Sree Krishna, the Lord of Love
Premananda Bharati, Baba
Krishna (Hindu deity)
Chaitanya's love, devotion and spirituality will ever remain
unparalleled. He preached Krishna, the Seed and Soul of Love Absolute,
and while preaching he would burst forth into song in praise of Krishna.
Thus singing he would be filled with ecstasy and, in its fullness, he
would be moved into the most graceful dance the world has ever seen, now
shouting the Name of his Lord and anon weeping for his Lord's grace, his
arms and whole body waving and quivering with the heaving billows of his
heart's love-ocean, streams of which, like water from many fountains,
would flow from his eyes in the shape of tears. And in those tears,
streaming straight from his eyes to the ground, all those, who catching
his spirit caught also his ecstatic motion, would be literally bathed.
And all India was "flooded," as the authoritative records of his
apostles tell us, with Chaitanya's Divine Love, and millions of sinners
that felt it, were borne away by its tide.
Sree Chaitanya preached and proved the potency of Krishna's Name—that
His Name is the Lord Himself. If anybody says "Krishna, Krishna"
mentally or loudly and concentrates his mind on it, he is bound to
absorb its Love-Nectar, be drunk with its ecstasy, see Krishna in Form
and in everything, and finally go to Goloka after passing out of this
life. Hari is the popular Name of Krishna. It means, He Who steals our
sins. Chaitanya would shout "Hari, Hari!" or "Haribole!" (say, Hari) and
vibrations of that Name would thrill through all hearers and change them
into pious devotees. Millions upon millions were thus saved by him,
millions of sinners turned into saints. The world has never seen such an
Avatār, the Incarnation of All-Love Krishna. He lived the most blameless
life from childhood to his disappearance at the age of forty-eight.
Like master, like servants. His Apostles were of such spiritual purity
and sublimity that it would be hard to find one like them even in India
of the past. Any of them was competent to save a whole world. They have
left thousands of Books on Krishna and Chaitanya's Life and Teachings
which are of the utmost value to the students and adherents of all
religions of all climes, ages and denominations. Love is the theme of
every book, and it is difficult to resist its essence pouring into you
as you read them.
