Hare Krishna, today (Monday 2018 January 29) is the auspicious day of Lord Nityananda Appearance Day !!

* As we know, He is so merciful that even though Jagai Madhai were very sinful, to the extent they read shastras to find all sinful activities and doing sins, to such fallen souls also, He didn't allow Lord Caitanya to punish but rather bestowed mercy & unlimited Krishna prema.

* *Our only hope, if such sinful souls can be bestowed mercy, their is a little hope that someday Lord Nityananda will be merciful on me and bestow that unlimited Krishna prema*.

On this auspicious occasion its humble request to all of you, to please visit temple and take darshan of Their Lordships and may Lord Nityananda bestow His unlimited mercy on us, to achieve unlimited Krishna prema. !! Please DO VISIT & TAKE DARSHAN !!

(1) nitai-pada-kamala,

koti-candra-susitala

je chayay jagata juray

heno nitai bine bhai,

radha-krsna paite nai

drdha kori' dharo nitair pay

* The lotus feet of Lord Nityananda are a shelter where one will get the soothing moonlight not only of one, but of millions of moons.

* If the world wants to have real peace, it should take shelter of Lord Nityananda.

* Unless one takes shelter under the shade of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, it will be very difficult for him to approach Radha-Krsna.

* If one actually wants to enter into the dancing party of Radha-Krsna, he must firmly catch hold of the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.

(2) se sambandha nahi ja'r,

brtha janma gelo ta'r

sei pasu boro duracar

nitai na bolilo mukhe,

majilo sa?sara-sukhe

vidya-kule ki koribe tar

* Anyone who has not established his relationship with Nityananda Prabhu is understood to have spoiled his valuable human birth.

* Such a human being is actually an uncontrollable animal. Because he never uttered the holy name of Nityananda, he has become merged into so-called material happiness.

* What can his useless education and family tradition do to help him?

(3) aha?kare matta hoiya,

nitai-pada pasariya

asatyere satya kori mani

nitaiyer koruna habe,

braje radha-krsna pabe

dharo nitai-carana du'khani

* Being maddened after false prestige and identification with the body, one is thinking, oh, what is Nityananda? What can He do for me? I don't care. The result is that he is accepting something false to be truth.

* If you actually want to approach the association of Radha-Krsna, you must first achieve the mercy of Lord Nityananda.

* When He is merciful toward you, then you will be able to approach Radha-Krsna.

* Therefore you should firmly grasp the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.

(4) nitaiyer carana satya,

tahara sevaka nitya

nitai-pada sada koro asa

narottama boro dukhi,

nitai more koro sukhi

rakho ranga-caranera pasa

* The lotus feet of Nityananda are not illusion; they are a fact. One who engages in the transcendental loving service of Nityananda is also transcendental.

* Always try to catch the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda.

* This Narottama dasa is very unhappy, therefore I am praying to Lord Nityananda to make me happy.

* My dear Lord, please keep me close to Your lotus feet.
