Rupanuga Bhajan Ashram Writings
This article 'Vikrīḍitaṁ vraja-vadhūbhir' was originally written by an unknown author under the editorship of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda and first published in the 8th volume of Dainika Nadīyā Prakāśa on 29th October 1933 under the title, ‘Rasa Yātrā.’ The article explains the dangers of hearing higher topics for the conditioned jīvas and how Śukadeva Gosvāmī has himself warned about this.
“Dāsa Gosvāmī and the Unique Position of Govardhana” is based upon a class by Śrīla Narasiṅgha Mahārāja that he gave in Vṛndāvana at Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Dāmodara Temple on 18th October 2009, on the occasion of Śrī Govardhana Pūjā.
This is a transcript of a class given by Śrīla Narasingha Mahārāja on Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja’s appearance day in Vṛndāvana at Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Dāmodara Temple on 12th October 2009. Narasingha Maharaja connects the appearance of Śrīla Śrīdhara Mahārāja with Rādhā-kuṇḍa and talks about his contributions.
“Mahāprabhu’s mudrā” was written by Swami B.G. Narasingha in the early 1990’s. This article explains the reason for Mahāprabhu’s descent and also the mudrā (hand gesture) of Śrī Caitanyadeva, that is found sometimes in the forms of Gaura-Gadādhara.
“Guru is One” was written by Śrīla B.G. Narasiṅgha Mahārāja in 1998. This article discusses the principle of akhaṇḍa-guru-tattva, the relative side of Śrī Guru, and touches upon the meaning of the guru-gāyatrī.
In this talk given by Śrīla Śrīdhara Deva Gosvāmī Mahārāja on Lalitā Saptamī, 27th August 1982, he glorifies the unique position of Lalitā Devī by quoting the Lalitā Praṇāma Stotra of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī Prabhu and discusses what Mahāprabhu came to give to the world in the form of parakīya-bhāva.
‘Heresy, Inquisition, Jihad, Fatwa and the Hare Kṛṣṇas’ was written by Śrīla Narasiṅgha Mahārāja in July 2010 was a follow-up article to his essay, ‘Śriya Śuka.’ After receiving a barrage of complaints, insults (and a few death threats) from members of a certain Vaiṣṇava mission, Narasiṅgha Mahārāja asks if there is any difference between Christian and Muslim fanatics and the Hare Kṛṣṇas?
‘Śrīyā Śuka’ was written by Swami B.G. Narasingha on July 11th 2010. This article answers the question whether Śukadeva Gosvāmī was the parrot of Rādhārāṇī and what his actual position is. After writing this, Narasingha Mahārāja received a number of death threats from certain quarters, inspiring him to write a follow-up article, ‘Heresy, Inquisition, Jihad, Fatwa and the Hare Kṛṣṇas.’
In the article 'Faith Confirms the Absolute' which is based upon a class by Swami B.G. Narasingha Maharaja given on October 20th 2009 at Rādhā-Dāmodara Temple in Vṛndāvana, he explains the concept of faith (śraddhā) and defines it as that which confirms transcendence.
‘The Definition of Faith’ written by Gaura Gopāla Dāsa gives a clear description of faith, or śraddhā, as delineated by the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava śastra. Is faith an abstract construct of the mind or is it the halo of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī?
