This is a song sung by Bhaktivinoda Thakura. He's asking everyone to rise early in the morning. Vibhavari sesa, the night is over, aloka-pravesa, the glimpses of sunlight are there, now you get up. Nidra chari utha jiva, don't sleep any more. That is the Vedic life. One should

not sleep after sunrise. He must rise before sunrise. That is healthy life also. So just instantly after rising from the bed, one should chant the holy names of the Lord. Here it is suggested, bolo hari hari,now you chant Hare Krsna mantra, mukunda murari, Krsna's different names

Mukunda means one who gives liberation. Murari, murari means Krsna the enemy of the demon of the name Mura. Rama is another name, celebrated, Rama, Krsna. Hayagriva, Hayagriva is another incarnation of Krsna. Similarly Nrsimha, Nara-hari, half-lion, half-man, Nrsimhadeva. Vamana

incarnation, nrsimha vamana, sri-madhusudana. Madhusudana, there was a demon Madhu, and Kaitabha, they came to swallow up Brahma after his creation, so they were killed. Therefore Krsna's another name is Madhusudana. Madhusudana name is found in Bhagavad-gita in various places.

Madhusudana means the enemy of Madhu. Krsna is both friend and enemy. He is actually friend of everyone, but He becomes enemy-like for one who treats Krsna as enemy. He is nobody's enemy, but if anyone wants to see Him as enemy, He appears like enemy. That is the absolute.

The demons, they want to see Krsna as enemy, so accepting the desire of the demons, He appears before him as enemy, kills him, and gives him liberation. That is absolute pastime of Krsna, madhusudana brajendra-nandana syama. Actually God has no name, but His names are selected

according to His pastime. Just like this Madhusudana name is given to Him because He killed the Madhu demon.

Similarly, He is known as brajendra-nandana, the son of vraja, vrndavana, because He appeared as the son of Yasoda and Nanda Maharaja,

Now Tukoba had come to a firm conclusion that the only way to liberation was ShriHari namasmarana (नामस्मरण, continuously chanting the holy name of ShriHari). His fame had spread far and wide, however, he was neither bothered nor aware of it.

A brahmin from a distant place

came to meet Tukoba.

Although, he had studied scriptures in details, he had not got Self Realization and therefore, he was not contented.

He had brought a treatise namely, Vivek Sindhu (विवेकसिंधु ) written by मुकुंदराज (around 1128 – 1200 CE, who was the follower of

Adi Shankaracharya’s Advaita philosophy and is considered to be the first poet in Marathi literature).

He said to Tukoba, “Maharaj, I have read this treatise over and over again, but still I have not got Self Realization.

Could you please explain the meaning of this treatise

There used to be a Baba (saintly person) in Mathura who performed arcana of his shalagrama-shila with great love.

He did not have complete knowledge of the various limbs of arcana, but whatever arcana he performed, he did with love.

He had taken a vow to bathe in Yamuna every

day during brahma-muhurta, and to worship his shalagrama with Yamuna water only.

Once, on the amavasya (new-moon day) in the month of Mägha, the cold winter month from mid-January to mid-February, it rained the entire night and a heavy cold wind blew.

On that pitch-dark morning he had no idea of the time because no stars were visible in the sky.

He woke long before the brahma-muhurta hour and set out to take his bath.

Although Yamunas waters were as cold as ice and he was shivering due to the extreme cold, he nevertheless

Have you noticed how Google Maps never yells, condemns, or castigates you if you miss a turn?

It never raises its voice and says, “You were supposed to turn left, you idiot! Now you’re going to have to take the longer route and it’s going to cost you more time and gas, and

you’re going to be late for your meeting!

If it did that, chances are, you might stop using it, however, it simply re-routes and shows you the next best way to your destination.

Its primary interest is in getting you to reach your goal, and not in making you feel bad for

making a mistake.

There’s a great lesson here - It’s tempting to unload our frustration and anger on those who might have made a mistake, especially those we are close to. However, the wisest choice is to help fix the problem, and not play the blame game.

( Please read this story – it can save you from lot of troubles! )

Once there was a king who distributed food to the brahmanas.

One day, as he was giving out food to the priests, an eagle flew above holding a dead snake in his claws. Out of the mouth of the dead snake fell a

drop of poison into the food that the king was distributing.

No one knew or saw that this had happened, so the king continued distributing the food.

The Brahmin who accidentally got the poisoned food from king died, and the king was feeling very said about it.

One of the servants of Yamaraj (the god of death) who has the service to distribute karma to the living beings has a problem. When this incident with the king and the poisoned food happened, however, he did not know who to give the karma to.

After all, it was not the eagle’s

Once a Devotee invited his friend for lunch.

He served him prasadam nicely and later inquired him about his devotional service.

The friend got angry and said, What are you talking about ? What devotional service ? I dont even have any faith on God.

After hearing this from his

friend, the Vaishnava was stunned.

He started lamenting in front of deity that he had made a blunder by inviting an atheist for prasadam.

Then the Lord appeared before him and said – “Why are you lamenting for giving prasadam to just one atheist. Look at Me, for ages I have

been feeding unlimited atheists of this world. Then how much lamentation will I have. Still I take care of every body like a father.

Moral of the story:

In Bhagavad Gita 9.29 Supreme Father Lord Krishna states,

samo ‘ham sarva-bhutesu / na me dvesyo ‘sti na priyah
