From Srimad Bhãgavata Mãhãtmyam:
A few of the favourites of His Holiness Sri Sri Swamiji
“Chintãmannir lokasukham suradruh swargasampadam |
prayachati Guruh priito vaikuntam yogidurlabham ||
– 1:8
“
‘Chintãmanni’ (wish fulfilling stone) bestows only worldly benefits
and
‘Kalpataru’ (wish fulfilling Tree) only heavenly enjoyments
but,
the spiritual Master, if pleased, can bestow Vaikunta that is rare even for
Yogiis!
“
“Yatphalam nãsti tapasa na yogena samadhina |
tatphalam labhate samyakkalau kesavakiitanãt”||
– 1:68
“
The fine fruit unattainable through tapas, yoga or samadhi
is attained through singing the praises of the Lord!
“
“Atha vaishnavachitteshu drushttvã bhaktimaloukikiim |
nijalokam parityajya Bhagavãn bhaktavatsalah ||
vanamãli ghanashyãmah piitavãsa manoharah |
kãnchiikalaparuchiro lasanmukutakundalah ||
tribhangalalitachãrukaustubhena virãjitah |
kotiimanmathalãvanyo harichandanacharchitah ||
paramãnandachinmurtihmadhuro muraliidharah |
ãvivesha swabhaktãnãm hurdayãnyamalãni cha ||
– 4: 1,2,3&4
“
Thus, seeing the extraordinary devotion in the hearts of Vaishnavãs, the Lord who is loving and compassionate towards his devotees, gave up his own abode
decked with floral wreaths, (complexion) dark like the rain-laden cloud, dressed in yellow garments, with a captivating form, resplendent with golden girdle and ear rings
possessing a beautiful form aslant at three places, shining with the ‘kaustubha’ gem, possessing the beauty of million cupids and daubed with sandal paste
the Lord who is verily the embodiment of Bliss and Consciousness,
the Lord Muralidhara (one with flute) who is extremely charming, entered the pure hearts of his devotees!
