Caitanya Caritamrta - The Essence Of Everything!

(Kadamba Kanana Swami)

The Caitanya Caritamrta is the very essence of everything! The Caitanya
Caritamrta is the one book that provides us with our identity.

Sometimes when we are looking at the Pandavas and all of the other heroes
of the Mahabharata they are impressive. Arjuna can fight with ten thousand
men, and that's quite the number. Just think about it ten thousand is a
big number! He can singly defeat ten thousand men. Is there any Arjunas
here?

We are lucky if we can defeat one, right? I always say that there are two
types of people in this world those who are strong and those who are fast!
You know what I mean! With Bhima, do you realise that he is stronger then
Asterix and Obelix?

Do you realize that even Spiderman is nothing compared to Bhima, who is
stronger then ten thousand elephants. I saw Spiderman having a lot of
trouble stopping a train, but if you have strength of ten thousand
elephants then you just knock the train off the railway track! That is if
you want to.

So, my point is that although the heroes of the Mahabharata and the heroes
of the Bhagavatam are very amazing, with wonderful personalities. In some
ways they are further away from us, but when we look at Caitanya
Caritamrta, we find that we are dealing with devotees who are like us. Many
are grhasthas by maintaining their families, and yet they are chanting Hare
Krsna!

In the Caitanya Caritamrta, we are following the process of chanting Hare
Krsna, and by following the four regulative principles. Therefore, more
than anywhere else in the Caitanya Caritamrta, we find our identity as
practitioners. After all we are following the process of sadhana bhakti
this is also outlined in the teachings from Rupa and Sanatana, which are
very essential chapters in the Caitanya Caritamtra. In these teachings we
find how the process of sadhana bhakti is outlined – or devotional service
is practised. The Caitanya Caritamrta in particular addresses pure
devotional service, where one is naturally attracted to Krsna.

This World is a Fools Paradise!

(Kadamba Kanana Swami, 2005)

It's difficult to think that this world is paradise. Even on LSD the world
was a paradise – for a while and then it went the other way! I did take it
and I particularly know how it feels. It was in an exotic Country, and I
thought:

" I hope there are no snakes in these fields".

The next moment, I saw a whole field of snakes…all these snakes! The whole
field was full of snakes! I thought:

" Stay calm… turn around. Just turn your back and look the other direction!
Just look in the other direction!"

And there were no snakes on the other side…lucky. What if there would have
been snakes on the other side. It could have been easy to stay calm and
walk away. So, what can we say! Anyone who thinks that this world is
paradise….Srila Prabhupada says:

" He's right! This world is a paradise! It is…. fools paradise! It's a
fools paradise!"

So therefore, one who is looking for knowledge begins to think deeper and
sees that happiness is the distress in this world, and then says:

"What's the point in trying to enjoy it, when you are destined to get
distressed".

Therefore we want some liberation. We want some relief from this distress!

KKSblog.com - Caitanya Caritamrta – The Essence Of Everything!

When in childhood there's attachment to playing, in youth there's
attachment to the opposite se&family affairs, in oldage to worldly
problems in the society. When is the time to get attached to the
Lord&His service? Thats why Prahlad Maharaj says this Devotional
Service has to be cultivated from the tender age of 5yrs.

When to devote ourself to the Lord?

One may cleanse himself daily by taking a bath in water, but if one
takes a bath even once in the sacred Ganges water of Bhagavad-gita,
for him the dirt of material life is altogether vanquished.
(Gita-mahatmya 3)

Ganges@home?

Those who fix their minds on My personal form and are always engaged
in worshiping Me with great and transcendental faith are considered by
Me to be most perfect.
(Lord Sri Krsna - Bhagavad-gita 12.2)
