Biographic sketch of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu on the occasion of Sri 
Gauranga Jayanti  (March 12, 2017 )

"Gauranga was an embodiment of love. He lived, moved and had his being 
in love. His speech was full of love. He radiated love to all. His touch 
was a magnetism of love. He sang in love. He breathed in love. He walked 
in love. He showed by practice how God should be loved. He taught little 
by precept, but more by example. If he simply uttered one word, "You 
will be blessed with Bhakti", it was quite sufficient to throw a man 
into Samadhi and fill his heart with Prem (love). Such was Gauranga's 
power.

When Gauranga passed along the streets and roads, his powerful Prem 
current influenced and overpowered thousands. They uttered irresistibly 
"Hari Bol! Hari Bol!" and danced in ecstasy"

Lord Gauranga said, "Listen Swaroopa and Ramananda Raj! The chanting of 
Krishna's Name is the chief means of attaining Krishna's feet in the 
Kali Yuga. Sankirtan of the Name is the supreme healer in the Iron Age. 
Sankirtan tantamount to Vedic sacrifice. Sankirtan destroys sins and 
purifies the heart and creates Bhakti. Chant the name while sitting, 
standing, walking, eating, in bed and everywhere. The Name is 
omnipotent. You can repeat the Name at any place, at any time. - Swami 
Sivananda << More>>

Early Morning Meditation Talks from Ponder These Truths by Sri Swami 
Chidananda

 From Knowledge to Experience "Knowledge is the knowing of things and 
wisdom is the understanding and experiencing of things.....When 
knowledge rises above a certain point it matures into wisdom and gains a 
loftiness. Then it turns into a flash of intuition. Everything becomes 
revealed, everything becomes understood instantaneously. Intuition 
replaces knowledge, knowing turns into being, and life becomes infused 
by wisdom."

"This process of the fruition of knowledge comes through a constant, 
earnest, sincere and reverential process of contemplating knowledge, 
reflecting over knowledge that has been obtained and, day by day, trying 
to apply this knowledge, live in the light of this knowledge, bring this 
knowledge into our daily thoughts, feelings, attitudes and reactions to 
life around us."

"Ponder day after day and live a life of knowledge as an applied 
process-knowledge in practice, knowledge in living. And thus make life 
itself a gradual process of the fruition of this knowledge into wisdom 
and ultimately into experience that makes you a liberated being."

Gitamrutam

Those who, fixing their minds on Me, worship Me, ever steadfast and 
endowed with supreme faith, these are the best in Yoga in My opinion. ( 
12:2)

  Fix thy mind on Me only, thy intellect in Me, (then) thou shall no 
doubt live in Me alone hereafter. ( 12:8)


  Fix thy mind on Me; be devoted to Me; sacrifice unto Me; bow down to 
Me; having thus united thy whole self with Me, taking Me as the Supreme 
Goal, thou shalt verily come unto Me. (9:34)


Abandoning all duties, take refuge in Me alone; I will liberate thee 
from all sins; grieve not.18:66)
