I besiege you again and again; please remember \u2013 Worldwide ISKCON grass roots Nama sankirtan revolution.<br \/>\nRevolution means revolution. It means we have to shed pounds and gallons and gallons of blood to get the job done. We have to turn this movement inside out, upside down, whatever we have to do but we have to put Nama sankirtan back into its rightful place of dignity in the forefront of our movement. It is absolutely essential for the proper growth of our movement.<\/p>\n<p> Those who have understood this are awake to the need of the hour and those who have not understood it are still sleeping. It is time to wake and understand what is the responsibility of every man, woman and child in this movement, to take seriously that dharma which Lord Chaitanya himself inaugurated for the deliverance of all fallen conditioned souls for the rest of this kali yuga. There is another 427,000 years left to Kali Yuga. The Yuga dharma doesn\u2019t change. The next Yuga is Satya Yuga and for them contemplative peaceful meditation but in Kali Yuga you got to get fired up. Every one of you \u2013 fired up. Chanting and dancing from the heart like to really mean it, like you really want Lord Chaitanya\u2019s mercy.  So that you can even think, even hope to go back to godhead in this one lifetime.<\/p>\n<p> It is not a joke, it is the real thing. To stand up and do what\u2019s right. Do the real thing, perform Nama sankirtan daily, everyday, for as many hours as possible and you will get there. I guarantee it. Not that I have guaranteed it, Lord Chaitanya has guaranteed it.<\/p>\n<p>The soul has to go back home, back to godhead and the way that is going to happen is if the soul agrees to engage all his psycophysical energies and his full heart into the performance of Sneha Samyukta Harinama sankirtan. <\/p>\n<p>Sneha means with affection and Samyukta means complete engagement. Full on.  Fired up and back home, back to godhead in this one life time.<br \/>\n&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\n\u201cTo make us wholly devoted to Krishna\u2019s name, Sri Gaurangadeva, the combined form of Sri Radha-Govinda, came to this world. But if we disregard His teachings and show no interest in Sri-nama-seva, we will never attain auspiciousness. <\/p>\n<p>Sri nama- sankirtan is the best sadhana. If other sadhanas help us in Krishna-sankirtana, then they deserve to be called sadhana; otherwise they are simply impediments to sadhana. Sri-krishna-nama-sankirtana is the emperor of sadhanas. It is the only infallible sadhana capable of bringing us to siddhi. <\/p>\n<p>Sriman Mahaprabhu did not speak of teaching arcana, but in Siksastaka he taught nama-bhajana. Although in Kali-yuga other limbs of bhakti should be performed, they should be accompanied by bhakti denoted by kirtana.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>-His Divine Grace Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada.<\/p>\n<p>Harer Nama Harer Nama<br \/>\nHarer Namaiva Kevalam<br \/>\nKalau Nasty Eva Nasty Eva<br \/>\nNasty Eva Gatir Anyatha<\/p>\n<p>Hare Krishna Hare Krishna<br \/>\nKrishna Krishna Hare Hare<br \/>\nHare Rama Hare Rama<br \/>\nRama Rama Hare Hare<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/dandavats.com\/wp-content\/uploads2\/262013-08-13-12-2826.jpg\"\/><strong>By William Mathew<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> 14th July 2013, is the third Tirobhava Mahostsava (disappearance anniversary) of Sripad Anidra Prabhu\u2019s departure to the spiritual world.
