Narottama das Thakura sings,
hari hari biphale janama gonainu
manusya-janama paiya, radha-krsna na bhajiya
janiya suniya bisa khainu
So we should always remember this song of Narottama dasa Thakura. He is acarya. He’s guru. Acaryopasanam. Acarya upasana is one of the process of making progress. So this song is very important.
hari hari biphale janama gonainu
manusya-janama paiya, radha-krsna na bhajiya
janiya suniya bisa khainu
In the material world everyone is suffering. There is no exception, either rich man or poor man, learned or fool — everyone. This is the place for suffering. And if we take this place of suffering as comfortable, that is our ignorance. Therefore Narottama dasa Thakura sings,
bisaya bisanale diba-nisi hiya jwale taribare na koinu upay
golokera prema-dhana hari-nama sankirtana rati na janmilo kene tay
Narottama dasa Thakura says that we should take advantage of Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s and Nityananda Prabhu’s presence. Papi tapi jata chilo hariname uddharilo tara saksi jagai and madhai, brajendra-nandana jei saci-suta hoilo sei balarama hoilo nitai, that “Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Krsna. Formerly He was Brajendra-nandana.” Brajendra-nandana. Brajendra is Maharaja…, Nanda Maharaja. And He accepted father — Nanda Maharaja. Nanda-nandana.
“Same Nanda-nandana has now become Saci-nandana.” Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s mother’s name is Sacidevi. So brajendra-nandana jei saci-suta hoilo sei:
“Who was formerly Brajendra-nandana, He has now become Saci-nandana. And formerly who was Balarama, He has become Nitai.”
Brajendra-nandana hei saci-suta hoilo sei balarama hoilo nitai. So why They have come again? Now, papi tapi yata chilo hariname uddharilo:
“They have come to deliver all kinds of sinful men, suffering humanity, just allowing to chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra.” Papi tapi jata chilo, hariname uddharilo. So what is the evidence how papi tapi were delivered? Tara saksi jagai and madhai.
