Sri Krishna Panchakam [English Lyrics and Translation] by HH Vishvesha Thirtha Swami

 Hare Krishna, 

All Glories To Sri Guru And Sri Gauranga!

I would like to dedicate my first post to His Holiness Vishveshva Thīrtha Swāmi, by translating his Sri Krishna Panchakam to english, which he composed during his 5th paryaya in the glory of Sri Krishna.


Sri Krishna Panchakam

durvāradevā rinikāyakālam
samsārasindhoraparam cha kūlam
krishnapradhattakshayasandhukūlam
bhavarnavasyotharanānukūlam

That lord, who is as ferocious as Yama to the congregation of vicious demons, he is the esplanade in this samsara, which is an ocean of miseries and sufferings. He also is the sailor, who takes us on a safe passage to reach him[himself being the shore or destination].He is the one who provides akshayambara to draupadi.

thāmāla nīlam dṛta hēma mālam

viṣvasya mūlam viviḍhorulīlam

bhaiṣmivilolam bhuvanaikapālam

bhaktālavālam pranamāmi bālam

Sri Krishna is as beautiful as the ṭamāla tree, he is dazzling with garlands of beautiful golden ornaments, he is the source of this entire world and he exhibits his opulent pastimes. He strolls with the daughter of bhēṣmaka, Rukmini, he is the only one responsible for the sustenance of this world. He nourishes his devotees just as a gardener cares for his saplings.

ulūkhalam dhāmavareṇa bhaḍvā karṣan

bhuvān bhūmiruhau nrpātayaḥ

nibhaḍya pāṣheća khalim khalam harē

vibhandya vidyādvayamaḍya saḍyaḥ

Oh Krishna, you uprooted two colossal trees, with a mortar on your back, the same way, please uproot my ignorance due to the influence of  the demon kali[kaliyuga] with the rope and please remove my illiteracy with regard to the relationship between the ātmā and paramātmā.

apārē kṣirōḍe pṛṭu maṭanaḥ samsāḍiṭa suḍām

hareir naivāgrṇāṭ surusumaṭīṭām kinṭu sugavām

payaḥ pāyam pāyam rućira navanīṭam samaḍan

prapedēnoṭrptim bhata bhagavataḥ paṣćyaṭa kripām.

During the Samudra Manthana or the churning of the ocean, when all the devatas relished the nectar amṛiṭa you being purnananda / nitya tripta, thus having no desire for anything, descended to Earth and have consumed again and again the milk produced by the cows, and have relished the butter. What is this, if not for your causeless mercy, the one who is fully satisfied and who is the fountainhead of pleasure?

namāmī kṛṣnam pravilupṭaṭriṣnam 

smarāmi bālam manasā sadālam

bhajāmi dēvam ḍuritaoḍadāvam

ḍayābhirāmam dayiṭam nikāmam

I always remember my most beloved lord Sri Krishna, having him installed in my bosom, who claims me due his infinite mercy and who reduces to ashes all sins just as blazing fire consumes a forest.

panćamē sveeyaparyāya kṛṣnasevā mahoṭsavē

viṣveṣa ṭīrṭa yaṭinā raćiṭam paḍya panćakam

This hymn was composed by HH Vishvesha Thirtha Swami as an offering during his fifth paryaya,

Sugarvenom Poison Ivy And Lotus (SPIAL1728)

 Hare Krishna!' It's been a really long time coming........ SPIAL 1728 is a safe community space that we're creating for devotees who are deprived of amiable vaishnava association.. Most of you might be wondering about this distinct name. Well this is about the bitter reality of many Devotees’ lives. Sri Krishnamrita Maharnava Sloka 264: “A Vaishnava has been born in our family. He will take us out of hell!” saying so, the Pitrus of a just-born clap and celebrate. The Pitamahas of the family dance in joy! This is how the prime Acharya of our Sampradaya Sri Madhvacharya describes the arrival of a Vaishnava, the one who is going to save everybody from damnation. Unfortunately, not everybody receives Vaishnavas the same way. Some Vaishnavas are born into anti-Vaishnava families where they are abused, physically and mentally, for performing devotional service. They are forced to cut off all their ties with the Vaishnava Devotees. Such Devotees are also suppressed, when they try

Homosexuality And Krishna Conciousness

Image
   Hare Krishna All Glories To Sri Guru And Sri Gauranga. I would like to thank HH Hridayananda Goswami and HG Amara Dasa Wilhelm Prabhu for their extremely helpful unbiased research.  I'm also grateful to the GALVA108 WEBSITE , which is highly recommended for all devotees.  The sole intention of this post:  Over the past few days I've had heated debates with many devotees, who are radically against homosexuality, different devotees had different understanding of 'homosexuality', and on different levels. Some found it nearly impossible for a person to be a homosexual or even find a homosexual couple, asserting that, it is something 'unreal'. Also spreading hate in the name of vaishnava dharma and acharyas. So let's find out from a spiritual perspective. What is homosexuality? Is it unnatural? Homosexuality is defined as the sexual attraction between members of the same sex. So is it unnatural or non existing, are homosexuals confused? Sri Caitanya-Caritamrta

 Hare Krishna All Glories To Sri Guru And Sri Gauranga! It is noted that  gotquestions.org , which is a protestant, evangelical and non denominational christian website, has been posting articles based on the vedanta, vaishnavas and several beliefs of vaishnavism, the intention of this post is not to hurt the sentiments of the fellow Christians but to refute the false claims of theirs, since it was felt necessary, to do so, as to avoid the general public getting misguided through the false interpretation of the scriptures and pure ignorance. The article shall be posted in parts due to it's huge size. And it shall be presented in the objection and refutation form, where the pūrvapakṣa will be answered one after the other. Objections can be found  here . pūrvapakṣa 1 : Hare Krishna is a mystical sect of Hinduism. Are Hare Krishnas Hindus?
