Jantu prayers.

Hare Krishna, Dandavat pranam to all devotees, All glories to Sri Guru & Gauranga, All glories to Srila
Prabhupada. All glories to HG Anand Sagar Prabhu ji & Swayam Sampoorna Prabhuji.

Please forgive me for delaying.

In these very beautiful Jantu prayers, I understand Jiva tatva & Isvara tatva. Srila prabhupada
explained in his purports that some fortunate souls remember the sufferings of this world of 100
past lives, and think I am again come here in the trouble. In 7 th month consciousness develops & he
offers prayers. I am praying to lord to give me relief, I am fearful hope this is my last time. Good
spiritual intelligent & faith taking shelter of lotus feet. Krishna appears in different forms. He under
stand that the lord Krishna has form, he walks in this world. As mentioned in Bhagavad gita

na tv evāhaṁ jātu nāsaṁ


na tvaṁ neme janādhipāḥ
na caiva na bhaviṣyāmaḥ
sarve vayam ataḥ param
Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any
of us cease to be. It shows that the individuality. All the Jivas & Paramatma are individual.

He is remembering supreme personality of godhead. The point is by


doing that he is excluding the persons who are not worthy of taking
shelter.
When he appears, he is not forced to come, he comes by his own will. He is not forced by Karma. He
appears for transcendental purpose to rise the spiritual consciousness. As mentioned in Bhagavad
gita

yadā yadā hi dharmasya


glānir bhavati bhārata
abhyutthānam adharmasya
tadātmānaṁ sṛjāmy aham
paritrāṇāya sādhūnāṁ
vināśāya ca duṣkṛtām
dharma-saṁsthāpanārthāya
sambhavāmi yuge yuge
Lord Krishna appears once in a day of Brahma. He appears to give his own prema. Lord also has
different appearance rasas.

Lord Narayana – Nara means plural of Nar (human) ayan means ultimate shelter. Narayana means,
he who is the ultimate shelter of all humanity at large or all species at large. Lord Narayana dealing
with devotee is like a master dealing with servant, which we can see during the churning of milk
ocean, when Mandhara mountain was sinking all the demigods gone to lord Narayana asked for
help. On request Lord Narayana appear as Lord Kurmadeva. We understand he serves the servant
being a master.

Lord Rama means giving pleasure. He solves the problems of the servant he lets his servant solves
his problem. Examples- Bali Vadha, Bridge construction.

Lord Krishna – He serves his servant by becoming their servant. Examples- Lord Krishna become a
charioteer of Arjuna. How he washes the feet of Sudama.

We can understand the Isvara tatva.

It is further explained that the super soul is always sitting apart from all contamination on the other
hand living entity is contaminated and suffering because of covered with material body. Lord is in
the heart of every living entity. As stated in BG

sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo I am seated in everyone’s heart.

Jiva admitted why he get separated from the supreme lord because of being in this material body
which is made of five elements also metioned in BG

mamaivāṁśo jīva-loke
jīva-bhūtaḥ sanātanaḥ
manaḥ-ṣaṣṭhānīndriyāṇi
prakṛti-sthāni karṣati
The living entities in this conditioned world are My eternal fragmental parts. Due to conditioned
life, they are struggling very hard with the six senses, which include the mind.

On the other hand the supreme lord is never subjected to the influence of material nature. Material
nature is always under his control. Example – Damodar leela.

The root cause of our sufferings & repeated birth is forgetting the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

When Jiva sincerely wants to get rid of from the bondage of birth & death cycle, at that time
Supreme lord gives the knowledge as stated in BG.

sarvasya cāhaṁ hṛdi sanniviṣṭo


mattaḥ smṛtir jñānam apohanaṁ ca
vedaiś ca sarvair aham eva vedyo
vedānta-kṛd veda-vid eva cāham
I am seated in everyone’s heart, and from Me come remembrance, knowledge and forgetfulness.
By all the Vedas, I am to be known. Indeed, I am the compiler of Vedānta, and I am the knower of
the Vedas.

The lord guides us same as a GPS – navigator. Example- If we want to travel to somewhere. GPS
direct us the way to the destination, if we take wrong direction by not follow the GPS path, GPS
again direct us towards the destination it again comes to our choice whether we follow the GPS or
not. Same way Lord guided us to find the spiritual master and spiritual master give us the
knowledge of absolute truth as it mentioned in the Chaitanya Charitamrita

brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva


guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja
"According to their karma, all living entities are wandering throughout the entire universe. Some
of them are being elevated to the upper planetary systems, and some are going down into the
lower planetary systems. Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very
fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bona fide spiritual master by the grace of Kṛṣṇa.
By the mercy of both Kṛṣṇa and the spiritual master, such a person receives the seed of the
creeper of devotional service.

The biggest lesson I learnt is Lord is just one thought away from us.

Hare Krishna please forgive me for any mistakes or my misunderstanding of the Jantu prayers.

Sorry for the delay in posting the realizations.

Hare Krishna
