Sri Guru Puja 2000.pdf - Srila Bhakti Vaibhava Puri Maharaja

of the present age, to bring down again into this world the current of
unalloyed devotion as promulgated by Sree Chaitanya, appeared on the
scene in a village of Bengal not very far from the birth-site of Sree
Chaitanya.. His principal motto was to establish true uniformity in the
preaching and practice of the religion of love by eliminating all hypocrisies
both in speech and performance. In order to elucidate the real cult of Sree
Chaitanya, he wrote about a hundred treatises on the Vaishnava religion.
He also renewed Sree Viswa Vaishnav Raj Sabha or the spiritual
association of all pure devotees, a full development and reorganisation of
which has been brought about by His Divine Grace Sree Sreemad Bhakti
Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur.
Some are of opinion that the material gifts of science are only meant for
the enjoyment of men, which, when visualised in their true colours, are
found to tend to jealousy and mortal warfare among nations, in the end.
The so-called religious sects, due to their bitter worldly experience, throw
the blame for the misfortunes of humanity on the gifts of science and
advise recourse to mental dissipations under the garb of renunciation. But
the ways of the Acharya of Sree Gaudiya Math are quite different. He
teaches how to utilize the gifts of science for propagating the saving
Message of Sree Chaitanya. The radio, instead of being used as an object
of luxury, is being utilised for broadcasting the Message of Sree Chaitanya
throughout the length and breadth of the animate kingdom. The
telephone, telegraph, aeroplane, bioscope and all other gifts of science
can serve the permanent good of humanity if they offer to carry the
Message of Sree Chaitanya under the direction of the Acharya. Then and
then alone the scientific world and mechanical civilisation will be able to
obtain the greatest all-embracing good; otherwise the dissemination of
palpable or suppressed enjoyments is sure to bring about the ruin of
mankind, proving at the same time the alleged horrible futility of the gifts
of science. Do not the last great European war and the futile proposals of
the disarmament league as reactions thereof, fully testify to the truth of
these statements?
The main-spring of the Message of Sree Chaitanya is the dissemination of
the science of Transcendental Sound by means of the chant of the Name.
Of all the discoveries made heither to in the domain of mechanicalcivilisation,
the radio stands foremost to declare the height of its glory and
to pointedly show us the high excellence of the efficacy of sound. But the
science of Transcendental Sound lying beyond the range of the mundane
medium is, indeed, the eternal novelty itself. If we want to have the songs
from Krishna's Flute we will have to transcend the region of three
dimensions and worship the 'Shabda-Brahma' or the living Transcendental
Sound. He can, out of His Mercy come down from the Transcendental
Region to the mundane medium without compromising in any way His real
entity. Anybody catching the songs of Krishna's Flute can communicate
and extend the same to the ears of mankind. If no non-conducting screen
intervenes between the Message of Sree Chaitanya and our ears, it alone
can really sweeten our whole life. The science of this Transcendental
Sound offers all bonafide universal peace, universal love, universal good
