Petition for the sidelong glance of Krishna

A poetic prayer chanted by Lord Siva in the Urdhvamnaya tantra

(Sequel to Radha kripa kataksha stava raja)

॥१॥

bhaje vrajaika-mandanam samasta-papa-khandanam

sva-bhakta-citta-ranjanam sadaiva nanda-nandanam

su-piccha-guccha-mastakam su-nada-venu-hastakam

ananga-ranga-sagaram namami krsna-nagaram I worship the unique ornament of Vraja,

Who smashes everyone's sins,

Who pleases the hearts of his own…

I was thinking about Tribuvanath Prabhu yesterday , I disagreed with his immature and manipulative way of management , to me he was in some ways neophyte and offensive, and he was not a bookdistributor for sure, but he was dedicated to Srila Prabhupada and for that I liked him .I recall in Dame street in Dublin , when we where not on traveling sankirtana but distributed books from Dublin he was sitting every night and reading his one Volume CC and fall asleep with reading so he would never…

I purchased this book of Vaiyasaki Prabhu long ago but never got to read it ,it is about Jayananda Prabhu Visnujana Swami and the Radha Damodara sankirtana bus party that used to travel all over USA and distribute Srila Prabhupadas books .Now finally I am reading it and it is historically and devotionally very interesting

Now that Purusottama month is over what is my duty ?

This question was asked ? The same duty is every day to surrender to Lord Sri Krsna as described by Sri Krishna in Bhagavad Gita 18.66 .Our duty and way we surrender to Lord Caitanya is shown in Prema Vilasa when Srila Lokanath das Goswami ordred Srila Narotama das Thakura to chant 64 rounds daily : SRILA LOKANATHA GOSVAMI TO HIS DISCPLE SHRILA NAROTTAMA (both are great Acharyas and followers of Lord Gauranga Mahaprabhu) :

I was having a vivid memory of combing my mothers hair in 1967 ,two years before she died of colon cancer ,life flies so fast and we are each getting closer to death daily , still many of us do not prepare for death by chanting Hare Krsna and remembering Lord Sri Krsna ,Lord Sri Krsna staged His socalled death ,but He went back to Goloka remembering Krsnas disapperance lila helps us also go back to Godhead

Sri Garuda and the little bird!

Srila Prabhupada told the story of the little bird that lost her eggs at ocean and threatened to empty the Ocean by removing all the Oceans water in her beak , it sounds insane ,how large is the ocean how small is the beak of the little bird?
