Moksada Ekadasi

Zelo poseben Ekadasi, Gospod Krišna je izgovoril Bhagavad gito. Nič posebnega bi rekli nevedni ljudje. Tisti, ki se zavedajo duhovne moči Bhagavad gite pa se potrudijo, da bi dan posvetili meditaciji na ta sveti spis. Skupaj z ženo in mamo smo se zato odločili narediti malce strogosti. Jaz sem imel kot vedno na Ekadaši malce poglobljeno čaščenje svojih Božanstev, tako da se je vse zavleklo preko 3 ure in smo po mantranju začeli šele ob 13 uri z recitiranjem. Recitirali smo samo sankrit verze. Meni je bilo malce lažje, ker sem se kar veliko verzov že od prej približno poznal in kar nekaj vedel na pamet. Molitev bhakt na take dni bi morala biti podobna Prahlada Maharajevi.

"Oddajam spoštovanje Gospodu Narasimhadevu, ki je izvor vseh moči. O Gospod, ki poseduješ nohte in zobe kot grom, prosim uniči naše demonske želje za plodonosne aktivnosti v tem materijalnem svetu. Prosim, pojavi se v naših srcih in preženi vse neznanje, tako da bomo po tvoji milosti lahko postali neustrašni v našem naporu materijalne eksistence.

" (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 5.18.8)

"Naj bo tu vsepovoljna sreča po celem univerzumu, naj bodo vse zavistne osebe pomirjene. Naj vsa živa bitja postanejo krotka z prakticiranjem bhakti yoge, ker z sprejetjem vdanega služenja, bodo mislili o blagostanju drugih. Zatorej naj se vključimo v služenje Vsevišnje Transcendence Gospoda Krišne in vedno ostanemo absorbirani v mislih Nanj.

Moji prijatelji iz Slovaške Lalita Gopi in njen mož Gopala Priya Prabhu sta recitirala celo Bhagavad gito skupaj z verzi. Prav tako sem prebral, da Gargamuni Pr. je naredil tako veliko strogost, namreč slovenski prevod in sankrit. Hmm, meni je bil sankrit že dovolj naporen.

Very special Ekadasi, Lord Krishna has spoken Bhagavad gita.Nothing special will say ignorant people. But those who are aware of the spiritual potency of Bhagavad gita are trying to endeavor to perform some austerity to meditate upon this Holy script. Together with my wife and mother we decided to make some austerity. I had little expanded worship of my Deities. Then after some chanting we started to recite around 1pm. It was a bit easier for me because because quite some verses were familiar to me, and even some I knew by memory. The prayer on this days should be similar to Prahlada Maharaja's.

"I offer my respectful obeisances unto Lord Nrisimhadeva, the source of all power. O my Lord who possesses nails and teeth just like thunderbolts, kindly vanquish our demon-like desires for fruitive activity in this material world.

Please appear in our hearts and drive away our ignorance so that by Your mercy we may become fearless in the struggle for existence in this material world." (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 5.18.8)

"May there be good fortune throughout the universe, and may all envious persons be pacified. May all living entities become calm by practicing bhakti-yoga, for by accepting devotional service they will think of each other's welfare.

Therefore, let us all engage in the service of the supreme transcendence, Lord Sri Krishna, and always remain absorbed in thought of Him." (Srimad-Bhagavatam, 5.18.9)

My friends from Slovakia, Lalita Gopi and her husband Gopala Priya did all recitation with sanskrit and slovak translation. I read also that Gargamuni Prabhu did also the same great austerity. Namely reciting of slovene translation and sanskrit. For me to recite sankrit alone was austerity enough.
