Krishna Prem


Lord Krishna is the ocean of divine love. Whenever Krishna appeared on this earth He had this ocean of love with Him, but every time He had different roles and different actions so the ocean of love was not open for all. When Lord Krishna appeared as Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu with all His associates He opened the ocean of love for all and also enjoyed Himself. Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu taught the lesson of Krishna Consciousness to the world as a devotee of Lord Krishna. The wonderful ocean of love made them thirsty more and more and they used the endless ocean more and more.

Srila Rupa Goswami said in his prayer Lord Chaitanya is a “Mahabadanyaya Avatar”, though He is none other than Lord Krishna Himself.Lord Chaitanya has shown so much of mercy on conditioned souls.

Srila Prabhupad explained in his purport of Chaitanya Charitamrita sloka-20 and 21,When Lord Krishna appeared He saved all His devotees those who took shelter on His Lotus Feet, but when He appeared as Lord Chaitanya He did not stop to see any person if he is devotee or not, even He did not see his eligibility. He distributed Krishna Prem to all.

Srila Bhakti Siddhant Saraswati Thakur writes in his Anubhasya, As every living entity is the part of the Lord so every living entity has the eligibility for feeling of Krishna Prem, but the illusion of the material world is more active in them that they cannot come across the line, ultimately they find themselves in miseries all sufferings. Krishna Prem brings a man to the Lords ocean of love so the person feels the heavenly peace from the world of sufferings.

Srila Prabodhananda saraswati has explained in his book “Chaitanya Chandramrita” The Krishna Consciousness movement of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has a strong effect by His mercy on the conditioned souls that a person quickly realises the right or wrong. As those who are family men do not like wasting time by talking and thinking unnecessarily about their family, so called scholars are not reading more and more Vedas, the yogis are not practising more and more yogas, those who are tapaswis not practising hard tapasya, sanyasis have left the habit of reading more and more Sankhya-Darshan.

In this way many people started practising Krishna Consciousness more and more as explained and instructed by Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and also enjoyed the heavenly pleasure by His mercy.

In Chaitanya Charitamrita , Lord Chaitanya says,

“Krishna Mantra hoite habe samsar mochan,Krishna Nam hoite pabe Krishner charan.”

Only by chanting the Mahamantra the conditioned soul can be delivered from this material world and by chanting the Holy name one can get darshan of His Lotus Feet.

The magic of Krishna Consciousness awakens Krishna Prem in living entities heart and gives him the great opportunity to be in the Lords Ocean of love. This is the magic of Krishna Consciousness that a devotee never think about Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. They only tries and practises for more and more “PREMANANDAMRITA SINDHU”.

As an ideal Acharya Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has taught us Krishna Consciousness and also by His mercy has blessed us by the Mahamantra. So it is truly said that, by chanting Hare Krishna Mahamantra we will get bhaktibhava in our heart, follow the instructions of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to enjoy the heavenly pleasure .

. Krishna Nam hoite pabe Krishner charan.”

  • Hare Krishna,
    That is Krsna Prem explained in words as well as visually through images. I heard somewhere that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is Radhe Rani's incarnation for showing WHAT LOVE is, HOW it is done, WITH WHOM it is to be done.
