PROTECTED BY JAYANANDA PRABHU

 Many many Moons ago during a Christmas marathon in Sacramento JAYANANDA and I were distributing books on K street in downtown Sacramento. I suggested that we go to the very large Sunrise mall. When we got there we started distributing books inside the mall. I got caught by the ultra heavy security who told me 

BOY YOU'RE GOING TO JAIL

He was like cross between a Southern Sheriff and a Nazi SS. He took me into his office and called the police.He held me for a very long time. But the police never came so he let me go. When I walked back to our car I saw the cab light on and JAYANANDA was chanting his very intense japa which I thought protected me. He told me that "I knew you would be safe."            -Vijitatma das (ACBSP)

Srimad Bhagavatam 10.14.8

 My dear Lord, one who earnestly waits for You to bestow Your causeless mercy upon him, all the while patiently suffering the reactions of his past misdeeds and offering You respectful obeisances with his heart, words and body, is surely eligible for liberation, for it has become his rightful claim.

Srimad Bhagavatam 1.1.1

 O my Lord, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, son of Vasudeva, O all-pervading Personality of Godhead, I offer my respectful obeisances unto You. I meditate upon Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa because He is the Absolute Truth and the primeval cause of all causes of the creation, sustenance and destruction of the manifested universes. He is directly and indirectly conscious of all manifestations, and He is independent because there is no other cause beyond Him. It is He only who first imparted the Vedic knowledge unto the heart of Brahmājī, the original living being. By Him even the great sages and demigods are placed into illusion, as one is bewildered by the illusory representations of water seen in fire, or land seen on water. Only because of Him do the material universes, temporarily manifested by the reactions of the three modes of nature, appear factual, although they are unreal. I therefore meditate upon Him, Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who is eternally existent in the transcendental abode, which is forever free from the illusory representations of the material world. I meditate upon Him, for He is the Absolute Truth.

Sri Prahlad Maharaj Srimad Bhagavatam 7.5.32

 Unless they smear upon their bodies the dust of the lotus feet of a Vaiṣṇava completely freed from material contamination, persons very much inclined toward materialistic life cannot be attached to the lotus feet of the Lord, who is glorified for His uncommon activities. Only by becoming Kṛṣṇa conscious and taking shelter at the lotus feet of the Lord in this way can one be freed from material contamination.

The Whole World Appears to be Happy

 Prabodhananda Sarasvati said, visvam purna-sukhayate: when one becomes Krsna conscious by the mercy of Lord Caitanya, for him the entire world appears happy, and he has nothing for which to hanker.

Savarana Sri Gaura Pada Padme Prarthana 1,2

My dear Lord Caitanya, please be merciful to me, because who can be more merciful than Your Lordship within these three worlds?  Your incarnation is just to reclaim the conditioned, fallen souls, but I assure You that You will not find a greater fallen soul than me. Therefore, my claim is first.

Siksastakam 1

“One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige, and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly.”

Siksastakam 2

 Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu prays: "O my Lord! Your holy name alone can render all benediction upon the living beings, and therefore You have hundreds and millions of names, like Kṛṣṇa and Govinda. In these transcendental names You have invested all Your transcendental energies, and there is no hard and fast rule for chanting these holy names. O my Lord! You have so kindly made approach to You easy by Your holy names, but unfortunate as I am, I have no attraction for them." (Śikṣāṣṭakam, 2).

Look Inward

  We advance by becoming conscious of our own faults, not by becoming conscious of the faults of others.

Quotes from Srila Prabhupada

 

Chaitanya Charitamrita Adi 14.1

 Things that are very difficult to do become easy to execute if one somehow or other simply remembers Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. But if one does not remember Him, even easy things become very difficult. To this Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu I offer my respectful obeisances.
