Chapter 11

The Passing of Haridasa Thakura

The summary of the chapter is given by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura in

his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya as follows. In this chapter,

Brahma Haridasa Thakura gave up his body with the consent of Sri

Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and 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 bath in the sea, He personally begged prasada of

Jagannatha from shopkeepers and distributed prasada to the assembled

devotees.

TEXT

eta bali' maha-prasada karila vandana

eka ranca lana tara karila bhaksana

SYNONYMS

eta bali' -- saying this; maha-prasada -- to the maha-prasada; 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-prasada, took a little

portion, and ate it.

PURPORT

Maha-prasada is nondifferent from Krsna. Therefore, instead of eating

maha-prasada, one should honor it. It is said here, karila vandana, "he

offered prayers." When taking maha-prasada, one should not consider the

food ordinary preparations. Prasada means favor. One should consider

maha-prasada 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 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 prasada he

makes advancement in spiritual life. Therefore, we should never consider

ordinary food on an equal level with maha-prasada.

SYNONYMS

prabhu kahe -- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said; kon vyadhi -- what disease;

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

kirtana -- fixed amount of chanting; na puraya -- has not become

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

kalavasanikrtau. 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.

prasada kariya -- by Your mercy; viprera -- of the brahmanas; sraddha-

TRANSLATION

"My dear Lord, by Your mercy You have made me dance in many ways. For

example, I was offered the sraddha-patra that should have been offered

to first-class brahmanas. I ate from it even though I was born in a

family of meateaters.

PURPORT

Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, in his Anubhasya, quotes from

the Visnu-smrti in reference to 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 prasada 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 meateaters, 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, three Deities of Nityananda,

Krsna Caitanya 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 Bhakti-kuti. In the Bengali year 1329,

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."

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 -- 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 scripture 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.

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.

TRANSLATION
 
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu further inquired from Haridasa, "Can you

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.

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."

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.
