Prabhu Jagadbandhu Sundara

[Nitaidas]

Here are some of his songs from his Sankirtana-padamrta:

Wake up Gor\=a, jewel of virtues,\\
the break of day has come.\\
With your dear one, how long\\
will you sleep there in one bed?\\
(How much more will you sleep? Pray tell.)\\
(Or, how much more will you pretend?)\\
(O Peak of Rasa!)\\
(1) The stars have all departed.\\
Wake up Gaura and Gad\=adhara!\\
The most pure moon in fatigue has descended.\\
(O the moon has now descended)\\
(after staying awake all night.)\\
Humorous, chaste Dawn just laughes with merriment.\\
(Those lilies there are weeping.) (Those lotuses there are expanding)\\
(That jewel of the day is becoming restless) (to see his beloved)\\
(2) On the branch sits the best of cuckoos\\
singing ``Jaya (Victory!)" without stopping.\\
Overwhelmed with rasa stutters\\
the Suradhun{\=\i}, softly softly.\\
(O you maddened by Prema)\\
(So that you will see),\\
Go now go with gathered bhaktas,\\
to the river's bank.\\
(They are standing at your door)\\
(They watch your path expectantly)\\
(Jagadbandhu is laughing sweetly)\\
(There is no ``chi chi" of bashfulness.)

Perhaps Prabhu Jagadbandhu Sundara should go in the earlier period. He lived mostly before the turn of the 20th century. Here is a pdf of his songs.

There he goes dancing,
Waving his two arms, anxious
to take living beings with him.
Saying: ``Who will take this love?
Who will take it?" he goes imploring.
Embracing even the Candalas,
he says: ``Brother, say Hari!
Without a price I give it away.
Worship Gor\=ar\=aya!"
``Come, come, come," says he,
while running he stumbles and falls.
From his rolling eyes so red
so many tears are shed.
That eternal treasure,
without requiring practice,
In such a way he distributes.
His gait like a forest peacock's,
Loudly and densely he cries out.
Covered with goosebumps,
with love the three worlds he floods.
Everyone's hearts are in blossom;
The names of Hari ceaselessly sung.
Bandhu, Bandhu! You're such an offender!
You've missed out on all that compassion.

Prabhu Jagadbandhu Sundar, eminates the sweetest smell from his body .
Prabhu Jagadbandhu sundar is adorned with the sweetest smell. As a young child he played hide and seek with his play mates who quickly uncoverd his hideing places by following his aroma

Nitai Prabhu, as you can see I have messed up, leaving such a long space by accident, if possible could you please tidy it up, or should I just post regardless.

[Nitaidas]

Sure. No problem. Sitadi, you should be able to modify your own posts without having to appeal to me or to repost them. Doesn't the "modify" button work for you?

[sita]

Thanks for that Nitai, its all new to me.


Hari-Purush appeared on this earth in 1871. This printed picture that I show you is a photograph taken in 1890 when He was only a boy of nineteen years. (picture can be viewed on this forum) He said "My mission is to create a new world by my spiritual power". He entered a thatched cottage, or rather a cell, totally cut off from the objective side of the world. Strange to say, He did not admit even light and air into that small cottage. He did not utter a single word, blocked the little house on all sides, and passed sixteen years and eight months there. We do not know what He did, we don't dare to speculate as to the tremendous amount of spiritual force He was generating there in order to save the world from the accumulated destructive agencies which developed throughout the Whole Dark Age.

After almost seventeen years He came out to repeat again to the deaf ears the teachings which I have been trying to humbly explain. He said: "I am sending my spiritual force against the destructive forces - the destructive powers of the world. Karmas are falling upon me, I must bear them in my body. Because of that you will soon find my body quite lifeless. The only way you can help me is by ceaseless prayer which must be chanted in chorus, in rhythm and in tune".

[sita]

His insistence was on these three points; the prayer must be ceaseless, because if there be stoppage we are apt to disturb the easy and even flow of His spiritual thought current. He insisted on its being preformed jointly, because He said that the mind of a ordinary average person is too feeble to fight alone the tremendous destructive forces. By concentrating a number of individual minds upon one purpose, their united power increases in geometrical procession. If one mind produces five units of power, two minds together produce not ten, but twenty-five units. He also insisted on the prayer being chanted in rhythm and in tune. The world He said, is vibrating at a particular rate, and according to the law of periodicity, a single man can displace a mountain if he works harmoniously and constantly. This whole preformance we term-in one word- "Maha Kirtan" which also includes the conception that the prayer must be chanted in a spirit of love and faith.

Maybe someone who understands Hindi could tell us briefly what was said, at least Baba's part?

So, is he really an avatar of Chaitanya M? How many traditional Gaudiya Gurus accept him as such? What about Radha Raman Charan Das Dev? Do Gaudiya Gurus accept him as avatar of Nityananda Prabhu?

No avatar here. It happens when people make the mistake of thinking their guru is literally God himself. We mustn't let imagination take over.

Ok. Who is your Guru?

[Ldd]

My initiating guru is Pandit Sri Haridas Shastri (eternal resident at Vrindavan dham) in the lineage of Sri Gadadhar Pandit Goswamiji. I was in the West and recieved initial knowledge in theory from A.C Bhaktivedanta Swamy and his disciples who learned it somewhere else. That helped to guide me.
