Sri Guruvashtakam - Samsara Davanal

ājānu-lambita-bhujau kanakāvadātau
saṅkīrtanaika-pitarau kamalāyatākṣau
viśvambharau dvija-varau yuga-dharma-pālau
vande jagat priya-karau karuṇāvatārau

I offer my respectful obeisances unto Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri  Nityananda Prabhu, whose arms extend down to Their knees, who have  golden yellow complexions, and who inaugurated the congregational  chanting of the holy names of the Lord. Their eyes resemble the petals  of a lotus flower; They are the maintainers of the living entities, the best  of the brahmanas, the protectors of religious principles for this age, the  benefactors of the universe, and the most merciful of all incarnations.

TRANSLATION
1) My friend! That most magnanimous Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu has appeared as the rising sun to dispel the darkness of this age Kali.
 
2) His brilliant golden complexion shames the bright luster of gold, and His beauty defeats the pride of Cupid. His curly black hair is decorated with a garland made of malati flowers, and bumble bees fly around them.
 
3) His beautiful moonlike face is decorated with tilaka, and His dressing enchants the whole world. His sweet smile delivers all embodied souls from the mire of material existence, by generating in them greed for love of Godhead. He displays unique ecstatic symptoms.
 
4) He Hankering to relish the unparalleled pastimes of the greatly munificent Sri Gaurasundara, who distributes mercy in the form of nama-prema to the supremely fortunate niskincana souls (those whose only possession is love of Krishna), the fallen and foolish Radha-mohana sings in a mood of great distress

Balaram Jayanti Festival Class By HH Radhanath Swami At ISKCON Chowpatty On 3rd Aug 20

Семинар Гопипаранадханы прабху по главам 1 и 2 Второй песни "Шримад-Бхагаватам". Перевод на русский: Мадана-мохан дас

01-Первые наставления Шукадевы Госвами — Обзор Второй песни

In Vrindavan, there are many temples and they, their tradition is all the festivals of the whole year can be celebrated during Purshottam month and its non-different than that day. So, in one temple they just choose any day of Purshottam masa and say we are going to celebrate Janmasahtami again and its considered to be the day of Janmasahtami, the tithi and everything its right there. And another day Radhaashtami and another day Govardhan pooja and another day Holi and another day Gaur Purnima, another day Ram-Navmi, another day Nityanand Trayodashi, they just have festivals every day and is considered to be that day. That's the way many temples do because this month is so special to access and connect again to Krishna. So, let us take advantage and focus and increase our sadhana and increase our awareness and increase our humility and most of all increase our service attitude, our enthusiasm to please Krishna and in this spirit to chant the holy names from our hearts. Srila Prabhupada Ki Jai
