Dancing, singing, and calling out the names of Śrī Hari, He roams each and every path, and inspires the passerby and His own people to sing and dance. He casts upon the saintly a glance from the corners of His merciful eyes. I perpetually worship Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, the root of the kṛṣṇa-bhakti tree. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuAC0H_gXLb/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=108gosik0qov9

What the Upaniṣads describe as the impersonal Brahman is but the effulgence of His body, and the Lord known as the Supersoul is but His localized plenary portion. Lord Caitanya is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Kṛṣṇa Himself, full with six opulences. He is the Absolute Truth, and no other truth is greater than or equal to Him.

Today is the Vyasa Puja (birthday celebration) of our spiritual teacher His Holiness Radhanath Swami. “My dear King, if a sinful person engages in the service of a bona fide devotee of the Lord and thus learns how to dedicate his life unto the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa, he can be completely purified. One cannot be purified merely by undergoing austerity, penance, brahmacarya and the other methods of atonement I have previously described.” - from SB 6.1.16 https://www.instagram.com/p/BrD00fZA5lq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=eiaqartbx44z

namo gaura kisoraya saksad vairagya murtaye vipralambha rasambhode padambujaya te namah I offer my respectful obeisances unto Srila Gaurakishora Dasa Babaji Maharaja [the spiritual master of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati], who is renunciation personified. He is always merged in a feeling of separation and intense love of Krishna. https://www.instagram.com/p/BqVMcgfAfaB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=21i5vi26su04

"Only out of His immense compassion does the Personality of Godhead reveal Himself as the spiritual master. Therefore in the dealings of an ācārya there are no activities but those of transcendental loving service to the Lord. He is the Supreme Personality of Servitor Godhead. It is worthwhile to take shelter of such a steady devotee, who is called āśraya-vigraha, or the manifestation or form of the Lord of whom one must take shelter. https://www.instagram.com/p/BqC14tUgaJj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1a35qdw2jvwx0

"O my Lord, You always dwell in the vision and hearing of Your pure devotees. You also live in their lotuslike hearts, which are purified by devotional service. O my Lord, who are glorified by exalted prayers, You show special favor to Your devotees by manifesting Yourself in the eternal forms in which they welcome You."

Can I defeat my lower nature? There is a battle of good and evil happening inside of us. It is not an external war fought with guns and missiles. It is a battle internalized. Our lower nature is that of selfishness. Lust, anger, greed. These enemies want to drag us down and control us. The higher nature, that which is good, is selfless. Service,love and honor. We cannot win this battle on our own. We must call out and ask for help from those who have won the fight. Mercy and grace are always with us.
