Namaste. I hope this message finds you in good health and scholarly engagement.
It is our pleasure to warmly invite you to a special Zoom lecture by Śrīla Bhakti Niṣkama Śānta Mahārāja, Ph.D., on the profound verse Ś𝘳ī 𝘊𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘢-𝘉𝘩ā𝘨𝘢𝘷𝘢𝘵𝘢 1.1.3, which reveals the theological core of Śrī Caitanya and Śrī Nityānanda as eternal Supreme Lords manifesting in dual merciful forms:
𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐭ī𝐫ṇ𝐚𝐮 𝐬𝐚-𝐤ā𝐫𝐮ṇ𝐲𝐚𝐮 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐚𝐮 𝐬𝐚𝐝-īś𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐮
ś𝐫ī 𝐤ṛṣṇ𝐚-𝐜𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐲𝐚-𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲ā𝐧𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐮 𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐮 𝐛𝐡𝐫ā𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐮 𝐛𝐡𝐚𝐣𝐞
Dr. Śānta Mahārāja will explore the philosophical depth of this verse within the framework of Gauḍīya Vedānta, addressing topics such as:
– Dual-aspect monotheism in Gauḍīya theology
– The unique ontology of divine form (paricchinna yet sad-īśvara)
– The compassionate descent of the Absolute
– Bhakti as the soul’s real engagement in light of sambandha, abhidheya, and prayojana
– Refutations of both Māyāvāda and scientific reductionism through the lens of Śrī Caitanya-līlā
