“बृहत्साम तथा साम्नां गायत्री छन्दसामहम् |

मासानां मार्गशीर्षोऽहमृतूनां कु सुमाकरः || ३५ ||

मैं सामवेद के गीतों में बृहत्साम हूँ और छन्दों में गायत्री हूँ | समस्त महीनों में मैं मार्गशीर्ष (अगहन)
तथा समस्त ऋतुओं में फू ल खिलने वाली वसन्त ऋतु हूँ |

”Vasant Panchami, shukla panchmi moon in

Magha maas, marks the beginning of spring in
India, and the beginning of the festivities of Holi
in Vraja.

Worship of sarasvati
दंडकारण्य का वह क्षेत्र इन दिनों गुजरात और मध्य प्रदेश में फै ला है। गुजरात के डांग जिले में वह
स्थान है जहां शबरी मां का आश्रम था। वसंत पंचमी के दिन ही रामचंद्र जी वहां आये थे। उस क्षेत्र के
वनवासी आज भी एक शिला को पूजते हैं, जिसके बारे में उनकी श्रध्दा है कि श्रीराम आकर यहीं
बैठे थे। वहां शबरी माता का मंदिर भी है।

In Vraja all are dressed and decorated in yellow

garments, jewels and flowers. Following in the same
mood of the festival, many of the devotees also dress
in yellow garments. The Lords are offered various
dishes with kesar and other yellow ingredients that
make the foodstuffs also match the overall color code
of the festival.

From this day forth, the colorful festival of Holi, in

which Brajendrananadan Krishna and the gopis headed
by Shrimati Radhika engage in throwing flower petals,
colored powders and colored water on each other in a
transcendental love battle, is celebrated for 40 days in
different parts of Vrindavan.
The transcendental pastime of Vasant raas also took
place on this auspicious night in Govardhan at Chandra
sarovar, in which the moon stood still to take darshan
of this divine dance for the duration of one night of
Lord Brahma, which is equals to trillions of years on
this earthly planet.

This day also marks the appearance day of

Shrimati Vishnupriya devi, the consort of
Mahaprabhu, who is an embodiment of divine
love.
At the very tender age of 16, her husband Prem
Purushottam Mahaprabhu took sannyas, leaving
her in a state of great distress and separation.
After Mahaprabhu’s sannyas, for the rest of her
life she spent her time chanting and singing the
glories of Krishna and the Lord of her life,
Gauranga.
She would put aside a grain of rice after every
mantra of Hare Krishna that she would chant and
after chanting whole morning, she would cook
the rice that she had put aside and offer it to her
deity of Mahaprabhu, whom she used to worship
day and night with tears of love and devotion
streaming forth from her beautiful eyes.
Thereafter she would offer the rice to her dear
mother in law, Sachi mata, and only eat whatever
was remaining after Sachi mata had eaten. In this
way she spent her life in the remembrance of her
husband, who is none other than
Brajendranandan Shyamsundar.

Radhunath das goswami also blessed this world by

appearing on this very day.
Got mercy of nityananda then he got chaitanya
mahaprabhu

Krsna protecting raghunath goswami then sanatan

goswami ask him to make kutiya
Radha rani came for protection
He speaks 3 hr chaitanya katha daily
Books:Stava-mala, Dana-charita and Mukta-charita

This auspicious day of Vasant panchami is also the

disappearance day of Shrila Vishwanath chakravarty
thakur, who is a manifestation of Srila Rupa
goswami.

Srila Vishwanath chakravarty thakur re-established

the flow of pure devotion which had slackened after
the disappearance of Narottama das thakur, Shrinivas
and Shyamananda prabhu.

While residing in Vraja, he made a great contribution

to the treasure of gaudiya literatue in the form of
many commentaries and books of his own, such as
Raga vartama chandrika, Camatkar chandrika, Prem
samputa, Vraja riti chintamani, Bhakti rasamrita
sindhu bindhu, Ujjvala nilmani kiran and many
others. His mercy is of utmost importance for anyone
aspiring to make advancement in Krishna bhakti.
