Happy Appearance Day of Sri Jahnava Devi and Mother Sita Devi and disappearance day of Sri Madhu Pandita!

(That's on May 4th)

Here's the Nectar!

Sri Jahnava Devi

Shri Nityananda’s two wives, Shri Vasudha and Shri Jahnava Devi, are expansions of Lord Balarama’s eternal consorts Varuni and Revati. Ma Jahnava, an affectionate name given by the Devotees, traveled throughout Gaura and Vraja mandalas. Wherever she went the Gaura bhaktas happily greeted and served her. Known as Nityananda-svarupini, Jahnava Devi overflowed with prema bhakti. She delivered many atheists and sinners by her compassionate preaching.

Shri Suryadas Sarkhel was a resident of Shaligram. He had five brothers – Damodara, Jagannatha, Gaura das, Krishna das and Nrsimha Chaitanya. He received the title “Sarkhel” because he used to keep the accounts for the king of Gaur desh. He had two daughters named Vasudha and Janhava, who was the youngest.

In Gaur-Ganoddesh-Dipika it is stated that they are the expansions of Varuni and Revati the eternal consorts of Lord Balaram and Suryadas Sarkhel, was an expansion of Kakudmir, the king of Raivat.

Once Mahaprabhu drew Prabhu Nityananda aside said to him, “If you also confine yourself to the austere life of a renunciate, then who will deliver the people who are immersed in maya? How will our work continue in this world? Therefore, please return to Gaudadesha and accept the householder way of life. You can continue to preach bhajan sankirtan and be the living example of love and devotion for materialistic people.”

Mahaprabhu urged Nityananda Prabhu to enter wedlock because He knew that Nityananda’s Shaktis had appeared and were waiting for him. One of them would play a critical role in keeping the movement alive in the future when They would disappear.

Nityananda arrived at the home of Suryadas along with his favourite disciple, Uddharan Dutta. “I wish to marry; please give your daughter’s hand in marriage to me” he said to Suryadas. But Suryadas did not agree as Nityananda had abandoned his Varna. Being rejected by Suryadas, Nityananda went back.

But what happened to Vasudha? Knowing that the omniscient Godhead wanted to espouse her, she became lovesick. And when He was turned away by the father, she lost consciousness. The doctor was called in, but she did not revive and soon after, went into a coma and died.

On getting this tragic news, Gouridas came and fell at the feet of his elder brother Suryadas. He asked Suryadas to call Prabhu Nityananda back as He alone could bring Vasudha back to life.

Vasudha’s body had been taken to the banks of the Ganga for the last rites. Nityananda appeared there and Suryadas fell flat at his feet. “Please bring my daughter back to life” he sobbed.

Nityananda said, “Only if you agree to give her in marriage to me, I will bring her back to life.” Suryadas agreed.

The gentle breeze from the transcendental body of Prabhu Nityananda touched the body of Vasudha. The divine fragrance of His body entered through her nostrils. Vasudha regained consciousness and gazed at Prabhu Nityananda will wide open eyes.

“Now arrange the marriage,” commanded Nityananda Prabhu. Suryadas replied, “Please undergo the Vedic purificatory rites and adorn the sacred thread.” Nityananda complied saying, “As you wish. I remain uninvolved. Today the only supreme ruler is Chaitanya Goswami.”

After the marriage, one day Nityananda Prabhu was taking his meal. Vasudha’s younger sister Janhava was serving the food. The veil covering Janhava’s head slipped and Nityananda saw her and realized that Janhava Devi was his complete energy – his shakti.

He told Suryadas, “Please give your younger daughter to me also as my wife.” Suryadas said, “I have nothing that I cannot give you. My wealth, caste, household and even my very life – everything is yours.”

Thus the marriage ceremony was very auspiciously performed and Nityananda Prabhu remained at Shaligram with his two newly wedded wives for a few days.

Thereafter He came to Shri Krishna das’s house at Borgachi, where He remained for a couple of days. Next He went to Navadwip. Along with his two wives He offered His obeisance at the feet of Sachi mata. Sachi Ma was extremely pleased to see them and showered her affection the new brides.

Then taking leave of Sachi mata, Nityananda went to Advaita Acharya’s house in Shantipur. Shri Sita Thakurani began to float in the ocean of bliss on seeing Vasudha and Janhava devi. Taking them in her lap she blessed the new brides.

Vasudha gave birth to eight sons and one daughter. Seven sons died one after the other. Only the daughter Ganga and the youngest son Virchandra or Virbhadra survived.

Soon after the birth of her two children, Vasudha passed away, and Janhava vowed to raise them as her own. Janhava did not bear any children. Virchandra was her special favourite.

As time passed, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu passed away and soon thereafter Nityananda Prabhu, Advaita Acharya, Shrivas Pandit and other associates of Mahaprabhu also disappeared. Janhava Ma continued their work and developed a reputation as a superlative Vaishnavi, embodying the ideals of devotion in the Gaudiya sampradaya.

She initiated her son Virbhadra as well as many other members of the Vaishnava community. Major figures in Mahaprabhu's lineage took shelter at her lotus feet, and personalities like Narottama Das Thakur, Shrinivas Acharya, and Shyamananda Prabhu accepted her as the most prominent Vaishnava in Bengal.

She was invited to the great festival of Kheturi and accorded the highest honour. On the first day of the Kheturi festival, the Devotees requested Janhava Ma to take charge of all the festivities. This she did, making sure that kirtan was going on with full enthusiasm that the Deities were being worshiped with elaborate splendor, and that devotional games commemorating Krishna’s pastimes were being enjoyed by the mass of participants – and there were thousands.

On that grand occasion, the first recorded observance of the birth anniversary of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu after His disappearance, six Deities were installed. After the installation of the Deities Janhava Ma asked Shrinivas Acharya to distribute garlands and sandalwood paste amongst the Devotees. Thereafter, she also accepted a garland and sandalwood paste. Then she directed the kirtan to begin.

Kheturi was flooded with waves of divine love ! Shriman Mahaprabhu was a lover of hymns and He appeared at the scene with His associates. For a minute, everyone beheld a lightening flash of the divine halo of Godhead. Then it disappeared.

The sankirtan party was filled with grief as Mahaprabhu disappeared. Where have they all gone? Everyone was there, Advaita, Nityananda, Shrivas, Murari, Haridas, Gadadhar, Vakreshwar. Even Swarup Damodar, Ramananda, Sarvabhauma and Narahari !! Where did they go?

Janhava said, “This is the grace of Mahaprabhu on Narottam and Shrinivas. He has fulfilled His promise. Wherever there is naam sankirtan, there He appears. Now start the smearing of Phagu (colour).

Janhava entered the Temple and smeared the Deity of Mahaprabhu with Phagu. Everyone started throwing colour – not merely between human beings but between Devotees and God.

After the evening pooja and aarti, Janhava said to Shrinivas, “now please perform the birth anniversary of Shri Gauranga.”

Next morning after taking her bath and performing puja, Janhava Ma started cooking the Prasad. After offering the bhog she distributed it among all the Devotees and herself honoured the Maha Prasad only after everyone else was fed.

The following day she told Narottam Das Thakur, “Now I will go to Vrindavan.” Accompanied by relatives Krishna Sarkhel, son-in-law Madhavacharya, Gopal Parmeshwari Das and others, she set off to Vrindavan.

During the journey several miraculous events occurred. En route, some envious people of one village where the group halted wanted to harm them while they were sleeping in the night. The presiding Deity of their village Goddess Chandi appeared in their dream and chastised them severely for even thinking of harming Janhava Ma. “Janhava is a Goddess. Beg forgiveness and take refuge of her or else, I will destroy all of you” said the Goddess. The repentant men fell at Janhava’s feet and pleaded for mercy.

On another occasion during the journey some dacoits wanted to rob them. They waited till the night and started walking to the river bank where the pilgrims’ party was asleep. As they walked, the path kept stretching endlessly but they could not reach the sleeping Devotees. Finally at dawn they realized what had happened and ran and fell at Janhava Ma’s feet. These dacoits were converted into Vaishnava Devotees.

Although Janhava Ma journeyed to Vraja after the Kheturi festival, she did go to Vraja one or two times before. On her first trip it is said that Rupa Goswami himself explained the literature to her at this time. Gradually, she developed a methodical plan to create solidarity between the Vaishnavas of Bengal and those of Vraja, and she accomplished this quite effectively during her few visits to the land of Krishna’s pastimes.

Janhava Ma converted Muslims to Mahaprabhu's Vaishnavism and endeared herself to the Gaudiya Devotees throughout India. The Six Goswamis treated her with the utmost respect, and Raghunath Das Gosvami, in particular, was grateful for her association. He spent a good deal of time showing her the area of Radha-kunda, and the two of them took every opportunity to dance in ecstasy.

One day at noon, Janhava heard the enchanting melody of the flute on the bank of Shri Radha kunda. Thrilled, she looked around. And behold, she saw the graceful three-fold bending form of Shri Krishna beneath the Kadamba tree playing on His sweet Murali, and surrounding Him was Shrimati Radharani and the Gopis. Beholding this beatific vision, Janhava Ma fell into a trance.

When Janhava Thakurani saw Rama Ghat, the area along the banks of the Yamuna where Balarama enjoyed a rasa dance of His own, her spiritual rapture knew no bounds. She had mystic visions throughout her life and received divine guidance from Nityananda Prabhu long after He left this world.

Once, in a vision, she saw the Gopinatha Deity and His little Radha companion, who told her to replace the Radha Deity with one that was larger. This mission she took back with her to Bengal and finally journeyed back to Vrindavan with the new Deity of Shri Radha. When the Deity reached Vrindavan, it had to be decided where the original smaller Deity would be placed. The king of Jaipur took charge of the original Deity. The new Deity was installed on the left of Shri Gopinatha and the new one was called “Janhava Radhika”.

When Janhava Ma saw the lovely form of Gopinatha with two Radhikas – one of either side of Him – it appeared as if a dark Tamal tree was being embraced by two loving creepers. She then dedicated all the offerings that she had brought from Gaud to Radha Gopinatha. She lovingly fed them preparing savoury items with her own hands.

One day she entered the Temple alone and the Temple door closed behind her. Shri Gopinatha caught hold of Janhava’s garment and pulled her making her sit on His left. When the Devotees opened the door of the Temple, they found Janhava transformed in a golden Deity manifest on Gopinath’s right side!

The Vamshishiksha says that Janhava Ma left this world by merging into the Deity of Lord Gopinatha in Vrindavan.

At the time of Janhava's departure from the mortal world, her beautiful manifestation as Ananga Manjari, standing in a dancing pose at Krishna’s right side, was emphasized by Nityananda Prabhu's most intimate followers. This "Ananga-Kanai-Rai," the worshipful devotion of Radha's younger sister along with Radha and Krishna together, remains the focus of Devotees coming in the line of Janhava Devi.

Shri Janhava Thakurani opened Vaishnavism up to women in a way that broke all boundaries, allowing them equal footing with men in terms of service, devotion, accomplishment and the ability to rise to the highest level of perfection.

Manor Garden Report - Bhaktivedanta Manor - Hare Krishna Temple Watford UK As anyone who gardens knows, the end of winter and beginning of spring can be a harsh time weather-wise. Despite multiple ‘big freezes’ and gloomy weather, Bhaktivedanta Manor’s garden team, alongside devotee volunteers and WWOOFers have been working hard outside. Throughout the winter they have collected fallen leaves to keep the roads and drains clear. These leaves are then used as mulch in the Manor’s various gardens or composted for later use. They have removed some older trees around the property, which had become dangerous. Prema das finished off the drainage stream to prevent the driveway from flooding following very wet weather. They have also been preparing the gardens and polytunnels for the growing season, keeping the roads and paths safe in icy conditions. Over the last three months they have also planted over 300 trees, such as Rowan, Oak, Silver Birch, Hazel and Wild Cherry, throughout the grounds. These trees were kindly donated by Delrow House and eager volunteers managed to plant them all in just 2-days! They were also given a huge donation of shrubs and flowering bulbs by the local charity Gratitude: Bluebells, Tulips of many varieties, Hyacinths, Daffodils, Iris, Crocus and Allium bulbs. As the weather warms up, visitors will notice these spring beauties along the driveway and in various areas around the Manor. In total they managed to plant over 10,000 bulbs and 500 shrubs and plants. “The garden team would like to again thank all who helped out over the past few months, and we look forward to working on some more projects with our enthusiastic volunteers, in hopefully, some warmer weather! Hare Krishna!” exclaimed Head Gardener Narahari Rupa das. To read the complete article and/or watch the video please click here: https://bit.ly/3ZXCJlj

#Portuguese 08.feb.23 www.sathyasai.org.br *Pensamento para o dia 08/02/2023* A devoção e a sabedoria são como o par de bois da carroça. Ambos têm que puxá-la em sincronia. Cada um deve acompanhar o ritmo do outro e ajudá-lo a puxar a carga mais rapidamente. Da mesma forma, a sabedoria tem que ajudar a aumentar a devoção e esta deve contribuir para o crescimento da sabedoria. Foi devido a essa ajuda mútua, a essa colaboração, que as vaqueirinhas de Brindavan foram capazes de alcançar a liberação, pois a sua devoção ao Senhor Krishna dotou-as com a mais elevada sabedoria. Ora, a essência da devoção, assim como a da sabedoria, é a paz – o tipo mais sublime de paz, a Paz Suprema (Prashanti). Ela conduz o indivíduo à glória da refulgência espiritual e desta à super-refulgência da mais elevada revelação. A sabedoria é concomitante à devoção, a sua parte componente. O amor fixado em Deus é extremamente benéfico. Produz o bem maior. Ele não prende as pessoas à Terra. Leva-as pela mão ao longo do caminho da liberação. _(Prema Vahini, cap. 27)_ Sri Sathya Sai Baba #sathyasai #saibhakta #sathyasaibaba #saibaba https://www.instagram.com/p/CobJ8vbMEHu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Krishna Das

Breath of the Heart

2001

Hoy recomiendo un trabajo que no puede faltar en las playlist de #CirculoPranico. Krishna Das (KD) es un norteamericano de 74 años que parece de 50. Este discípulo de Ram Dass debutó en la música devocional el año 1996. KD es una voz solista intercalada con un coro grande que suena muy bien. Se hace acompañar con un armonio, violines, tablas, citara y entre otros instrumentos no necesariamente de la India.

El estilo de este disco se llama Kīrtana, que no es otra cosa que la repetición melódica de mantras, pasajes de escrituras hinduistas o nombres de Dios. El propósito de esta forma musical es despertar altas voliciones espirituales (प्रेम prema), actitud que no puede faltar en ceremonias ni meditaciones. Breath of the heart contiene 6 himnos hermosos que cumplen este propósito. Al cabo de pocos segundos de cada pista comprendemos con el alma la vitalidad de este lenguaje musical que invita a cantar y bailar hasta el samādhi.

Cabe mencionar que el músico está presente en varias plataformas de música streaming. Recomiendo también una vista a su sitio web, aquí encontrarás mucha información, siendo la más relevante la letra y traducción de cada himno, permitiendo que cualquier persona de cualquier parte del mundo acceda a este Bhakti Yoga.

Recuerdo cuando lo vi aquí en Chile el 2011 con una puesta en escena sencilla, pero internamente fue una gran fiesta espiritual. KD es 100% recomendable.

☀ SHRI NITYANANDA RAMA ☀

“Nityananda Prabhu offers this pure love of Godhead, indiscriminately. It is pure love of Krishna that is rarely obtained. He distributes this prema with two hands! Two hands! He never discriminates whether one is patita or pamara, most degraded, qualified or not qualified. Nitai gives it indiscriminately.”~Nitai Guna-Mani amar, Locana Das Thakura

Ella es Chinnamasta deidad del Tantra es una de las formas de Kali , ella representa el Samadhi que se alcanza en el Tantra a través de perder la cabeza (es decir la mente) a través del amor más puro que está representado por la pareja divina en unión sexual ( Radha Krishna) , una figura con toda la estética del Shaktismo que representa el beneficio de la renuncia a las conceptos equivocados y los tabúes , del dolor que pueda implicar el camino del proceso de abandonar todo lo creemos haber aprendido pero da el beneficio de guiarnos a la espiritualidad a través del amor divino más puro el PREMA.

Chinnamasta es incomprendida en occidente y prohibida en senderos Vaisnavas por su estética y su proceso de renuncia a los métodos religiosos., Es lo que sé pero no hay mucha información en español o ingles , si alguien tiene más datos que me complemente o me pueda corregir les agradezco mucho 📷📷.

For the Yogi, Night is Day, and Day is Night: Gita, Chapter 2, Verse 69 — Inversion of Day and Night

The Bhagavad Gita in Chapter 2, Verse 69 describes an enigmatic reversal of day and night in the life of a Yogi.

verse-02–69–01

“ya nisha sarva-bhutanam tasyam jagarti samyami yasyam jagrati bhutani sa nisa pasyato muneh”

“That which is day to the many is night to the sage, That which is night to the many is day to the sage.”

In ordinary life, the five senses in Man seek to alleviate their thirst by participating in social life. In such cases, the waking consciousness is the day (i.e. the place of activity) while the inner worlds are dark like the night.

In case of a Yogi/Yogini, the situation becomes inverted when the doorways to the subtle worlds are opened because then the inner worlds burn brightly and are full of activity (i.e. the day) while the waking state seems dull and boring (i.e. the night).

Revival of Free Premabhakti Distribution is Now!!!

The heart is like a mirror but it’s covered up with so much layers of dirt, thick like the Himalayan mountain; huge amount of dirt is there accumulated from many, many lakhs of lives. How it will be cleansed up? Any material scientist can cleanse it? They don’t know how to clean. They may clean the intestines, but they cannot cleanse the heart from this material contamination accumulated there from time immemorial. The process is, you engage yourself in hari-sankirtan, chanting ‘Hare Krishna’ then your heart becomes cleansed of all contaminations there, all layers of dirt are finished.” Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami Maharja, 

Purport by Srila Gaurahari Das: CC Ādi 8.16 — If one is infested with the ten offenses in the chanting of the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra, despite his endeavor to chant the holy name for many births, he will not get the love of Godhead that is the ultimate goal of this chanting. The above statement of  Sri Srimad Gour Govinda Swami Maharja, is certainly true yet is the external or surface meaning. One who just follows this instruction, without deeper understanding, it will take one many lifetimes, due to ones offenses, to get the desired result of Krishna prema as almost all vaishnava gurus conclude. Practically we see that from the followers of Srila Bhaktisidanta, and Srila Prabhupada hardly more than one person can we say may have attained this rare gift of Premabhakti. Therefore, inorder to speed up the process of attaining the valuable jewel of Premabhakti in this lifetime one must undertand a great secret…  In the following verse the great secret is revealed and our explanation here unlocks this mysterious confidential truth for all who listen attentively. 

CC Ādi 8.21 — Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, as the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself, is fully independent.

Therefore, although it is the most confidentially stored benediction, He can distribute love of Godhead to anyone and everyone without consideration. When Lord Caitanya appeared in this world with his confidential associates 500 years ago he freely distributed devotion to Krishna or prema bhakti so that engaging in hearing and chanting the Holy Name would cause ecstatic devotional love for Krishna to arise in ones heart. He then disappeared from our external vision and continued the distribution of his confidential treasure of Love of God through empowered Spiritual Masters like Srinivasa, Narotama and Syamananda. Then quickly the great jewel of love of God wained  in its distribution due to lack of personal associates being sent to continue the distribution of premabhakti. To begin this Bhakti movement of free distribution of prema or ecstatic devotion, which makes worshiping Krishna name every transcendentally sweet, he empowers his devotees.  They relish premabhakti themselves and due to this, are naturally empowered to distribute it to others who believe in their preaching and ecstatic mode of worship. So by good fortune this free distribution of devotion to Krishna is going on at the time of this writing here in our humble sanga. The first fruits of this unprecedented revival of premabhakti worship of Krishna can be practically seen in our witnesses who have recieved this wonderful mercy flowing through our grace place. Proof is in the pudding and people can say they don’t believe it because no one else is able to distribute this outstanding mercy but the proof his here in the witnesses personal testimonies of their experiences of following this path taught here.

Body turn in to milk !! Śrīla Narottamadas thakur disappearance day : Srila Narottama Das Thakur, who is fortunate to receive the property of Krishna Prema, directly from Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu , is a great Acharya in the line of Gaudiya Vaisnava discplic succession . During his incredible disappearance pastime Narottam Dasa Thakura asked his disciples to bring him to the Ganges and pour the water on his body with their bare hands. While bathing they saw his skin turn white and it started to melt. Touched by the water of the Ganges, his body was turning into milk and was just merging into the Ganges They saw their Gurudev was getting smaller slowly melting away. While bathing their hearts were breaking in pain and sadness and shedding tears, but they couldn’t stop, because their guru ordered them, they had to follow the order of their guru. As they were pouring water on his body, his body merging into the Ganges, it was also tears more than milk, to watch their guru pass away in front of their own eyes. It was just milk and tears flowing on and on as an offering unto mother Ganga, until finally he disappeared. The disciples took that milk mixed with tears and Ganga water and put it in a big pot and brought it to a place near Kheturi, where Narottama Dasa Thakura lived and built a beautiful Samadhi for him.

We were present in Srila Prabhupada’s room sometime before he passed away and one day Prabhupada started speaking with the spirit of nostalgia. Srila Prabhupada was thinking about his old days in Vrindavan. He said “I was so happy living there. I had my room at Radha Damodar and everyday I was having darshan of my Lord Radha Damodar, I was perfectly satisfied. Easily I could stay there for the rest of my life, because I was already at such an advanced age. But my Guru Maharaja and Krishna had different plan.” And because he had such firm faith in the instruction of Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur, He left Vrindavan. That history all of you know as much as I. How much inconvenience Prabhupada underwent. But he had absolute faith “My Guru wants it, therefore I must do it. My Guru wanted this preaching to spread therefore I must do it”. So He had this Guru Nishtha. And Srila Prabhupada also have had nishtha or firm faith for the Holy Names of Krishna. He had these two things and with that alone look at what Srila Prabhupada did. Just because He had so much firm faith. Sri Guru carane rati ese uttama gati. The lotus feet of the spiritual master, indicating the instructions of the spiritual master, they can award us the highest goal of life. Srila Narottama das Thakur is explaining in Prema Bhakti Chandrika that a devotee is very very confident, he should be perfectly sure, he should not have a particle of doubt, that if he will follow his guru’s instructions - he will attain the highest perfection in life.

Portuguese, 26.MAR.2020 Om Sri Sai Ram *Pensamento para o dia 26/03/2020* As preces dos nobres e virtuosos atuam como um convite até para o advento do Senhor. No mundo externo, quando as pessoas comuns necessitam de alguma conveniência, elas entram em contato com as autoridades e fazem sua solicitação. Da mesma forma, no reino interno, quando não há possibilidade de alcançar ou de se obter devoção, caridade, paz e verdade, os nobres e virtuosos, que anseiam pelo crescimento dessas qualidades, oram ao Senhor. Então, ouvindo suas preces, Ele próprio vem e derrama Sua Graça. Esse fato é bem conhecido. Muitos leram no Ramayana e no Bhagavata: Rama e Krishna encarnaram porque o Senhor escutou as preces dos sábios, não é? Até mesmo o Santo Ramakrishna, apesar de ter um nascimento divino, orou à Deusa Kali para que enviasse alguém que pudesse pregar para o mundo inteiro o código de conduta (dharma) que desenraizasse a injustiça e o egoísmo. Assim, preces devem ser oferecidas muitas e muitas vezes para a realização dessa tarefa, sem ficar desesperado e sem desistir caso as preces não tragam resultados imediatamente.
