Суд над Бхагавад-гитой / Attempt to ban Bhagavad-gita

I have no knowledge; I’m no scholar and I have no
devotion. I am not a Bhaktivedanta. I’m not even a Bhakti-
shastri. I’m not a Bhakti-anything. For all the decades of
whatever little sorry service I have managed to muster to the
Hare Krishna movement, I have never really ever amounted to
very much. Moreover, how very meager is my every kind of so-
called sadhana! All my endeavors are fraught with a myriad of
imperfections. Practically, I have no recourse, no other hope, no
other sadhana than to pitifully cry for the special causeless
mercy of the Lord and His devotees. I continue to stand as an
insignificant very low-class so-called disciple of a very high-class
guru. Indeed, fool that I am, I have not even the slightest
remorse for that. Still, by the grace of my beloved spiritual


master, Srila Prabhupada, within me has somehow grown an
exceptionally profound regard and attachment for Krishna’s
Holy Name. Without pretence, I beg my esteemed readers to
mercifully bless me with even so much as a (vraja-dhuli) dust
particle of raga-mayi loving service to the Holy Name, which
ever-exaltedly reigns as the very heart of transcendental book
distribution.

My dear most loveworthy and merciful Radha-
Shyamasundara! I end these effusive outpourings in the dust of
Your lotus feet on this twenty-fifth day of August, 2008,
corresponding to the 112th appearance day anniversary of my
beloved spiritual master, Nitya-lila-pravistha Oa Vineupada
Paramahaasa 108 Cre Cremad Bhaktivedanta Swami Maharaja
Prabhupada Srilaa Srilaai, in the year Gaurabda 522 at the
Krishna-Balarama Mandira, situated in the blissful, wish-fulfilling
pleasure sands (Ramana-reti) of Your resplendent land of Shri
Vrindavana-dhama. May the broad-minded, forward-thinking
souls evermore respect these deliberations, which are replete
with profound concerns for advancing a more progressive
culture of antaranga-bhakti in the lives of Your seriously
dedicated sankirtana devotees. Please let those essence-seeking,
deeply introspective, softhearted individuals who patiently and
sincerely read or hear these verbose utterances very soon
attain the highest transcendental happiness (paramananda) in
the spontaneous loving service of Your lotus feet according to
their innermost heart’s aspirations.

Appendix



Meaning of the

Hare Krishna Maha-Mantra





HARE: O Radhe! Mistakenly leaving aside the shelter of Your
soft lotus feet, I have come to this world to suffer unbearable
material pangs and continuously offend You. Please forgive me.



Krishna: O Krishna! You are the supreme husband, attractive
to all living entities. I surrender at Your lotus feet. Please grant
me the matchless gift of Your unalloyed devotional service and
mitigate the piercing pain of our separation.



HARE: O Radhe! Now, abjuring the worldly vanity of male
egoism, I beg to eternally remain as Your female friend and
maidservant in the land of Vraja. You are my supreme goddess
and the mistress of my heart. Please uplift me and protect me.



Krishna: O Krishna! You are unlimitedly handsome and thus
naturally enchant the hearts of all young girls. Please accept me
as a maidservant of Your maidservant’s maidservant.




Krishna: O cupid of Vrindavana! You are Radharani’s priyatama
and my priyatama also. I offer my everything to You. Please
accept me and be satisfied with whatever little I can offer.



Krishna: O cunning boy! Is it to Your liking to neglect me?
Please don’t discourage my long-cherished desire to have You
as my supreme husband.



HARE: O Radhe! Please tell about me to Your Krishna and
pacify my heart.



HARE: O Radhe! Please save me!





HARE: O Radhe! You are very merciful to Your devotees. Please
shower unprecedented mercy upon me, Your insignificant
maidservant.



RaMA: O Radhika-ramaAa! O Shyama! You are pleased by
devotion to Your devotees. Please find some reason to be
pleased with me and shower me with Your special causeless
mercy.



HARE: O Radhike! Your pleasure pastimes are unfathomable!
Please accept me as Your own and engage me in any fitting
service as You please.



RaMA: O lover boy! Why are You looking at me like that? There
are millions of girls much more beautiful than me in this land of
Vraja.



RaMA: O debauchee number one! Don’t touch the delicacies! Do
You think we are up for grabs? Don’t think we can be gotten so
easily.



RaMA: O You nonsense! Let go of my sari! Get back! Stop
grabbing me!




HARE: He Radhe! Your lover is incorrigible! Please subdue Him
with Your infinite charms.



HARE: O Radhe! Please save me!
