Nityananda Trayodasi Chinese Translation
→ Nitaiprasada

In this lecture Guru Maharaja explaining about the meaning of Nitai Kamala song, on how we need to get mercy from Lord Nityananda to attain the lotus feet of Radha and Krishna. It is said with mercy from Lord Nityananda we can get Lord Gaurangga mercy and with Lord Gaurangga mercy’s we can attain loving service to Radha and Krishna. Sometime it is said to attain Lord Nityananda mercy we can try to get mercy from Jagai and Madhai.

In his song Kabe Habe Bolo, Bhaktivinoda Thakur write “When will I can get the mercy of Lord Nityananda?” when you get the mercy of Lord Nityananda you get out of maya, when you get out of maya you can go to marketplace of holy name.

In the marketplace of holy name you can buy the holy name, sale the holy name or even you can steal the holy name… Bhaktivinoda continued you better to hurry because Jagai and Madhai is taking everything… and what is the price of holy name? the price is faith…

Guru Maharaja then mention that Nityananda is Balaram himself just like Sri Gaurangga is Krishna. When Lord Nityananda just a kid, He made drama of Krishna lila, he was just under 12 years old and haven’t studied yet.

But, He did the very elaborate drama of Krishna lila, with all of the avatars. Many people watched it, and they all wonder “How can you know all these pastimes?” and then he will answer: “Well, this is my Lila, so I know it.” and the people just laugh because they think this is just a little boy talking.

The lecture continued with more Nityananda Lila, how he travel all of India, staying in Vrndavana and then met Sri Gaurangga Mahaprabhu in Navadvipa.

Please listen the audio for more nectar. Hare Krishna.
