भगवान की कामना

Hare Krsna,

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada & Srila Gopal Krishna Maharaj.

भगवान की कामना- इस लेख का यह शीर्षक कुछ अजीब नही है? भगवान जो समस्त ब्रह्मांडों के तथा षड ऐश्वर्यों के पूर्णतम स्वामी हैं, क्या कोई कामना की इच्छा रखेंगे? लेकिन यह सच है | वे शुद्ध भक्तों की चरण-कमलों की धूल की कामना करते है ताकि उस धूल से अपने को पवित्र कर सके | वही भगवान, जिनका नाम ही इतना पवित्र है, लेने वाले भक्तों के हृदय की जन्मों की मैल को साफ़ कर देता है | 

शुद्ध भक्त जिसने भगवान को

भगवद् महिमा

सृष्टि का पालन भी तुझसे होता और तुझसे ही होता है संहार ,

सुख भी तुझसे
