Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja FOR THE DISAPPEARANCE DAY OF SRILA BHAKTIVINODA THAKURAVienna, Austria: September 19, 2002 [This lecture was delivered by Paramapujyapada Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Maharaja on the Appearance Day of Sri Saccidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura, at the Sri Krsna Chaitanya Mission in Vienna, founded by Prapujyacarana Sri Srimad Bhakti Vaibhava Puri Maharaja. Srila Narayana Maharaja and the 150 devotees in attendance were extremely pleased by the exceptional degree of hospitality exhibited by the devotees from this matha. Srila Maharaja remarked that these excellent displays of Vaisnava etiquette, and the beautiful, well-organized facility, are ideal examples for all Vaisnava preaching centers. In this lecture, Srila Maharaja tells about the life and character of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura, and explains the essence of the teachings in the Thakura's writings:] I offer millions of dandavat pranamas unto the lotus feet of my Gurudeva,Nitya-lila-pravista Om Visnupada Sri Srimad Bhakti Prajnana Kesava GosvamiMaharaja. My dandavats to Paramapujyapada Prapujyacarana Om VisnupadaSri Srimad Bhakti Vaibhava Puri Maharaja, and to our guru parampara. Today we are observing the auspicious Appearance Day of Srila Saccidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura. He is considered to be the Saptama (seventh) Gosvami, and he has written more than one hundred very authorized books in many languages. He has especially given us two very important gifts. He discovered the birthplace of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and he gave us Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada. I want to tell you about an extraordinary kirtana that he wrote and sang; Harinama Tuwa, Aneka Swarupa (O Harinama, You Possess Unlimited Forms). Perhaps we have no idea of the very deep meaning of this kirtana. The analogy is given of a mango seed; we don't see that within the mango seed there is a tree, full with branches, leaves and fruits. The entire tree exists within that seed. If you plant that seed in the earth and water it properly, a very beautiful tree will gradually grow from it. A large tree with many branches, leaves, beautiful sweet fruits, and manjaris, will emerge. Cuckoo birds may sit on the branches and sing;
