Sages say that our souls are each more brilliant and powerful than thousands of suns, and that we come to experience this by hearing from those who are self-realized. Secrets of the Undiscovered Self was kindly presented in the form of a discourse by such a selfrealized personality, Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, a pre-eminent saint and one of the foremost teachers of divine wisdom in the present day. This discourse was given in March 2002, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia | |

Sri Navadvipa Dhama
|
|
Hits: 2895 |
|
Date added: 09/25/2007 |
 | In this book our eternally merciful Gurudeva, Sri Sriman Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja, describes the numerous sacred places of Sri Navadvipa-dhama and introduces many of the holy places in the surrounding area of Sri Gauda-mandala (which includes Bangladesh). The enclosed map of Sri Gauda-mandala offers another dimension of involvement to the reader of this and other books about Sriman Mahaprabhu and His followers. The locations of many places were verifiable, but over time, some places have been forgotten or obscured by changes in landscape, and therefore are not easily located or available for darsana. Sripad Bodhayan Maharaja kindly connected us with Sriman Mukunda Prabhu (Mr. Mukulpada Mitra) from Dhaka, who ensured a successful pilgrimage to Bangladesh to take photos. Both ISKCON temples and Gaudiya-mathas showed their non-sectarian spirit by giving assistance in this regard. We are ever indebted to Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Svami Prabhupada, who revealed to the Western world the glories, pastimes and abodes of Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu and His associates. | |

Descriptions given tell how, having recently arrived in Sri Vaikuntha-dhama, the most desirable of places and which entrance into is sought after by unlimited saintly persons, Gopa-kumar is feeling despondent and cannot even ascertain the cause of his own dissatisfaction. At that time he is approached by Sri Narada Rsi, who becomes his siksa-guru (instructing spiritual master) and enlightens him with the tattva necessary to complete his spiritual journey and thereby attain the fulfilment of all his long cherished internal desires — the transcendental land of spontaneous loving devotion to Sri Sri Radha-Govinda, Sri Goloka-Vraja. | |

Bhakti Rasayan

In the final chapter of Sri Brhad-bhagavatamrta, after the story of Gopa-kumara has been completed (see Going Beyond Vaikuntha), Sanatana Gosvami has quoted verses from the tenth canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam which Pariksit Maharaja spoke to his mother Uttara. They are verses of very beautiful poetry which stimulate the sentiment of bhakti. Stringing these verses together, Sanatana Gosvami has composed a necklace for the benefit of the sadhakas of this world, and when sadhakas keep these verses in their hearts, it is as if they are wearing this necklace around their necks. And if while taking Harinama they sometimes call out these verses, it will increase the ananda in their chanting. This compilation of verses is known as bhakti-rasayana, or the nectar-tonic of bhakti-rasa. — Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja.

Sri
Vraja-mandala parikrama, originally inaugurated by Sriman Mahaprabhu Himself,
has been conducted for over fifty years under the supervision and guidance of
Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja. This book is a beautiful
exposition of the confidential places of Sri Krsna's sweet pastimes in Vraja.
The sincere devotee who has a deep thirst to enter into the sweetness of the
land of Vraja will find ambrosial nectar flowing through these pages.
"Blessed
is the land of Vraja, where the creator of the universe, Lord Brahma, dwells in
the form of a mountain range in Varsana, to have the dust of the Divine Couple
Sri Radha-Krsna's lotus feet on the head: where the maintainer, Lord Visnu, has
assumed the forms of Govardhana and Visnu-parvata: where the moon-crested Lord
Siva has taken up residence as Nandisvara Hill in Nandagrama: and where Sri
Uddhava, the best of Hari's servants, lives as a blade of grass, a small shrub
or a creeper on the bank of Kusuma-sarovara."
