A Tribute to Kaviraja’s Poetry and Shrila Prabhupada

Each verse of Caitanya Caritamrita is an exquisite poetry. The eloquent manner in which Kaviraja Goswami narrates the expanse of Mahaprabhu’s and Panca Tattva’s grace is worth reading. If reading can give so much joy, how much will experiencing give? And furthermore, how beautiful are the purports given by Shrila Prabhupada! Sitting in the Jaladuta Cargo ship, he was feeling separation from Madan Mohan and Gopinath. But, the text of Sri Caitanya Caritamrita was granting him solace.

A Tribute to Kaviraja’s Poetry

Krishnadas Kaviraja Goswami is an all-time genius. He was not only a great scholar, but also a great devotee of Lord Caitanya. In an indirect manner, Kaviraja Goswami has glorified Shrila Prabhupada by mentioning the expanse of Lord Caitanya’s influence. After all, how can a devotee not know another devotee?

The Sweet Surrender

In spirituality, surrender (saranagati) is not about fear or loss, but it is an elevated expression of love. Shrila Prabhupada’s life exemplifies this sweet surrender, where giving our very best opens the door to divine grace and inner fulfillment.
