Many people disregarded me in many different ways,all the way in my
life despite my best dealings with them&my support to them. I tried my
best and see it's all fun with the 24 material elements here. But what
can I do,all the perception is with these elements and to surpass this
is practically so hard without Your mercy. Whoever wants to take
whatever from me,let them take,because by giving(for Your cause) I
find happiness rather by taking(from You). And all the time I saw
there's none as best as You are My Lord.You've been with me@all hard
times&I expect much more harder times to take complete shelter of
You.This way You teach Me that there's no one better than You for
shelter/refuge. And that's what You wanted. These obstacles between us
cant last long. They'll get shattered by Your mercy soon.You are
always helping me to approach You but my most misfortune that I
disregarded You,but atlast found I am disregarded. I got back what I
had put. You are my only shelter!

O Madhava, You are my only shelter!

Beautiful Vrindavan

In Vrndavan the kadamba trees offer obeisances, their flowering branches reverently touching the ground. Bumble bees enjoy pastimes in Vrndavan, which is filled with a very sweet fragrance.

Radha and Krsna stay in the place where They enjoy pastimes. How beautiful They are. Their bodies are decorated with jewel ornaments, and They are wealthy with many gem mines of intelligence and wit.

When will I renounce the circle of material family life, and, drowning in transcendental bliss, go to Vrajabhumi? O Lord Hari, Lord Hari, when will this be?

When will I see Govardhana Hill, my eyes filling with tears? When will I reside at Radha-kunda? When, as a result of constantly wandering in Vrndavan, will this body fall down?

When will I become pure at heart by bathing in the waters of the Yamuna?

When will I circumambulate the land of Vraja, wandering from forest to forest? When, becoming fatigued, will I stop to rest on the shore of the Yamuna?

When will I be able to see the gardens of Vrndavan where the great devotees worshipped the Lord?

When will I find relief from the heat of midday by resting in the cooling shade of Vamsivata? When will I associate with the Vaisnavas in the groves of Vrndavana?

(Narottama dasa Thakur - Prarthana)

When will I renounce the circle of material family life, and, drowning in transcendental bliss, go to Vrajabhumi?

Utterance of the holy name while one engages in sense gratification is
an impediment on the path toward achieving ecstatic love for krishna.
On the other hand if one who is eager for devotional service utters
the holy name even partially or improperly, the holy name, which is
identical with the supreme personality of god head, exhibits its
spiritual potency because of that person's offenseless utterance. Thus
one is relieved from all unwanted practices and gradually awakens his
dormant love for krishna. CC.

Holy Name reveals Himself accordingly!

The Lord reciprocates with His devotees on the basis of transcendental
love not on the basis of the phiosophical knowledge or fruitive
activities. The gopis of vrndavana were neither highly learned
scholars nor mystic yogis. They had spontaneous love for the Lord, and
thus He became their heart and soul and gopis also became the heart
and soul of the Lord. Lord Caitanya approved the relationship of the
gopis with the Lord as supreme. SB 3.4.10 purport.

Loving Devotion

Vidyara Vilase

Friday, May 20, 2011, 4:14:48 PM | ISKCON Desire Tree

Book Name: Saranagati (Section: Dainya Song 2)
Author: Bhaktivinoda Thakur

(1)
vidyāra vilāse, kāṭāinu kāla,
parama sāhase āmi
tomāra caraṇa, nā bhajinu kabhu,
ekhona śaraṇa tumi

(2)
podite podite, bharasā bārilo,
jñāne gati habe māni'
se āśā biphala, se jñāna durbala,
se jñāna ajñāna jāni

(3)
jaḍa-vidyā jata, māyāra vaibhava,
tomāra bhajane bādhā
moha janamiyā, anitya saṁsāre,
jīvake koraye gādhā

(4)
sei gādhā ho'ye, saṁsārera bojhā,
bahinu aneka kāla
bārdhakye ekhona, śaktira abhāve,
kichu nāhi lāge bhālo

(5)
jīvana jātanā, hoilo ekhona,
se vidyā avidyā bhelo
avidyāra jwālā, ghaṭilo biṣama,
se vidyā hoilo selo

(6)
tomāra caraṇa, binā kichu dhana,
saṁsāre nā āche āra
bhakativinoda, jaḍa-vidyā chāḍi,'
tuwā pada kore sāra

 

1) With great enthusiasm I spent my time in the pleasures of mundane learning, and never worshiped Your lotus feet, O Lord. Now You are my only shelter.

 

2) Reading on and on, my hopes grew and grew, for I considered the acquisition of material knowledge to be life's true goal. How fruitless those hopes turned out to be, for all my knowledge proved feeble. Now I know that all such erudition is actually pure ignorance.

 

3) All the so-called knowledge of this world is born of the flickering potency of Your illusory energy (maya). It is an impediment to the  xecution of devotional service to You. Indulgence in mundane knowledge verily makes an ass of the eternal soul by encouraging his infatuation with this temporary world.

 

4) Here is one person who has been turned into such an ass, who for so long has carried on his back the useless burden of material existence. Now in my old age, for want of the power to enjoy, I find that nothing at all pleases me.

 

5) Life has now become agony, for my so-called erudite knowledge has proven itself to be worthless ignorance. Material knowledge has now become a pointed shaft and has pierced my heart with the intolerable, burning pain of ignorance.

 

6) O Lord, there is no treasure worth seeking in this world other than Your lotus feet. Bhaktivinoda abandons all his mundane knowledge and makes Your lotus feet the sum and substance of his life.
