Antya 11: The Passing of Haridasa Thakura
Chapter 11:
The Passing of Haridasa Thakura
The summary of this chapter is given by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in
his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya as follows. In this chapter it is described how
Brahma Haridasa Thakura gave up his body with the consent of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and how the Lord Himself personally performed the
funeral ceremony and carried the body to the sea. He personally entombed
the body, covered it with sand and erected a platform on the site. After
taking a bath in the sea, He personally begged prasadam of Jagannatha
from shopkeepers and distributed prasadam to the assembled devotees.

SYNONYMS
eta bali' -- saying this; maha-prasada -- to the maha-prasadam; karila
vandana -- he offered respect; eka ranca -- one fractional part; lana --
taking; tara karila bhaksana -- ate it.
TRANSLATION
Saying this, he offered prayers to the maha-prasadam, took a little
portion, and ate it.
PURPORT
Maha-prasadam is nondifferent from Krsna. Therefore, instead of eating
maha-prasadam, one should honor it. It is said here, karila vandana, "he
offered prayers." When taking maha-prasadam, one should not consider the
food ordinary preparations. Prasada means favor. One should consider
maha-prasadam a favor of Krsna. As stated by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura,
krsna bada dayamaya karibare jihva jaya svaprasada-anna dila bhai. Krsna
is very kind. In this material world we are all very much attached to
tasting various types of food. Therefore, Krsna eats many nice varieties
of food and offers the food back to the devotees, so that not only are
one's demands for various tastes satisfied, but by eating prasadam one
makes advancement in spiritual life. Therefore, we should never consider
ordinary food on an equal level with maha-prasadam.

kaha ta' nirnaya -- can you ascertain; tenho kahe -- he said; sankhya-

TRANSLATION
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu further inquired from Haridasa, "Can you
ascertain what your disease is?"
Haridasa Thakura replied, "My disease is that I cannot complete my
rounds."
PURPORT
If one cannot complete the fixed number of rounds he is assigned, he
should be considered to be in a diseased condition of spiritual life.
Srila Haridasa Thakura is called namacarya. Of course, we cannot imitate
Haridasa Thakura, but everyone must chant a prescribed number of rounds.
In our Krsna consciousness movement we have fixed sixteen rounds as the
minimum so that the Westerners will not feel burdened. These sixteen
rounds must be chanted, and chanted loudly, so that one can hear himself
and others.

prabhu kahe, -- "vrddha ha-ila ‘sankhya' alpa kara

SYNONYMS
prabhu kahe -- Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said; vrddha ha-ila -- you
have become old; sankhya alpa kara -- reduce your number; siddha-deha
tumi -- you are already liberated; sadhane -- in the regulative
principles; agraha kene kara -- why are you eager.
TRANSLATION
"Now that you have become old," the Lord said, "you may reduce the
number of rounds you chant daily. You are already liberated, and
therefore you need not follow the regulative principles very strictly.
PURPORT
Unless one has come to the platform of spontaneous love of God, he must
follow the regulative principles. Thakura Haridasa was the living
example of how to follow the regulative principles. Similarly,
Raghunatha dasa Gosvami was also such a living example. In the Sad-
gosvamy-astaka it is stated, sankhya-purvaka-nama-gana-natibhih
kalavasani-krtau. The Gosvamis, especially Raghunatha dasa Gosvami,
strictly followed all the regulative principles. The first regulative
principle is that one must chant the Hare Krsna maha-mantra loudly
enough so that he can hear himself, and one must vow to chant a fixed
number of rounds. Not only was Raghunatha dasa Gosvami chanting a fixed
number of rounds, but he had also taken a vow to bow down many times and
offer obeisances to the Lord.

loka nistarite ei tomara ‘avatara'

SYNONYMS
loka nistarite -- to deliver the people in general; ei -- this; tomara
avatara -- your incarnation; namera mahima -- the glories of the holy
name; loke -- in this world; karila pracara -- you have preached.
TRANSLATION
"Your role in this incarnation is to deliver the people in general. You
have sufficiently preached the glories of the holy name in this world."
PURPORT
Haridasa Thakura is known as namacarya because it is he who preached the
glories of chanting hari-nama, the holy name of God. By using the words
tomara avatara ("your incarnation"), Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu confirms
that Haridasa Thakura is the incarnation of Lord Brahma. Srila
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura says that advanced devotees help the
Supreme Personality of Godhead in His mission and that such devotees or
personal associates incarnate by the will of the Supreme Lord. The
Supreme Lord incarnates by His own will, and, by His will, competent
devotees also incarnate to help Him in His mission. Haridasa Thakura is
thus the incarnation of Lord Brahma, and other devotees are likewise
incarnations who help in the prosecution of the Lord's mission.

TRANSLATION
"My dear Lord, by Your mercy You have made me dance in many ways. For
example, I was offered the sraddha-patra, which should have been offered
to first-class brahmanas. I ate from it even though I was born in a
family of meat-eaters.
PURPORT
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, in his Anubhasya, quotes from
the Visnu-smrti in reference to the sraddha-patra.
brahmanapasada hy ete kathitah pankti-dusakah
etan vivarjayed yatnat sraddha-karmani panditah
According to this verse, if one is born in a brahmana family but does
not behave according to brahminical standards, he should not be offered
the sraddha-patra, which is prasadam offered to the forefathers. Advaita
Acarya offered the sraddha-patra to Haridasa Thakura, not to a brahmana
who had been born in a brahmana family. Although Haridasa Thakura was
born in the family of meat-eaters, because he was an advanced devotee he
was shown more respect than a first-class brahmana.

PURPORT
At Purusottama-ksetra, or Jagannatha Puri, there is a temple of Tota-
gopinatha. If one goes from there to the sea, he can discover the tomb
of Haridasa Thakura still existing. Every year on the date of Ananta-
caturdasi there is a festival to commemorate the passing away of
Haridasa Thakura. At the same place, Deities of Nityananda Prabhu, Krsna
Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Advaita Prabhu were established about one
hundred years ago. A gentleman named Bhramaravara from Kendrapada, in
the province of Orissa, contributed funds to establish these Deities in
the temple. The management of the temple was under the Tota-gopinatha
gosvamis.
This temple was later sold to someone else, and this party is now
maintaining the seva-puja of the temple. Near this temple and the tomb
of Haridasa Thakura, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura constructed a small
house called the Bhakti-kuti. In the Bengali year 1329 (A.D. 1922), the
Purusottama-matha, a branch of the Gaudiya Matha, was established there.
In the Bhakti-ratnakara it is stated:
srinivasa sighra samudrera kule gela
haridasa-thakurera samadhi dekhila
bhumite padiya kaila pranati vistara
bhagavata-gana sri-samadhi-sannidhane
srinivase sthira kaila sasneha-vacane
punah srinivasa sri-samadhi pranamiya
ye vilapa kaila, ta sunile drave hiya
"Srinivasa Thakura quickly ran to the seashore. When he saw the tomb of
Haridasa Thakura, he immediately fell down offering prayers and almost
fainted. The devotees present there pacified him with very sweet and
affectionate words, and Srinivasa again offered his obeisances to the
tomb. Hearing of the separation that Srinivasa expressed in his
lamentation at the tomb of Haridasa Thakura makes one's heart melt."

TEXT
maha-bhagavata haridasa -- parama-vidvan
e saubhagya lagi' age karila prayana
SYNONYMS
maha-bhagavata -- great devotee; haridasa -- Haridasa Thakura; parama-
vidvan -- the most learned; e saubhagya lagi' -- because of his great
fortune; age -- first; karila prayana -- he passed away.
TRANSLATION
Haridasa Thakura was not only the topmost devotee of the Lord but also a
great and learned scholar. It was his great fortune that he passed away
before Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
PURPORT
Haridasa Thakura is mentioned here as the most learned scholar, parama-
vidvan. Actually, the most important science to know is the science of
getting out of the clutches of material existence. Anyone who knows this
science must be considered the greatest learned person. Anyone who knows
the temporary situation of this material world and is expert in
achieving a permanent situation in the spiritual world, who knows that
the Supreme Personality of Godhead is beyond the jurisdiction of our
experimental knowledge, is understood to be the most learned scholar.
Haridasa Thakura knew this science perfectly. Therefore, he is described
in this connection as parama-vidvan. He personally preached the
importance of chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, which is approved by
the revealed scriptures. As stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam (7.5.24):
iti pumsarpita visnau bhaktis cen nava-laksana
kriyeta bhagavaty addha tan manye ‘dhitam uttamam
There are nine different processes of devotional service to Krsna, the
most important being sravanam kirtanam [SB 7.5.23] -- hearing and
chanting. Haridasa Thakura knew this science very well, and he can
therefore be called, technically, sarva-sastradhiti. Anyone who has
learned the essence of all the Vedic scriptures is to be known as a
first-class educated person, with full knowledge of all sastra.

Antya 11: The Passing of Haridasa Thakura
Chapter 11:
The Passing of Haridasa Thakura
The summary of this chapter is given by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in
his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya as follows. In this chapter it is described how
Brahma Haridasa Thakura gave up his body with the consent of Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and how the Lord Himself personally performed the
funeral ceremony and carried the body to the sea. He personally entombed
the body, covered it with sand and erected a platform on the site. After
taking a bath in the sea, He personally begged prasadam of Jagannatha
from shopkeepers and distributed prasadam to the assembled devotees.

eta bali' maha-prasada karila vandana

SYNONYMS
eta bali' -- saying this; maha-prasada -- to the maha-prasadam; karila
vandana -- he offered respect; eka ranca -- one fractional part; lana --
taking; tara karila bhaksana -- ate it.
TRANSLATION
Saying this, he offered prayers to the maha-prasadam, took a little
portion, and ate it.
PURPORT
Maha-prasadam is nondifferent from Krsna. Therefore, instead of eating
maha-prasadam, one should honor it. It is said here, karila vandana, "he
offered prayers." When taking maha-prasadam, one should not consider the
food ordinary preparations. Prasada means favor. One should consider
maha-prasadam a favor of Krsna. As stated by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura,
krsna bada dayamaya karibare jihva jaya svaprasada-anna dila bhai. Krsna
is very kind. In this material world we are all very much attached to
tasting various types of food. Therefore, Krsna eats many nice varieties
of food and offers the food back to the devotees, so that not only are
one's demands for various tastes satisfied, but by eating prasadam one
makes advancement in spiritual life. Therefore, we should never consider
ordinary food on an equal level with maha-prasadam.

Antya 11.23
TEXT 23
TEXT
prabhu kahe, -- ‘kon vyadhi, kaha ta' nirnaya?'

SYNONYMS
prabhu kahe -- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said; kon vyadhi -- what disease;
kaha ta' nirnaya -- can you ascertain; tenho kahe -- he said; sankhya-

complete.
TRANSLATION
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu further inquired from Haridasa, "Can you
ascertain what your disease is?"
Haridasa Thakura replied, "My disease is that I cannot complete my
rounds."
PURPORT
If one cannot complete the fixed number of rounds he is assigned, he
should be considered to be in a diseased condition of spiritual life.
Srila Haridasa Thakura is called namacarya. Of course, we cannot imitate
Haridasa Thakura, but everyone must chant a prescribed number of rounds.
In our Krsna consciousness movement we have fixed sixteen rounds as the
minimum so that the Westerners will not feel burdened. These sixteen
rounds must be chanted, and chanted loudly, so that one can hear himself
and others.
Antya 11.24
TEXT 24
TEXT
prabhu kahe, -- "vrddha ha-ila ‘sankhya' alpa kara
siddha-deha tumi, sadhane agraha kene kara?
SYNONYMS
prabhu kahe -- Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said; vrddha ha-ila -- you
have become old; sankhya alpa kara -- reduce your number; siddha-deha
tumi -- you are already liberated; sadhane -- in the regulative
principles; agraha kene kara -- why are you eager.
TRANSLATION
"Now that you have become old," the Lord said, "you may reduce the
number of rounds you chant daily. You are already liberated, and
therefore you need not follow the regulative principles very strictly.
PURPORT
Unless one has come to the platform of spontaneous love of God, he must
follow the regulative principles. Thakura Haridasa was the living
example of how to follow the regulative principles. Similarly,
Raghunatha dasa Gosvami was also such a living example. In the Sad-
gosvamy-astaka it is stated, sankhya-purvaka-nama-gana-natibhih
kalavasani-krtau. The Gosvamis, especially Raghunatha dasa Gosvami,
strictly followed all the regulative principles. The first regulative
principle is that one must chant the Hare Krsna maha-mantra loudly
enough so that he can hear himself, and one must vow to chant a fixed
number of rounds. Not only was Raghunatha dasa Gosvami chanting a fixed
number of rounds, but he had also taken a vow to bow down many times and
offer obeisances to the Lord.
Antya 11.25
TEXT 25
TEXT
loka nistarite ei tomara ‘avatara'
namera mahima loke karila pracara
SYNONYMS
loka nistarite -- to deliver the people in general; ei -- this; tomara
avatara -- your incarnation; namera mahima -- the glories of the holy
name; loke -- in this world; karila pracara -- you have preached.
TRANSLATION
"Your role in this incarnation is to deliver the people in general. You
have sufficiently preached the glories of the holy name in this world."
PURPORT
Haridasa Thakura is known as namacarya because it is he who preached the
glories of chanting hari-nama, the holy name of God. By using the words
tomara avatara ("your incarnation"), Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu confirms
that Haridasa Thakura is the incarnation of Lord Brahma. Srila
Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura says that advanced devotees help the
Supreme Personality of Godhead in His mission and that such devotees or
personal associates incarnate by the will of the Supreme Lord. The
Supreme Lord incarnates by His own will, and, by His will, competent
devotees also incarnate to help Him in His mission. Haridasa Thakura is
thus the incarnation of Lord Brahma, and other devotees are likewise
incarnations who help in the prosecution of the Lord's mission.

The Lord concluded, "Now, therefore, please reduce the fixed number of

"My dear Lord, by Your mercy You have made me dance in many ways. For
example, I was offered the sraddha-patra, which should have been offered
to first-class brahmanas. I ate from it even though I was born in a
family of meat-eaters.
PURPORT
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, in his Anubhasya, quotes from
the Visnu-smrti in reference to the sraddha-patra.
brahmanapasada hy ete kathitah pankti-dusakah
etan vivarjayed yatnat sraddha-karmani panditah
According to this verse, if one is born in a brahmana family but does
not behave according to brahminical standards, he should not be offered
the sraddha-patra, which is prasadam offered to the forefathers. Advaita
Acarya offered the sraddha-patra to Haridasa Thakura, not to a brahmana
who had been born in a brahmana family. Although Haridasa Thakura was
born in the family of meat-eaters, because he was an advanced devotee he
was shown more respect than a first-class brahmana.

PURPORT
At Purusottama-ksetra, or Jagannatha Puri, there is a temple of Tota-
gopinatha. If one goes from there to the sea, he can discover the tomb
of Haridasa Thakura still existing. Every year on the date of Ananta-
caturdasi there is a festival to commemorate the passing away of
Haridasa Thakura. At the same place, Deities of Nityananda Prabhu, Krsna
Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Advaita Prabhu were established about one
hundred years ago. A gentleman named Bhramaravara from Kendrapada, in
the province of Orissa, contributed funds to establish these Deities in
the temple. The management of the temple was under the Tota-gopinatha
gosvamis.
This temple was later sold to someone else, and this party is now
maintaining the seva-puja of the temple. Near this temple and the tomb
of Haridasa Thakura, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura constructed a small
house called the Bhakti-kuti. In the Bengali year 1329 (A.D. 1922), the
Purusottama-matha, a branch of the Gaudiya Matha, was established there.
In the Bhakti-ratnakara it is stated:
srinivasa sighra samudrera kule gela
haridasa-thakurera samadhi dekhila
bhumite padiya kaila pranati vistara
bhagavata-gana sri-samadhi-sannidhane
srinivase sthira kaila sasneha-vacane
punah srinivasa sri-samadhi pranamiya
ye vilapa kaila, ta sunile drave hiya
"Srinivasa Thakura quickly ran to the seashore. When he saw the tomb of
Haridasa Thakura, he immediately fell down offering prayers and almost
fainted. The devotees present there pacified him with very sweet and
affectionate words, and Srinivasa again offered his obeisances to the
tomb. Hearing of the separation that Srinivasa expressed in his
lamentation at the tomb of Haridasa Thakura makes one's heart melt."

vidvan -- the most learned; e saubhagya lagi' -- because of his great

TRANSLATION
Haridasa Thakura was not only the topmost devotee of the Lord but also a
great and learned scholar. It was his great fortune that he passed away
before Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
PURPORT
Haridasa Thakura is mentioned here as the most learned scholar, parama-
vidvan. Actually, the most important science to know is the science of
getting out of the clutches of material existence. Anyone who knows this
science must be considered the greatest learned person. Anyone who knows
the temporary situation of this material world and is expert in
achieving a permanent situation in the spiritual world, who knows that
the Supreme Personality of Godhead is beyond the jurisdiction of our
experimental knowledge, is understood to be the most learned scholar.
Haridasa Thakura knew this science perfectly. Therefore, he is described
in this connection as parama-vidvan. He personally preached the
importance of chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, which is approved by
the revealed scriptures. As stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam (7.5.24):
iti pumsarpita visnau bhaktis cen nava-laksana
kriyeta bhagavaty addha tan manye ‘dhitam uttamam
There are nine different processes of devotional service to Krsna, the
most important being sravanam kirtanam [SB 7.5.23] -- hearing and
chanting. Haridasa Thakura knew this science very well, and he can
therefore be called, technically, sarva-sastradhiti. Anyone who has
learned the essence of all the Vedic scriptures is to be known as a
first-class educated person, with full knowledge of all sastra.
