Japa and Prayer School – June 17, 2023

Śrīla Dhanurdhara Swami continues his Japa and Prayer School classes.

In today's class:

Padyāvalī, verse 23

brahmāṇḍānāṁ koṭi-saṅkhyādhikānām

aiśvaryaṁ yac cetanā vā yad aṁśaḥ

āvirbhūtaṁ tan-mahaḥ kṛṣṇa-nāma

tan me sādhyaṁ sādhanaṁ jīvanaṁ ca

TRANSLATION

There are countless millions of universes and whatever glories they possess, whatever consciousness they possess, are all manifestations of a mere portion of the effulgence of the holy name of Krishna. This holy name is my spiritual practice; it is the goal of my spiritual practice. It is my life.
