Science of Krsna Consciousness, Sri Mahanet Comments Off on Sri Mahanet | Q4 2024

The ideal in the resolve to reject the unfavorable—

O Lord of the universe, I have no desire for wealth or worldly promotion, nor do I desire wife, family, and society, nor do I aspire for Vedic religiosity or mundane scholarship. The only aspiration in my heart is that in my every birth I may have unmotivated devotion to You.

— the Supreme Lord Śrī Chaitanyachandra

Serving the Holy Name in pure devotion (Nām-bhajan) in the pain of separation is favorable to achieve union with the Lord —

A prayer to taste the nectar of devotion in Vrindavana (Vraja-rasa), nondifferent from serving the holy name in pure devotion (nama-bhajana) —

O Aghadamana, O Yasodanandana, O Nandasuno, O Kamalanayana, O Gopicandra, O Vrindavanendra, O Pranatakaruna, O Krishna — You have appeared in many divine forms, such as these. Therefore, O Lord, who are known by these holy names, kindly let my fondness for You flourish.
