise it was never heard and never seen in this world. ...gourpremanande haribol. .joy nitay kripa koro ke

The practice of sadhana bhakti that is directed to pleasing Lord Sri Krishna should be cultivated both externally
and internally. Both external and internal practices are important, and are meant to be performed
simultaneously.
The preaching of the Holy Names of the Lord in context with the sankirtan movement of Lord Chaitanya
Mahaprabhu forms the external reason for the Lord’s descent into this world, according to Srila Krishna Das
Kaviraj in his Chaitanya Charitamrita.
The internal reason that Krishna Das Kaviraj takes to be the main cause for Sri Krishna Chaitanya’s avatar will
be discussed in the following.
It is a fact that this avatar of Sri Krishna has come for the purpose of giving prema in connection with the
preaching of the Lord’s holy names. But this is the external reason for the Lord’s appearance. Now please
listen, for there is another reason, which is deep and internal. (CC 1.4.5-6)
Five hundred years ago, Svayam Bhagavan Vraja-vihari Sri Krishna incarnated on the bank of the Ganges River
in Sri Nabadwip Dham, West Bengal, India.
In this avatar as Sri Chaitanya Deva, he brought about a new upsurge or spiritual renaissance into the world of
Krishna bhakti. Covering his opulences, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu accepted the role of a devotee of Sri Krishna
in order to fulfill three most esoteric desires that was not able to relish as the Supreme Lord of Goloka
Vrindavan.
In transcendental loving reciprocation between the Lord and his devotees, it is a fact that the servitor can
experience an even greater multitude of ambrosia through service to the Lord than the Lord experiences
himself. For this reason, Sri Krishna wanted to sample for himself what it is like to be a servitor of Sri Krishna. To
do so he appeared in this world from the womb of Mother Sachi, just as the moon rises from the ocean. Then,
by taking on the mood and complexion of his topmost devotee, Srimati Radharani, he proceeded to taste three
most internal esoteric desires that were still unfulfilled:
(1) What is the depth or extent of the prema Radha possesses for me?
(2) And with her prema how does Srimati Radharani view my spectacular sweetness?
(3) And when she realizes the depth of my incredible sweetness, what does it taste like to her?
This is the meaning of the sixth sloka in the Chaitanya Charitamrita, which Srila Krishna Das Kaviraj extracted
from the confidential diary of Svarupa Damodar Goswami, the personal secretary of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
That sloka is as follows:
Lord Krishna has appeared as Lord Chaitanya out of the womb of Sachi Devi, like the moon appears from the
ocean; endowed with the loving mood of Srimati Radharani Herself, He has come in order to fulfill three desires:
to know the glories of Radha’s love for Him, to relish His own beauty and sweetness through Her eyes, and to
experience the happiness She feels through Her love for Him. (CC 1.1.6)
Krishna Das Kaviraj begins his explanation of this verse in the fourth chapter of Chaitanya Charitamrita with the
following words:
Now let me speak about the principal reason for Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s appearance: (1) to personally
taste the essence of prema rasa, and in connection with this, (2) to distribute raganuga bhakti to the devotees.
(1.4.13-15)
From these two main internal desires, Sri Krishna, who is the chief of all rasika persons and supremely merciful,
has advented himself as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
With the help of Chaitanya Charitamrita, let us now have a look into the Lord’s personal motivation for coming;
to taste the essence of prema rasa.”
Krishna began to consider, “I am filled with bliss, and my very body is the form of all transcendental mellows.
Everyone in the universe experiences happiness through me. But is there anyone who can give me pleasure?
If there were a person who possessed hundreds of times more qualities than Myself, such a person could bring
me happiness. To find a person who has more qualities than myself in this universe is impossible. Only in the
case of Radha do I consider this possible. (1.4.238-41)
Krishna further elaborates:
Even if I had hundreds of mouths still I could not begin to describe the pleasure that Radharani experiences
from my association. And I become spellbound and even forget myself when I see the pleasure she derives
from our lovemaking. The guru of the rasa shastra, Sri Bharata Muni acknowledges that in loving affairs, the
enjoyment of both the man (nayaka) and the woman (nayika) are equal, but he knows nothing about my Vraja
rasa. The happiness I feel when I am with Radha is a hundred times greater than the joy I get from others.
(1.4.254-7)
Krishna continues,
I know for sure that there is one particular taste that has subjugated my mohini Sri Radha. That type of
pleasure that she experiences from me drives me mad. Even though I carefully try, I am not able to experience
her happiness, for just the mere scent of the sweetness of her happiness causes a great hankering within my
mind.
Therefore as Chaitanya avatar, I will come to taste the sweetness of these various mellows of preme, and at
the same time, I will establish what is the standard of raganuga bhakta and his bhakti through the example of
my own pastimes. (1.4.261-265)
This brings us to the second point of the main reason Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared in this world: “to
preach raganuga bhakti to the devotees.”
Krishna continues to speak from Chaitanya Charitamrita,
In this world people are enamored of opulence. The worship or love of such persons who are conscious of my
majesty is not especially to my liking.
That person who worships me as the Supreme Lord and considers himself to be an inferior cannot conquer me
with his love.
The whole universe may worship me by the process of vidhi bhakti, but vidhi bhakti does not possess the
potency to give the bhakta entrance into an understanding of the Vrindavan mood.
One good example of this is Lakshmi, who even though she worshiped Krishna and tried, still she could not
attain to the service of the son of Nanda in Vrindavan because of her attachment to opulence.
Sri Krishna goes on to say,
On the other hand, those devotees who consider me to be their son, friend or lover and worship me with pure
bhakti, thinking me to be their equal or inferior, are able to subjugate me with their loving affection.
My Mother thinks I am her naughty child and sometimes binds me as her son. She nourishes and protects Me,
thinking Me utterly helpless. My friends may climb on my back and say with pure affection, “What makes you
think you’re so big? You and I are equals.” And if some gopi chastises me in jealous loving anger, those words
steal away my mind much more than any reverent recital of Vedic hymns. (1.4.24-26)
By the influence of Yogamaya, the gopis will relate to me as their paramour. Giving up all varieties of religion,
they worship me with deep, pure attachment. Providence may sometimes unite and sometimes separate us,
but whatever the case may be, we are forever attracted and spellbound by each others’ forms and qualities.
(1.4.29-31)
Sri Krishna concludes by saying—
Yes, I will take such pure devotees with me and I will descend into this world manifesting such wonderful lilas
that are not even known to the residents of Vaikuntha.
In this way of preaching (by tasting all the mellows of my Vrindavan associates, I shall bestow mercy on the
devotees of the world, because when they hear about the pure moods and rasas of my Vrindavan associates,
they too will want to join, and after giving up all other forms of religion and activity, will take to the path of
raganuga bhakti. ((1.4.30-33)
2. Bhagavat & Jaiv Dharma say that only the most intelligent & non-crooked accept & chant Gauranga mantra from shastra as it's hidden like Gaur
3. Nitai & Bhaktivinod awakened a rock like me to preach Nityananda & Gauranga Nam openly & widely. I hope more qualified preachers will do so.
4. As only Harinam may take billions of years to give us love, Balai & Kanai came as Nitai & Nimai with Their Names which give love in few days
5. Staunch faith is Gauranga's name comes just before enlightenment as we get it after worshiping Radha Krishna for atleast a 100 lives in Vraj
6. Krpasiddhi means chanting Nityananda Gauranga Nam since if one does so Krsnaprem seeks out him or her in few days. No other faster shortcut.
7. I know that even if the whole world leaves me & Gaur Radha Krishna reject me as unqualified, Nitai will somehow lift & bring me before Them.
8. I can feel the causeless mercy and hope in Nityananda's name due to which I can now hope to attain the unattainable Goloka in this very life
9. All our temporary worldly problems & worrries are insignificant in front of the Vrajprem Nityananda Gauranga Nam grant us in this very life.
10. One who comes to Radha Kund becomes famous in creation as demigods shower flowers and Radha begins thinking how to bring that soul to Her.
1. To the extent of your faith in Nitai, Gaur will accept you. And to the extent Gaur accepts you, the gopis will bring you to Radha Krishna. 2. It is futile to approach Radha Krishna without sufficient faith in Nitai Gaur. We can never attain Vraja if we don't aspire for Navadvipa. 3. There is only one thing lacking in this world. It is Nitai Gaur consciousness. It can grant each soul everything including RadhaKrishna prem 4. I raise my hands & request all to read Chaitanya Bhagavata repeatedly as it's the only way to understand & get Nityananda's causeless mercy. 5. To the extent you aspire to enter into the Navadvipa pith of Golok, you will automatically find yourself in the Vrajapith without any effort. 6. Without Nitai Gaur, the spiritual creation would be unattainable for the zillions of fallen souls in the 3.942 trillion material universes. 7. Did u know Lalita opened her eyes only when Rupa & Ananga introduced Kamal manjari (Bhaktivinod) as Gaurvadi & gave her a kunj in Radha Kund 8. Our Kamal (Bhaktivinod) & Nayan (Bhaktisiddhant) manjaris can give us our siddhdeha & nityalila. No need to go to those who may not be there. 9. When our Bhaktivinod & Bhaktisiddhant said that they are Kamal & Nayan manjaris resp., they did not manufacture it but were situated in it. 10. Some say, try to know Krishna first before going to Nitai & Gaur but aray baba They are Balaram & Krishna Themselves & They give you Krishna. 11. I like to be with devotees who are partial to Nitai Gaur as I know that they are the real ones who will get Radha Krishna in this very life. 12. If you don't feel love for Nitai Gaur then force yourself to love Them because that is your only hope & only chance to attain Radha Krishna. 13. The attraction we feel for RadhaKrishna without full faith in Nitai Gaur is only a figment of our imagination. It'll never give us Krsnaprem 14. Millions of worshipers of Radha Krsna don't attain Them for millions of lives as they are not lucky to be born in same Kaliyug as Nitai Gaur 15. I dont want to be a jack of all & master of none. Let my every sec be focussed only on instilling faith in Nitai Gaur in hearts of all souls 16. I know that all souls may not develop faith in Nitai Gaur in one life. But I want to plant this highest & confidential faith seed in souls. 17. I have have written 16 tweets today as an offering to Nitai Gaur. May all the swanlike devotees of Nitai Gaur relish them. 18. Radha Kund surprises me at every second. Those whom I think about here write something immediately. No wonder as it includes all of creation 19. Just because it's named after Radha Herself, Radha Kund grants the highest benediction to the whole creation what to speak of it's qualities
