All glories to Śrī Guru and Śrī Gaurāṅga.
A humble request
Chant the holy name of Śrī Hari! Chant the holy name of Śrī Hari! Chant the holy name of Śrī Hari!
Loving devotees,
Please accept the sāṣtāṅga–daṇḍavata pranāmas (prostrated obeisances; falling on the ground like a stick) of this Aniruddha Dāsa, who is the most fallen of human beings, lower than the lowest, and servant of all the servants of the Lord. I am greatly happy to present the second revised edition of the first and second parts of “Obtaining God in This Very Lifetime”. I give honor to all of you on this auspicious occasion.
The book series “Obtaining God in This Very Lifetime” contains nectar in the form of the transcendental instructions of my revered spiritual master Nitya-līlā Praviṣṭa Oṁ Viṣṇupāda Aṣṭottara-śata Śrī Śrīmad Bhakti-dayita Mādhava Gosvāmī Mahārāja. Anyone who reads these books and chants one hundred thousand holy names daily will obtain the lotus feet of Bhagavān in this very lifetime – this is an eternal truth.
The names, form, pastimes, and abode of the Supreme Lord are beyond the material nature. Śrī Bhagavān and His names, form, qualities, and pastimes are completely non- different. Bhagavān Himself, in the form of His name and beautiful transcendental body, has appeared out of His causeless mercy to deliver the living entities. The fortunate living entity takes instruction and initiation in the holy name from a bona fide spiritual master, the preacher of the holy name of Lord Hari.
Thus, that living entity becomes successful by taking shelter of congregational chanting and by remembering Bhagavān’s holy names. Such focusing of the ears and mind on the holy name is the prescribed spiritual activity in Kali-yuga. Moreover, by engaging in loud congregational chanting of the holy names, the jīvas (living entities) make progress in the process of
surrender to the Lord. The Lord of our life, Bhagavān Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, appeared on this Earth in order to preach chanting of the pure holy name of Lord Kṛṣṇa in this world. His constant instruction was to chant one hundred thousand holy names of Lord Hari daily, and that this could be achieved by concentrating the ears and mind in congregational chanting of the holy name in the company of devotees. Bhagavān Śrī Gaurahari provided this auspicious means for those who desire to be relieved from the severe distress of transmigrating through all of the bodily species in this material world.
Being inspired by the mercy of Bhagavān, devotees have had the good fortune of drinking the nectar of the holy name and helping other living entities to do so also. If any fortunate, pious living entity remains free from offenses and from the desire for name, fame, adoration, and prestige, and chants four rounds of Śrī Hari-nāma
(Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare)
with focused mind and ears, he will certainly get the auspicious opportunity to surrender to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and the fire of separation from Him will be ignited. As a result, all of the bad qualities in his heart will be burnt to ashes, and good qualities will manifest. Any pious person can try this process and experience the results. What need is there for evidence for something so obvious?
If anyone concentrates his mind and ears, and chants one to four rounds of the holy name of Lord Hari (Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra), the unlimited mercy of Bhagavān will shower upon him. If a devotee becomes free from offenses and the desire for prestige, and chants the holy name of Lord Hari, I guarantee that his fire of separation from the Lord will manifest. He will easily be able to surrender to the Supreme Lord; this surrender alone is the very life of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā. Bhagavān cannot abandon a surrendered devotee for even a moment. Just as a mother holds a baby to her bosom, Bhagavān keeps His surrendered devotee affixed to His heart.
Lord Śiva repeats the heartfelt words of Bhagavān Śrī Rāma:
jo sabhīta āyā śaraṇāī tāko rākhūṁ prāṇa kī nāīṁ
“If anyone surrenders to Me out of fear of the material world, I protect him as I would protect My own life.”
Since these books exclusively describe the glories of śrī hari-nāma, one will automatically be drenched in a shower of Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s mercy by distributing them free of charge. Anyone can experience this fact. Everyone has the right to print these books in any language of the world; however, if anyone sells these books after printing them, he will commit a grave offense and have to suffer in the raurava hell – my spiritual master has given this warning.
Therefore, it is my request with folded hands to all devotees to preach the nectarean instructions of my spiritual master to the greatest possible extent.
Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare.
Everyone should certainly chant at least sixty-four rounds, or one hundred thousand holy names of this mahā-mantra, daily. I shall consider my endeavor successful if even one person becomes engaged in devotional service after reading this book.
