Higher taste , reverberating

The following verse epitomises the Sri Harinama sankirtana movement instigated by Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu and Lord Nityananda, which AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada brought to the world , beginning in 1965 in USA.

Bhagavad Gita 2.59

visaya vinivartante
niraharasya dehinah
rasa-varjam raso ‘py asya
param drstva nivartate

TRANSLATION

The embodied soul may be restricted from sense enjoyment, though the taste for sense objects remains. But, ceasing such engagements by experiencing a higher taste, he is fixed in consciousness.

When we call out Gaura and  Nityananda’s  names .

We are addressing Srimati Radharani , Lord Krishna, and Lord  Balarama . Lord Balarama expanding as Maha Sankarsan and Mula Sankarsan expands all the living beings eternally serving Krishna in His  incalculable and inconceivable capacities . He is extremely compasionate upon the living beings and when He comes as Nityananda prabhu He magnanimity is greatly expanded under the order of Sri Caitanya Mahāprabhu , who is tasting the most glorious love of Srimati Radharani , the supreme Goddess of fortune,  her kindness and compasionate nature knows no end , and Mahaprabhu orders Nityananda prabhu to distribute this sweetness far and wide .

In this age of degradation,  quarrel and hypocrisy our  consciousness has become so degraded , that  practically speaking pious behaviour and good hearts are rarely seen ,  nevertheless immediately even the most unqualified  and degraded person can be immediately delivered from the depths of degradation and taste some of  the trancendental thrills of the spiritual world and discover something of their spiritual form .

By the mercy and kindness of Srimati Radharani ,  Lord Krishna, and Lord Balarama and Their devotees, the Hare Krishna Maha Mantra  is reverberating  throughout the world and has surcharged the world with auspiciousness . The energies of the world are gradually changing , innocent people’s intelligence is awakening, and they are  beginning to see clearly fake leaders who only bring miserable conditions. As intelligence develops, such newly invigorated souls are leaving behind lifetimes of previous conditioning and the  false promises of permanent happiness in matter .

Ultimately, what is being distributed by Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Love of God , is the greatest exhibition of magnanimity , the greatest  display of it as thd highest of spiritual bliss is given to the lowest and most degraded person’s. Srila Gour Govinda Swami would say, you can not surrender artificially to Krishna, It’s a surrender based on pure love . Mahaprabhu is tasting the Love Radharani feels for Krishna and is  distributing it to one and all , through the chanting of Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.
