I worship and serve Jvala-Nrsimha

 

“I worship and serve Jvala-Nrsimha, who has a bodily hue similar to the terrible fire that occurs at the time of destruction; who is situated on all ends of the hexagonal yantra; who is all-powerful and who is the god wearing a blazing garland.”

[ Visva-rupa-nrsimha-mantra, in the Sesa-samhita, page 201 ]

Your Fearless Hand

“O Lord who lies on the bed of Ananta Sesa! O Lord of the universe! O Nrsimha! O husband of Laksmi! O destroyer of the devotees fear! I am suffering from great distress due to drowning in the ocean of sinful activities and disease. So, kindly lend me Your fearless hand and give me protection!”

[ Hari-bhakti-vilasa, Vilasa 14, Texts 486-487 ]

Mayuri Gandharvika dasi

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BgtIaVSTxg

This is one of the ways I entered deeper into meditation on Lord Ramacandra on His appearance day, yesterday. It’s a newly recorded bhajan by Mayuri Gandharvika dasi, a 14 year-old rising kirtan star in our younger generation of ISKCON devotees in America.

Мои священные четки

,

Я проснулся сегодня утром, и ум унесся в мысли о том, что мне надо будет сделать и как именно. И тут я вспомнил санскритскую пословицу «шубхасйа шигхрам»: «Все благоприятное нужно делать как можно быстрее». Так что я взял свои священные четки для джапы и немедленно начал воспевать сладкие святые имена Господа Кришны.

 

Upon waking this morning my mind was racing with things I had to do and plans for accomplishing them. Then I remembered the Sanskrit proverb ‘subhasya sighram’ which means: “Whatever is auspicious should be carried out as quickly as possible.” So I reached for my sacred japa beads and immediately began chanting Lord Krsna’s sweet holy names.

Как принимать и почитать преданных

«Судама Випра был школьным товарищем Кришны. Поскольку он был очень беден, жена убедила его отправиться к Кришне просить о помощи. Когда Судама Випра добрался во дворец Кришны, Тот принял его очень хорошо. Выражая брахману почтение, Кришна вместе с женой омыл Судаме Випре стопы. Он помнил их нежную детскую дружбу и, принимая Своего дорогого гостя, прослезился”.
[Нектар преданности, глава 22]
How to Receive And Honor Devotees
“Sudama Vipra had been a class friend of Krsna’s, and due to his poverty, he was induced by his wife to see Krsna to request some aid. When Sudama Vipra reached Krsna’s palace, Krsna received him very well, and both He and His wife washed the feet of Sudama Vipra, showing respect to the brahmana. Remembering His loving affairs with Sudama in their childhood, Krsna began to shed tears while receiving him. [ Nectar Of Devotion, Chapter 22 ]

“The Supreme Lord who assumed the form of half-man, half-lion in the Satya-yuga to cure a dreadful disease that had devastated the daityas, and who appearing as Rama conquered the ten-headed Ravana in Treta-yuga, and who removed the burden of the earth in the Dvapara-yuga and protected the cowherd men of Vraja-pura, will be the Lord by the name of Caitanya in Kali-yuga. He will have a golden form and will take pleasure in chanting His own sweet holy names.”
