Today is Sri Vrindavan das thakur appearance day
☀️ Srila Vrindavan Das Thakur was born on the Krishna-Dwadashi tithi in the month of Vaisakha (April/May) , around the year 1507 AD at Mamgachi, situated in the island of Modadrumadvipa (Navadvipa) .
❇️ Sri Kavi Karnapura reveals in his Gaura Ganoddeha Dipika that Srila Vedavyasa incarnated as Vrindavan Das Thakur in Lord Caitanya’s pastimes. Krishna’s friend Kusumapida also entered into him for special purposes.
❇️ Vrindavan Das is the recipient of Nityananda’s blessings. Also he was son of Narayani ,special kripa patr of Mahaprabhu.
❇️ The Vedavyasa for Sri Caitanya was Vrindavana Dasa. He has summarized the essence of the teachings of the Srimad Bhagavatam in his Chaitanya Bhagvat.
❇️ Whoever hears his book no grave misfortunes shall befall. Who reads it knows the glories of Caitanya and Nitai. His book contains the essence of the holy Bhagavata. And shows what Krishna-Bhakti is and what Bhakti is not.
❇️ An atheist who hears the Thakura’s words will soon relent. And join the ranks of saintly men whose souls are heaven sent.
❇️🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️ I bow a million times before the holy lotus feet of Sri Vrindavan das, whose verses are so sweet that one who reads them shall be freed from this dark, mortal earth; I bow a million times before the place where he took birth.
❇️Anyone who follows in the footsteps of Vrindavan Das, the incarnation of Vyasa, and both practices and preaches the Vaishnava religion is always engaged in an effort to bring about the ultimate well-being of everyone.
Vrindavan Das, the incarnation of Vyasa and acharya of the Vaishnava faith.
How❓
❇️Vrindavan Das Thakur demonstrated infinite mercy on the fallen souls by warning them:
eta parihare-o je papi ninda kare
tabe lathi maron tar shirera upare.
❇️I am ready to kick the heads of those envious and hellish persons who blaspheme Nityananda Prabhu, if by so doing I will be able to forever prevent them from repeating their attempts to show disrespect for the Supreme Lord. Not only that, but if by so doing I can bring about a slear conception of the truth, I will be performing them the greatest service.
Such is the exalted character of great Vaishnavas.🙇🏻♀️🙇🏻♀️
❇️Vrindavan Das Thakura took initiation from Lord Nityananda at 16 years of age and went travelling and preaching with Him. When they were in Denur, in the district of Burdwan, Lord Nityananda told him to stay and preach there and so he never personally saw Lord Caitanya
❇️Lord Nityananda prabhu ordered his disciple Vrindavan das Thakur to write the life story of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu. So, he took that order as his very life and soul.
🙏🏽🙏🏽 May we also cultivate same mood and take orders and instructions of spiritual master as our lifeline.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽O most exalted devotee, please help me to overcome my material attachments and to always remember the lotus feet of Lord Krishna. Please guide me on the path of devotional service and bestow upon me the mercy of Lord Chaitanya and Lord Nityananda.
