  • Sri Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya-Lila Chapter 8 Verse 128
    Sri Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya-lila Chapter 8 Verse 128 http://vedabase.net/cc/madhya/8/128/en2 Chapter 8: Talks Between Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Madhya-lila Ramananda Raya Bhaktivedanta VedaBase : Sri Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 8.128 kiba vipra, kiba nyasi, sudra kene naya yei krsna-tattva-vetta, sei 'guru' haya SYNONYMS kiba -- whether; vipra -- a brahmana; kiba -- whether; nyasi -- a sannyasi; sudra -- a sudra; kene -- why; naya -- not; yei -- anyone who; krsna -tattva -vetta -- a knower of the science of Krsna; sei -- that person; guru -- the spiritual master; haya -- is. TRANSLATION "Whether one is a brahmana, a sannyasi or a sudra -- regardless of what he is -- he can become a spiritual master if he knows the science of Krsna." PURPORT This verse is very important to the Krsna consciousness movement. In his Amrta- pravaha-bhasya, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura explains that one should not think that because Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was born a brahmana and was situated in the topmost spiritual order as a sannyasi, it was improper for Him to receive instructions from Srila Ramananda Raya, who belonged to the sudra caste. To clarify this matter, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu informed Ramananda Raya that knowledge of Krsna consciousness is more important than caste. In the system of varnasrama-dharma there are various duties for the brahmanas, ksatriyas, vaisyas and sudras. Actually the brahmana is supposed to be the spiritual master of all other varnas, or classes, but as far as Krsna consciousness is concerned, everyone is capable of becoming a spiritual master because knowledge in Krsna consciousness is on the platform of the spirit soul.

  • Is the Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya Connected to the Madhva Line?
    Is the Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya connected to the Madhva line? Is the Gaudiya Vaishnava sampradaya connected to the Madhva line? – Jagadananda Das – The relationship of the Madhva-sampradaya to the Gaudiya Vaishnavas is one that has been sensitive for more than 200 years. Not only did it rear its head in the time of Baladeva Vidyabhushan, when the legitimacy of the Gaudiyas was challenged in Jaipur, but repeatedly since then. Bhaktivinoda Thakur wrote in his 1892 work Mahaprabhura siksha that those who reject this connection are “the greatest enemies of Sri Krishna Chaitanya’s family of followers.” In subsequent years, nearly every scholar of Bengal Vaishnavism has cast his doubts on this connection including S. K. De, Surendranath Dasgupta, Sundarananda Vidyavinoda, Friedhelm Hardy and others. The degree to which these various authors reject this connection is different. According to Gaudiya tradition, Madhavendra Puri appeared in the 14th century. He was a guru of the Brahma or Madhva-sampradaya, one of the four (Brahma, Sri, Rudra and Sanaka) legitimate Vaishnava lineages of the Kali Yuga. Madhavendra’s disciple Isvara Puri took Sri Krishna Chaitanya as his disciple. The followers of Sri Chaitanya are thus members of the Madhva line. The authoritative sources for this identification with the Madhva lineage are principally four: Kavi Karnapura’s Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika (1576), the writings of Gopala Guru Goswami from around the same time, Baladeva’s Prameya-ratnavali from the late 18th century, and anothe late 18th century work, Narahari’s

  • Free Writes Gaura Purnima Meeting on Saturday We Entered Keli-Lalita's
    1 Free Write Journal #82 Free Writes Gaura Purnima Meeting On Saturday we entered Keli-lalita’s yoga studio, and she was leading kirtana with the harmonium. Saci Suta was accompanying her with a short Indian drum. It was very nice. Gathered were about twenty adults and eight children. The kirtana lasted about half an hour, then I was asked to speak. I had prepared a summary of Lord Caitanya’s life, centering on the external reasons for His appearance and the confidential reasons. I told of His mischievous early childhood, His intensive school studies (in which He was a proud scholar and did not associate with the Vaisnavas). Then He became married to Laksmi. After that, He went to Gaya to offer pinda for the welfare of His deceased father, Jagannatha Misra. At Gaya He met Isvara Puri and was very impressed by him. Isvara Puri became attached to Nimai Pandita. Finally Nimai asked Isvara Puri for initiation. After this, Nimai’s life changed completely. He returned to Navadvipa as an ecstatic pure devotee, always chanting the names of Krsna. He gave up His proud demeanor, and in His school He taught that all grammar ends in the worship of Krsna. He joined in the nightly kirtanas in Srivasa Pandita’s house. He created a great influence among the Vaisnavas. Everyone respected Him—except the student brahmana community. Once, in the mood of the gopis, Nimai Pandita was chanting, 2 “Gopi! G0pi! Gopi!” A student happened to come by and hear him. He went up to Nimai Pandita and said, “What benefit will you get from chanting the names of the gopis? You should chant the names of Krsna.” Nimai was in the mood of the gopis, who are sometimes angry at Krsna for His creating separation from them.
