Licensed for Personal Use Only Lord Nityänanda Prabhu’s Appearance Day Lecture By His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedänta Swamé Prabhupäda Bhubaneswar, Orrisa on February 2, 1977 Nityänanda Prabhu is Baladeva, Baladeva-tattva. vrajendra-nandana yei, çacé-suta haila sei, balaräma haila nitäi “Who was formerly the son of Nanda Mahäräja, He has appeared as the son of Çacé-devé.” Caitanya Mahäprabhu’s mother’s name was Çacé-devé. Kåñëa is Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu, and Balaräma is Nityänanda Prabhu. In the Vedic literature it is said, näyam ätmä bala-hénena labhyaù na bahunä çrutena. bala means strength. Sometimes some rascal philosophers take it that bala means bodily strength. They propagate this philosophy that unless you are bodily stout and strong, you cannot achieve spiritual salvation. You must be very strong and stout and eat meat and fight, and then you’ll get next spiritual birth. No. This bala, strength, is different. This is spiritual strength.

Licensed for Personal Use Only ÇRÉ NITYÄNANDA CARITÄMÅTA The difficulty of the present situation is that, actually, we are moving on account of spiritual strength, but they have no information of the spiritual strength. They are thinking of material strength. That is expressed here, that, ahaìkäre matta hoiyä, nitäi-pada päsariyä, asatyere satya kori mäni This is due to ahaìkära. Ahaìkära-vimüòhätmä kartäham iti manyate (BG. 3.27). Those who are vimüòha, especially rascal, müòha, rascals, and vi means viçeña, viçeñanam, particularly. Ahankara-vimudhätmä. The same thing which is spoken in the Bhagavad-gétä, Narottama däsa Öhäkura says the same thing in a plain Bengali language. ahaìkäre matta haiyä, nitäi-pada. By the spell of mäyä—ahaìkära-vimüòhätmä kartäham iti manyate— they are thinking that, “We are independent. We can do whatever we like.” This is called ahaìkära-vimüòhätmä. Under false pretext, false prestige, everyone is thinking that, “We are independent. We can find out the solution of the problems of life by material adjustment,” so on, so on. So that is our material disease. Ahaìkära-vimüòhätmä. Bewildered, they do not understand that the real strength is spiritual strength. We see daily a very strong man, a very powerful man, a man with very good brain, a very good scientist and so on. So what is the strength? The strength is ätmä. As soon as the ätmä, or the soul, goes out of the body; the so-called intelligent, strength, and so many things, become nothing. That is the difference between dead man and the living man. A living man is very powerful, very good position, everything. As soon as he dies, he is lying down on the floor, and if you kick him on his face, he’ll not protest. So where is that strength? The strength is gone. That is spiritual strength. On the spiritual strength, the body moves. Suppose you have got a very good car, Mercedes car or Rolls Royce car, but when there is no petrol, how the car will move? It is not possible. There is spirit, petrol spirit. Similarly, real strength is spiritual strength. That spiritual strength is Balaräma. Bala means strength. Therefore we have to take shelter of the lotus feet of Balaräma, guru-tattva. 230 This book can be had from www.touchstonemedia.com
