Dear Prabhujis and Mathajis,

Hare Krishna.

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada and Srila Gurudev.

As the Lord is unlimited and His pastimes are unlimited..., His devotees are also unlimited and their activities are also unlimited.

Continuing with Srila Narada Muni's glories, i am trying to quote important points from one of the most awesome chapter in the 6th canto of Srimad Bhagavatam. This chapter (6.5)is titled, "Narada Muni cursed by Prajapati Daksha". This is an amazing chapter revealing one of the most powerful quality of Narada Muni as a Vaishnava.

[Summary of the chapter in brief: Daksha, being ordered by Lord Brahma, procreates thousands of children (Haryasvas) and advices them to procreate and increase the population. When the Haryasvas go to Himalayas to meditate on the advice of their father, Narada Muni advices them to perform devotional service and not engage in material activities like procreation. On seeing that all his ten-thousand sons were delivered by Narada muni, Daksha becomes angry and begets one thousand more sons and instructs them to procreate. But these sons also become devotees on the advice of Narada Muni. On seeing this, Daksha becomes very angry and curses Narada Muni.]

SB 6.5.22

svara-brahmani nirbhata-
hrsikesa-padambuje
akhandam cittam avesya
lokan anucaran munih

"The seven musical notes--sa, r, ga, ma, pa, dha and ni--are used in musical instruments, but originally they come from the Sama Veda. The great sage Narada vibrates sounds describing the pastimes of the Supreme Lord. By such transcendental vibrations, such as Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare, he fixes his mind at the lotus feet of the Lord. Thus he directly perceives Hrsikesa, the master of the senses. After delivering the Haryasvas, Narada Muni continued traveling throughout the planetary systems, his mind always fixed at the lotus feet of the Lord."

PURPORT
The goodness of the great sage Narada Muni is described herewith. He always chants about the pastimes of the Lord and delivers the fallen souls back to Godhead. In this regard, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has sung:

narada-muni, bajaya vina-,
`radhika-ramana'-name
nama amani, udita haya,
bhakata-gita-same
amiya-dhara, varise ghana,
sravana-yugale giya
bhakata jana, saghane nace,
bhariya apana hiya
madhuri-pura, asaba pasi',
mataya jagata jane
keha va kande, keha va nace,
keha mate mane mane
panca-vadana, narade dhari',
premera saghana rola
kamalasana, naciya bale,
`boa bola hari bola'
sahasranana, parama-sukhe,
`hari hari' bali' gaya
nama-prabhave, matila visva,
nama-rasa sabe paya
sri-krsna-nama, rasane sphuri',
pura'la amara asa
sri-rupa-pade, yacaye iha,
bhakativinoda dasa

The purport of this song is that Narada Muni, the great soul, plays a stringed instrument called a vina, vibrating the sound radhika-ramana, which is another name for Krsna. As soon as he strokes the strings, all the devotees begin responding, making a very beautiful vibration. Accompanied by the stringed instrument, the singing seems like a shower of nectar, and all the devotees dance in ecstasy to the fullest extent of their satisfaction. While dancing, they appear madly intoxicated with ecstasy, as if drinking the beverage called madhuri-pura. Some of them cry, some of them dance, and some of them, although unable to dance publicly, dance within their hearts. Lord Siva embraces Narada Muni and begins talking in an ecstatic voice, and seeing Lord Siva dancing with Narada, Lord Brahma also joins, saying, "All of you kindly chant `Hari bol! Hari bol!' " The King of heaven, Indra, also gradually joins with great satisfaction and begins dancing and chanting "Hari bol! Hari bol!" In this way, by the influence of the transcendental vibration of the holy name of God, the whole universe becomes ecstatic. Bhaktivinoda Thakura says, "When the universe becomes ecstatic, my desire is satisfied. I therefore pray unto the lotus feet of Rupa Gosvami that this chanting of harer nama may go on nicely like this."
Lord Brahma is the guru of Narada Muni, who is the guru of Vyasadeva, and Vyasadeva is the guru of Madhvacarya. Thus the Gaudiya-Madhva-sampradaya is in the disciplic succession from Narada Muni. The members of this disciplic succession--in other words, the members of the Krsna consciousness movement--should follow in the footsteps of Narada Muni by chanting the transcendental vibration Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. They should go everywhere to deliver the fallen souls by vibrating the Hare Krsna mantra and the instructions of Bhagavad-gita, Srimad-Bhagavatam and Caitanya-caritamrta. That will please the Supreme Personality of Godhead. One can spiritually advance if one actually follows the instructions of Narada Muni. If one pleases Narada Muni, then the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Hrsikesa, is also pleased (yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasadah). The immediate spiritual master is the representative of Narada Muni; there is no difference between the instructions of Narada Muni and those of the present spiritual master. Both Narada Muni and the present spiritual master speak the same teachings of Krsna, who says in Bhagavad-gita (18.65-66):
man-mana bhava mad-bhakto
mad-yaji mam namaskuru
mam evaisyasi satyam te
pratijane priyo'si me
sarva-dharman parityajya
mam ekam saranam vraja
aham tvam sarva-papebhyo
moksayisyami ma sucah
"Always think of Me and become My devotee. Worship Me and offer your homage unto Me. Thus you will come to Me without fail. I promise you this because you are My very dear friend. Abandon all varieties of religion and just surrender unto Me. I shall deliver you from all sinful reaction. Do not fear."

Yours in service of Srila Prabhupada

                      GLORIFICATION OF THE HOLYNAME:
In Sanskrit 'MAN' means The Mind and 'TRA' means to RELIEVE. Mantra means to relieve the mind from MUNDANE thoughts and activities.
The easiest way to control MIND is to chant MAHAMANTRA in all humility.
{BG.6.34 (PP. 343-44)}
Chanting the maha mantra frees one from the miseries of birth, death, old age
N disease {CC.ADI:2, P.236}

                             PANCTTAVA MANTRA:

       SRI KRISHNA CHAITANYA PRABHU NITYANANDA SRI-ADWAITA GADADHARA

                      SRIVASADI-GAURA-BHAKTA-VRINDA

                                MAHA MANTRA:

                          HARE KRISHNA HARE KRISHNA

                          KRISHNA KRISHNA HARE HARE

                              HARE RAMA HARE RAMA

                              RAMA RAMA HARE HARE

CHANTING SHOULD BE ATLEAST LOUD ENOUGH THAT A PERSON NEXT TO THE
CHANTER CAN HEAR IT.CHANTING IS SIMPLE BUT SHOULD BE PERFORMED PROPERLY FOR BEST RESULTS.CHANTING MINIMUM 16 ROUNDS EVERYDAY WOULD KEEP YOUR
SOUL FREE FROM MATERIAL CONTAMINATION AND IT IS ESSENTIAL FOR CLEANSING MIND AND HEART SO THAT ONE CAN BECOME SOBER,UNDERSTAND HIS HIGHER DUTY AND UNDERSTAND THE SUPREME LORD.
