seeing through the eyes of scriptures
Aivarya Jnana
dear devotees
Please accept my humble obaisences
All glories to Srila Prabhupada
Today is the apperanceday of HH Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Maharaja.On this Holy occasion of his Vyasa puja I have previously written something important.
Today I am going to discuss something very important for anyone that wants to hear my message.In 1988 and 89 when Srila Narayana Maharaja gave me many instructiones on raganuga sadhana
his first advise to me was to chant minimum 64 rounds daily .This was way before the "Gopi bhava club" went to see Narayana Maharaja. Dhanudhara "Swami" was angry with Narayana Maharaja because
he had glorified chanting 64 rounds in one of his books, so this book was banned by Dhanudhara (Swindler) in ISKCON Vrindavana (meanwhile he was regularly beating small Guru kula children)
In ISKCON there is a lot of hostility towards Narayana Maharaja still .One thing I object to in the teachings of my diksa Guru was his ignoring asivarya jnana.I recall in Virginia in 2001 when Maharaja asked me
to say something about the lilas of BalaGopal and I explained how Krsna had expanded Himself in many forms to steal butter from all the Gopis at once .Maharaja was not interested in this explanation because it contained some of the asivarya lilas of Krsna (these are however the statements of Srila Visvanath Chakravato Thakura I was repeating) .But the Srimad Bhagavatam gives plenty aisvarya jnana.Krsna also expanded Himself in many Svayam Prakash forms to dance with the Gopis.Or He
did so when it came to taking lunch with the cowherd boys, so all saw that Krsna was dealing only with Him.So we can not denie the asivarya jnana of Sri Krsna.Srila Visvanath Chakravati Thakura has
written a prayer to Krsna glorifying the sweet aisvarya aspect of Sri Krsna in his Stavamrta Lahari .They now call Jadurani for Jadurani Manjari ,it is simply a joke. Such internal moods are to be kept as much a possible a secret desire of the sadhaka. Anyhow someone in ISKCON is laughing ,stop your laughing right now, there is many much more serious deviations within ISKCON such as giving diksa to persons that live in homosexual relationships.
That is not only a joke but a great crime against Srila Prabhupada ISKCON and Lord Caitanya.
your servant

Paramananda Das Srila Narayana Maharaja mood was very simple and very pure , and as he lived most of his life in Vraja ,it was easy for him to give up asivarya jnana ,but we can not imitate such an exalted acarya as my Gurudeva
Paramananda Das for us we have to carefully daily meditate on the Svayam Bhagavattvastakam by Srila Visvanath Chakravati Thakura :- Paramananda Das Song Name: Sva Janmany Aisvaryam Balam Official Name: Svayam Bhagavattvastakam Author: Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura Book Name: Stavamrta Lahari Language: Sanskrit LYRICS: (1) sva-janmany aiśvaryaḿ balam iha vadhe daitya-vitater yaśaḥ pārtha-trāṇe yadu-puri mahā-sampadam adhāt paraḿ jñānaḿ jiṣṇau muṣalam anu vairāgyam anu yo bhagaiḥ ṣaḍbhiḥ pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ (2) caturbāhutvaḿ yaḥ sva-jani samaye yo mṛd-aśane jagat-koṭīḿ kukṣy-antara-parimitatvaḿ sva-vapuṣaḥ dadhi-sphoṭe brahmaṇy atanuta parānanta-tanutāḿ mahaiśvaryaḥ pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ (3) balaḿ bakyāḿ danta-cchadana-varayoḥ keśini nṛge niṛpe bāhvor ańghreḥ phaṇini vapuṣaḥ kaḿsa-marutoḥ giritre daityeṣv apy atanuta nijāstrasya yad ato mahaujobhiḥ pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ (4) asańkhyāto gopyo vraja-bhuvi mahiṣyo yadu-pure sutāḥ pradyumnādyāḥ sura-taru-sudharmādi ca dhanam bahir dvāri brahmādyāpi balivahaḿ stauti yad ataḥ śriyāḿ pūraiḥ pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ (5) yato datte muktiḿ ripu-vitataye yan nara-janir vijetā rudrāder api nata-janādhīna iti yat sabhāyāḿ draupadyā varakṛd atipūjyo nṛpa-makhe yaśobhis tat pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ (6) nyadhād gītā-ratnaḿ trijagad atulaḿ yat priya-sakhe paraḿ tattvaḿ premṇoddhava-parama-bhakte ca nigamam nija-prāṇa-presṭhāsv api rasa-bhṛtaḿ gopa-kulajāsv ato jñānaiḥ pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ (7) kṛtāgaskaḿ vyādhaḿ satanum api vaikuṇṭham anayan mamatvasyaikāgrān api parijanān hanta vijahau yadyapy ete śrutyā dhuvatanutayoktās tad api hā sva-vairāgyaiḥ pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ (8) ajatvaḿ janmitvaḿ ratir aratitehārahitatā salīlatvaḿ vyāptiḥ parimitir ahaḿtā-mamatayoḥ pade tyāgātyāgāv ubhayam api nityaḿ sad urarī- karotīśaḥ pūrṇaḥ sa bhavatu mude nanda-tanayaḥ (9) samudyat-sandeha-jvara-śata-haraḿ bheṣaja-varaḿ jano yaḥ seveta prathita-bhagavattvāṣṭakam idam tad-aiśvarya-svādaiḥ sva-dhiyam ativelaḿ sarasayan labhetāsau tasya priya-parijanānugya-padavīm TRANSLATION 1) May Nanda's son, who is full of six opulences, who from His very birth was supremely (1) opulent, who displayed supreme (2) strength by killing a multitude of demons, who became supremely (3) famous by protecting Arjuna, who manifested supreme (4) wealth at Dvaraka, the capitol of the Yadus, who spoke supreme transcendental (5) knowledge to Arjuna, and who exhibited supreme (6) renunciation in the Yadus' fratricidal war, be pleased with me. 2) May Nanda's son, who is full of great opulences, who at the time of His birth had a four-armed form, who once at clay, who revealed millions of universes within His mouth, who broke a yoghurt pot, and who displayed numberless transcendental forms to Brahma, be pleased with me. 3) He employed the strength of His two lips on Putana, the strength of His arms on Kesi and Nrga, the strength of His feet on Kaliya, the strength of His body on Kamsa and Trnavarta, and the strength of His weapons on Banasura and other demons. May Nanda's son, who possesses all strength, be pleased with me. 4) He possesses all fame because He gives liberation to His enemies, because although He took birth in human society, He defeated Siva and the other demigods, because He is submissive to the humble devotees who offer obeisances to Him, because He gave a benediction to Draupadi in the assembly, and because He was lavishly worshipped in the Rajasuya sacrifice. May Nanda's son be pleased with me. 5) He has numberless gopis in Vraja, numberless queens and sons in Dvaraka, parijata trees, the sudharma assembly house, and other opulences. Outside His door Brahma and the demigods offer prayers and bring gifts. May Nanda's son, who possesses all wealth, be pleased with me. 6) He gave to a dear friend the jewel Bhagavad-gita, which has no equal in the world. With love He gave to Uddhava the ultimate truth of the Vedas. He gave to the saintly gopis, who thought Him more dear than life, the knowledge of the sweetest nectar. May Nanda's son, who possesses all knowledge, be pleased with me. 7) He brought an offensive hunter to Vaikuntha in his own body. He abandoned His own proud relatives, even though the sruti declares that they were already liberated and had eternal spiritual bodies. May Nanda's son, who possesses all renunciation, be pleased with me. 8) Although He is unborn, He takes birth. Although He is affectionate, He is aloof from everything. Although He enjoys pastimes, he is inactive. He is both all-pervading and limited. He possesses and does not possess ego and possessiveness. May Nanda's son, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is full of all opulences, be pleased with me. 9) He who serves this Bhagavattastaka, which is an excellent medicine to remove the hundred fevers of doubt, and becomes overwhelmed with happiness by tasting in his mind the sweetness of the Lord's opulences, enters the path that leads to the Lord's personal association.
- Paramananda Das is this prayer not in the mood of Vraja? Certainly : nanda-tanayaḥ
- Paramananda Das ayi nanda-tanuja kinkaram patitam mam vishame bhavambudhau kripaya tava pada-pankaja- sthita-dhuli-sadrisham vichintaya O son of Maharaja Nanda (Krsna), I am Your eternal servitor, yet somehow or other I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death. Please pick me up from this ocean of death and place me as one of the atoms at Your lotus feet.
