\"\u015ar\u012b<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the kingdom of Krishna everyone always carry the desire to serve Krishna. And we also see that Krishna too loves to serve his devotees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If we read scriptures and the life of great devotees, we find that they carry only one desire in their heart and their desire is to become servant of Krishna.<\/strong> What to talk about the pure devotees, even the first expansion of the Supreme Lord, Lord Balarama, wants to become a humble servant of Krishna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u015ar\u012b Advaita \u0100c\u0101rya considers himself a servant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In Chaitanya lila, we see that \u015ar\u012b Advaita \u0100c\u0101rya always considered himself a servant of Lord Chaitanya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Lord Chaitanya appeared then \u015ar\u012b Advaita \u0100c\u0101rya was 60 years old<\/strong>, old enough to be grandfather of Lord Chaitanya. And so, Lord Caitanya would give him respect. But \u015ar\u012b Advaita \u0100c\u0101rya did not like this.  So, once he enacted a pastime and he started preaching Mayavada philosophy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Lord Caitanya heard about this, he became extremely angry, and he started beating \u015ar\u012b Advaita \u0100c\u0101rya. <\/strong>\u015ar\u012b Advaita \u0100c\u0101rya wife, Srimati Sita Thakurani started begging Lord Caitanya to stop beating an elderly person else he will die. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But \u015ar\u012b Advaita \u0100c\u0101rya was enjoying it<\/strong>. He wanted to convey to the whole world that see although Lord Caitanya considers me an acharya and gives me respect but actually Lord Caitanya is the real acharya and we all should serve him.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u015ar\u012b Advaita \u0100c\u0101rya thinks, \u201cLord Caitanya considers Me His spiritual master, yet I feel Myself to be only His servant.\u201d \u015ar\u012b Caitanya-carit\u0101m\u1e5bta,Ai-l\u012bl\u0101, 6.5<\/mark><\/a>2<\/mark><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u015ar\u012b Advaita \u0100c\u0101rya is an incarnation of Mah\u0101-Vi\u1e63\u1e47u and Sadasiva. He came here to propagate pure devotion to Krishna and to teach us that our only goal of life should be to always serve Krishna<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cultivating desire to serve Krishna<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even in Vrindavan we see that mood is of servitorship. Everyone wants to serve Krishna \u2013 Nanda Maharaja, Mother Yashoda, gopis, gopas, cows, peacocks, river Yamuna, in fact everyone serves Krishna.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gopis would always consider themselves as Krishna\u2019s maidservants.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“O Uddhava! It is indeed regrettable that K\u1e5b\u1e63\u1e47a resides in Mathur\u0101. Does He remember His father\u2019s household affairs and His friends, the cowherd boys? O great soul! Does He ever talk about us, His maidservants?<\/strong> When will He lay on our heads His aguru-scented hand?” \u015ar\u012bmad-Bh\u0101gavatam (Bh\u0101gavata Pur\u0101\u1e47a) 10.47.21<\/mark><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this this world we see that everyone wants to become masters but in the kingdom of Krishnan everyone wants to serve Krishn<\/mark><\/a>a<\/mark><\/a>. There no one wants to enjoy with Krishna but everyone wants to give joy to Krishna. <\/strong>And while doing so they experiences unlimited bliss.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today is the appearance day of \u015ar\u012b Advaita \u0100c\u0101rya. Let us pray at his lotus feet to purify our heart and give us benediction so that we also cultivate the desire to always serve Krishna\u2019s lotus feet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
