Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu: Mercy Beyond All Limits || H. H. Lokanath Swami

So

>> what is bringing us here

all of us together in big number

is who is who is that who has brought us

Krishna

>> well you could also say samba prahu has

brought us together.

Yeah, certainly you could say Lokan

Swami has brought us together [music]

here.

[music]

prove has has brought us all of us

together here

but anyway I'm not

expecting

reply from you I will tell you of course

these are

some factors or causes

of why we are here for sure that but the

ultimate factor

ultimate cause

who is also

And that is Sri Krishna Chaitananya Maha

Prabhu.

Sri Krishna Chaitananya Maha Prabhu

kindly kindly

appeared into this world because he is

kind

We offer our obeisances

unto Sri Krishna Chaitananya Maha Prau.

Why do we do that?

Rupag Swami says well there are there

are four reasons [music] amongst them

there's one main reason also and that is

Mahavana

Maha Prabhu is most magnanimous

mahavad

of course

>> he was also magnanimousha

Certainly he was very very magnanimous

and we cannot think of God

if he's not kind. What kind of god he

is? He could be if he's not kind. He

[music] has to be kind. But Chaitananya

Mahaprau has become more kind or most

kind. [music]

Lord Ram lifts those fallen

and that is all the lords do that in

fact I'm fallen I'm fallen

of course those who pray like this also

to the Lord that I am very fallen oh

Lord please pick me up from this ocean

of this material existence and fix me as

a dust particle of your lotus feet.

In the age of Kali,

living entities are

most fallen. They're fallen in satyug,

more fallen in tra

and more are most fallen in this age of

kaliug. [music]

If us the conditioned souls are most

fallen in this age of kali then lord

also has to become most

kind most magnanimous right

>> then there's a good match

krishna

This is

a a gentleman honest honestly speaking

that I'm fallen. I'm very fallen

fallen person like me. You may not find

you will not find there isn't another

more fallen person than I am. So anyone

here fallen or

or only few fallen not everyone is

whether we admit or don't admit Lord

knows Lord knows that we are most fallen

in this age of Kali. So Lord kindly

appeared into this world 500 years ago.

5 and how many years? H uh

38 30

Mayura

>> and immediately

Lord started lifting the fallen people.

In fact,

he started lifting,

elevating people even before he appeared

on that day of God purima purima.

>> Falun purima we call falun purima as god

purima. Lord was going to appear of

course purima time moonrise time. But

that day the moon was not well he was

going to rise but not going to show his

face

because that was uh

moon moon eclipse chandra grahan day

devotees racharias say in fact moon came

up with a sku oh today is a

moon eclipse day so I will not show up.

I will not show my face. But the reason

he was he did not want to show his face

was he was thinking today

Chaitananya Chandra is going to be

appearing.

But look my face has so many

sparse dark sparse [snorts]

ugly faced I am. How could I show my

face to the world when on this day

That lord's face is going to be

brilliant

as not one moon but bahoti millions of

moons brilliance put together that is

that much eulgent face Lord Goranga

Gorchandra has so better let him appear

I will hide my face anyway He his hid

hid his face.

He was hi he's hiding behind but [music]

in it that's one point acharia say how

how beautiful how effulent is goranga

gorach chandra

or mayapur chandra that's why shar

praath gave the name to our iskan temple

in mayapur is mayapur chandra mandr

mayapur chandra mayapul chandra

He appeared on the horizon of Mayapura.

But during the day, Maha Pu appeared.

In what form did he appear? Kali Kali

Kali

Krishna.

Lord makes his appearance in the age of

Kali in the form of his holy name. He

appeared as hooray Krishna. Hooray

Krishna Krishna Krishna. Hor hay h.

And during the day Lord started lifting

liberating

conditioned souls

because it was a moon eclipse day. Lots

of people, lots of people had come from

all over from Kolkata, from here, there

to the banks of

Ganga Mayaki and they were all taking

baths there.

Harangi or hurry hurry hurry Krishna h

Krishna Krishna Krishna h.

So Lord started [music]

exhibition of his kindness even before

his appearance during day during that

day time [music] first day of his

appearance. Har say bad hurry hurry say

bad hurry in north India say yeah

[music]

the holy name of the lord is bada or

bigger or more kind

than the lord

rasa vigra

it is full of rasa

rasa morti

Nita

Lord's name is Pura complete and eternal

and

non- different from the Lord. In fact,

Chaitananya Maha Prabhu is going to be

appearing to

make his holy name appear along with him

or before him

make the holy name available.

So Chaitananya Maha Prabhu

he was little baby

in a cradle in a swing

and one day one day he was crying

mommy

she was crying baby and Sachim Mata

started chanting well she was prompted

that chant chant Har Krishna Sachimata

chant chant chant Har Krishna Krishna

Krishna Krishna

and as soon as Neiman Nei

>> it's such a sweet name I really love

this name [snorts]

he was born Lord was born underneath a

name tree so he was given that's one

reason why he was given [music] name.

Neiat

everything is sweet. Whatever you think

or could talk about, it's all sweet. So

I'm I'm jumping from this item to that

item. They're all sweet items.

Nectar nectar items. As Neimi heard

chanting of Har Krishna, Hur Krishna by

Sachi Mata,

Nei stopped crying,

exhibiting his great attraction and love

for chanting of the holy names was

pacified. He was satisfied by hearing

the holy names of the Lord. Anybody?

Everybody

not so very happy or crying crying

babies or crying babas

elderly people

if they would hear chanting of Har

Krishna they would stop

their cry or whatever

suffering and they would be joyful. So

this is also something that we could

take that as a lesson from that that

pastime. [music] Nemi crying crying and

such mother chanting chanting and he

stuffs

and and he becomes very happy

chant Har Krishna and

this was seen in the life of Chaitananya

Maha Prabhu [music]

as he heard chanting of Harve

crying and it became happy anyway then

Chaitananya Maha Prabhu

hurry hurry He was

yeah was growing

older and then he he received

he was initiated and he was given

mantras. He started chanting Har Krishna

Har Krishna also

Lord was in Gaia in Bihar. This is where

he received initiation.

And as he started chanting of Har

Krishna, he was transformed and he

become [music] became ecstatic and

excited

and became fully Krishna conscious

including he became Vundavan conscious

and he started running towards Vundavan

chanting har Krishna h Krishna he's

running to vandavan before he's had to

make

big effort to [music] dissuade him from

chanting or

running to Bundavan because his chanting

was

offenseless chanting. You're supposed to

be chanting how to chant

chant offenselessly without offenses.

So Maha Prabu chanting was like that.

[music]

So immediately instantly he became

Krishna chanting and as he was back in

Nadib

he was a new new person altogether like

a mad person or intoxicated person.

Hurry hurry and there are comments. So

many comments. Oh nema used to be such a

nice

young man but now see he has gone mad

has become pagal bala pagla pagla baba

so he had to go back to his spiritual

master Ishwarpuri

and he's inquiring from his spiritual

master

What kind of what kind of mantra you

have given

and what a powerful mantra

is this?

As a result of chanting of this mantra,

I have become mad. I gone mad.

So eventually Chaitananya Mahapru ends

up [snorts] taking SAS.

The reason being he wanted

not only

residents of Nadi be benefited by

chanting, hearing and dancing.

Yeah. Mahapu would in early morning

hours he would get up and gather all his

associates

And begin chanting and [music] dancing.

>> [singing]

>> This a description bakti describes

[music] chaitananya maha's

nagar

throughout

And then Maha Prabhu's associates many

most of them are also chanting and

dancing with Chaitananya Maha Prabhu

some are also preaching and saying they

are encouraging please chant balo mukund

mukund mukund

>> madhava madhav

>> yadhava madhava

>> hurry

>> hurry Hey,

use some strength

with your hearts full, throats full,

open mouths,

shout out, hurry Krishna, hurry Krishna,

Krishna Krishna, h

So some are preaching like that.

And then chaitananya mahabhu

is prea

is a golden is a golden he's ganga he's

a goranga is what goranga

goranga

>> goranga goranga goranga

>> just like rajharani's

anger of complexion is dancing. So

Mahabhu takes syas

and

Jaganati

>> comes to Jaganatpuri

as per instructions and the wishes of

Sachi Mata. Otherwise he was interested

in going to Vandavan. [music] But

Nityanand Prabhu and Adeta Shara tricked

tricked

Goworanga and brought him to Chantipur

and there were Shantipur also.

Now he was

renounced order of life sas

free to free to preach free to chant and

dance. So he was chanting and dancing to

his

heart's content

during his chanting.

Now he was a very tall he was a tall

person

and he would he would do his

he would

fly

high in the sky.

the beautiful

lotus eyes and long arms and golden

complexion form. [music] She would jump

the high or udan.

What kind of kithan?

So in Kanan he would jump high

[snorts]

kind of getting everyone's even

attention

and then he would he would fall on the

ground crash on the ground and Sachi

Mata was in the audience that time and

she would pray she used to be the

witness to Maha Prabhu's this kind of

dancing high in the sky and then

falling on the ground.

She would pray to bhi mata. My dear

mother earth please

protect my nei.

Whenever he falls down like this he has

no external consciousness [music] you

please lift him as

you had

lifted prad maharaj here in the valleys

of these mountains.

So Chaitananya Maha Prabhu was

instructed to

go to Jaganata

>> and you stayed there Nei

is very far

Maya. So be it. Yes, I will go to

Jaganad for you.

And Mahavu comes now

and he's very close to Jaganath Mandi

[music] and finally he's inside Jaganath

temple

and he's having dash of Jaganath

he seeing Jaganath

as

Jor say Krishna say Jaganat Jore Sai

Krishna say Jaganath

is n different Jaganat is non different

from Krishna also

not different from Goworanga, Maha

Prabhu. So when he saw Jaganath,

he starts running to Jaganat to embrace

Jaganath. You have seen Jaganath has

well the other parts

of his body are not visible

but the hands are kind of extended

forward

as as if Jaganath is [music] wanting

also to

pick up his devotees and embrace them

like mothers pick up their children all

all the time and hold them to their

chest. When Chaitananya Maha Prabhu saw

Jaganath

all his emotions stirred up

Gut

Mahapu's voice choked up and so many

other things are also happening body is

trembling

And he's he ends up only saying jaja

gaga jaja gaga.

This is all that he could utter. Juda

gaga and he falls on the the floor

[music] of the temple. Luckily

was in daran [snorts] mandab. He picked

him picked Gowanga up and brings him to

his home and does all the

examination or diagnosis or tests you

may call

to see what kind of symptoms are these,

what kind of emotions are these? Are

these fake ones or these are genuine

ones?

Emotions are bha. What kind of bha? What

level? What grade? And

sum matajar concluded this is called

mahabhao.

Ordinary devotees or living entities

they also develop bhau for the lord. But

this is mahabha. Only Radharani exhibits

bha like this. Mahabhava. Radha

Mahabhava Takurani this is known as

Mahabhava Radharani Takurani.

So

the Chaitanary Mahapu is

acting like a devotey but he's supreme

personality of godhead himself. [music]

Then well as I just said that

he gave a special daran to sum

martachara during just two two month

period two months that mahaprau spent in

in puri

and he continued to stay in sum

matachara's home on one day after a

series of events of course there's also

a reason why the special daran

Su matachar is going to get special dan

and this dan is called you want to hear

>> also see that dan is called shj dan

sh means six bhuja means arms had a six

armed form of the lord the two arms were

holding

bow and arrow they [music] were

Greenish little greenish in complexion.

Jazz Ram

>> and that was Sri Ram. Other two arms

were holding pujas were holding flute

and was sham ka sham and two other arms

were holding kamandaloo and dand of

syas. So this was

Ramachandra,

Krishna Chandra, Chaitananya Chandra

came

three forms in one and then Maha Prabhu

leaves Jaganatpuri.

Now he has appeared also for what?

Yog

Lord appears to establish

yoga dharma

harrishna

he's going to

spread and establish the holy name

wherever he would now go. So after

traveling through

Orisa next immediate state was Andhra

Pradesh

and after Daran at Kurmakshetra next

place was this one right here say

mahalam gate

>> and

then on to banks of Godavari near Raja

Mandre is going to be meeting Ry

Rammanand and he spends seven days the

samad dialogue going on there and in one

of those

days or nights

Roy Rammanand had a very special dashan

of

Gowanga. Suddenly there was no Gowanga

and in his place there was those Radha

and Krishna.

Pro proving the other statement. Sri

Krishna Chaitana Radha Krishna

Sri Krishna Chaitana

Radha Krishna Nah and he's nond

different from Radha and Krishna and

then he's going on and on and on and on

and on and he's chanting [music]

and dancing all day to the next

destination the next destination the

next destination and every

like we have satssung young here

tonight.

You remember I had said

who is a cause of

bringing all of us in a big number here

today?

Who did I say? Sri Krishna Chaitananya

Maha Prabuki.

So wherever Chaitananya Maha Prabhu

would [music] conduct his evening

dharma sabha or shankan

people would turn in a huge

number. I said it huge

so that you will get ideas really huge

big big

in a in a in a village of thousand

people 100,000 people would turn up no

promotion no advertisement no banners no

posters no SMS messages no nothings

but people would just turn up and with

all of them with all of them assembled

Chaitananya Maha Prabhu would chant and

dance with them and get them also to

chant and dance. He would say har

as if he [music] was he was lifting

all of them and dropping them.

people dropping them.

Hurry bowl. Hurry bowl. Hurry Krishna.

Hurry Krishna. Krishna Krishna. Hurry

hurry hurry. Hurry

hurry.

And Mahaprau was so tall with a long

arms and jumping high. There was no need

of stage for Maha Prabhu. He would stand

tall and visible from wherever. And as a

result of just chanting one evening,

chanting and dancing one evening with

Maha Prabhu, oh

they would all become pure devotees.

Pure devotees

>> from shreddha to pre you have heard of

the seven shreddha to preha

sadhuang bhajanakria anarani nista

ruchi asaki pre like eight steps

like a crash course of chaitananya maha

crash

would come jump to the final stage

became all ecstatic, pure devotes

and to the next town and the next town

and next village like this Lord was

liberating all those souls and sending

dispatching them go back back to home go

back home and then one time Maha Prabhu

was going through the forest called

Jharkan forest and

All the animals in that forest they

gathered on the ground and all the birds

were flying in the sky and they're all

chanting and dancing with Maha Prabu

and in the presence of Chaitananya Maha

Prabhu the tiger tiger and the deer

they're standing or even walking

rubbing shoulders with each other deer

and tiger deer And the tiger they have

all forgot forgotten all enmity and

animalistic tendencies and ma prau was

seeing them deer and tiger were [music]

coming together and embracing each

other.

If animals could do why not us the human

beings?

This is the effect of Krishna

consciousness and chanting of the holy

names. Mahaprabu even saw that deer and

tiger they were not only embracing but

kissing each other and that was the

height and Mahabru starts exclaiming

He thought this is only possible in

Vandavan. This must be Vandavan. This

was just jharik forest not forest of

reindavan. All consciousness all

dealings were just like

being in rehavan. Residence of reandavan

hari.

So this chaitananya maha prahu

predicted

that this chanting of har krishna maham

mantra

my name will be chanted

and people will dance along with the

chanting in every town every village

of this planet. [music] So this

prediction of Chaitananya Maha Prabhu

has been made true by Shri Prahuad.

>> Sri Praad was asked by his spiritual

master in 1922 to go to the west and

propagate the Krishna consciousness holy

name everywhere. So finally prau pad

eventually well as it took many years

for me to come here

I was being invited

by samba prabhu and

sein mataji. So finally as I have come

so praupath finally in 1965

went to the west and in 1966

that is 60 years ago this is 2026 right

60 years ago he founded the

international society for Krishna

consciousness so praad also asked us to

organize

podiatras or bulakar sankan traveling

So we did that in over 100 countries and

as a result holy name has reached far

and wide

[music]

and the

the people of

Russia and Ukraine

they're fighting [music] but the Har

Krishna Ukrainian Har Krishna's

And Russian Har Krishna devotees are

doing

and

lot has happened lot has happened in
