Karttika 2006: Japa Meditations - October 13, 2006

Karttika 2006
Japa Meditations

October 13, 2006
Govardhana

I want entrance - absorption - into the holy name. What is that door that leads to such immersion? It is attraction to Sri Krishna. I thus search for my taste - the particular manifestation of the Lord that today will somehow evoke my natural love and open my heart to Sri Nama. I begin my japa. I pray to Sri Guru and the Vaisnavas and, gradually, in my chanting progressively reach the lotus feet of Sri Rupa Gosvami. I think of his samadhi at Radha Damodara, his bhajan kutir at Ter Kadamba, I sing his song (sri rupa manjari pada) and meditate on the special mercy he received from Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. The heart opens. A slight taste comes. I gain entrance – absorption - into the holy name knowing it is only mercy.
