Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada PURPORT by His Divine
Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada This
song was sung by Narottama Dasa Thhakura, a great devotee and acarya in
the Gaudiya Vaisnava-sampradaya, the disciplic succession coming down
from Lord Caitanya. Narottama Dasa Thakura has written many songs,
which are recognized as authoritative by all Vaisnavas. He has sung
these songs in simple Bengali language, but the purport--the deep
meaning of his songs--is very significant. In
this song he says, 'gauranga' bolite habe pulaka sarira. One has
attained the perfection of chanting when as soon as he chants the name
of Lord Gauranga, who initiated this sankirtana movement, at once there
is shivering in his body. This is not to be imitated, but Narottama
dasa Thakura is asking, "When will that opportune moment come to us
when there will be shivering of the body as soon as we chant Lord
Gauranga's name?'' And after the shivering--'hari hari' bolite nayane
ba'be nira: "While chanting Hare Krsna, there will be tears in the
eyes.' Then
he says, ara kabe nitai-cander koruna hoibe. We are all asking about
the mercy of Lord Nityananda. Nityananda is supposed to be the original
spiritual master, so we have to approach Gauranga, Lord Caitanya,
through the mercy of Lord Nityananda. What is the symptom of a person
who has achieved the causeless mercy of Lord Nityananda? Narottama Dasa
Thakura says that the symptom of one who has actually received the
causeless mercy of Lord Nityananda is that he has no more material
desire. Ara kabe nitai-cander koruna hoibe samsara-basana mora kabe
tuccha ha'be. Samsara-basana- means "desire for material enjoyment,"
and Narottama Dasa wonders when it will become very insignificant. Of
course, as long as we have bodies we have to accept so many material
things, but not in the spirit of enjoyment, but only to keep body and
soul together. As
long as the mind is too much absorbed in materialistic thought, one
cannot enter into the kingdom of Vrndavana. But Narottama Dasa Thakura
says, visaya chariya kabe suddha ha'be mana kabe hama herabo
sri-brndabana. "When the mind is completely purified, being freed from
material anxieties and desires, then I shall be able to understand
Vrndavana and the conjugal love of Radha and Krsna, and then my
spiritual life will be successful. Narottama
Dasa says further, rupa-raghunata-pade hoibe akuti: "When shall I be
very much eager to study the books left by the six Gosvamis?" Akuti
means "eagerness." Because Rupa Gosvami is the father of devotional
service, he has written a book called Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, in which
there are nice directions on devotional service. These topics are also
dealt with in Caitanya- caritamrta and other books, and we have given
the summary of those directions in our book Teachings of Lord Caitanya.
One has to learn of the conjugal loving affairs of Radha-Krsna through
the teachings of these six Gosvamis. Narottama Dasa Thakura directs us
not to try to understand the conjugal love of Radha-Krsna by our own
endeavor. We should try to understand this yugala-piriti, conjugal
love, under the direction of the Gosvamis. I | II | III | IV | V |
