Caitanya
Mahaprabhu
instructed His disciples to write books on
the science of Krsna, a task which His
followers have continued to carry out down to
the present day. The elaborations and
expositions on the philosophy taught by Lord
Caitanya are, in fact, the most voluminous,
exacting, and consistent, due to the system
of disciplic succession. Although Lord
Caitanya was widely renowned as a scholar in
His youth, He left only eight verses, called
Siksastaka. These eight verses clearly reveal
His mission and precepts. These supremely
valuable prayers are translated
herein. cetah-of
the heart; darpana-the mirror;
mârjanam-cleansing; bhava-of material
existence; mahâ-dâva-agni-the
blazing forest fire;
nirvâpanam-extinguishing; s'reyah-of
good fortune; kairava-the white lotus;
candrikâ-the moonshine;
vitaranam-spreading; vidyâ-of all
education; vadhû-wife;
jîvanam-the life; ânanda-of
bliss; ambudhi-the ocean;
vardhanam-increasing; prati-padam-at every
step; pûrna-amrita-of the full nectar;
asvâdanam-giving a taste; sarva-for
everyone; âtma-snapanam-bathing of the
self; param-transcendental; vijayate-let
there be victory;
s'rî-krishna-sankîrtanam-for the
congregational chanting of the holy name of
Krishna. Glory to
the sri-krsna-sankirtana, which cleanses the
heart of all the dust accumulated for years
and extinguishes the fire of conditional
life, of repeated birth and death. This
sankirtana movement is the prime benediction
for humanity at large because it spreads the
rays of the benediction moon. It is the life
of all transcendental knowledge. It increases
the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it
enables us to fully taste the nectar for
which we are always anxious. nâmnâm-of
the holy names of the Lord;
akâri-manifested; bahudhâ-various
kinds; nija-sarva-s'aktih-all kinds of
personal potencies; tatra-in that;
arpitâ-bestowed; niyamitah-restricted;
smarane-in remembering; na-not;
kâlah-consideration of time;
etâdris'î-so much; tava-Your;
kripâ-mercy; bhagavan-O Lord; mama-My;
api-although; durdaivam-misfortune;
îdris'am-such; iha-in this (the holy
name); ajani-was born; na-not;
anurâgah-attachment. O my Lord,
Your holy name alone can render all
benediction to living beings, and thus You
have hundreds and millions of names, like
Krsna and Govinda. In these transcendental
names You have invested all Your
transcendental energies. There are not even
hard and fast rules for chanting these names.
O my Lord, out of kindness You enable us to
easily approach You by Your holy names, but I
am so unfortunate that I have no attraction
for them. trinât
api-than downtrodden grass;
sunîcena-being lower; taroh-than a
tree; iva-like; sahishnunâ-with
tolerance; amâninâ-without being
puffed up by false pride;
mânadena-giving respect to all;
kîrtanîyah-to be chanted;
sadâ-always; harih-the holy name of the
Lord. One should
chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble
state of mind, thinking oneself lower than
the straw in the street; one should be more
tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of
false prestige, and should be ready to offer
all respect to others. In such a state of
mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord
constantly.(Caitanya-caritâmrita,
Antya-lîlâ 20.21) na-not;
dhanam-riches; na-not; janam-followers;
na-not; sundarîm-a very beautiful
woman; kavitâm-fruitive activities
described in flowery language; vâ-or;
jagat-îs'a-O Lord of the universe;
kâmaye-I desire; mama-My; janmani-in
birth; janmani-after birth;
îs'vare-unto the Supreme Personality of
Godhead; bhavatât-let there be;
bhaktih-devotional service;
ahaitukî-with no motives; tvayi-unto
You. O almighty
Lord, I have no desire to accumulate wealth,
nor do I desire beautiful women nor do I want
any number of followers. I only want Your
causeless devotional service, birth after
birth. ayi-O
my Lord; nanda-tanuja-the son of Nanda
Mahârâja, Krijna; kinkaram-the
servant; patitam-fallen; mâm-me;
vijame-horrible; bhava-ambudhau-in the ocean
of nescience; kripayâ-by causeless
mercy; tava-Your; pâda-pankaja-lotus
feet; sthita-situated at;
dhûlî-sadris'am-like a particle
of dust; vicintaya-kindly
consider. 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. nayanam-the
eyes; galat-as'ru-dhârayâ-by
streams of tears running down; vadanam-mouth;
gadgada-faltering; ruddhayâ-choked up;
girâ-with words; pulakaih-with standing
up of the hairs due to transcendental
happiness; nicitam-covered; vapuh-the body;
kadâ-when; tava-Your;
nâma-grahane-in chanting the name;
bhavijyati-will be. O my Lord,
when will my eyes be decorated with tears of
love flowing constantly when I chant Your
holy name? When will my voice choke up, and
when will the hairs of my body stand on end
at the recitation of Your name? yugâyitam-appearing
like a great millennium; nimejena-by a
moment; cakjujâ-from the eyes;
prâvrijâyitam-tears falling like
torrents of rain;
s'ûnyâyitam-appearing void;
jagat-the world; sarvam-all; govinda-from
Lord Govinda, Krijna; virahena me-by my
separation. O Govinda!
Feeling Your separations I am considering a
moment to be like twelve years or more. Tears
are flowing from my eyes like torrents of
rain, and I am feeling all vacant in the
world in Your absence. âs'lishya-embracing
with great pleasure; vâ-or;
pâda-ratâm-who have fallen at the
lotus feet; pinashtu-let Him trample;
mâm-me; adars'anât-by not being
visible; marma-hatâm-brokenhearted;
karotu-let Him make; vâ-or;
yathâ-as (He likes); tathâ-so;
va-or; vidadhâtu-let Him do; lampatah-a
debauchee, who mixes with other women;
mat-prâna-nâthah-the Lord of My
life; tu-but; sah-He; eva-only; na aparah-not
anyone else. I know no
one but Krsna as my Lord, and He shall remain
so even if He handles me roughly by His
embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not
being present before me. He is completely
free to do anything and everything, for He is
always my worshipful Lord,
unconditionally. Downloads:
