Srinath
Dear Devotees,

Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! To everyone on NITAAI Yoga community, I thank you all for having contributed towards the growth and preaching of the pure devotional teachings of the Lord and our acharyas with your wonderful services and offerings on this site.

What follows is an absolutely brilliant idea given by Sriman Hadai Nityananda dasa prabhuji for the most wonderful Vyasa Puja offering that we can offering to Swamiji....

This Vyasa Puja he is planning to make a collection called THE BEST OF NITAAI YOGA that has the most memorable material present on this site, etc… Regarding this I request all devotees who have posted on this forum to look at their own posts which they had contributed in the past and choose the very best among them that is very dear to their heart and is most memorable to them. This represents the really finest of all your contributions.

We plan to put all of them together into a garland of offerings which we can all offer to Swamiji on his Vyasa Puja day today. It’s the least we can do for our beloved guruji today as disciples and we certainly owe him this.

So all of you click on your usernames in any of your posts and find all your posts and choose the best among them, posts that were really appreciated, posts with nice content. Copy all the links to those posts and paste them as a reply in this thread. Do not worry about whether it is so great or not so great, feel free to put up all the links to whatever contributions you feel are among your best — in this thread and we will add them and offer it all to Swamiji. It is meant to be the best birthday gift for a guru.

All of your best contributions are valuable and we want to make sure it deserves its place on this site. And we want everyone to participate. As of now I have already made a list and will put it up here. Please add to it. That is my humble request for this year’s special Vyasa Puja offerings.

Hadai Nityananda Dasa prabhuji ki jay!
Swami Gaurangapada ki jay!

Daaso’smi,
Srinath

  1. Sri Nityananda Prabhu Never Gets Angry

    AKRODHA PARAMANANDA NTTYANANDA RAYA

    Sri Nityananda Prabhu Never Gets Angry
    By Srila Locana dasa Thakura

    akrodha paramananda nityananda raya
    abhimana shunya nitai nagare bedaya

    adhama patita jivera dware dware giya
    harinama maha mantra dena bilaiya

    jare dekhe tare kahe dante trina dhori’
    amare kiniya laha bhaja gaurahari

    eta boli’ nityananda bhume gadi jaya
    sonara parvata jena dhulate lotaya

    hena avatare jara rati na janmilo
    locana bole sei papi elo ara gelo

    TRANSLATION

    1. Lord Nityananda Raya never gets angry. He is always in ecstasy, supreme bliss. He has no false ego. He wanders to every town and village in Nadia chanting Hare Krishna, dancing, and offering krsna-prema (love of Krishna) to everyone indiscriminately.

    2. Sri Nitai goes to every doorstep and knocks on the door, ‘Tap! Tap!Tap!’ He goes to those who are very much distressed, degraded, and fallen. He goes to them and gives them krsna-prema. He says, “Please Chant! Please Chant! “: hare krishna, hare krishna, krishna Krishna, hare hare / hare rama, hare rama, rama rama, hare hare. If they do not chant and shut the door, then He rolls there on the ground and cries!

    3. Whomever He meets, catching a straw between His teeth, He begs, “0 Brothers! Please do the bhajana of Sri Gaurahari and pur­chase Me, purchase Me, purchase Me.”

    4. Saying this, Lord Nityananda rolls on the ground in the dust, cries, and sheds tears, looking like a mountain of gold rolling on the ground.

    5. Such a merciful incarnation is Lord Nityananda. If someone doesn’t develop love for such an incarnation as Sri Nityananda-Rama, Locana says, “Such a sinful person wastes his life, remain­ing in the cycle of birth and death. He cannot be delivered.”

    Nityananda ! Gauranga Hare Krishna !

    Following is from Jaiva Dharma-

    The eternally perfect and eternally liberated souls who have sweetness first and mercy second reside in Lord Krsna's abode. They are Lord Krsna's associates. The eternally perfect and eternally liberated souls who have mercy first and sweetness second reside in Lord Gauranga's abode. They are Lord Gauranga's associates. Some souls manifest two forms and reside in both abodes simultaneously. Other souls manifest only one form and are present in one of the abodes and not in the other.

    This means that since Swamiji is presently living in Puri and not Vrindavan his quality of mercy dominates his quality of sweetness. However I would say his sweetness is also equal as he also worships Radha and Krishna and is thus also going to enter Vraja Dham

    Sincerely,
    Mihir.

    Dear devotees,

    Haribol! I would like it if you could give me links to your old posts or your blogs or websites. Rather than posting articles here I am looking for links. We are going to make a special page with this so that everyone can see the beauty of Nitaai Yoga.

    I know that devotees have posted so many nice realizations and articles of their own here which they have loved. I have tried searching to some extent to post them. But there are many more which I have not seen. So kindly take a look at your own posts in the past, and paste the links here. They will be added.

    Swamiji has expressed great joy at this gift. So please keep sending. Your websites, blogs, all.

    Srinath
