The Sacred Krishna Conscious number 5
Veerendra Ekbote
Bhagvan Krishna appeared with all his potencies on the earthly planet 5000 years ago.
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu himself appeared as a devotee of the Supreme Lord to exemplify devotional service and went to Vrindavan for the first time 500 years ago.
Srila Prabhupada went to preach Krishna consciousness in the west and established ISKCON 50 years ago.
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu manifested as a devotee of the Supreme Lord Krishna himself in the Panchattava or 5 forms of Bhakti which included other 4 manifestations to spread Bhakti and the Sankirtan movement that inundated the world with chanting of holy names of the Supreme Lord. The other 4 manifestations were Nityanand Prabhu who manifested as an expansion of devotion, Advaita Acharya who manifested as incarnation of a devotee, Srivas Pandit manifested as paraphernalia for devotional service and Gadadhar Pandit appeared as the potency of the Supreme Lord in devotional service.
The above description denotes that number 5 is indeed a sacred Krishna conscious number because all the numbers i.e. 5000, 500, 50 and 5 are divisibles of 5 in units, tens, hundreds and thousands starting from
5 – Panchattatva (Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Nityanand Prabhu, Advaita Acharya, Srivas Pandit and Gadadhar Pandit) who appeared 500 years ago in Bengal to spread Krishna consciousness and inundate the world with Sankirtan movement that lays stress upon chanting of holy names which is the only way for escaping the repeated cycle of birth and death and attain the eternal spiritual world.
50 – Srila Prabhupada - 32nd Guru (3+2=5) a bonafide spiritual master belonging to the disciplic succession of Gauda BramhaMadhva Vaishnav sampradaya having its origin from Bhagvan Krishna himself when he appeared 5000 years ago on the earthly planet, in which Chaitanya Mahaprabhu also appeared 500 years ago, went to USA in the west from Kolkata, India in 1965 AD and started preaching Krishna consciousness and established ISKCON 50 years ago in New York, extensively travelled the globe 14 times to preach Krishna consciousness, translated Sanskrit and Bengali Vaishnav literatures in English chief among them Bhagvad Gita As it, is, the voluminous SrimadBhagvatam Purana, Nectar of Devotion, Nectar of Instruction etc and is considered modern day Vyasa and a JagadGuru for he initiated many western, Indian and devotees worldwide to the Krishna conscious movement until he disappeared to the spiritual abode in 1977 AD which created a spiritually awakened Krishna conscious movement or society that will guide the world for the next 10000 years.
500 – ShriChaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared in Navadwipa, Mayapur Dham in Bengal province in 1488 AD to taste the love of Radharani for Krishna by becoming devotee of Bhagvan Krishna and to spread Bhakti or Krishna consciousness to the fallen conditioned Souls of Kaliyuga by introducing the Sankirtan movement which involves chanting of holy names as it is the prescribed Yugadharma for the present age of Kali for it gives the Sadhak or devotee love of Godhead or Krishnaprema and also revives his original state of consciousness for eternally serving the Supreme Lord in loving devotion in the spiritual world. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu visited Vrindavan Dham for the first time 500 years ago in 1515 AD and discovered many lost places of the pastimes of Radha Krishna and his intimate Gopis and initiated many devotees chief among them the 6 Goswamis of Vrindavan who spread Krishna consciousness and who build temples dedicated to the deities which were related to the pastimes of Radha Krishna in Vrindavan and Vrajdham. Many Krishna conscious devotees all over the world celebrated this historic movement especially in Vrindavan Dham in 2015 as it was the 500th year of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu visiting Vrindavan by narrating the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya when he visited Vrindavan 500 years ago which gave immense bliss to the devotees.
5000 – Bhagvan Krishna descended from the spiritual world with all his potencies 5000 years ago and performed his earthly pastimes for 127 years as the Supreme Lord lessened the burden of the earthly planet which was ruled by many demoniac kings and emperors by killing them, at the same time gave pleasure to his devotees by performing pastimes and protected them from miscreants and by establishing Dharma and delivered the eternal knowledge of Bhagvad Gita to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra.
Bhagvan Krishna appears only once in a day of Bramha which is equivalent to 4 billion 32 million earthly years and we fallen conditioned Souls of Kaliyuga are so fortunate that he performed his earthly pastimes 5000 years ago in Vrindavan, Mathura and Dwarka for 127 years and then Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared as a devotee 500 years ago in Bengal along with his associates to exemplify devotional service unto the Supreme Lord by spreading the chanting of holy names of Krishna and most recently in the same disciplic succession Srila Prabhupada established ISKCON movement 50 years ago in AD 1965 in the west which spread rapidly throughout the world and which gave the priceless and matchless gift of Krishna consciousness to the fallen conditioned Souls of Kaliyuga by which they can get delivered from the repeated cycle of birth and death.
Devotees who are fortunate and who take shelter of the holy names of Krishna by accepting a Spiritual master in the disciplic succession established by Lord Chaitanya will surely gain the mercy of Supreme Lord Krishna, Lord Chaitanya and Srila Prabhupada who established the ISKCON movement as Srila Prabhupada obeyed the instructions of his Spiritual master Bhaktisiddhant Saraswati Thakur to preach Krishna consciousness in the west and eventually it spread to every town and village as was predicted by Lord Chaitanya 500 years ago. We are all indebted to Srila Prabhupada who established the ISKCON movement which has done an exemplary work for spreading Krishna conscious knowledge and by doing transcendental book distribution written by his divine grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Srila Prabhupada devotees gain mercy of the Supreme Lord Krishna, Shri Guru and Gauranga because they are performing devotional service unto the Supreme Lord Krishna with faith and conviction while following the 4 regulative principles which will sooner or later free them from the repeated cycle of birth and death and will help them in reviving their original, blissful Satchidanand swarup and of eternally serving the Supreme Lord in the spiritual world.
