2 new books in Chaitanya Mahaprabhu tradition
Archana Joshi > While posted in Jaipur , I got a copy of MAA MANI book from Ramavtar Sharmaji and found it most enchanting and spiritually -elevating . Bhaiya, now your informing that recently 2 new books are out, has aroused my curiosity . Kindly enlighten all devotees about the same .
* Sister Archanaji , first new book is
SRI SRI VIJAYKRISHNAVACHNAMRIT
Like Gospel of Swami Ramakrishan Paramhans (1836-1886 (
it contains divine quotes , sayings , word of wisdom , dialogues of Vijaykrishanji Goswamiji Maharaj .
In fact ,in Chaitanya Mahaprabhu tradition , we have a prominent disciple Adwaitacharyaji Maharaj. In Adwaitacharyaji's 10th generation , great sage Vijaykrishanji Goswami was born on Rakhi-day ( poornima, 2nd August , 1841) . His contemporary Saints include Swami Ramakrishna Paramhans , Loknath Brahmchari , Lahiri Mahshya , Charandass Babaji etc. One of His main disciple was Maan Mani and as per His guidance came to Vrindavan in 1947 for divine Radha-Krishna leelas.
In the above new book , Goswami Vijaykrishanji Maharaj blesses us all that whoever chants Lord Hari's pious names , observes Sattvic diet & genuinely weeps for Divine love , can get unique experiences like Him with Shyamsunder or Lord Krishna !!!!! Famous Sri Hari kirtan is :--
Hare Ram Hare Ram, Ram Ram Hare Hare ;
Hare Krishan Hare Krishan, Krishan Krishan Hare Hare
To achieve above , Goswami Vijaykrshanji says that control on food , sleep is most important . GITAJI says :-
Naatyashnatastu yogo'sti nachaikaantamanashnatah;
Na chaatiswapnasheelasya jaagrato naiva chaarjuna.
16. Verily Yoga is not possible for him who eats too much, nor for him who does not eat at all; nor for him who sleeps too much, nor for him who is (always) awake, O Arjuna! type="text/javascript"> http://hari-vrinda-dham
Yuktaahaaravihaarasya yuktacheshtasya karmasu;
Yuktaswapnaavabodhasya yogo bhavati duhkhahaa.
17. Yoga becomes the destroyer of pain for him who is always moderate in eating and recreation (such as walking, etc.), who is moderate in exertion in actions, who is moderate in sleep and wakefulness...Chapter VI of GITAJI has 52 verses
Second new book is SADGURU KI LEELA i.e. the divinity Goswami Vijaykrishnaji played in life of a devotee Haridas Basuji. If Chaitanya Mahaprabhu totally changed life of Jagai-Madhai so Goswami Vijaykrishnaji also did of many devotees. This kripa or Grace of Sadguru Goswami Vijaykrishnaji is visible throughout the 312 pages book.
