Sharad Purnima - Mayapur Kirtan Mela D2 14.3.21

Back to the present 😊... This is a quicky born from some serious emotion re connecting to my first band. The power of nostalgia is something else. The power of nostalgia wrapped in music for me is one of the most giant forces in the universe. We gotta use it to teach in my pea head opinion. How music helps us wire our brains is just different to everything else and I strongly believe the only reason it's not in schools yet more deeply is because we just haven't done that yet... Let's make it so! It literally can be a time machine for knowledge if we design it to be that!

Pure Path

Good master moments
Memories
Nostalgia
Reborn energy
Past power psychalgia
Lessons of love
Forever teams
Bands of humans
Fill our dreams

We've hibernated to screen
Turn around to scream
Oh fine door bells
Connect this scene
Those random visits
Outside of insular
Soothe simple figdets
Bond presence sprinkler

Stoned on door step
Crying for Kurt
Slagging each other
Seeding that worth
Memorable memes
Lost to computer
Ok, changed are those dreams
But they still needing suture

Here's to love
Here's to light
Here's to pure path
Let's forget the fight

Pure Path

Espacio de Sonidos Bellos que llenan de fe y alegría el Alma.

Srila Prabhupada says: 
Rama and Krishna are names of God, and Hare is the energy of God. So when we chant the maha-mantra, we address God together with His energy. This energy is of two kinds, the spiritual and the material. At present we are in the clutches of the material energy. Therefore we pray to Krishna that He may kindly deliver us from the service of the material energy and accept us into the service of the spiritual energy. That is our whole philosophy. Hare Krishna means, "O energy of God, O God [Krishna], please engage me in Your service." It is our nature to render service. Somehow or other we have come to the service of material things, but when this service is transformed into the service of the spiritual energy, then our life is perfect.

Srila Prabhupada Bhajans: - Hare Krsna Kirtan

pancha-tattva mantra
(jaya) sri-krsna-caitanya prabhu nityananda
sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is always accompanied by His plenary expansion Sri Nityananda Prabhu, His incarnation Sri Advaita Prabhu, His internal potency Sri Gadadhara Prabhu, and His marginal potency Srivasa Prabhu. He is in the midst of them as the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

One should know that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is always accompanied by these other tattvas. Therefore our obeisances to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu are complete when we say, sri-krsna-caitanya prabhu nityananda sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrinda.

As preachers of the Krsna consciousness movement, we first offer our obeisances to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu by chanting this Panca-tattva mantra; then we say Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. There are ten offenses in the chanting of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, but these are not considered in the chanting of the Panca-tattva mantra, namely sri-krsna-caitanya prabhu nityananda sri-advaita gadadhara srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vrnda.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is known as maha-vadanyavatara, the most magnanimous incarnation, for He does not consider the offenses of the fallen souls. Thus to derive the full benefit of the chanting of the maha-mantra (Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare / Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare), we must first take shelter of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, learn the Panca-tattva mantra, and then chant the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. That will be very effective.

Srila Prabhupada Bhajans:  Pancha-Tattva Maha-mantra:

English Translation:

SRI GURV-ASTAKAM:
The spiritual master is receiving benediction from the ocean of mercy. Just as a cloud pours water on a forest fire to extinguish it, so the spiritual master delivers the materially afflicted world by extinguishing the blazing fire of material existence. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is an ocean of auspicious qualities.
Chanting the holy name, dancing in ecstasy, singing, and playing musical instruments, the spiritual master is always gladdened by the sańkīrtana movement of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Because he is relishing the mellows of pure devotion within his mind, sometimes his hair stands on end, he feels quivering in his body, and tears flow from his eyes like waves. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.
The spiritual master is always engaged in the temple worship of Srī Srī Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. He also engages his disciples in such worship. They dress the Deities in beautiful clothes and ornaments, clean Their temple, and perform other similar worship of the Lord. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.
The spiritual master is always offering Kṛṣṇa four kinds of delicious food [analyzed as that which is licked, chewed, drunk, and sucked]. When the spiritual master sees that the devotees are satisfied by eating bhagavat-prasāda, he is satisfied. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.
The spiritual master is always eager to hear and chant about the unlimited conjugal pastimes of Rādhikā and Mādhava, and Their qualities, names, and forms. The spiritual master aspires to relish these at every moment. I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.
The spiritual master is very dear, because he is expert in assisting the gopīs, who at different times make different tasteful arrangements for the perfection of Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa's conjugal loving affairs within the groves of Vṛndāvana. I offer my most humble obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master.
The spiritual master is to be honored as much as the Supreme Lord, because he is the most confidential servitor of the Lord. This is acknowledged in all revealed scriptures and followed by all authorities. Therefore I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of such a spiritual master, who is a bona fide representative of Srī Hari [Kṛṣṇa].
By the mercy of the spiritual master one receives the benediction of Kṛṣṇa. Without the grace of the spiritual master, one cannot make any advancement. Therefore, I should always remember and praise the spiritual master. At least three times a day I should offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of my spiritual master.
One who, with great care and alteration, loudly recites this beautiful prayer to the spiritual master during the Brahma-muhurta hour obtains direct service to Krsna, the Lord of Vrndavana, at the time of his death.

From: "Stavamrta Lahari" by  Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura.

Srila Prabhupada Bhajans: Sri Sri Gurv-Astaka ~ Prayers To The Spiritual Master

ISKCON Mayapur Kirtan Mela 2018

Day 4 Kirtan - Niranjana Swami  | ISKCON Mayapur Kirtan Mela 2018

The Bhakti Center Fundraiser 'Srila Prabhupada's Dream', evoked a meditation on the courageous actions of A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, who came to New York City in 1965. 

'Lover of the Lord', an original song by Michael Cassidy/Mangalananda Das, illuminates the beautiful character of Prabhupada, singing the refrain 'When I see his love I know, I've got a long long way to go, when will I taste the love that he is feeling inside?'

'Markine Bhagavat Dharma' is a rendition of a few verses from a poem written in Bengali by Srila Prabhupada, sitting aboard the cargo ship as it pulled into Commonwealth Harbour in Boston. After more than 38 days and two heart attacks onboard, he contemplates his mission and prays 'Oh Lord, make me dance as a puppet in your hands...'
