Sri Sri Guru-astakamby Srila Visvanatha
Cakravarti ThakuraSrila Visvanatha Cakravarti
Thakura, who appeared in the middle of the
seventeenth century, is a great spiritual master
in the Krishna conscious chain of gurus and
disciples. He says, "One who, with great care and
attention, loudly recites this beautiful prayer
to the spiritual master during the Brahma-muhurta
the early morning hour before sunrise obtains
direct service to Krishna, the Lord of Vrndavana,
at the time of his death."

Ten Offenses to be Avoided

• 1) To blaspheme the devotees who have dedicated
  their lives for propagating the holy name of the
  Lord.
• 2) To consider the names of the demigods like
  Lord Siva or Lord Brahma to be equal to, or
  independent of, the name Lord Visnu.
• 3) To disobey the orders of the spiritual master.
  
• 4) To blaspheme the Vedic literature or
  literature in pursuance of the Vedic version.
• 5) To consider the glories of chanting Hare Krsna
  to be imagination.
• 6) To give some interpretation on the holy name
  of the Lord.
• 7) To commit sinful activities on the strength of
  chanting the holy name of the Lord.
• 8) To consider chanting of Hare Krsna as one of
  the auspicious ritualistic activities offered in
  the Vedas as fruitive activities (karma-kanda).
• 9) To instruct a faithless person about the
  glories of the holy name.
• 10) To not have complete faith in the chanting of
  the holy names and to maintain material
  attachments, even after understanding so many
  instructions on this matter.
• Every devotee who claims to be a Vaisnava must
  guard against these offenses in order to quickly
  achieve the desired success. Krishna Prema!

I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is
adept in playing on His flute, with blooming eyes
like lotus petals with head decked with peacock's
feather, with the figure of beauty tinged with
the hue of blue clouds, and His unique loveliness
charming millions of Cupids.
I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord whose
transcendental form is full of bliss, truth,
substantiality and is thus full of the most
dazzling splendor. Each of the limbs of that
transcendental figure possesses in Himself, the
full-fledged functions of all the organs, and
eternally sees, maintains and manifests the
infinite universes, both spiritual and mundane.
