Prahlad maharaja offered his wonderful prayers, after hearing transcendental knowledge from Narada Muni, he told Narasimha Dev, that “who else can I serve my beloved Guru Maharaj and through his Guru Maharaj, he was serving all living beings.” Lord Narasimha Dev, he offered Prahlad any benediction. Prahlad Maharaj, he said, “If I ask anything from you, then I'm not your devotee. then I'm just doing business with you. I only want that there be no material desires, no egoism or selfishness to the very core of my heart, because then, pure love, pure devotion can shine through me.” When a devotee asks for no material desires, it's because he wants nothing to obstruct his humble selfless love from shining. Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, in his beautiful sikshashtakam, he revealed the heart of Prahlad and all the great mahajans and the aspiration of every true devotee.

“Diving deep into the reality of His own beauty and sweetness, Kṛṣṇa stole the mood of Rādhārāṇī and, garbing Himself in Her brilliant luster, appeared as Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu. For the last twelve years of His manifest Pastimes, He was deeply absorbed in the mood of union and separation, and shared His heart’s inner feelings with His most confidential devotees. In the agony of separation from Kṛṣṇa, volcanic eruptions of ecstasy flowed from His heart, and His teachings, known as Śikṣāṣṭakam, appeared from His lips like streams of golden lava. I fall at the feet of Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu, the golden volcano of divine love.”

-Śrīla Bhakti Rakṣak Śrīdhar Dev-Goswāmī Mahārāj, "Śrī Śrī Prema-dhāma-deva-stotram” [54] 

Encoded in the ancient language of Sanskrit and expressing an intensity of divine love never before seen in this world, the deep meanings of the Śikṣāṣṭakam are an impenetrable treasure, inaccessible to anyone who cannot also feel what is expressed therein. Therefore, several hundred years after Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's appearance, Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura crafted each verse into a Bengali song that clarifies and elaborates the meaning while exemplifying the feeling expressed in each. Song by song, Śrīla Bhaktivinoda illustrates the progression of the pure hearts’ love for Kṛṣṇa to the highest stages of union-in-separation. 

On this most auspicious occasion of Śrī Gaura-pūrṇimā, the divine appearance of Śrī Gaurāṅga Mahāprabhu, we humbly present this offering of Śikṣāṣṭakam. Chanted in the traditional ragas by Bhakti Lalitā Devī, with mṛdaṅga played by Sudarshan Prabhu and karatals played by Anukrishna D.D. and Kanika D.D.;  brought to you by the tireless service of Anantadev Prabhu and with the much appreciated assistance of Gaura Govinda Prabhu at Theistic Media Studios; recording began during the holy month of Kartik when Śikṣāṣṭakam is customarily chanted. Cover design by Pavan Krishna Prabhu.
