(Some Extracts)
Thank you very much for
these wonderful Audio Lectures on the Mahaprakash Lila which You have placed on
Your website. It is almost 17 hours of pure bliss to listen to. Jaya Swami
Gaurangapada! --- Daniel, Belgium.
--------------------------------
Thank you for
facilitating enhanced viewing of all the great services to their Lordships
online, I am benefitting from chanting the two new ( to me mantras of Gauranga
and Nityananda following your guidance with
the online audio samples. I have some nice reflections and experiences
through this with some Hare Krishna chanting which I could share in the
allocated section of the website at some stage, but in essence the tremendous
revelation is that one is in touch with The Real and not some concocted
nonsense found elsewhere and posing as religion. The Lord reveals tiny
fragments of His inconceivable potency that make absoloute reality and sense to
the devotee on his or her own personal level. Reading the Chaitanya Bhagavata
puts one in touch with the personality of the Lord how full of sweet humour and
divine jokes He is! Just reading a few of His pastimes with His close ones
brings such a superb rasa or flavour of the Absoloute. --- Michael, UK.
--------------------------------
It was invigorating to transcribe the Chaitanya Bhagavata lectures and
commentaries. I am really thoroughly
enjoying learning about these Associates of Lord Gauranga whom hitherto I just
had pictures of and put on my altar and uttered their names, now they are
starting to mean something to me, so thank you for engaging me in this way.
Nityananda! Gauranga! Hare Krishna! --- Chandrika Gauranga dasi.
--------------------------------
Your new website design
is most certainly the most inspired,well thought out,so wonderfully
designed,and the content is drenched in
the loving nectar of Nityananda Gauranga. Without your website, I would be totally devoid of your most
precious assocation. --- Lila Gauranga dasa, UK.
--------------------------------
It really is a great
portal page. It must have taken hours and hours to do all that. It is now a
much simpler navigational system and it includes so much nectar. --- Chandrika Gauranga dasi, UK.
--------------------------------
Just a quick note of
pleasure. I found a computer shop in town who is able to burn the Chaitanya
Bhagavata lectures to MP3 for a very small fee. I am so pleased that I will be
able to continually listen to them on my dvd player at home without the high
costs at internet shops. Thanks for your service in this area I will treasure these
lectures with all my heart. --- Nava
Gauranga dasa, Australia.
--------------------------------
Matus from Spain accepted
Gauranga Ashraya Mahadiksha this week being very inspired by chanting the Holy
Names of Nityananda and Gauranga for one month and by reading the Website.
--------------------------------
I went to the
website. It's wonderful how everything
has been arranged. And I especially liked the part about the worship of Nitai
Gauranga Deities. It's wonderful. ---Vishvambhara-priya devi dasi.
--------------------------------
My family are doing very
well and the influence of nityananda and gauranga is very astounding , my wife
, who is self admitted to being non-religious , is often chanting hare krishna
, and she says she does not know why !! Our 4 year old boy is often chanting
pancha tattva mantra now , and they quite , the 2 year old girl is often
singing gauranga , and has taken to prabhupada , often calling his name , they
are all getting attracted even unknowingly thanks to your mercy and the mercy
of our supreme lords ! it is good to see , and certainly shocking to me , as
previously they would spend most of the day arguing and crying , thay still do
sometimes but , all glories to the lord these changes are happening very
quickly ! this is indeed miraculous ! nityananda ! gauranga ! he !! hare
krishna , please accept my obeisances and love , please give to the other
precious devotees of gauranga ! --- Shachinandana dasa, UK.
--------------------------------
Now I have understood
that Puri Dhama can not be disturbed by any kind of natural calamity. Our group
member Shri Tiwariji has got male baby after his two female daughters by
chanting Nityananda Gauranga and requesting Lords Nityananda Gauranga for a
male child. He is very happy, pleased and satisfied. As per your instruction, I
will humbly impart them Gauranga Ashraya Diksha in the Nityananda and Gauranga
Mantrarajas --- Hema Gauranga dasa, India.
--------------------------------
Thank you very much for
sending this nectar. It is very inspiring when you
share your taste for the
holy name. --- Mridani dasi, Belgium.
--------------------------------
The 108 sverses of the
Mahastotra glorifying the holy names of Lord Gauranga and Lord Nityananda
(Hindi version) are very enlightening to sing daily. My plan is to translate
these verses into regional languages. Is there a English version available? I
have already talked to one of office collegues who said her father can take up
this task of translating it into their language. I wanted some copies (50 nos
each) of the two small booklets "What is Gauranga Dharma?" and
"Lord Gauranga in the Vedas". Meanwhile I am also looking at the
possibility of getting them printed locally here. --- Bilvamangala Thakura
dasa, India.
--------------------------------
I have to say I feel very
blessed to come in contact with your preaching efforts in regards to the prime
importance of fallen souls to chant the two mantrarajas of Nityananda and
Gauranga.
For many years I have
been involved with many sangas and have always felt surpised that more stress
is not given to associating with Lord Chaitanya through His potent names and
lila.
Intuitively I always new
this should be done but it seemed that only few understood this point.
Personally I always had my nose in Chaitanya Bhagavata and Chaitanya
Charitamrita because that was where the real accessible nectar was for myself.
--------------------------------
At one time I even went
so far as giving up associating with any sanga and started a church called
Temple of The Heart which mainly focused primarly on taking more shelter of
Lord Chaitanya and His associates.
Since lately I have been
living in India, staying more neutral and aloof from vaishnava groups. I ran
accross your web page and thought to try out the methods advocated.
--------------------------------
Well, Let me tell you
very quickly I experienced results that went way beyond my expectations. I
thought if this chanting would work I would at least have to wait a few days as
the scriptures said that were quoted. That did not happen. Within minutes I
felt cleared of some very stuborn offenses that were keeping me from living a
life full with a mood of love, forgiveness and compassion. Obviously even though
I have been regularly chanting the Mahamantra for years as my accepted
authorities had advocated, due to my previous sins of being born a meateater
and in a western culture, I was not so qualified to develop taste and freedom
from offenses in chanting.
--------------------------------
But by first taking up chanting the all powerful Name of Nityananda and then
Gauranga. All I can say with a heart full of gratefullness, Wow! Wow! Wow! I
feel a very close , and wonderful relationship growing with the source of these
mantras. I have the feeling that this is a small portion of what these two
transcendenal brothers want to freely offer all us degraded fallen souls of
Kali Yuga. From my heart I just want to tell this to the world what a wonderous
treat that is instore for those who take shelter in this practical and simple
way of chanting their munificiant holy names.
--------------------------------
I could say so much more
but I know you are a very busy person intrusted with a very great mission.
Thank you for coming to this desert like planet and acting like a good servant
and spreading the real water around to the thirsty souls here.
Hare bol, Gaurahari dasa
(India).
--------------------------------
These are real inspiring
quotes by Swami Gauranga pada. I am new here to the discussion forums. I was
thinking that it would interesting to start a discussion subtopic about the
results devotees are getting from Chanting Nityananda’s and Gauranga’s
mantrarajas. It has been such a blessing for me and continues to be. It would
be interesting and inspiring to hear some sharings about the effects that
devotees are personally expeienceing through their own personal chanting of the
Mantrarajas.
--------------------------------
Many Christians share in
a similar way how their worship of Jesus is improving the quality of their own
lives. Many people have joined Christianty after hearing such sharings. Of
course It especially important to hear the acharyas realizations about these
things but it can also be very inspiring to hear how Gaura and Nitai are
impacting the lives of the common folk who are taking shelter of them. After
all they came to give shelter save the most fallen. I would be inspiried to
here such personal accounts.
--------------------------------
Of course since I am
proposing this I will begin with my own sharing.
The following is an
exerpt from my own diary when I first began chanting the Nityananda mantraraja
--------------------------------
Wed March 31st 2004
Yesterday I was reading
some interesting ideas on the Gauranga dham discussion forum. I got inspired to
try the Nityananda mantraraja as they recommend. For years I was always
naturally attracted to Gauranga’s lila. Intuitively I wanted to chant these
names but I did not find support from any living authority confirming the
directions I found in devotional books to do this.
--------------------------------
The results were
fantastic as I very quickly began feeling a closness, affinity, understanding,
connection and liking for Lord Nityananda’s mood. By His mercy I got to sample
a drop of His blissful ecstactic almost drunken like madness when I began
spontaneously laughing out loud while I was walking in public chanting to
myself. I felt so drunk with ecstacy that I did not even care what people throught
of my abrupt outburst that would obviously seem a bit crazy. My My! what kind
wine is in this chanting of the Name of Nityandanda?
--------------------------------
In a quote they mentioned
on Gauranga dharma website, from Bhaktivinode Thakur it said that in only a few
days one would get profound results from Chanting Nityananda’s name, but for me
so much mercy coming even more quickly even within minutes of chanting this
beautiful name of Nityananda. Maybe also chanting here in Radhakunda must be
giving some extra effect.
--------------------------------
For over twenty five
years I have read the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya and felt more of an affinity
for Gauranga and more distance from Nityananda. But now that is all changed by
starting to chant Nityananda’s Holy name. I can now begin to see the immense
importance of chanting Nityananda’s holy name, because I can feel it tangably
removing stubborn offenses from my heart that I was previously unaware of and
obviously would not go no matter what other process of devotional service I was
engaged in. I did not know that there was still some resentment and blame in my
heart that I was still holding twards a Vaishnava who displayed some faulty
behaviour. I resented and blamed him for losing my relationship with my wife.
Nityananda is not only revealing this to me but he also removing it and filling
my heart with soothing balm of love and forgiveness! Ki Jay….
--------------------------------
Since then while chanting
Nityananda’s glorious name, occasionally I have felt moved to write down some
aspirations in glorification of his mercy.
--------------------------------
Only Beggars Make
Progress
Oh Nityananda goswami
pada! Every new day I come and sit at the door of your holy name. Knowing
better now that in truth I am only a beggar. I have nothing of value to offer
you but my full attention. I don’t even have a drop of love for you, only the
burden of sin accumulated in countless misguided lives. If you want to give me
true happiness which is the ability to taste the intoxicating love nectar that
emenates from your glorious holy name or make me sit here withering up because
of lack of this life giving water. It is up to you and your grace because
whether you give your mercy or seemingly withhold it I am your trusting
surrenderd plant and I know your actions are all absolute and always for my
ultimate benefit. What is within my real power is only to sit like a simple
hearted dog before his masters table waiting with great hope and expectation. I
do this because of hearing of Your unsurpassed magnanimous nature from those
genuine authorities who have truly received your mercy. They say that you are
incarnation of causeless grace who does not take any notice of the
qualifications of those who fall down at your feet and take shelter of you.
--------------------------------
Impossible Can Be Made
Possible
Oh most merciful Lord
Visvambara it is my bold aspiration to drink deeply with tears and trembling of
loving ecstacy the indescribable nectar emanating from your playful pastimes
which illuminate the amazing qualities of the loving surrendered behavior of
your pure devotees and I pray for the ability to relish with great loving bliss
your magnanimous nature and loving mercy shown towards them. The ability to
taste this is the only true ambrosia of immortality that can save and maintain
a fallen soul in this world.
--------------------------------
Jai Nitai
Jai Nitai! Finally, now I
am able to come before your holy name possessed of unlimited spiritual strength
because I can really see I have no strength or good qualities of my own.
--------------------------------
Being stranded for a long
time on this desolate island of the material world I have accumlulated nothing
but burdens of false treasures that have that bewildered my mind.
--------------------------------
In ignorance always
thinking I was very qualified and spiritually advanced I could not approach
your feet.
--------------------------------
I am truly a beggar now
coming before you with my cup full of a heavy burden of alms collected from
this world of woes.
--------------------------------
I have heard from the
previous authorities that calling upon your Holy Name, Nityananda, is the only
hope to liberate a fallen wretched soul like me.
--- Gaurahari dasa

The most merciful and
powerful Gauranga Mantraraja is becoming more and more popular in this world
and even Yogis are realizing that it is the Topmost King of All Mantras in Kali
Yuga:

-NAPRA ReView,
September/October 2002
As part of a trilogy,
Rest and Relax introduces two specific relaxation techniques. "Free Your
Mind" familiarizes us with gauranga breathing, which calms the mind as you
chant "gau-ra-an-ga" with each inhalation and exhalation. A challenge
at first, this is a powerful, visceral experience. "Relax Your Body"
utilizes yoga nidra to effectively relax the body from the toes up. Track 3,
"Soothe the Soul," calls upon gauranga and invites the soul into the
complete state of relaxation already realized by the mind and body. Hypnotic
musical strains accompany these three tracks and move the practitioner
seamlessly through the sessions. Also in the trilogy: Yoga Music of the Heart
and Yoga Sound™.
--------------------------------
Gauranga Breathing works.
-Naomi DeBruyn,
linearReflections, August 2002
Rest and Relax is the
third disc in this boxed set, and features Wai Lana doing a guided meditation,
actually talking the listener through two different relaxation
techniques-Gauranga Breathing and Yoga Nidra. I found this to be the most
entrancing and enjoyable disc of the set, and if you actually do the guided
exercises, you will find yourself completely relaxed. The objective is a goal
that is reached in this case.
--------------------------------
We would like to happily
congratulate His Holiness Bhakti Vallabha Puri Goswami, the temple president
and all the devotees of ISKCON Scotland for indiscriminately distributing the
rarest and the most confidential treasure in the whole of creation: the most
merciful Holy Name of Lord Gauranga, to all the around 8 million people of
Scotland, thus fulfilling the innermost desire of Shrila Prabhupada, Shrila
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura Prabhupada, Seventh Goswami Shrila
Saccidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura, all the previous Acharyas, Lord Shri Advaita
Acharya and Their Supreme Lordships Shri Shri Nityananda Gauranga Themselves.
We thank them for their most glorious and rare service in this universe of
spreading the Holy Name of Gauranga from door to door and street to street in
Scotland. We always believe in the non-sectarian and non-institutionalized
spreading of the Nityananda and Gauranga Mantrarajas and the Hare Krishna
Mahamantra all over the whole world. The following Vyasa Puja offering by
devotees of ISKCON Scotland to our beloved Shrila Prabhupada shows their
staunch faith in Gauranga Nama and their dedicated efforts to spread the
Gauranga Mantra all over their country:
Offering of ISKCON
Scotland to Shrila Prabhupada for his Vyasa Puja 2001 which shows the great dedication
to the most magnanimous service of the devotees of ISKCON Scotland towards
humanity of spreading the Holy Name of Gauranga, the Gaura Gopala Mantra:
Dear Shrila Prabhupada,
Please accept our
respectful obeisances at your lotus feet. All glories to you, Shrila
Prabhupada, all glories to you!
On your journey to
America you prayed to your spiritual master, Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati:
“By his strong desire, the holy name of Lord Gauranga will spread throughout
all the countries of the Western world.” Due to the desire of your Guru
Maharaja, you came to give us this holy name. Now by your strong desire you are
working through your disciples to do the same. You will be pleased to know that
the holy name of Gauranga is being spread far and wide here in Scotland. There
has been an inundation of Gauranga’s name for the last few years through
numerous towns and villages throughout Scotland, and it is expanding more and
more through our Gauranga campaign of posters, stickers, and Gauranga rock
prasadam distribution. Our Every Town and Village program is systematically
covering the whole of Scotland. Gauranga’s name and harinama kirtanas are
resounding all over. (this para is from the 1997 offering)
By your great compassion
the holy names are now spreading all over Scotland and the north of England at
such a fast and enthusing rate. Wherever we go people are calling out the holy
name of Lord Gauranga upon seeing us. People approach the devotees on the
streets and just to say Gauranga, smile, and go on there way. The fallen souls
are very happy by this chanting. We are seeing this more and more. It is now
becoming an accepted part of daily life to so many. By the fallen souls
chanting Lord Gauranga's name, we can see very clearly that they are changing and
are very happy by this chanting. Some young people are using the name Gauranga
as a general greeting whenever they meet each other, and they shout it out
loudly upon seeing each other at a distance, thus benefiting so many others in
the vicinity.
It is all your mercy,
Shrila Prabhupada. You brought Gauranga's name to the West and distributed it
freely. Now the fallen souls are becoming attached to that great name by your
sweet mercy. All glories to you, Shrila Prabhupada! You are the real mercy of
Lord Nityananda and Shri Gauranga-sundara. You are the extended mercy rays of
the benediction moon spreading throughout the world and giving spiritual light
in this dark age.
Prabhupada is our light,
nescience is darkness.
Where there is Shrila
Prabhupada there is no darkness.
Here in Scotland we are
seeing that Lord Gauranga's name is fast becoming a household word, as was
predicted. This is your great gift of mercy to the suffering and fallen souls
of this dark and perilous age. The people of Scotland are generally very gross,
but they have a great liking for this Gauranga-nama.
Thank you for engaging us
fallen souls as your tiny little servants in distributing this greatest of
transcendental gifts. When we are fully engaged in the distribution of
Gauranga-nama, there are no worries and life is very wonderful, and the fallen
souls are very happy also. What else is there for us to do? We are seeing very
clearly the amazing results of distributing Gauranga-nama, so with your
permission and much-needed blessings we beg to continue and hope that you are
pleased.
Please forgive us for all
our offenses and stupidity. We are actually useless, but you have kindly found
a use for us. All glories to you, Shrila Prabhupada! All glories to Lord
Gauranga's sweet holy name, which is your great gift to the world! You are the
real Gauranga dasa.
Begging to be your dasas
eternally, we remain
Your insignificant
servants in Scotland.
The people of Scotland
are generally very gross, but they have a great liking for this Gauranga-nama.
Commentary by Swami
Gaurangapada:
This clearly demonstrates
the scriptural injunctions that Gauranga Nama which does not consider the 10
offenses is very easily accessible, most essential and effective for the
offensively burdened grossly sinful souls of Kali Yuga and thus is the only
remedy for their deliverance.
We are seeing very
clearly the amazing results of distributing Gauranga-nama, so with your
permission and much-needed blessings we beg to continue and hope that you are
pleased.
Commentary by Swami Gaurangapada:
This is just the
beginning of a new world era where we are beginning to see a tiny drop of the
amazing miracles and results of chanting the Nityananda and Gauranga
Mantrarajas. These most merciful offenseless Holy Names of Nityananda and
Gauranga are predicted and destined to bring about the pure and offenseless
Golden Age of 10,000 Years in this Kali Yuga. And we will see much bigger and
much greater mircales from the chanting of Nityananda and Gauranga Mantrarajas
in our personal lives as well in this universe as the chanting of These Holy
Names spreads far and wide.
Here in Scotland we are
seeing that Lord Gauranga's name is fast becoming a household word, as was
predicted.
Commentary by Swami
Gaurangapada:
This was surely the
desire of Shrila Prabhupada as he has stated again and again:
Shrila Prabhupada’s
Letter to: Niranjana, Brooklyn, 21 May, 1973: “You mention that they have not
even heard of Lord Gauranga. So that is their misfortune, and our misfortune
also. _________________ in India, they could not preach Lord Gauranga’s name
all over India.”
It is not by any stroke
of sheer luck or chance that the most fortunate people of Scotland and getting
a chance to hear Gauranga's Holy Name. It is because of the unlimited
spiritually pious deeds they have performed in the previous lives that they
have taken birth in a country where Gauranga is becoming a household word.

Gauranga Meditation
Center of Sankirtana Das in Gainesville
The spoken word
There are many different
words you can chant. "Mango" has a nice quality, he says. In the
'60s, he used to chant "love, peace, happiness, freedom." But now
Sankirtan chants what he considers the sweetest sound in the world. His thin face
relaxes as he introduces it: "Gaur-Ra-Ang-Ga."
The word gauranga means
"golden effulgence," which is the radiant glow that appears around
light sources. By using this word to describe God, it becomes a spiritual
mantra.
Sankirtan has his
students breath deeply, inhale the incense wafting through the room and exhale
the word, "Gauranga." He says a good gauranga session lasts about 20
to 40 minutes and should be done several times a day.
(2) http://www.esatclear.ie/~dialogueireland/cha1.htm
To demonstrate the
Chaitanya School's way of meditation, Balakhilya led the audience in a number
of guided meditations: Sitting still, become aware of the rhythm of one's
breathing. Then on each exhalation chanting aloud the mantra: Gauranga Nitai
Gaur.
In the group this was
quite a centring experience. One forgot about the noises of the street. This,
we were told, was because we were using a transcendental sound, pertaining not
to the material, but to the transcendental world.
(3) http://www.iskcon.org.uk/scotland/
ISKCON Scotland:
"Gauranga (the
Golden one) is a name of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, an incarnation of Shri
Krishna who preached the glories of the holy name (Hare Krishna) throughout
India 500 years ago. The sound of 'Gauranga' is extremely potent spiritually,
just like the Hare Krishna mantra, and whoever hears or chants this name
becomes liberated."
(4) http://www.mayapur.info/navadwip_dham/navadwip_index.html
ISKCON Mayapur:
"In Shri
Navadvipa-dhama-mahatmya, it is described that is very easy to achieve success
in the chanting of the Hare Krishna maha-mantra and the 'Gauranga' Mantra by
chanting them while residing in the most merciful Shri Navadvipa-dhama and thus
actually achieve Vrindavana-dhama." (This is taken from our translation)
(5) New Oriental Health
Oy, Janne Kontala (Jayananda Dasa prabhu), Vantaa, Helsinki
"I read recently
your writing about Gauranga-mantra. I teach yoga. In my current course I
implemented in the mediation section quiet chanting of Gauranga (quiet because
according to my experience people are scared if loud chanting goes on, at least
on yoga courses where they are expecting a quiet atmosphere). Now quite many
have been chanting at least five minutes daily for two weeks. Some seem to like
it."

Dear Gaurangapada-ji ,
The message of Lord
Krishna can be repeated by anyone but depending on the realization of the
speaker, then the hearer gets a similar benefit. It is so nice to receive your voice
messages because you are an excellent devotional speaker. Your messages are so
simple to understand, like Shrila Prabhupada, and your voice is so full of
devotional compassion and ecstacy. Thank you for using the latest technology to
deliver the Divine Nectar of Krishna Consciousness all over the world. Thank
you for compassionately dedicating your life to saving the fallen conditioned
souls. I consider you a real Acharya because you are so innovative in your
preaching methods. Your sanga is so right on. There is absolutely no politics
or offensive behavior to other devotees. It is 100% pure devotional nectar.
Hearing you, I can freely cry out for Lord Gauranga and Lord Nityananda without
reservation. Now my life is successful!
Your eternal friend and
humble admirer,
Mahashakti dasa
--------------------------------
Nityananda! Gauranga!
Hare Krishna! You see the reason for this is that the devotees consider the
greatest miracle is the achievement of pure love for Lord Gauranga-Krishna and
all other material problems as petty and temporary compared to that. That is
why they do not talk about all the miracles happening on the material platform
in their lives.
Because once you achieve
pure love for the Lord, you go back to the eternal kingdom of God with a
spiritual body at the end of this life and thus it will be a permanent end to
all the miserable problems we have experienced life after life in this material
world including birth, disease, old age, death, poverty, unemployment, family
strife, etc. So the devotees normally talk about their realizations on the
achievement of this permanent miracle.
Also many of the devotees
in whose life these practical miracles are happening have no access or time to
post them on the Forum.
Since you want to hear
about them, I will try to post some of them as I receive them by email.
Let me start of with
some:
Bhakta Gopal Khetan
(forum id: kavitagopal) from Mumbai sold book paper worth around Rs. 1,000,000
to a person and got a draft of Rs. 800,000 or so. But the draft turned out to
be fake. So he and the police searched for the paper but no success for about
one week. Then he called me and sat down in his office and chanted the
Nityananda and Gauranga Mantrarajas. And the police called back saying that
they have found the paper he had sold and returned it back to him. He is now in
USA. Maybe he can a write a detailed writeup about this and many other miracles
he had in his life due to Nityananda Gauranga Mantrarajas. He was not getting a
US visa and it was rejected the first time. But the second time when he chanted
the Nityananda and Gauranga Mantrarajas and went, he got a 10 year visa which
is so difficult to get when you apply for a visa to USA for the first time.
One lady in Mumbai was so
much harrased and tortured by her husband for the past 15 to 20 years. The
husband would literally beat her up with pots, abuse her in all ways and not
allow her to chant too. Filing for divorce and getting it, is a very long legal
process in India which requires lots of funds to pay the lawyers etc. The
lawyers told her that the divorce will take a minimum of 10 years because the
husband was not ready to sign the papers. Then she called and was given the
Nityananda and Gauranga Mantrarajas and was told to pray to Them for help in
this case. She started very seriously chanting and praying to the Mantrarajas
for around 8 hours day and on the 9 day a miracle happened. The lawyers called
her up and told her that the divorce is done even though they themselves could
not believe it how it was done so soon. They called her for signing the papers
and asked her the secret of this miracle. And she gave them the Nityananda and
Gauranga Mantrarajas with great joy. Laughing
......... there are so
many more which have happened and are happening, maybe I will keep on posting
one daily...
You see the devotees
depending on the Lord's mercy do not normally pray (because they are embarrased
to do so) to the Nityananda and Gauranga Mantrarajas for material things
thinking them as petty and undesirable and only ask for pure love of God. So
the Mantrarajas give them pure love of God and not the things they did not ask
for.
But if someone with full
faith in the efficacy of the Nityananda and Gauranga Mantrarajas asks practical
and material boons from the Mantrarajas, the Mantrarajas will fulfil them very
quickly and over and above that purify his or her material mentality also. The
amount of time which will be taken for the desires to be fulfiled by chanting
the Mantrarajas is directly proportional to the amount of faith we have in the
power of the Mantrarajas. Lord Gauranga Himself states that in Prema Vivarta...
antaryaami naama bhagavaana, shradhaa anusaare phala karena pradhana.
Thus we can conclude that
the fruits of our chanting will be corressponding to the extent of our faith in
the Nityananda and Gauranga Mantrarajas which do not consider any other
qualification or disqualification. And also what we ask for to the Mantrarajas
while chanting Them.
