One should take shelter of Lord Gorahari in order to obtain the great love that is sacred to the Vedas and is rare even to the Demigodsya. Drishtiyapi Apara Aparichita Purvam muni Varai Navishrambas Chite Yadi Yadicha Durlab Paritya Paritya Sharanam Goracha Goracharanam O fools, search for the sacred path of devotional service to Lord Hari which was previously unknown even by the very distant vision, Fine vision by the best of the sages. If you do not believe that Bhakti Padavi is not very confidential and if it seems to be difficult to attain, then giving up all those mental speculations in all respects surrender unto the lotus feet of Lord Gora.
I saw the devotional service the Lord Krishna.
So the devotional service to Lord Krishna.
It'S normally very hard to obtain.
It is normally very hard to obtain.
But by the mercy of Lord Goranga.
But by the mercy of Lord Gauranga.
He has made it very easy.
He had made it very easy to obtain it.
So once he tried to take shelter and lotus feet of Lord Gora so.
One should try to take shelter at the lotus feet of Lord gora. Verse number 81 obeisances unto Lord Gorahari who's drenched by the tears while seeing Lord Jagannath Dadam Murdhani Urdhvam Mukulita Karam Bojayugalam Galani Dukulena Vitam Navakamala Kinjal Karuchina Param Jyoti Gauram Kanakaruchi Chauram Pranamata.
Offer obeisances unto that Lord Gaura Sundara Parama Brahma with the complexion of molten gold who is beautifully adorned by the clothes and splendor of the whole of fresh lotus. Lotus. And who has bathed two of his very soft cheeks by the tears pouring out while placing his folded palms of the two lotus hands on top of the head.
So hey, Lord Gauranga is all thankless pranam to Lord Jagannath.
So Lord Goranga is offering his pranams to Lord Jagannath.
His two hands held above his head.
With his two hands held above his head.
And tears are flying from his.
Eyes and tears flowing.
Lord Garanga.
Lord Gauranga, he was surely beautiful expressions. Expressions.
And the devotees would take us shelter and offer him obeisances.
The devotees would take shelter and offer him obeisances. Lord Gauranga showed beautiful expressions. Okay, next verse. Verse number 82.
Maha Prabhu Kripa Betito unnoto Ujjal Rasha Prapti Ashrambhav.
Is impossible to obtain the most elevated mellow of devotional service, the mellow of conjugal love without the mercy of Mahaprabhu Brata Kirtaya Nama Gokula Pater Uddhamanamavalim Yad Bhavaya Tasya Divya Madhuram Rupam Jagan Mangalambha Mahaprabhur Yadikripa Drishte Pati Paten Nat O brothers, you may chant the greatly powerful groups of holy names of Brajendra Nandan Krishna the son of Maharaj Nanda or you may meditate on his resplendent transcendental sweet form. But the merciful glance of Lord R. Caitanya Mahprabhu but if the merciful glance of R. Caitanya Mahprabhu does not fall on you, then there is no possibility of hope in that matter of super excellent love of conjugal mellow.
So this is mentioned by the Rasa.
So this is mentioned by the author many times. Many times.
That you have to have a mercy glance our Lord Chaitanya that you have.
To have the merciful glance of Lord Chaitanya to be able to understand.
The Khalilah.
In order to understand the conjugal love of Lord Krishna.
Lord Chaitanya was giving out this secret of creation prayer.
So Lord Chaitanya was giving out this secret appreciation of love of Krishna.
And he came down from the spiritual.
World and he came down from the.
Spiritual world in order to deliver all the fallen souls.
In order to deliver all the fallen souls. So if we don't get the mercy of Lord Caitanya, it's a very big mistake.
He giving out a mercy to those normally would not get it.
He is giving out his mercy to those who normally will not get the mercy. Hare Krishna verse number 83 advised to take shelter of the reservoir of all perfection, the lotus feet of Lord Gora. Ay na kuru Sahasam Tavahasanti Sarvodayam Jana Parita Unmaadhaharitas.
To me Sri Chaitan Shahusha Prabhupita Krishna Prem Pjush Rosh Pane.
O Do not be engaged in any other sadhana other than taking shelter of the lotus field of Lord Caitanya. Those devotees of Lord Gora who are expert in relishing the nectar of loving devotional service, loving devotional service to Sri Krishna and thus who are completely intoxicated by the happiness of love will mock at all of these endeavors. Now listen to a very secret thing that the object of love presented and glorified in the Vedic scriptures. Ah. That object is certainly only Lord Gora.
Those are expert at taking the shelter or a lot of sleep.
Those who are shot expert at taking the shelter of the lotus feet.
They are able to relish his highest love.
They are able to relish the highest love.
So this is the Mahsa show.
This is. This is the very special mercy of Lord Chaitanya.
Lord, one can get Lord Krishna very easily from.
Sri Gaura that one can very easily get. One can get love of Krishna very easily from Lord Gaurav.
One should not waste time so one.
Should not waste time but shed for.
Mercy from Lord Gauranga but should get.
The mercy from Lord Gauranga. Next verse, just Last verse number 84.
Is worshipable even for those devoid of pure devotional service and whose intelligence is specifically in non spiritual prayer. Jnanadi Vatma Vichurim Brajanatha Bhakti Ritim na Vetmi Nachah Sad Guru Milanti Ahanta Hanta Mamaka Gaura Hari Stavana Karna Patam Gatosthi.
Nirbheda Brahmaganadi Pathe Bh Utpadon Karini Jai Sri Krishna Bhajan Pranali Tahato Ami Janina Swad Guru.
I do not know the process of devotional service to Lord Sri Krishna which brings about distaste in the process of searching after merging into the Brahman without any distinction merging into the Brahman without any distinction. And the other processes such as performance of compulsory nithya and occasional nai, mythic activities, mystic instruction for self realization and dry renunciation and so on. My meeting with the bonafide spiritual masters is also not happening. What is the solution for me? Whom shall I take shelter? Alas, alas. You are a prominent fool that even now you are not. You are not decide. You have not decided whom to take shelter. Has the name of Lord Gurahari not come on the path of yours. On the path of your years. Quickly bring the worship of Gorahari on the path of your years. Do not delay.
So all these are normally the paths for self realization.
So all these are normally paths for self realization. But the conclusion is that all these.
Paths are not sufficient.
All these paths are not sufficient.
You need to take shelter of Lord Gauranga.
You need to take shelter of Lord Goranga. Goranga.
That solve all the problems.
And that would naturally naturally solve all the problem.
