THe best historian....Vaishnava historian :)

as i live in a place where devotees are rare to be found
i receive the mercy of the Lord to associate through this medium
and i found the best storyteller in the world
a vaishnava historian to be formal
one prabhu that inspires me
one who gives access to
the holiest of  books
of the Vaishnava Saints
in service of his Guru
Srila Prabhupada
i offer my respects to
prabhu Chaturatma Das
may he get the eternal shelter of the lotus feet
of  Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda

you can see his videos in
where he tells in the form of stories the lives of the great Vaishnava Acharyas such as Narottam Das Thakur, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati, the Six Goswamis of Vrindavan, etc

The Divine Couple will capture your heart :)

KIRTANIYAH SADA HARI


 Constantly engage in chanting the names of Sri Hari


govinda jaya jaya, gopala jaya jaya
Radha-Ramana hari, govinda jaya jaya

"The process is how to think of Krsna. Man-mana bhava mad-bhaktah. This is meditation. So this... By kirtana it becomes very easy. If you chant Hare Krsna maha-mantra twenty-four hours like Haridasa Thakura... That is not possible. So as much as possible... Tirtha-yasasa. Kirtana, this is also kirtana. We are talking about Krsna, reading about Krsna, reading Krsna's instruction in the Bhagavad-gita or reading Krsna's glories in the Srimad-Bhagavatam. They are all kirtana. It is not that simply when we sing with musical instruments, that is kirtana. No. Anything you talk about Krsna, that is kirtan."
~ from Srila Prabhupada's lecture on Srimad Bhagavatam 3.28.18 on October 27, 1975 in Nairobi

Srila Prabhupada ~ " Simply our prayer should be, My dear Krishna, please remind me to always chant Your Holy Name, please do not put me into forgetfulness. You are sitting within me as Supersoul, so you can put me into forgetfulness or into remembering You. So please do not put me into forgetfulness. Please always remind me to chant, even You send me into the hell, it doesn't matter, just so long as I can always chant Hare Krishna..."
