Devarshi, you have already seen that God’s leela has started in Kaliyuga. Lord Krishna himself has incarnated in the form of Gauri, imbibing the feelings of Radha and her divine love. He is Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Gauranga, the golden incarnation of love, the living ocean of compassion, Devarshi, the time has come. The auspicious moment of Gaura Aarti is about to begin in Navadwip. And I have to perform the Aarti. Hey Gurudev, I am also coming. Hey, it’s time for Gauri Aarti in Navdeepat. Hurry up. Oh, I had forgotten the flowers for Lord Gauranga. My heart is yearning for the Aarti of Lord Gauranga. Yes we will reach that Basi Yaache Gora Chand Ratna Seene.

O Gauranga, how fortunate this Kaliyuga has become. You are sharing Krishna’s love with everyone without any caste or creed. So let’s go every day to every street, every house and give everyone the holy name of Krishna. At that time Navadwip was under the influence of Nawab Hussain Shah rule in West Bengal. It was not easy to perform religious rituals and kirtan in public. But Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is God himself. Who could stop them? Lord, what should I do? Just do one thing, always chant the name of Krishna. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare.

He complained about this to Chand Qazi of Navadwip. One day when Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was not present there. Chand Qazi reached Shrivas courtyard with his soldiers. There the devotees were chanting the name of Hari. The Qazi became angry and grabbed a drum and threw it on the ground. Then he gave a stern warning. If Sankirtan happens again in Navdeep, its consequences will be very serious. That night Chand Qazi in his house Just as you have broken the soil, I will tear your chest right now. You have dared to stop my Sankirtan. When Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu received the news that Chand Kaji had broken the Mridanga in the Srivasa courtyard and had banned the Sankirtana, the Lord became very angry. The Qazi had so much courage that he dared to stop my Sankirtan movement. This evening every person of Navadwip will come out with a torch in his hand. We all will go to Chand Qazi’s house together while singing Sankirtan. Lakhs of people started moving towards Chand Qazi’s house carrying torches and chanting Hari Naam Sankirtan.

Upon hearing this news, Chand Qazi became distraught with fear. He could not muster the courage to come out and sat hiding inside his own house. Where is that Chand Qazi? Who dared to stop my sankirtan. Bring him before me immediately. After some time the Qazi agreed to meet Mahaprabhu. Nimai why are you so angry? Due to village relations, you are like my nephew and I am your uncle. If you are my uncle then why were you hiding to meet me when I came to your house ? Because you were very angry. And now you look a little calmer. So I agreed to meet. Well, tell me, did you try to stop the Sankirtan earlier? But today when Sankirtan is going on in the entire Navadwip, why did you not try to stop it? That day when I broke the Mridang, I came home and slept. Last night I saw a terrible figure in my dream. Half man and half lion, his appearance was extremely fierce. He sat on my chest and roared, “If you stop the Sankirtan again, I will tear your chest apart.” He also threatened to destroy my entire family. Look at these marks of her nails on my chest Now I am completely convinced that you are Narayana whom Hindus consider to be the Supreme God. O Lord, please forgive me. Please take me under your protection, Lord. You have uttered the names Krishna and Narayan. With this all your sins have been destroyed. But you have to give me a promise that no one will ever stop the Sankirtana movement in Navadvipa. O Lord, today I pledge that no one in my lineage will ever stop the chanting of Shri Krishna Sankirtan. Say Hari Hari Hari, victory to Shri Krishna Sankirtan. The only means of salvation in Kaliyuga is chanting the holy names of the Lord. There is no other way than this. Not there. Not there. Not there. No other way, only Hari’s name, only Hari’s name, only Hari’s name. There are no hard and fast rules in Hari Naam. zero conditional. Just take it honestly wherever you are. Without love everything is useless and it is obtained only through the name Hari.
