Sri Susloka Satakam

[Paramananda das]

Çré Caitanya-çataka
Çréla Särvabhauma Bhaööäcärya

Translated by Jaya Balarama Prabhu a disciple of Srila Prabhupada ,he took sannyasa I believe from my Guru Maharaja Srila Narayana Maharaja I do not know his sannyasa name, he used to serve for many years in ISKCON as a strict brahmacari ,he is from a Jewish American family and learned he also studied sanskrit and was a close friend of Kusakratha Prabhu ,he wrote this treasure of a book called Gauranga Mahima that also has Caitanya Sataka ,these are prayers Srila Sarvabhuama Bhattacarya see also CC Madhya lila chapter 6 verses 250 -255 ,I found this translation on line from someone copied it i have the book form also of Sri Gauranga Mahima unfortunatly the book was not circulated widely in ISKCON ,the book also contains Sri Advaita Acaryas prayers and meditation on Lord Caitanya so I will gradually share this .Caitanya Bhagavata Antya Khanda 3 chapter sloka 130 t0 147 mentiones the benefit of hearing and chanting Sri Susloka Sataka ,Lord Caitanya manifested His Sadbhuja form and Srila Sarvabhuama Bhattacarya chanted these 100 verses divinely inspired by Lord Caitanya Himself and Lord Caitanyas said that these verses will become famous as the Sarvabhauma Sataka or Sarvabhaumas one hundred verses and Lord Caitanya stated that anyone who read and chants these prayers will develop undeviating devotion to Lord Caitanya ,so I feel it is my duty to share these prayers as they are very little know in ISKCON and Gaudiya math and not given the attention they should have .Srila Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya is non different from Sri Brhaspati the Guru of the demigods, so that is how exalted Srila Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya is ,he came to earth to serve Lord Caitanya .So Sri Bhrhaspati thus has bestowed such great mercy on us being the Guru of the Demigods he is naturally also our Guru ,and many parts of the 4 vedas glorify Sri Brhaspati and pray for his mercy to enlighten us souls on earth .I will try to fix and edit this Susloka Satakam here but for now that is what I can share with you all .

As soon as Lord Gauräìga began the auspicious congregational chanting of the holy names of the Lord, at that time the living entities, who were tormented by Kali became stunned hearing the wonderful qualities of the Lord and they rushed to the site of the saìkértana-yajïa. All the pure and sinful persons on hearing that congregational chanting became maddened and danced.
