Surabhi Kunj
Surabhi Kunj
This is the spot where BVT conceived the marketplace of the Holy Name. This is a little down the road from BVT's house. SP says in the CC that every big project starts with a seed of intention. Krsna says we are agents and the way we associate we know how we are going to move in life. When we cultivate good association then all wonderful desires will fructify. That awakening in your mind that we want that and then focus on it and then chant HK mantra (the seed that I want to serve Radha Krsna) then there is no distraction, we sincerly want that. Sankirtans we see everywhere all start with the idea of distributing books and then focusing on this, the seed the intention. It all starts with Nitai and Gaura and they appear on the horizon of Gauda to disaapate the darkness of ignorance everywhere.
Marketing is all about this, how to sell from our marketplace - Books, Holy Name, Prasadam KC, SB - best seed and intension we can get anywhere. We aren't selling a religion, it is a pure intension of serving the lord. We are approaching God with no motive just service to Him. BVT conceived of the marketplace here at Surabhi Kunj
Each one start a center in his or her home and become a broker and that will spread all over the world to spread the Holy Name. We don't need a church, temple etc, all we need is the sincerity is the Holy Name and then focus on it. Just like a pan shop, a small center and just spread the Holy Name. Google, Apple all started from a little garage, then use your qualitative skills, scheme and draw a map on how we are going to spread the Holy Name in our neighborhood. We have to set a qualitative goal and the pure intension to achieve the goal.
Take the skills we have and then figure out how to knock a million doors in a month. So why not us, let's do it take up the mission and take the pure spirit and couple that with the idea of how to spread it everywhere.
Here is the dusty garage from where enterpreneurship started and here is where the impetus was created to go out and share this Holy Name with everyone. If you need a loan, just go to Mahaprabhu say I need your mercy, I'm setting up a small shop and I need some capital to expand the KC all over the world and then put all your intelligence to work or bring in intelligent people and encourage the heck out of them to spread the KC movement everywhere. If you die doing this work, then you will keep doing it in your next life as it's a fully transcendental activity. So we are just running behind BVT to allow us to spread this Holy Name all over the world. This is the place to ask for that mercy and capital. Why do we have to run, because our Guru is running, running behind his Guru and Guru is running behind Krsna so we have to call out to get the mercy. Call out to Guru and Gauranga.
HG Rajendrananda Prabhu
This place is so auspicious. Surabhi Kunj is very very special going to BVT's home. We are getting cleansed for the maha abhishek which is going to come. Navadwip dhaam is very very auspicious. Never leave the Holy Dhaam in your heart, even if you go out of the Dhaam, internally never leave the Dhaam. Give the Holy Name to everyone and become a marketeer and spread the Holy Name, this is being a Guru, share the mood to everyone, this is the mission of our parampara, give this gift away to everyone you meet. Now it's time to get up from my vrat and give it to everyone. This is not a stroll down the street whistling a tune, but that's why we go to the dhaam to strenghten our pot and fill it up and get that shield to protect ourselves from the onslaughts of Kali Yuga. Nitai gives it to everyone and everybody, just stay focussed.
This is Godrumadvip, it's the island of Chanting. CHANTING must be performed loudly and we should chant the 10 offenses loudly everyday. In the west it might seem such a long way to get Krsna prema but here at Mayapur it seems possible. Gauranga and Nitai and giving it out freely so if he's giving it to everyone why not me? What is the difficulty?
Antardwip - full surrender. Following our Guru means full surrender. Our hearts are like coal and it's not easy to clean coal. We are nothing but the servant of Lord Chaitanya, servant of Lord Chaitanya . SP said we should perform chanting loudly. Loud chanting is very important.
This particular place is called Surabhi Kund. Indra performed an offense to Krsna and even though he had asked for forgiveness still he thought what if I commit another offense. He learnt Krsna is going to come to Mayapur in the next incarnation, So he went to Surabhi who helped him bathe the Lord and said let's go to Nadia and let's worship Lord Chaitanya, even a cow can do it and what is the worship of Mahaprabhu - chanting the Holy Name. Mahaprabhu gave him darshan very soon long hands upto his knees, very beautiful form of the Lord. Indra and Surabhi just fell down at his feet. I know your desire and gave him Gauranga Prem. If we worship Lord Chaitnaya and Nityananda, they give Radha, Krsna prema right there, right round the corner.
Another pastime is of Markendeya Rsi, he asked for a boon, all desires will be fulfilled here. Markendeya desired 7 days of Brahma and he also got 7 nights of Brahma. It's a transcendental world here, BVT is 16 krosas is the transcendental world it's actually is a billion krosas and Markendentya saw it in the night beautiful trees, Surabhi cow saw him and gave Markendeya Rsi the special milk. You are in Nawadwip and he prayed to Mahaprabhu and he got the darshan. He got it, why not us, begging for the service of the Vaishnavas. Mahaprabhu revealed in Kali yuga He will be here and wanted Markendeya Rsi to come also. BVT, Jaganntha das babaji were all coming here and churned the SB at BVT's house. This is the marketplace of Holy Name.
Gaurachandra is my master. Simply by the mercy of Nityananda we get Krsna prema. If lord Nityananda sees somebody once with a tear in his eye that person has purchased Lord Nityananda and He will help us get Krsna prema.
==============
Then we sang the song:
1) boro sukher khabor gai
surabhi-kunjete namer hat khule'che (khoda nitai)
2) boro mojar kotha tay
sraddha-mulye suddhe-nama sei hatete bikay
3) jata bhakta-brinda basi'
adhikari dekhe' nama becche daro kasi
4) jadi nama kinbe, bhai
amar sange calo, mahajaner kache jai
5) tumi kinbe krishna-nama
dasturi loibo ami, purna ha'be kama
6) boro dayal nityananda
sraddha-matra lo'ye den parama-ananda
7) ek-bar dekhle cakhe jal
'gaura' bole' nitai den sakala sambal
8) den suddha krishna-siksa
jati, dhana, bidya, bala na kore apekha
9) amani chare maya-jala
grihe thako, vane thako, na thake janjal
10) ar naiko kalir bhoy
acandale den nama, nitai doya-moy
11) bhaktivinoda daki' koy
nitai-carana bina'ar nahi asray
Translation:
1) I am singing news of great holy tidings. Lord Nityananda Himself has opened a market-place of the holy
name in Surabhi-kunja.
2) He is selling the pure holy name in that market-place for the price of only one's faith.
3) Lord Nityananda, seeing all the devotees becoming attracted, is selling them the holy name after
bargaining with them.
4) O brother, if you want the holy name then come with me. We must go to that great soul, Nityananda.
5) You will get the name of Krishna, I will take my commission and all of our desires will be fulfilled.
6) Lord Nityananda is greatly merciful. Taking only one's faith, He gives the highest ecstasy.
7) If He sees only once tears in the eyes while chanting the name "Gaura" then He gives everything to
that person.
8) He gives the pure teachings of Krishna to everyone not caring for their birth, wealth, knowledge and strength.
9) Now, giving up the illusory snare of Maya, either remain in household life or in the forest as a sannyasi, for
no more troubles remain.
10) There is no more fear of the age of Kali. the merciful Nityananda gives the holy name to even the candalas.
11) Bhaktivinoda calls out: "Except for the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda there is no other shelter!"
HG Madhavanand Prabhu:
Why is such a special place - here in Surabhi Kunja Nityananda opened up a market place here
Why Surabhi Kunja - Khoda means My God Nitai - He's the God of everyone even the muslims we are taking shelter of this prabhu. In this place the cow surabhi is eternally residing.
Nanda maharaj went to perform the worship to Indra and we might think it's a ritualistic place but Krsna approached his father and asked what are you doing is this vedic ritual and Nanda maharaj said we've been doing so many year Krsna convinced Nanda Maharaj not to do this. Krsna became so furious that the highest devotees are doing worship to Indra who was appointent by him. Krsna shared how to take care of Govardhan.
Krsna says sailo asmi - Giriraj came and personally ate the offering, BUT Indra was furious. All this happened at Jatipur near Surabhi Kunda. There is a little difference between Vrindavan and Mayapur - Mayapur is the place of audarya dhaam and Surabhi Kunj is the maha maha audarya dhaam this is the place where lot of forgiveness is given. Nityananda spoke to Jiva gosvami here at this place. At this place Nityananda prabhu gives mercy because Nityananda doesn't see any fault.
Then HG Havi prabhu led a beautiful kirtan Jiv Jago Jiv Jago.

Narada muni bajaye vina - we sang this beautiful song
Sri Sri Radha Krsna bol bol
With our hearing and chanting we have to claim our real estate and we need to plant our deity there and then it's your own. That is the real purpose of life.
Then we did CHAD - Chapter 17
Then we read from Madhya chapter 12 - cleaning of the Gundica Mandir
BSST said one's life is successful if one's body is worn down by preaching Hari Katha. Pure devotee is willing to share his life for preaching KC. That is the goal of life and objective of life and that is the goal of life and our acharyas have promoted that as our goal of life and any living entity can do this. We need to have the desire to have that desire. Investing your energy in the Sankirtan movement is the best investment for your endeavor for this life. Spiritual life is no risk and all gain. When we being spritual life we feel we are giving up our material world. but when one become clear in our relationship with Krsna Material life is full of risk and Spiritual life is no risk. If we take a risk and take to spritual life and if we fall away then there is no loss but if we take material life and there is full of gain, still there is no gain. In spiritula life whereever you left and start again you start back up from where you left off.
As a preacher should we feel we have brought a devotee to Krsna and then the devotee is free to have his/her own free will, otherwise we will go mad. If we try to take every responsiblity of every devotee then we may deplete ourselves. Of course there is a way in which a preacher categorizes the - innocent, devotees, lord and the envious. We should try to bring them closer to Krsna but we can try to do our best to help them come closer but not have it affect you. We should do our duty and then we see it's heart wrenching then we need to detach.
The non envious nature to allow devotee to get mercy. That is the non-envious nature which is very very beautiful. When we see someone rise above it, we feel nourished in our lives. Life is not simple and it's complicated and when there is complications then we just need to show up and just try to communicate the best you can with the best intention and there is a way forward.
It's heartening to see that there is impasses with the great souls also and it's amazing to see the relationships of Mahaprabhu with his eternal associates.
Join CHAD - at least Sanksrit or at least english or divide it into halves and then normally people chant the same chapter for amonth and if you do it for everyday and don't miss a day then after a year you will see there is a big difference. CHAD credit card. Another suggestion is pick out one of SP's books and read a set number of pages or verses everyday and that is a solid meal. We should hear only transcendental sound so don't eat junk (other sound vibration) otherwise we will become fat and awarkd. When yo have a higher taste and you feel you like it then you will notice you are protected from the material world. Ex - stick your finger again into the plug
So do CHAD, Be a sage page by page - read SP's books everyday.
Then we sang Nityananda astakam.
