- All glories to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu! All glories to Nityananda Prabhu! All glories to Advaita Acarya! And all glories to all the devotees of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- Praying at the lotus feet of Sri Rupa and Sri Raghunatha, always desiring their mercy, I, Krsnadasa, narrate Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, following in their footsteps - Adi-lila
A
- A part of a part of a whole is called a kala. Sri Balarama is the counterform of Lord Govinda
- Absorbed in emotional love, he sat in my courtyard, and all the Vaisnavas bowed down at his feet
- Acting just like ordinary boys, They played like roaring bulls as They fought each other, and They imitated the calls of various animals
- After creating millions of universes, the first purusa entered into each of them in a separate form, as Sri Garbhodakasayi
- After filling half the universe with water, He made His own residence therein and manifested the fourteen worlds in the other half
- After saying this, he danced and sang to his heart's content, but the brahmana did not become angry, for he was then serving Lord Krsna
- After saying this, He directed me toward Vrndavana by waving His hand. Then He disappeared with His associates
- All glories to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu! All glories to Lord Nityananda! All glories to Advaita Acarya! And all glories to all the devotees of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- All glory, all glory to Lord Nityananda Balarama, by whose mercy I have attained shelter in the transcendental abode of Vrndavana
- All glory, all glory to the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda, by whose mercy I have attained Sri Radha-Govinda
- All glory, all glory to the merciful Lord Nityananda, by whose mercy I have attained shelter at the lotus feet of Sri Rupa and Sri Sanatana
- All the groups of Vaisnavas who live in Vrndavana are absorbed in chanting the all-auspicious name of Krsna
- All these incarnations of Godhead are either plenary portions or parts of the plenary portions of the purusa-avataras. But Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself - CC Adi 5.79
- Although He is thus connected with the material energy in two ways, He does not have the slightest contact with it
- Although His pastimes are His only characteristic functions, by His causeless mercy He performs one activity for the fallen souls
- Although I am sinful and I am the most fallen, He has conferred upon me the lotus feet of Sri Rupa Gosvami
- Although Karanodasayi Visnu is called a kala of Lord Krsna, He is the source of Matsya, Kurma and the other incarnations
- Although the Lord is the shelter of everything and although all the universes rest in Him, He, as the Supersoul, is also the support of everything
- Anyone who hears my name loses the results of his pious activities. Anyone who utters my name becomes sinful
- As a younger brother He (Laksmana) could not stop Lord Rama from His resolution, and so He remained silent, although unhappy in His mind
- As Lord Visnu He maintains the entire world. Lord Visnu, being beyond all material attributes, has no touch with the material qualities
- As through devotion to the Lord one can attain His abode, many have attained that goal by abandoning their sinful activities and absorbing their minds in the Lord through lust, envy, fear or affection
- Assuming the form of Rudra, He destroys the creation. Thus creation, maintenance and dissolution are created by His will
- At my house there was sankirtana day and night, and therefore he visited there, having been invited
- At the end of the festival Minaketana Ramadasa went away, offering his blessings to everyone. At that time he had some controversy with my brother
B
- Balarama's own expansion is called Maha-sankarsana, and His fragment, the purusa, is counted as a kala, or a part of a plenary portion
- Beyond the material nature lies the realm known as paravyoma, the spiritual sky. Like Lord Krsna Himself, it possesses all transcendental attributes, such as the six opulences
- Beyond the region of ignorance (the material cosmic manifestation) lies the realm of Siddhaloka. The Siddhas reside there, absorbed in the bliss of Brahman. Demons killed by the Lord also attain that realm
- But with the eyes of love of Godhead one can see its real identity as the place where Lord Krsna performs His pastimes with the cowherd boys and cowherd girls
- By His left side is Srimati Radharani and Her personal friends. With them Lord Govinda enjoys the rasa-lila and many other pastimes
- By His mercy I have attained the shelter of the great personality Sri Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, and by His mercy I have found the refuge of Sri Svarupa Damodara
- By the mercy of Sanatana Gosvami I have learned the final conclusions of devotional service, and by the grace of Sri Rupa Gosvami I have tasted the highest nectar of devotional service
E
F
- First He created the sixteen principal energies suitable for creation. This was for the purpose of manifesting the material universes
- For that offense, he cannot be liberated. Rather, he will fall into a terrible hellish condition. What more should I say?
- From His navel grew a lotus flower, which became the birthplace of Lord Brahma
- From these conclusions we can know the limit of the truth of Lord Nityananda. But what glory is there in calling Him Ananta?
H
- He (Ananta Sesa) serves Lord Krsna, assuming all the following forms: umbrella, slippers, bedding, pillow, garments, resting chair, residence, sacred thread and throne
- He (Lord Nityananda) had beautifully formed hands, arms and legs, and eyes like lotus flowers. He wore a silk cloth, with a silk turban on His head
- He (Nityananda) granted to one as low as me (Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami) the sight of Lord Govinda. Words cannot describe this, nor is it fit to be disclosed
- He (Sankarsana) is the shelter of everything. He is wonderful in every respect, and His opulences are infinite. Even Ananta cannot describe His glory
- He considers Himself a servant and knows Krsna to be His master. Thus He regards Himself as a fragment of His plenary portion
- He delivers all those who fall down before Him. Therefore He has delivered such a sinful and fallen person as me
- He delivers the fallen living entities by offering them the four kinds of liberation - salokya, samipya, sarsti and sarupya
- He does not distinguish between the good and the bad, because He is intoxicated by ecstatic love and is an incarnation of mercy
- He enjoys the rasa dance with Srimati Radharani, Sri Lalita and others. He manifests Himself as the Cupid of Cupids
- He executes the orders of Lord Krsna in the work of creation, and in the form of Lord Sesa He serves Krsna in various ways
- He had a glossy blackish complexion, and His tall, strong, heroic stature made Him seem like Cupid himself
- He Himself helps in the pastimes of Lord Krsna, and He does the work of creation in four other forms
- He is always served with great reverence and affection by hundreds and thousands of goddesses of fortune
- He is known as the first purusa, the creator of the total material energy. He, the cause of the universes, the first incarnation, casts His glance over maya
- He is the Supersoul of all living entities. He maintains this material world, and He is its Lord
- He is the Supersoul, Hiranyagarbha, the cause of the material world. The universal form is conceived as His expansion
- He is thus called Lord Sesa, for He has attained the ultimate end of servitude to Krsna. He takes many forms for the service of Krsna, and thus He serves the Lord
- He lay there with Ananta as His bed. Lord Ananta is a divine serpent having thousands of heads, thousands of faces, thousands of eyes and thousands of hands and feet. He is the seed of all incarnations and is the cause of the material world
- He then descends to maintain the material world. His unlimited opulences cannot be counted
- He told me again and again "Arise! Get up!" Upon rising, I was greatly astonished to see His beauty
- He who knows these three becomes liberated from the clutches of maya
- He wore golden earrings on His ears, and golden armlets and bangles. He wore tinkling anklets on His feet and a garland of flowers around His neck
- Here I find the second Romaharsana-suta, who did not stand to show honor when he saw Lord Balarama
- His (Lord Nityananda's) body was anointed with sandalwood pulp, and He was nicely decorated with tilaka. His movements surpassed those of a maddened elephant
- His body moved to and fro, right and left, for He was absorbed in ecstasy. He chanted "Krsna, Krsna" in a deep voice
- His devotees, dressed like cowherd boys, surrounded His feet like so many bees and also chanted "Krsna, Krsna," absorbed in ecstatic love
- His elders such as Lord Nityananda, Advaita Acarya and Srivasa Thakura, as well as His other devotees - whether His juniors, equals or superiors - are all His associates who help Him in His pastimes. Lord Gauranga fulfills His aims with their help
- His face was more beautiful than millions upon millions of moons, and His teeth were like pomegranate seeds because of His chewing betel
- His red stick moving in His hand, He seemed like a maddened lion. All around the four sides of His feet were bumblebees
- His thousands of extended hoods are adorned with dazzling jewels surpassing the sun
I
- I (Krsnadas Kaviraja Gosvami) am more sinful than Jagai and Madhai and even lower than the worms in the stool
- I (Krsnadas Kaviraja) cannot describe the truth of Advaita Acarya. He has delivered the entire world by making Lord Krsna descend
- I (Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami) have described my own story without reservations. The attributes of Lord Nityananda, making me like a madman, force me to write these things
- I (Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami) have thus described the power of the servants of Lord Nityananda. Now I shall describe another characteristic of His mercy
- I accept it as the truth because it has been said by devotees. Since He is the source of all incarnations, everything is possible in Him
- I am not fit to speak all these confidential words about my visiting Lord Madana Gopala and Lord Govinda
- I fainted and fell to the ground, my dream broke, and when I regained consciousness I saw that morning had come
- I fell at His feet, offering my obeisances, and He then placed His own lotus feet upon my head
- I have attained all this by coming to Vrndavana, and this was made possible by the mercy of Lord Nityananda
- I have briefly explained the eighth verse. Now please listen with attention as I explain the ninth verse
- I have described the glory of Sri Krsna Caitanya in six verses. Now, in five verses I shall describe the glory of Lord Nityananda
- I have explained the seventh verse in four subsequent verses. By these verses all the world can know the truth about Lord Nityananda
- I have thus explained the ninth verse, and now I shall explain the tenth. Please listen with rapt attention
- I have thus explained the tenth verse. Now please listen to the meaning of the eleventh verse with all your mind
- I offer my full obeisances unto the feet of Nityananda Rama, whose partial representation called Karanodakasayi Visnu, lying on the Karana Ocean, is the original purusa, the master of the illusory energy, & the shelter of all the universes - CC Adi 5.50
- I offer my full obeisances unto the feet of Sri Nityananda Rama, a partial part of whom is Garbhodakasayi Visnu. From the navel of Garbhodakasayi Visnu sprouts the lotus that is the birthplace of Brahma, the engineer of the universe
- I offer my respectful obeisances unto the feet of Sri Nityananda Rama, whose secondary part is the Visnu lying in the ocean of milk - CC Adi 5.109
- I say that this kala is Maha-Visnu. He is the Maha-purusa, who is the source of the other purusas and who is all-pervading
- I surrender unto the lotus feet of Sri Nityananda Rama, who is known as Sankarsana in the midst of the catur-vyuha. He possesses full opulences and resides in Vaikunthaloka, far beyond the material creation - CC Adi 5.13
- I thought about what I had seen and heard and concluded that the Lord had ordered me to proceed to Vrndavana at once
- I was overwhelmed with transcendental ecstasy, not knowing anything else. Then Lord Nityananda smiled and spoke to me as follows
- I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, the first progenitor, who is tending cows yielding all desires in abodes built with spiritual gems and surrounded by millions of purpose trees
- I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who by His various plenary portions appears in the world in different forms and incarnations such as Lord Rama, but who personally appears in His supreme original form as Lord Krsna
- If you have faith in one but disrespect the other, your logic is like the logic of accepting half a hen
- In a joyful mood of love of God he sometimes climbed upon the shoulder of someone offering obeisances, and sometimes he struck others with his flute or mildly slapped them
- In all the forms He tastes the transcendental bliss of serving Krsna. That same Balarama is Lord Nityananda, the companion of Lord Gaurasundara
- In that ocean lies a plenary portion of Lord Sankarsana
- In that spiritual sky, on the four sides of Narayana, are the second expansions of the quadruple expansions of Dvaraka
- In the ages and millenniums of Manu, He appears as different incarnations to establish the principles of real religion and vanquish the principles of irreligion
- In the beginning of the creation, the Lord expanded Himself in the form of the purusa incarnation, accompanied by all the ingredients of material creation
- In the highest region of that spiritual sky is the spiritual planet called Krsnaloka. It has three divisions - Dvaraka, Mathura and Gokula
- In the Vaikuntha planets of the spiritual sky the Lord manifests His identity as Narayana and performs pastimes in various ways
- In the village of Jhamatapura, which is near Naihati, Lord Nityananda appeared to me in a dream
- In whatever form one knows the Lord, one speaks of Him in that way. In this there is no falsity, since everything is possible in Krsna
- It is like the homogeneous effulgence around the sun. But inside the sun are the chariots, horses and other opulences of the sun-god
- It would be better to be an atheist by slighting both brothers than a hypocrite by believing in one and slighting the other
J
- Just as atomic particles of dust pass through the openings of a window, so the networks of universes pass through the pores of the skin of the purusa
- Just as the original cause of an earthen pot is the potter, so the creator of the material world is the first purusa incarnation (Karanarnavasayi Visnu)
K
- Knowing this, Sri Ramadasa felt unhappy in his mind. I then rebuked my brother
- Krsna and Balarama present Themselves as younger brother and elder brother, but in the scriptures They are described as the original Supreme Personality of Godhead and His expansion
- Krsna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. In every age He protects the world through His different features when the world is disturbed by the enemies of Indra - CC Adi 5.79
- Krsna's own form has only two hands, but in the form of Lord Narayana He has four hands. Lord Narayana holds a conchshell, disc, club and lotus flower, and He is full of great opulence. The sri, bhu and nila energies serve at His lotus feet
- Ksirodakasayi Visnu is the Supersoul of all living entities and the maintainer of all the universes. Sesa Naga is His further subpart - CC Adi 5.109
L
- Let me offer my obeisances to Lord Sri Nityananda, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, whose opulence is wonderful and unlimited. By His will, even a fool can understand His identity
- Like the transcendental body of Lord Krsna, Gokula is all-pervading, infinite and supreme. It expands both above and below, without any restriction
- Lord Advaita Acarya is directly the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Although Lord Caitanya accepts Him as His preceptor, Advaita Acarya is a servant of the Lord
- Lord Balarama is the original Sankarsana. He assumes five other forms to serve Lord Krsna
- Lord Brahma, sitting on his lotus seat in his own abode, always meditates on Him and worships Him with the mantra consisting of eighteen syllables
- Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda are the life and soul of those Vaisnavas, who do not know anything but devotional service to Sri Sri Radha-Krsna
- Lord Caitanya is the same Lord Krsna, and Lord Nityananda is Lord Balarama. Lord Nityananda fulfills all of Lord Caitanya's desires
- Lord Krsna alone is the supreme controller, and all others are His servants. They dance as He makes them do so
- Lord Krsna is the creator, and maya only helps Him as an instrument, just like the potter's wheel and other instruments, which are the instrumental causes of a pot
- Lord Krsna manifests His own form in Mathura and Dvaraka. He enjoys pastimes in various ways by expanding into the quadruple forms
- Lord Krsna said: "I am situated in the material world, and the world rests in Me. But at the same time I am not situated in the material world, nor does it rest in Me in truth"
- Lord Madana Gopala, the chief Deity of Vrndavana, is the enjoyer of the rasa dance and is directly the son of the King of Vraja
- Lord Narayana is a part of a plenary part of Lord Nityananda Balarama, who is the source of all incarnations
- Lord Nityananda Prabhu had a servant named Sri Minaketana Ramadasa, who was a reservoir of love
- Lord Nityananda said, "In Vrndavana all things are possible." Here I have explained His brief statement in detail
- Lord Nityananda Svarupa formerly appeared as Laksmana and served Lord Ramacandra as His younger brother
M
- May Sri Nityananda Rama be the object of my constant remembrance. Sankarsana, Sesa Naga and the Visnus who lie on the Karana Ocean, Garbha Ocean and ocean of milk are His plenary portions and the portions of His plenary portions
- Maya has two varieties of existence. One is called pradhana or prakrti. It supplies the ingredients of the material world
- Maya-sakti resides outside the Karana Ocean. Maya cannot touch its waters
- My brother had firm faith in Lord Caitanya but only a dim glimmer of faith in Lord Nityananda
- My dear friend, if you are indeed attached to your worldly friends, do not look at the smiling face of Lord Govinda as He stands on the bank of the Yamuna at Kesighata
O
- O Arjuna, you should know this as My inconceivable opulence. This is the meaning propagated by Lord Krsna in the Bhagavad-gita
- O Lord Nityananda, I write of Your mercy out of great exultation. Please forgive me for my offenses
- O my dear Krsnadasa, do not be afraid. Go to Vrndavana, for there you will attain all things
- On an altar made of gems in the principal temple of Vrndavana, amidst a forest of desire trees, Lord Govinda, the son of the King of Vraja, sits upon a throne of gems and manifests His full glory and sweetness, thus enchanting the entire world
- One respectable brahmana named Sri Gunarnava Misra was serving the Deity
- One variety of the pastimes of the spiritual energy is described as pure goodness (visuddha-sattva). It comprises all the abodes of Vaikuntha
- Only in these three places (Dvaraka, Mathura and Gokula) does the all-sporting Lord Krsna perform His endless pastimes with His personal associates
- Outside the Vaikuntha planets is the atmosphere of the glowing effulgence, which consists of the supremely bright rays of the body of Lord Krsna
- Outside the Vaikuntha planets is the impersonal Brahman effulgence, and beyond that effulgence is the Karana Ocean, or Causal Ocean
P
- Playing like a bull, Lord Balarama fights with Krsna head to head. And sometimes Lord Krsna massages the feet of Lord Balarama
- Please listen to another glory of His mercy. He made a fallen living entity climb to the highest limit
- Prakrti cannot actually be the cause of the material world because it's dull and inert. But Lord Krsna shows His mercy by infusing His energy into the dull, inert material nature
S
- Sankarsana is the original shelter of the purusa, from whom this world is created and in whom it is dissolved
- Some called Lord Krsna an incarnation of Lord Ksirodakasayi. All these names are true; nothing is impossible
- Some of them played horns and flutes, and others danced and sang. Some of them offered betel nuts, and others waved camara fans about Him
- Some said that Krsna was directly Lord Nara-Narayana, and some called Him Lord Vamanadeva incarnate
- Sometimes He serves Lord Caitanya as His guru, sometimes as His friend and sometimes as His servant, just as Lord Balarama played with Lord Krsna in these three different moods in Vraja
- Sometimes there were eruptions of ecstasy like kadamba flowers on some parts of his body, and sometimes one limb would be stunned while another would be trembling
- Sometimes when Lord Krsna's elder brother, Lord Balarama, felt tired after playing and lay His head on the lap of a cowherd boy, Lord Krsna Himself served Him by massaging His feet
- Sri Advaita Acarya and Srila Nityananda Prabhu, who are plenary parts of the Lord, are His principal associates. With these two the Lord performs His pastimes in various ways
- Sri Gokula, the highest of all, is also called Vraja, Goloka, Svetadvipa and Vrndavana
- Sri Rama and Sri Laksmana, who are plenary portions of Lord Krsna and Balarama respectively, entered into Them at the time of Krsna's and Balarama's appearance
- Sri Ramadasa broke his flute in anger and went away, and at that time my (Krsnadasa Kaviraja's) brother fell down
- Surrounding Vaikuntha is a mass of water that is endless, unfathomed and unlimited
T
- That abode is manifested within the material world by the will of Lord Krsna. It is identical to that original Gokula; they are not two different bodies
- That Ananta Sesa is the devotee incarnation of Godhead. He knows nothing but service to Lord Krsna
- That fragment of the Supreme Lord, known as the Maha-purusa, appears for the purpose of creation, maintenance and annihilation and is called an incarnation
- That impersonal Brahman effulgence consists only of the effulgent rays of the Lord. Those fit for sayujya liberation merge into that effulgence
- That Lord Visnu is but a part of a part of a plenary portion of Lord Nityananda, who is the source of all incarnations
- That Maha-purusa (Karanodakasayi Visnu) is known as a plenary part of Him who is Lord Nityananda Balarama, the favorite associate of Lord Caitanya
- That Maha-purusa is identical with the Personality of Godhead. He is the original incarnation, the seed of all others, and the shelter of everything
- That night Lord Nityananda appeared to me in a dream because of my good quality in chastising my brother
- That original Lord Krsna appeared in Navadvipa as Lord Caitanya, and Balarama appeared with Him as Lord Nityananda
- That person of whom Lord Ananta is a kala, or part of a plenary part, is Lord Nityananda Prabhu. Who, therefore, can know the pastimes of Lord Nityananda?
- That purusa (Karanodakasayi Visnu) is the performer of creation, maintenance and destruction. He manifests Himself in many incarnations, for He is the maintainer of the world
- That region is called Siddhaloka, and it is beyond the material nature. Its essence is spiritual, but it does not have spiritual varieties
- That same Lord Visnu, in the form of Lord Sesa, holds the planets upon His heads, although He does not know where they are, for He cannot feel their existence upon His heads
- That Sankarsana, who is transcendental pure goodness, is a partial expansion of Nityananda Balarama
- That Vaikuntha region is all-pervading, infinite and supreme. It is the residence of Lord Krsna and His incarnations
- That very second I started for Vrndavana, and by His mercy I reached there in great happiness
- The activities of Lord Rama were full of suffering, but Laksmana, of His own accord, tolerated that suffering
- The Brahmas and other lords of the mundane worlds appear from the pores of Maha-Visnu and remain alive for the duration of His one exhalation. I adore the primeval Lord, Govinda, of whom Maha-Visnu is a portion of a plenary portion
- The dust and shade of the lotus feet of the Vaisnavas have been granted to this fallen soul by the mercy of Lord Nityananda
- The earth, water, fire, air and ether of Vaikuntha are all spiritual. Material elements are not found there
- The first purusa casts His glance at maya from a distance, and thus He impregnates her with the seed of life in the form of the living entities
- The four Kumaras hear Srimad-Bhagavatam from His lips, and they in turn repeat it in the transcendental bliss of love of Godhead
- The glories of Lord Nityananda's transcendental attributes are unfathomable. Even Lord Sesa, with His thousands of mouths, cannot find their limit
- The goddess of fortune is attracted by His sweetness, which Srila Rupa Gosvami has described in this way
- The land there is touchstone (cintamani), and the forests abound with desire trees. Material eyes see it as an ordinary place
- The material planets rest within the stem that grows from the lotus navel of Lord Narayana. Among these planets are seven oceans
- The maya aspect of material nature is the immediate cause of the cosmic manifestation. But it cannot be the real cause, for the original cause is Lord Narayana
- The mercy of Lord Nityananda showed me Sri Madana-mohana and gave me Sri Madana-mohana as my Lord and master
- The ocean of Lord Nityananda's glories is infinite and unfathomable. Only by His mercy can I touch even a drop of it
- The purusa (Maha-Visnu) is the primary incarnation of the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- The purusa enters each and every one of the countless universes. He manifests Himself in as many separate forms as there are universes
- The reflected rays of His body mix with maya, and thus maya gives birth to myriad universes
- The six attributes are all spiritual. Know for certain that they are all manifestations of the opulence of Sankarsana
- The stem of that lotus is the resting place of the multitude of planets
- The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, is the fountainhead of all incarnations. Lord Balarama is His second body
- The universe measures five hundred million yojanas. Its length and breadth are one and the same
- The universe, which measures five hundred million yojanas in diameter, rests on one of His hoods like a mustard seed
- The water of the Karana Ocean, which is the original cause, is therefore spiritual. The sacred Ganges, which is but a drop of it, purifies the fallen souls
- Then He created water from the perspiration of His own body and with that water filled half the universe
- There (in the spiritual sky) the personal feature of Balarama called Maha-sankarsana is the shelter of the spiritual energy. He is the primary cause, the cause of all causes
- There He manifested Vaikuntha as His own abode and rested in the waters on the bed of Lord Sesa
- There is one marginal potency, known as the jiva. Maha-sankarsana is the shelter of all jivas
- There, in part of the ocean of milk, lies Svetadvipa, the abode of the sustainer, Lord Visnu
- Thereafter, when He inhales, all the universes again enter His body
- Therefore Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu has exhibited to everyone all the pastimes of all the various incarnations
- Therefore Lord Krsna is the original cause of the cosmic manifestation. Prakrti is like the nipples on the neck of a goat, for they cannot give any milk
- Therefore who can describe the mercy of the lotus feet of Him (Lord Nityananda) by whom I have attained the shelter of this Lord Govinda?
- These two are one and the same identity. They differ only in form. Lord Balarama is the first bodily expansion of Krsna, and He assists in Lord Krsna's transcendental pastimes
- These two brothers, I told him, are like one body; They are identical manifestations. If you do not believe in Lord Nityananda, you will fall down
- They know that there is no difference between the incarnation and the source of all incarnations. Previously Lord Krsna was regarded in the light of different principles by different people
- This is the opulence of the Lord. Although situated within the material nature, He is never affected by the modes of nature. Similarly, those who have surrendered to Him and have fixed their intelligence upon Him are not influenced by the modes of nature
- This may be understood by the example of the sun and the sunshine, in which Brahman is like the sunshine and Krsna Himself is like the sun
- Those who attain brahma-sayujya liberation cannot gain entrance into Vaikuntha; their residence is outside the Vaikuntha planets
- Thus I saw such opulence in Lord Nityananda Svarupa. His wonderful form, qualities and pastimes are all transcendental
- Thus in the spiritual sky there are varieties of pastimes within the spiritual energy. Outside the Vaikuntha planets appears the impersonal reflection of light
- Thus Lord Caitanya is also the only controller. All others are His associates or servants
- Thus Lord Nityananda has unlimited incarnations. In transcendental emotion He calls Himself a servant of Lord Caitanya
- Thus prakrti, by the energy of Lord Krsna, becomes the secondary cause, just as iron becomes red-hot by the energy of fire
- Thus the Bhagavad-gita also states again and again that the Absolute Truth always possesses inconceivable power
- Time, nature, prakrti (as cause and effect), the mind, the material elements, false ego, the modes of nature, the senses, the universal form, complete independence and the moving and nonmoving beings appear subsequently as His opulences
- To disclose it is not proper, for it should be kept as confidential as the Vedas, yet I shall speak of it to make His mercy known to all
V
- Vasudeva, Sankarsana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha are the primary quadruple forms, from whom all other quadruple forms are manifested. They are all purely transcendental
- Vasudeva, Sankarsana, Pradyumna and Aniruddha constitute this second quadruple. They are purely transcendental
- Visnu has three forms called purusas. The first, Maha-Visnu, is the creator of the total material energy (mahat), the second is Garbhodasayi, who is situated within each universe, and the third is Ksirodasayi, who lives in the heart of every living being
W
- Wearing yellow garments and decorated with a flower garland, Lord Krsna, appearing among the gopis with His smiling lotus face, looked directly like the charmer of the heart of Cupid
- What is the value of a throne to Lord Krsna? The masters of the various planetary systems accept the dust of His lotus feet on their crowned heads
- What is Your glory? Unlimited universes pass through the pores of Your body just like particles of dust passing through the opening of a window
- When Lord Krsna appeared, He (Balarama) became His elder brother to serve Him to His heart's content and make Him enjoy all sorts of happiness
- When Minaketana was seated in the yard, this brahmana did not offer him respect. Seeing this, Sri Ramadasa became angry and spoke
- When someone saw the eyes of Minaketana Ramadasa, tears would automatically flow from his own eyes, for a constant shower of tears flowed from the eyes of Minaketana Ramadasa
- When the purusa exhales, the universes are manifested with each outward breath
- When the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krsna appears, He is the shelter of all plenary parts. Thus at that time all His plenary portions join in Him
- Whenever he shouted aloud the name Nityananda, the people around him were filled with great wonder and astonishment
- Where am I, a small creature of seven spans the measure of my own hand? I am enclosed in the universe composed of material nature, the total material energy, false ego, ether, air, water and earth
- Where it has been stated that the Lord's enemies and devotees attain the same destination, this refers to the ultimate oneness of Brahman and Lord Krsna
- Who in this world but Nityananda could show His mercy to such an abominable person as me?
- Who is this mystic power, and where has she come from? Is she a demigod or a demoness? She must be the illusory energy of My master, Lord Krsna, for who else can bewilder Me?
- With His thousands of mouths He sings the glories of Lord Krsna, but although He always sings in that way, He does not find an end to the qualities of the Lord
- With Radha and Lalita serving Him on His two sides, He attracts the hearts of all by His own sweetness
- Within the stem of that lotus were the fourteen worlds. Thus the Supreme Lord, as Brahma, created the entire creation
- Without a doubt He is directly the son of the King of Vraja. Only a fool considers Him a statue
