This year, the festival will be inaugurated on March 2nd with the devotees observing sankalpa, or a vow to ensure the success of their parikrama. The last day of the festival will be March 9th.On March 3nd, we will begin our five-day Sri Navadvipa-mandala Parikrama, a pilgrimage to each of Navadvipa's nine incomparably beautiful islands. As we wind our way through these islands, we will chant compelling and surcharged kirtanas that we will cherish forever, reverentially touch our head to the dust of the numerous holy places related to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's pastimes, and hear nectarean harikatha that will change our lives and strengthen our commitment to the path of Gaudiya Vaisnavism. Our pilgrimage will be completed on March 7th.</span></div><span class="fcg"> —</span><br />

The main theme of his lectures was the glory of mahat-sanga, or sadhu-sanga (association with self-realized souls), in continuation of the series of classes he gave on the same subject in Badger three weeks earlier. Because this was also the week of the Ratha-yatra festival in India, he also spoke on that topic for two days. At the beginning of his June 23 class, he made the following announcement to the assembled devotees:]</i> <br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b> Italy - June 23, 2004</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><b> </b></span> <br />
Very soon, before Navadvipa parikrama takes place, we are going to establish a preaching center there in Sri Navadvipa-dhama. We will perform Navadvipa-dhama parikrama from there. We will try get at least ten acres of land, where we will build a temple with a goshala, kirtana hall, printing house, publishing department, guesthouse and brahmacari ashram. These will gradually be developed, just as in our Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti Devananda Gaudiya Matha.<br />
<br />
I will soon be 85 years old. I have managed the Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti for about 50 or 60 years. Now, in my advanced age, I can no longer carry that burden. There is not so much time. I want to write and publish many books, as did Srila Bhaktivedanta Svami Maharaja, because my Gurudeva ordered me to do this. I also want to travel throughout the world, to support and nourish devotees everywhere.<br />
<br />
And, I have decided to make this temple, especially for the international assembly of devotees. <br />
But that new temple wants so much money. All of you can personally give at least a small donation. We are here in Italy for 7 days. If 500 persons donate something, we can purchase that land. We can very quickly build a fence, and then the buildings and so on. All will be done by the time of parikrama. Somehow I have promised – I have taken a vow – that we must do parikrama from that place this coming year. I request you all to help. Sannyasis should inspire others to join in this big service of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Nityananda prabhu. I think you are happy to hear this, so try to help me in this service.<br />

He appeared in this world to manifest Mahaprabhu’s holy name (gaura-nama), His innermost desire (gaura-kama) and His holy abode (gaura-dhama). Like Sri Rüpa and Sri Sanatana, he wanted to reside in Vraja and perform bhajana there.<br />
On his way to Vraja-mandala he came to a deity of Lord Siva, Mahadeva Sri Tadakesvara, a short distance from Kolkata. That night Sri Mahadeva appeared to him in a dream and requested him to reveal Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu’s appearance-place. He also told him to remain in Gauda-mandala and perform bhajana. Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura placed Sri Tadakesvara’s instruction upon his head and returned to Sridhama Navadvipa. There, in Godrumadvipa, he constructed a small hut and began performing bhajana, eager to find Sriman Mahaprabhu’s appearance-place. He wrote in his autobiography: <span id="more-203"></span><br />
“I was very anxious to find Sriman Mahaprabhu’s appearance place. I went to Navadvipa (the present Navadvipa Town) and with much endeavour made some investigation, but was unable to find any trace of it. Thus I became very unhappy. Nowadays the people of Navadvipa are only busy filling their bellies. They know nothing about Sriman Mahaprabhu’s pastime-places, nor do they endeavour to learn about them. One day after twilight, at ten o’clock, Kamala and I, together with one clerk, were standing on the roof of the Rani Dharmasala looking about. It was very dark and the sky was filled with clouds. Then, across the Ganga towards the north I saw an effulgent mansion. I asked Kamala, ‘Did you see something?’ He answered, ‘I became awestruck to see an effulgent mansion on the other side of the Ganga towards the north.’ In the morning I again went to the roof of the Rani Dharmasala and attentively looked towards that place. I was unable to see the effulgent mansion, but I could see a palm tree there. When I inquired from others about that place, they said it was called Ballala-dighi and that one can still see many traces of King Laksmana Sena’s old fort there. The coming Monday I went to Krsna-nagara and the following Saturday I went straight from there to Ballala-dighi. That night I beheld a wondrous sight. Sriman Mahaprabhu, Sri Nityananda Prabhu, Sri Advaita Äcarya, Sri Gadadhara and the other devotees were completely absorbed in chanting and dancing ecstatically. Everyone’s eyes were filled with tears. The mrdangas tumultuous sound of “Hari Bol!” and the sound of and kartalas maddened the devotees. After sometime that sight disappeared from my eyes.<br />
“The next day I walked to those places to take darsana of them and asked the elderly locals about them. They told me that this was Sriman Mahaprabhu’s birthplace. I visited all the small villages mentioned in Bhakti-ratnakara as well as those mentioned in Srila Vrndavana dasa Thakura’s Sri Caitanya-bhagavata. Thereafter I sat in Krsna-nagara and compiled the book “Sri Navadvipa-dhama-mahatmya” and sent it to be printed in Kolkata. I told Sri Dvarika Babu, an engineer from Krsna-nagara, about my findings. He could understand everything I said and on the strength of his intelligence he produced a map of Sri Navadvipa-mandala. I wandered throughout Navadvipa-dhama and wrote the Dhama-mahatmya, because at that time I could do nothing else.”<br />

At that time Sri Jagannatha dasa Babaji Maharaja went with many Vaisnavas to take darsana of Sri Mayapura. Overwhelmed by ecstatic sentiments, he himself pointed out Mahaprabhu’s birthplace, the lost Yogapitha-Mayapura. The 144-year-old Babaji Maharaja became overwhelmed with ecstasy and jumped into the air, crying out, “This is the birthplace of Gauracandra, our very life and soul!” Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, many famous writers of Bengal, many high-posted government officers, editors of famous magazines and others witnessed the event. Amongst them was Sri Syamalala Gosvami, the great and erudite Vaisnava. Also present were Sri Sasibhüsana Gosvami, Sri Radhikanatha Gosvami, Sri Vipina Bihari Gosvami, Sri Raya Vanamali, Sri Raya Bahadura, Sri Sisira Kumara Ghosa, Sri Dvarikanatha Sarakara and Sri Naphara Kumara. Some huts were eventually made here and the temple construction began. Gradually, faithful devotees from the various states of India came here to take darsana and now, crowds of people come from all over the world to this holy place.<br />

In Govardhana, just before the end of Sri Vraja-mandala Parikrama 2010, our beloved Gurudeva, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja personally invited all of us to attend Sri Navadvipa-mandala Parikrama in the holy land of Sri Navadvipa-dhama. This parikrama will be very special, for it will only be the second one without the physical presence of our most beloved Srila Gurudeva. We will share many remembrances of his glories and the Harikatha that forever emanates from his lotus mouth. Please do not miss this opportunity and try to be with us.<br />
<br />
This year, the festival will be inaugurated on March 2nd with the devotees observing sankalpa, or a vow to ensure the success of their parikrama. The last day of the festival will be March 9th.<br />

Navadwipa, let me touch your sacred soil, the same soil that is walked upon by Mahaprabhu's pink-tinged feet Let me take shelter of the saints that reside in Godrum, and bathe in mercy-river where Jalangi and Ganga meet The limbs of Gauranga resemble early sun above banana trees, Let me ring the dew-chilled temple bells again, please. Nitai like the glowing moon, dances through the night. Nadia, cradle of kirtan, be present in my sight.<br />

Srila Vamana Maharaja is the previous acarya of Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti. He departed from this world, and entered the eternal lila of the Lord, during the month of Kartik last year. <br />
Over 15,000 devotees were there for the auspicious occasion of the installation. There was much pomp and circumstance when Srila Narayana Maharaja arrived - devotees sounded bugles, threw flower petals and sang loud kirtana. <br />

Simultaneously, all the assembled devotees offered obeisances to Srila Narayana Maharaja. <br />

Today is an auspicious day. We have come here to Sri Devananda Gaudiya Matha for the installation of Srila Bhaktivedanta Vamana Maharaja's deity. He left this world during Vraja Mandala Parikrama last year, and today is Sri Gaura Purnima. We are greatly fortunate that we are installing his murti here. <br />
Srila Vamana Maharaja was a topmost devotee. He had so many wonderful qualities. He was extremely humble and had so much <i>guru-nistha</i> (strong faith in the lotus feet of Sri Guru). He was a powerful, exalted Vaisnava. He is my <i>siksa-guru</i>, as is Srila Bhaktivedanta Trivikrama Maharaja.<sup>* [See endnote 1]</sup> They are both my worshipful <i>siksa-gurus</i>. Both of them would always tell practically everyone who came to them about anything, "Please go to Narayana Maharaja." <br />
Srila Vamana Maharaja never had any sense of pride. After having given any lecture, he never thought, "Did they like it?" <br />
In the meantime, something happened so that we , became separate. This is the desire of Kala, the Time factor, and there is something auspicious in this. Now you see that there are so many people, both in your Matha (temple) and in our Matha [about 15,000 people in each]. It is not easy to control so many people. Thus, what has happened has been desired by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. <br />
This mood must be in your heart. You have called me, and I have come here today. This invitation should not simply be an outer show. You should have that will internally. We want to be together. We do not wish to create any separation. If you ever need help, please call me and I will come to help you. I am still the Vice-President of the Gaudiya Vedanta Samiti, and a life member of the Samiti as well. My name cannot be cut from the records. <br />
Together we have tried to preach Sriman Mahaprabhu's mission and the rupunuga-line – the teachings coming from Srila Rupa Gosvami. This is the mission of Srila Prabhupada Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, our Gurudeva Srila Bhakti Prajnana Kesava Gosvami Maharaja, and also Srila Bhaktivedanta Vamana Maharaja. <br />
I request, Paryataka Maharaja, that you will also be like this. You will not quarrel. You will stay with your god-brothers, just as our Srila Vamana Maharaja has done. You should try to make your character like them. You must be in friendship – in a very brotherly way with all your god-brothers. I pray that you will all act and be like this, and that we will all preach according to our rupanuga line. <br />
I have good wishes for everyone.<br />

For example, in the Philippines, in 2009, he said, “Navadvipa-dhama parikrama is coming very soon – after one month. I am inviting you all. If you have no money problem and you can come, and I will be very happy.” On the last day of this past Kartika, 2010, inviting all the devotees to Navadvipa, he announced, “I will be there.”</span></span></div><div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="color: #351c75; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span class="c_ic_name" id="rmic1_name"><span style="font-family: ScaGoudy; line-height: 115%;">And, he was.

People will know Me as Gauranga, and I will charm everyone by performing a variety of enchanting pastimes. I will manifest the glory of the holy name and thus madden the common people with the chanting of these names. I will change the hearts of even the sinners and give them love of God, which even the demigods rarely attain. In My youth I will accept sannyasa, after which I will reside in Sri Jagannatha Puri. At that time My mother Saci-devi, who is none other than Kausalya, will weep, holding her daughter-in-law Visnupriya in her arms. You will be that Visnupriya. I will thereafter remain in Puri, and will also weep for you day and night.’</span></span></div><div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="color: #351c75; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

In sambhoga-rasa the pleasure one receives in meeting is prominent.

Only in separation do one-pointed rasika devotees attain the unlimited bliss of service. Without vipralambha, sambhoga-rasa is not nourished and instead tastes like vipralambha.

Then my siksa-gurus, nitya-lila pravistha om visnupada Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja, to Srila Bhaktivedanta Vamana Gosvami Maharaja and Srila Bhaktivedanta Trivikrama Maharaja. I offer millions of obeisances at their lotus feet. I also offer appropriate respects to my god-brothers, and to all the tridandipad sannyasis, Vaisnavas and Vaisnavis.<br />
<br />
</div><div class="entry"> Today we are very fortunate. We have assembled in Navadvipa-dhama. This dhama (abode of the Lord, manifested in this world) is very remarkable, but not everyone can understand its glories. Fulfilling the desire of Srila Prabhupada Sarasvati Thakura, my Gurudeva established this Devananda Gaudiya Matha – replete with nine spires and the deity of Koladeva (Varahadeva). It is located in the very place in which the smarta-brahmanas who were opposed to Srila Prabhupada had made their headquarters.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="344" src="http://www.varahaschool.net/images/varaha-col-pic2.jpg" width="166" /></div><br />
<br />
Srila Prabodhananda Sarasvati reveals the secret of Navadvipa-dhama in his Navadvipa Satakam (verse 78):<br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="center"><strong>aradhitah nava-vanah vraja-kananah te<br />
naradhitah nava-vanah vraja eva dure<br />
aradhito dvija-suto vraja-nagaras te<br />
naradhito dvija-suto na taveha krsnah</strong></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center"><br />
</div>“If you worship the nine islands of Navadvipa, you are actually worshiping Vrndavana and can easily gain entrance into that confidential place. If you don’t worship and take shelter of Navadvipa-dhama, Vrndavana will be very far away from you. If someone will worship dvija-suta (Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu), the son of the brahmana Jagannatha Misra, that person will attain vraja-nagara Sri Krsna in Vrndavana. If one worships Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is actually Krsna Himself, in Navadvipa, one is performing complete worship of Krsna. Worshiping Sacinanadana Gaurahari in Navadvipa is as good as worshiping Krsna in Vrndavana. If one does not worship dvija-suta Gaurahari, Lord Krsna will be very far away.”<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="311" src="http://www.prabhupada.org/prabhupadadesh/a_deposito_oggetti/fotos/gn1.jpg" width="350" /></div><br />
<br />
Navadvipa-dhama is especially noteworthy for the confluence of five rivers – Panca-veni. If one dives into Panca-veni, one will surface in the Yamuna River at Kesi Ghata in Vrndavana. Gaurangera sangi gane, nitya-siddhe kori mane, se jaya vrajendra-suta pasa – and if one understands that Mahaprabhu’s associates are eternally perfect, one will attain the lotus feet of Vrajendra-nandana Syamasundara.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="478" src="http://www.vrindavan.de/radhikastaka/gopis-yamuna.jpg" width="370" /></div><br />
<br />
Yet, even though Navadvipa-dhama is non-different from Vrndavana, there is some speciality:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="center"><strong>‘</strong><strong>krsna-nama’ kare aparadhera vicara</strong><br />
<strong> krsna balile aparadhira na haya vikara</strong> </div><div align="right">(CC Adi 8.24)</div>“If someone will chant krsna-nama but at the same time commit the ten offenses, he will not experience melting of the heart and tears flowing from his eyes.” However:<br />
<br />
<div align="center"><strong>gaura-nityanande nahi esaba vicara</strong><br />
<strong> nama laite prema dena, vahe asrudhara</strong> </div><div align="right">(CC Adi 8.31)</div>Gaura-nityananda-nama does not consider any offense. If someone chants their names, his heart will melt and tears will flow from his eyes. Thus, gaura-nama is more merciful than krsna-nama. Gaura-dhama also, for the same reason, is more merciful than Krsna-dhama, Vrndavana. Lord Indra, who had committed a grave offense to Sri Krsna, came to Navadvipa with Surabhi, and here Mahaprabhu completely forgave his offense. Indra had previously approached Sri Krsna in Vrndavana, but he had to come here to get full relief.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="344" src="http://www.purebhakti.com/images/stories/art/1/4.jpg" width="258" /></div><br />
<br />
One may say he already knows Navadvipa-dhama and there is no need to hear anything further about it. Please don’t think like this. Its glories are very deep. To enter into the secrets of this dhama, we must discuss its many different aspects. We also pray to Navadvipa-dhama that it will reveal its profound glories to us.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="" height="294" src="http://www.bhaktibrasil.com/_images/agenda_sripad_bv_vana_clip_image001_0002.jpg" width="429" /></div><br />
<br />
Our goal is not Krsna. Love of Krsna and service to Krsna is our goal. If one has no love for Lord Sri Krsna’s lotus feet, one cannot serve Him. Kamsa and Jarasandha were both with Krsna, but they had no love and affection for Him. Thus they were unable to relish the bliss of service. So our goal is krsna-prema.<br />

One should come to Navadvipa-dhama, take shelter of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and be very careful to observe trnad api sunicena taror iva sahisnuna amanina manadena kirtaniya sada hari. Always chanting and dancing, give respect to others. Don’t demand respect from others. Tolerate all difficulties and consider yourself more insignificant than a blade of grass. If you will do this, you will very easily attain Krsna-prema.<br />

<br />
Hoje sinto prazer ilimitado, pois pela inspiração e misericórdia sem causa do meu mais adorável Mestre Santo Om Vishnupada Sri Srimad Bhakti Prajnana Keshava Goswami Maharaja, estamos publicando esta inédita edição do Sri Navadwipa Dhama Mahatmya, Parikrama Khanda, o trabalho original em Bengali foi compilado pelo sétimo Goswami Srila Saccidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura que é a personificação de Sri Gouranga Mahaprabhu.<br />
Sri Goura e Sri Krishna possuem o mesmo princípio espiritual (tattva), não há diferença entre eles, a residência de Sri Krishna Sri Vrindavana e simirlamente idêntica em todos os aspectos a residência de Sri Goura, Sri Navadwipa que é na verdade chamada de Gupta Vrindavana (a Vrindavana escondida). Assim ambos os princípios divinos (Tattvas) e as moradas sagradas (Dhamas) são eternas e não são afetadas por considerações mundanas como o tempo, lugar e circunstância. <br />
Krishna-nama kare aparadhera vicara (Sri chaitanya caritamrta adi lila 8.24). Até mesmo se alguém esta cantando o nome de Krishna, mas comete ofensas ela não vai se capaz de obter amor por krishna (krishna–prema) em milhões e milhões de vidas. Em contra-partida, Gaura nitianandera nahi e saba vicara, nama laile prema dena, bahe asrudhara, Sri Goura e Sri Nityananda não consideram nenhuma ofensa. Quando alguém canta seus nomes, prema desperta no coração e torrentes de lagrimas jorram dos seus olhos. Assim como Sri Goura Hari e sua morada Navadvipa Dhama é supremamente liberal e é a mais magnânima das moradas sagradas. Sem adorar e obter a misericórdia de Sri Goura Hari e sua morada Sri Navadvipa, é impossível obter darsana (a visão) e a misericórdia de Sri Vrindavana. <br />

Inédito - Primeira vez em portugues!!!<br />

Capítulo 1<br />
<br />
A Esência do Dhama <br />
<br />
<br />
Mangalacharana - Invocação auspiciosa - A palavra 'prema' significa "amor puro ou extase transcendental"<br />
<br />
<br />
Todas as glórias à Sri Saci-nandana, a lua de Sri Navadvipa! Todas as Glórias, todas as glórias ao avadhuta Sri Nityananda Prabhu! (1) <br />
<br />
Todas as glórias, todas as glórias á Sri Advaita Acharya Prabhu! <br />
Todas as glórias, todas as glórias á Sri Gadadhara Pandita e Srivasa Pandita! (2)<br />
<br />
Todas as glórias a Sri Navadvipa Dhama, a essência de todos os lugares sagrados! Todas as glórias aos habitantes de Navadvipa, a família de Sri Goura! (3)<br />
<br />
Prestando os meus respeitos aos pés de lótus de todos os devotos, Eu (Sri Bhaktivinod Thakur) vou brevemente descrever as glórias de Sri Navadvipa Dhama! (4)<br />
<br />
As glórias de Sri Navadvipa Dhama São incomparáveis. Se até mesmo o Deus Brahma e outros como ele não conhecem suas glórias, então quem é capaz de descreve-las? (5)<br />
<br />
<br />
Se Bhagavan Sesa não tem sucesso em descrever as Glórias de Navadvipa Dhama, com suas centenas de bocas, então como posso eu uma insignificante entidade viva, descreve-las? (6) <br />
<br />
Na verdade, as glórias de Sri Navadvipa são ilimitadas. Até mesmo Mahadeva, o Deus dos semi-deuses não pode descrevê-las totalmente. (7)<br />
<br />
No entanto o desejo de Sri Chaitanya Chandra e muito poderoso, e é apenas de acordo com o seu desejo que os devotos compartem suas idéias com os outros. (8)<br />
<br />
De acordo com o desejo de Sri Chaitanya, os devotos os instruíram a descrever a excelência de Sri Navadvipa, eu posso fazê-lo apenas devido a sua misericordiosa ordem. (9)<br />
<br />
Há também outro tópico extremamente confidencial. Mesmo que eu não tenha o desejo de compartilhar isto, eu não posso desistir de falar. (10)<br />
<br />
Quando Sri Chaitania Mahaprabhu conclui seus passatempos manifestos, ele disse aos devotos para revelar os passatempos de Sri Navadvipa. (11)<br />
<br />
A descida do meu mais adorável Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu e mais confidencial do que todas as outras encarnações de Deus. O universo inteiro sabe disso. (12)<br />
<br />
Nas escrituras passatempos confidenciais são descritos de forma oculta. Tais passatempos não manifestam no coração dos não devotos. (13) <br />
<br />
Até mesmo sabendo que há muitas escrituras confidencias que descrevem estes passatempos, Maya-devi os mantém escondidos por um longo tempo. (14)<br />
<br />
Narrativas de Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu foram descritas em muitos lugares, em escrituras conhecidas pelo público e também em escrituras não conhecidas. Assim Maya-devi sempre as escondem dos olhos dos intelectuais. (15-16)<br />
<br />
Quando Sri Gaurasundara completou seus passatempos, Maya-devi, agindo de acordo com o Seu desejo, removeu a poeira que cobria os olhos das jivas e revelou neste mundo material, a verdadeira natureza de Sri Gaura (gaura-tattva). (17-18)<br />
<br />
Todas as escrituras manifestaram facilmente este tópico, e a inclinação das jivas em debater isto, também manifestou. (19)<br />
<br />
O mais misericordioso Sri Nityananda Prabhu revelou gaura-tattva nos corações das entidades vivas. (20)<br />
<br />
Seguindo a ordem de Sri Nityananda prabhu, Maya-devi removeu a poeira que havia colocado sobre as escrituras, e assim os inteligentes, devotos puros, obtiveram a riqueza das escrituras. (21)<br />
<br />
Porque tal pessoa é tão desafortunada?que apesar de escutar tudo isto, não teve suas dúvidas removidas e inutilmente mantém sua vida? (22)<br />
<br />
Uma pessoa afortunada se torna completamente feliz por receber a misericórdia de Deus em qualquer hora e de qualquer maneira que Deus escolha para distribuí-la. (23)<br />
<br />
Nós devemos entender que aquele que pensa “Eu sou o mais inteligente de todos, é o mais desafortunado de todos”. (24)<br />
<br />
Aquele que não aceita a misericórdia de Deus cai repetidamente na armadilha da energia ilusória através de sua falsa lógica. (25)<br />
<br />
“Venha. Ó entidades vivas de Kali Yuga! Deixe a duplicidade e aceite o verdadeiro processo para se obter amor puro por Gouranga”. (26)<br />
<br />
Mesmo que Sri Nityananda Prabhu chame todos desta maneira, aqueles que são desafortunados não aceitam Gouranga-prema. (27)<br />
<br />
Porque eles não honram este Prema? Por favor considere isto cuidadosamente. (28)<br />
<br />
Neste mundo material todos estão buscando felicidade através da lógica, de liberação, do yoga, e assim por diante. (29)<br />
<br />
Apenas para obter felicidade alguns deixam à vida material e vão para a floresta, e apenas para obter felicidade reis fazem guerras com outros reis. (30)<br />
<br />
Apenas para obter felicidade alguns correm atrás de mulheres e riquezas, e apenas para obter felicidade alguns engajam em artes e ciências. (31)<br />
<br />
Alguns procurando por felicidade abandonam o desejo por isto e aprendem a tolerar as misérias, enquanto outros se afundam no oceano e cometem suicídio para alcançar isto. (32)<br />
<br />
Nityanada Prabhu levanta seus braços e clama bem alto “Ó entidades vivas! Venham até mim e deixe para trás os aborrecimentos e dificuldades do karma e do jnana.” (33)<br />
<br />
“Eu vou facilmente lhe dar felicidade, a qual você está se esforçando tanto, e eu não pedirei nada em troca.” (34)<br />
<br />
“Você não encontrará nenhuma dificuldade, você não terá nenhuma despesa, e você não enfrentará nenhum tipo de sofrimento. Abandone todas as apreensões e simplesmente cante o nome de Gourahari e dança. (35)<br />
<br />
“Não há nenhuma felicidade como esta que vou lhe dar. Tal felicidade está sempre preenchida com êxtase puro e está além de toda ilusão.” (36)<br />
<br />
Assim, Sri Nityananda Prabhu desejou distribuir este prema que é raramente obtido até mesmo pelo Deus Brahma e outros. Devido ao resultado negativo de suas próprias atividades passadas, desafortunadamente as pessoas não querem aceitar este prema. (37)<br />
<br />
O mal resultado de ilimitadas atividades fruitivas são destruídas por aqueles que mesmo uma só vez vibra o nome de Gouranga-Nitai. (38)<br />
<br />
Todos vocês, por favor escutem este tópico mais confidencial. O tesouro de Goura-lila é o objetivo mais significativo para as entidades vivas de Kali-yuga. (39)<br />
<br />
Assim como Sri Sri Radha e Krishna, Sri Goura Hari desfruta de passatempos eternos com as sakhis em Vrindavana. (40)<br />
<br />
Através das escrituras, a jiva pode compreender a real natureza de vraja-lila e as glórias dos passatempos eternos de Sri Radha-Krishna em Vraja. (41)<br />
<br />
Através das escrituras, o mundo inteiro agora sabe que as glórias dos nomes de Krishna e de sua morada são ilimitadas. (42)<br />
<br />
Apesar disto, por que nem todos conseguem krishna-prema? Reflita um pouco sobre isto em seu coração. (43)<br />
<br />
Além desta questão há uma Verdade profunda, a qual as entidades vivas que estão cegas pela energia ilusória, não meditam. (44)<br />
<br />
Se alguém não obtêm prema até mesmo após adorar Sri Krishna por muitas vidas, fica claro que tal pessoa cometeu muitas ofensas. (45)<br />
<br />
Se uma pessoa canta os nomes de Krishna sem ofensas, ela obtém krishna-prema sem nenhuma dificuldade. (46)<br />
<br />
O fato mais impressionante sobre a encarnação de Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu é que através Dele, a jiva pode obter o tesouro de prema até mesmo quando há ofensas. (47)<br />
<br />
O completamente puro krishna-prema procura pela jiva que clama bem alto “Ó Nitai, Ó Chaitanya!” (48)<br />
<br />
Ofensas não podem perturbar tal pessoa. Porque ela está absorta no puro krishna-prema, rios de lágrimas fluem dos seus olhos. (49)<br />
<br />
Após pouco tempo, suas ofensas correm para bem longe. Seu coração se torna puro, e prema desenvolve internamente. (50)<br />
<br />
As ofensas das entidades vivas de Kali-yuga são incontáveis e temerosas. Sem cantar o nome de Goura, estas jivas não podem ser liberadas. (51)<br />
<br />
Assim sendo, as escrituras repetem bem alto que sem cantar o nome de Goura não há outro caminho para a liberação das pessoas. (52)<br />
<br />
Sri Navadvip-dhama é a jóia preciosa de todos os lugares santos, pois Sri Gourachandra apareceu lá. (53)<br />
<br />
Em outros lugares santos, uma pessoa ofensiva tem que sofrer as reações de tais ofensas. Mas em Sri Navadvip as ofensas sempre se mantém distantes. (54)<br />
<br />
A evidência disto são os irmãos Jagai e Madhai. Eles obtiveram a misericórdia de ambos, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu e Nityananda Prabhu até mesmo sabendo que eles haviam cometido várias ofensas (55)<br />
<br />
<br />
O que falar de outros lugares sagrados, até mesmo em Vraja-dhama os ofensivos demônios são punidos. (56)<br />
<br />
Assim sendo, até mesmo se alguém inconscientemente comete centenas de ofensas em Sri Navadvip, tal pessoa pode facilmente ser liberada pela misericórdia de Sri Nityananda Prabhu. (57)<br />
<br />
Todos os santos consideram Gauda-mandala como sendo o mais glorioso dos locais sagrados porque Sri Navadvip está situado nesta em sua área. (58)<br />
<br />
Aquele que reside nesta Sri Navadvipa-dhama é extremamente afortunado. Ele obtém apego amoroso a Sri Krishna. (60)<br />
<br />
Todas as escrituras proclamam que uma pessoa que simplesmente lembra de Navadvip obterá o mesmo resultado de um peregrino que visitou todos os lugares sagrados. (61)<br />
<br />
Aquele que visita Sri Navadvip-dhama obtém o tesouro de krishna-prema vida após vida. (62)<br />
<br />
Aqueles que vão a Navadvipa e engajam em atividades fruitivas, ou em busca intelectual procurando pelo supremo ou para qualquer atividade, não terá mais que submeter a repetidos nascimentos e mortes neste mundo perecível. (63)<br />
<br />
O resultado de cada degrau alcançado em Sri Navadvipa é equivalente ao resultado obtido em milhões de sacrifícios asvamedha. Isto é também confirmado em todas as escrituras. (64)<br />
<br />
Uma pessoa que canta este mantra em Navadvipa vai ver a deidade do mantra aparecendo justo na sua frente e cruzará facilmente o oceano da existência material. (65)<br />
<br />
O resultado que um yogui obtém depois de dez anos em outros lugares sagrados são obtidos simplesmente por residir em Navadvipa apenas por três noites. (66)<br />
<br />
A liberação adquirida em outros lugares através de árduas práticas de brahma-jnana é obtida em Sri Navadvip simplesmente por banhar-se no Bhagirathi-Ganga. (67)<br />
<br />
Em Navadvip, as pessoas desejando se livrar dos repetidos nascimentos neste mundo, obtém diferentes tipos de liberação como; salokya (residir no mesmo planeta que Deus), sarupya (obter uma forma similar a de Deus), samipya (se tornar um associado pessoal de Deus), e jiva-brahmarupa aikya (sayuja, ou imergir na refulgência de Deus), sem ter nenhum tipo de conhecimento especulativo (jnana). (68)<br />
<br />
Em Navadvipa, desfrute material e liberação sempre mantém como servos dos divinos pés dos devotos puros. (69)<br />
<br />
Devotos tentam chutar bhukti (desfrute material) e mukti (liberação) para bem longe, ainda sim bhukti e mukti não abandonam os pés de tais devotos. (70)<br />
<br />
Ó irmão! O resultado que uma pessoa obtém por residir nos sete locais sagrados por cem anos, a saber (Ayodhya, Mathura, Mayapuri (Haridvar), Kasi, Kanci, Ujjain e Dvaraka, pode ser obtido por residir apenas uma noite em Sri Navadvipa. (71)<br />
<br />
Este Sri Navadvip-dhama é a essência de todos os lugares sagrados. Na kali-yuga, as entidades vivas podem cruzar facilmente o oceano da existência material por tomar refúgio neste local santo. (72)<br />
<br />
