The Śikṣāṣṭakam Posted: 27 Dec 2011 03:12 PM PST Kadamba Kanana Swami, Mayapur, November 2011) Lecture – Caitanya-caritamrta Part 4 It was Caitanya Mahaprabhu who did not write any books, but He left these eight verses. These eight verses are called the Śikṣāṣṭakam, and He never recited them like we are doing them in the morning. It's not that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu gave all these eight verses in one breath, and here is the Śikṣāṣṭakam like a poem with eight stanzas, and there it is. No, these verses were sporadically spoken…. each one was separate. It was Rupa Goswami who for the first time assembled them in the Padyavali, but not together since they are scattered within the book, with one here and another one there. It was Krishandas Kaviraja Goswami, who for the first time put these eight verses together and allows Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to explain the verses, which is in the last chapter of the Caitanya-caritamrta.

He is the controller and we are his tools Posted: 27 Dec 2011 02:31 PM PST By Sudha Mehta Some few days back, I read a newspaper article on Higgs Boson. Higgs Boson is considered to be the missing puzzle in the jigsaw puzzle of the Big bang theory. Million and billions are spent on discovering the same, and many scientists have discovered this and proving that the Big bang theory is a fact and a mission of their life. Having read about this and related article, I have just compiled a poem. Hope it is in line with regulations of the blog. Here it goes. My name is Mrs Sudha Mehta, and I live in Bosnia with my 8 year old daughter. Physicists hunt for Higgs Boson To prove that universe was created with smashing of photon They say smashing and bang happened for no reason And matter turned into mass and spirit without reason Life cannot spring out of matter Even a child knows this better Can inanimate particles collide and make life? How silly to spends billions behind this obstinate rife Just accept with humility that the creator has a purpose for creating one and all How can the universe run systematically without control? He is the controller and we are his tool Let's try to understand his hidden message and not be a fool As man tries desperately to load over the nature His illusion deepens and he is lost forever Higgs boson is sending all on wild goose chase Oh Krsna! How to save this human race
