In His footsteps

Radharani speaks on Surrender (as channelled by me) Surrender comes from deep love. The power of love melts away every trace of ego. In surrender, one begs, pleads, cajoles for the love and grace of the Beloved. What one gives up in surrender is the thought that I can stay separate from the beloved and still exist. One who is surrendered in love cannot think so. She thinks she cannot exist even for a moment without the Beloved. Her life is always on line. That is how she lives. While surrender is the best way to live, it is not necessarily the easiest way to live. A surrendered soul knows that one literally scrambles one way back to the Beloved. If it had been an easy one time process, wouldn’t we all have done it? On the way back to the Beloved, we have to accost every resistance that we have built against god. We will have to face all the thoughts, ideas, emotions that had first taken us away from Him. One by one, we will have to encounter and overcome each of these including our fea...

Lord Nityananda's Message (as channelled by me on the eve of Gaur Purnima, 2001, at Navadvipa) The one thing that mankind has forgotton and is now time to remember is soul consciousness. No matter what you do, even if you fulfil all your desires and fulfilment all your pleasures, the fulfilment of your soul will not happen until you have inhabited the kingdom of god. So come into the fold of this realm now. Enjoy the bliss and glory of this world. It is so many times magnified as compared to the realm you think you will find fulfilment. The impious and the impervious will have to stall, take stalk, and enter into the realm of Gauranga’s love. My mission on earth was to distribute this love to all and sundry, and to whoever, to ignite the hearts of as many as possible. Those were wondrous times when the Lord incarnated, and when the job of distributing His bhakti was performed by me. I had sung and danced in this land of Navadvipa, and my passion exists here. Those who connect to i...

Dear Beloved, I had the most transcendental experience in Navadvipa, spending 4 days and 3 nights immersed in the ecstasy of the celebrations of Gour Purnima. The devotees that thronged the holy land this year were unusually large in numbers. Bhakti is growing! I seek the continued blessing of my beloved Gurudev, Radharani, Mahaprabhu, Nityananda Prabhu that I may continue to serve them in their Dham. Navadvipa is the Dham of Bhakti like no other! All Glory to Guru and Gouranga!

The Return of Bhakti A message by Radharani, channelled on eve of Gour Purnima, 18.3.2011 The sun shines brighter by the day, and so does the moon. And tomorrow is the most beauteous full moon, grandiose and fuller than ever. it shines with the love of Gouranga, The beautiful one, the radiant one. Those of you at Navadvipa are fully blessed, and those who remember the pastimes of Gouranga are blessed too. This is the time of resurgence of Bhakti. Bhakti of the rarest and refined realms will be revealed to those of you whose hearts are open. The bhakti that will be revealed now will cause the heart to become extremely tender and soft. There will be a melting down of the gross body because of the fire of bhakti that will burn all impurities. This fire of bhakti will bring a fluidity and flow in your body, in all your movements and in your life. The greatest of offences is nullified in the fire of bhakti. No matter what you have done till now, in this moment I clearly declare that all o...

Feeling completely rejuvinated after an amazing week of parikramas of the dham, sadhu sanga, listening of naam and lila kirtan, partaking of prasad and ganga darshan. There were grand celebrations in our temple 'Sonar Mandir' as we celebrated our gurudev Om Vishnupad 108 Tridandi Swami's birthday along with Mahaprabhu's abirbhav on the 11th of March. A grand feast was held on Jagannath Mishra's utsav, on the 12th when a large congregation enjoyed mahaprasadam. Devotees from all over the country were present to pay homage to guru and gauranga! The miracle of the holy dham is indeed mindblowing. Truly, there is no place like Navadvipa in the entire planet! yours in the service of the guru, sukhvinder

The excitement within my heart increases, as the dates of Goura Purnima 2009 come nearer. This year, I will take part in the parikrama of the 9 dvipas that is navadvipa. The celebrations in our temple will be in full swing, and I can immerse myself in the sounds of the Mahamantra, singing and dancing with joyous abandon, barefoot in the streets of Navadvipa. The energy of Baba, my gurudev, will permeate my being, and I will relive all the priceless moments I have shared with Him in this holy land! I am blessed to have lived with Him and served Him in Navadvipa.

GAURA GADADHAR Om Sri Sri Vishnupad 108 TRIDANDISWAMI BHAKTI SRAVAN TIRTHA MAHARAJ In the BELATI Village of Chattagram Dist lived Madhav Mishra & his wife Ratnawati. They had two sons who were called Baninath & Gadadhar. Madhav Mishra left Chattagram & moved to Navadwip. This was the birthplace of Gadadhar. Gadadhar was a childhood friend of Nimai Pandit, and both were students in the same “Tol”. They used to discuss various topics about transcendent literature together. Their teacher was Sri Advaita Acharya. On the way to their “Tol” (School) Nimai Pandit caught hold of Gadadhar & told him “What do you think of yourself, you think you are a really a great pundit”? Gadadhar who excelled in debating was asked, “What are the symptoms of a liberated soul”? Gadadhar gave his explanation with support from the scriptures. Nimai told him that he had given an absolutely wrong answer. Nimai said, the display of severe pain & unhappiness are the symptoms of a liber...
