Srila Gour Govinda Swami Lion Guru Padayatra

Описание: "How long will you sleep in the lap of the ugly witch Maya? How long? You have already slept for such a long time, lakhs and lakhs of lives. Do you want to sleep in the lap of the ugly witch Maya?
Mahaprabhu is your only well-wishing friend. He loves you so much that He descended here,
tomare loite ami hoinu avatara
ami bina bandhu ara ke ache tomara
"For you I descended. Is there any friend of yours but Me?"

He loves you so much and you have no tinge of love for Him.
enechi ausadhi maya nasibaro lagi'
hari-nama maha-mantra lao tumi magi'

"I have brought medicine for you, to annihilate maya, to annihilate ignorance, avidya.
"That medicine is the harinam maha-mantra."
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE
If you put complete, full, strong and unflinching faith in taking this medicine, it will definitely cure you. Your ignorance will be annihilated and pure consciousness will arise. Your heart will immediately be purified of all material contamination. Then you can chant the pure name:
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE
sankirtanejanakau - GaurangaMahaprabhu is the father of the sankirtan movement.
Gauranga avatara is prema-purusottama, the giver of Krishna-prema: maha-vadanya avatara, the most munificent incarnation, who gives Krishna-prema freely through this sankirtan. Mahaprabhu was doing sankirtan here chanting and dancing surrounded by His associates. It is He who first started this sankirtan-padayatra.

This is the only remedy for the people of Kali-yuga. It will bring you all types of good fortune. Who can want more than that? He is such a well-wishing friend. He was chanting and dancing in the street:
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE
adhane jatana kari dhana tejaginu gaura-kirtana-rase maghana na hainu

Narottam Das Thakur says, "You have taken interest in collecting adhana, false wealth, and you are neglecting the real dhana, the real asset, this prema-dhana that Gauranga Mahaprabhu gives you through sankirtan." Where gaura-kirtana is going on, Gauranga Mahaprabhu appears there. Yes. When such gaura- kirtana is going on, many gaura-bhaktas congregate together and chant loudly:
HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE
When this transcendental sound vibration touches the ears, can one stay inside of their house? If it enters into their ears, no one can stay inside. Only those who are like nirjivas– dead matter or stones, can remain inside. Only stones stay inside the house when such kirtana is going on. This gaura-kirtana is the only inspiration, the only life-giving force to the jivas in Kali-yuga. Therefore we have this sankirtana-padayatra to save those souls, those who are dying out of ignorance, who have no life - no Krishna means no life. Krishna is life.
Krishna says, jivanam sarva-bhutesu – "I am the life in all living entities." If you are not carrying Krishna in you, have you love? You have no life. You are dying at every moment. You are a dead body. You are living but dead. You are breathing like the bellows of a blacksmith. If there is no Krishna in you, what is the value of that life?
That man or woman, who has no Krishna in them, is dead. What is the value of decorating a dead woman? Why do Gauranga Mahaprabhu and the gaura-priya- janas, the dear devotees of Gauranga Mahaprabhu, do this padayatra, walking and walking so far, barefoot? Why do they do it? They never become tired. Rather, they get so much life. So much ananda, transcendental pleasure is there, paibe paramananda, ananda – unlimited ananda, unlimited happiness. By performing this padayatra you will get transcendental pleasure. If you chant Hare Krishna you will forget all of your bodily ills and ailments. You will get such transcendental pleasure, nectar, life! Therefore we do it. Mahaprabhu is priya-jana, His dear devotee, our revered spiritual master Srila Prabhupada, started this. Mahaprabhu has taught it and Srila Prabhupada started it. This padayatra is Mahaprabhu's lila going on today.
One who cannot accept it, will remain as a mleccha, yavana. Finally at the end of Kali-yuga, Kalki will come and annihilate them. But the fortunate living entities who accept and take part in gaura-kirtana, who go out and take part in chanting:

HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE
HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE

Such persons have life. They will not be annihilated. We offer many thanks to the devotees who have taken part in this recent pada-yatra in Western Orissa. They have chanted throughout the hilly tracts and jungle areas of the land, filling the atmosphere with transcendental sound vibration thereby giving opportunity to so many jivas so that their life can be a success. Our request is that those who are intelligent, those who understand, those who are not stones, they take part in it."
