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
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 also in a trancendental sence addressing Srimati Radharani , Lord Krishna, and Lord Balarama . Lord Balarama expanding as Maha Sankarsan and Mula Sankarsan expands all the living beings , eternally He is serving Krishna in His incalculable and inconceivable capacities . He is extremely compasionate upon the living beings and when Balarama comes in the form of Nityananda prabhu His 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. Srimati Radharani’s kindness and compasionate nature knows no end , and Mahaprabhu orders Nityananda prabhu to distribute Her kindness and 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 at once 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 . It’s the greatest exhibition of magnanimity , the greatest display of magnanimity as the highest of spiritual bliss is handed 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.
Cleaning the mirror of the heart and revealing pure love.
