The rising of the sun of the Srimad Bhagavatam.

The rising of the sun of the Srimad Bhagavatam.

The following is a translation of, Hayanodghata, the last article by Srila Prabhupada published in Gaudiya magazine in Vaishakh of 1936.

"Gaudiya magazine today enters its fifteenth year. For fourteen years, Gaudiya has sung Goloka's incomparable glories just as Lakshman served Rama during His exile. May the readers and hearers of Gaudiya find eternal ecstasy in joyfully relishing the fruits born by this fifteen-year-old tree. We ask that everyone join us in praying for Lord Gaurasundar's mercy so that Gaudiya's message will soon spread to America. This message is being discussed in Europe, particularly in London, so why should America be left behind
?




May Bhaktivinode Thakur's songs and transcendental literature, which contain the same essence as those of Narottam Das Thakur, be distributed in huge numbers throughout Bengal, Orissa and Assam. The translations of Sharanagati into Tamil and Chaitanya Sikshamrita into Telugu will certainly help the people of those regions find direction to the highest spiritual truth.

May the Tridandi sannyasis of Gaudiya Math bring joy to Gaudiya magazine. May Gaudiyas in every stage of life find firm faith in the service of Lord Chaitanya.


prithivite jata katha dharma name cale
bhagavata kahe taha paripurna chale


'Whatever is called religion in this world is said by the Bhagavatam to be a complete fraud'.


May this statement become the standard by which religions all over the world be measured. May the world's intelligentsia come to adore
Jaiva Dharma and Sri Chaitanya Sikshamrita. May they then raise the victory flag of the truly non-sectarian religion and learn that Sri Krishna Chaitanya, Harinam and the book Bhagavata are identical with each other. May the Bengali devotees along with rest of the world's people hear, chant and study the Bhagavata. May this institution for Rupa Goswami's followers be eternally engaged in Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's service. May all fraudulent conclusions about spiritual life disappear like a fog from the heart of the human race with the rising of the sun of the Srimad Bhagavatam."
