| • Sri Siksashtakam |
| (1) Glory to the Sri-Krishna-Sankirtana, which cleanses the heart of all the dust accumulated for years and extinguishes the fire of conditional life, of repeated birth and death. This sankirtana movement is the prime benediction for humanity at large because it spreads the rays of the benediction moon. It is the life of all transcendental knowledge. It increases the ocean of transcendental bliss, and it enables us to fully taste the nectar for which we are always anxious. |
| (2) O my Lord, Your holy name alone can render all benediction to living beings, and thus You have hundreds and millions of names like Krishna and Govinda. In these transcendental names You have invested all Your transcendental energies. There are not even hard and fast rules for chanting these names. O my Lord, out of kindness You enable us to easily approach You by Your holy names, but I am so unfortunate that I have no attraction for them. |
| (3) One should chant the holy name of the Lord in a humble state of mind, thinking oneself lower than the straw in the street; one should be more tolerant than a tree, devoid of all sense of false prestige and should be ready to offer all respect to others. In such a state of mind one can chant the holy name of the Lord constantly. |
| (4) O almighty Lord, I have no desire to accumulate wealth, nor do I desire beautiful women, nor do I want any number of followers. I only want Your causeless devotional service birth after birth. |
| (5) O son of Maharaja Nanda [Krishna], I am Your eternal servitor, yet somehow or other I have fallen into the ocean of birth and death. Please pick me up from this ocean of death and place me as one of the atoms at Your lotus feet. |
| (6) O my Lord, when will my eyes be decorated with tears of love flowing constantly when I chant Your holy name? When will my voice choke up, and when will the hairs of my body stand on end at the recitation of Your name? |
| (7) O Govinda! Feeling Your separation, I am considering a moment to be like twelve years or more. Tears are flowing from my eyes like torrents of rain, and I am feeling all vacant in the world in Your absence. |
| (8) I know no one but Krishna as my Lord, and He shall remain so even if He handles me roughly by His embrace or makes me brokenhearted by not being present before me. He is completely free to do anything and everything, for He is always my worshipful Lord unconditionally. |

| 【1】光荣属于唱诵 “Krishna” 赞歌的人。因为它将清除我们内心多年积累的所有尘垢，熄灭我们依赖于外在条件的生命和反复出生、死亡的火焰。“唱 Krishna 赞歌”运动在广大的意义上是对人类的祝福，就像圣洁的月亮洒下它的光辉一样。它为我们提供了具有超越性知识的生命。它扩大了超越性喜悦的海洋，使总是感到焦虑的我们能够充分品尝到神的甘露。 |
|
【2】哦，我的主啊，只有你的神圣之名才能为众生祝福，因此你有千万个名字，譬如“克里希那” (Krishna) 和“戈文达” (Govinda)。在这些超越性的神圣之名中，你已经赐予了你所有的超越性能量。唱诵这些神圣之名甚至不需要繁琐严苛的仪式。我的主啊，出于你的慈悲，你使我们因你的圣名而很容易地亲近你。但我实在是太愚钝了（即心灵被物质世界的尘垢所蒙蔽），以致根本没有意识到你的圣名的意义。（你的圣名就是超越性喜悦的海洋，使总是感到焦虑的我们能够充分品尝到神的甘露。） ...... |

| [[Glossary]] |
|
* Kirtan — 赞歌，信徒们赞颂神的歌曲或祈祷曲，以表达对神的虔敬。 * Sankirtan — Krishna Bhajans，“Krishna” 赞歌； * Sri-Krishna-Sankirtana — 唱诵 “Krishna” 赞歌的人、信徒； * Sri-Krishna-Sankirtanam — 唱诵 “Krishna” 赞歌运动，及其宗派。 |
|
* ceto-darpana-marjanam — “Marjanam” means "cleanse," and “darpanam” means "mirror". The heart is a mirror. Just as a camera takes all kinds of pictures of days and nights, so also our heart takes pictures and keeps them in an unconscious state (Subconsciousness). The heart takes so many pictures, and therefore it becomes covered. We do not know when it has begun, but it is a fact that because there is material contact, our real identity is covered. Therefore “ceto-darpana-marjanam” means “one has to cleanse his heart”. — “ceto-darpana-marjanam” 的意思就是“擦亮内心之镜”。它把人的心比喻成“镜子”，这个譬喻跟佛教里一样，“人心之镜”被物质世界的种种现象所污染，因而它的本性被尘垢所遮蔽。因此，为了做到与神沟通，首先就要“擦亮内心之镜”。 |

• 【 关于赞歌 (Kirtan) 及 “Sri-Krishna-Sankirtanam” 】 | |
| 中国佛教里有个“净土宗”，大家都以为，这个宗派的入门门槛很低，只要口呼“阿弥陀佛”名号，即可往生西方“极乐净土”，似乎连文盲都可以做到。但不要忘了，这是有条件的，条件就是你的心必须要“虔敬”（梵语：“Bhakti”），这包括两个方面：一方面是“信”，既代表“信仰”，又代表“自信”；另一方面就是“虔诚”，要真心实意地敬拜。只有做到了这一点，你念“阿弥陀佛”也才可能念到“忘我”的境界，甚至有人可以达到“禅定”的效果。你可以没钱，无法布施，也可以不识字，无法读佛教经典，这都不重要，重要的是你的心一定要“虔敬”，这在理论上人人都可以做到。可别小瞧这个宗派，它对佛教的普及起到了重大作用。 | |
| 而在印度教里，也有类似中国“净土宗”这样的宗派，其中有一个叫 “Sankirtan”，意思是“唱诵克里希那 (Krishna) 赞歌”，这个宗派的全称是 “Sri-Krishna-Sankirtanam”，我简称之为 “Krishna 赞歌派”。那为什么要赞颂“克里希那” (Krishna)，而不直接赞颂主神“毗湿奴” (Vishnu) 呢？首先，“毗湿奴”都是以化身（Avatar，“阿凡达”）的形式出现在神话里来拯救世界，所以老百姓更熟悉他的化身形象。其次，也是更重要的原因，“Sri Krishna” 被认为是“毗湿奴”的人格化化身的首位神 (the Supreme Personality of Godhead)，他是印度最重要史诗《摩诃婆罗多》的主角，印度教圣典《博伽梵歌》就出自于他的口授，因此，他就代表了印度教的最高精神，他就等同于“毗湿奴”。而“毗湿奴”的其他化身就没有这个功能。 | |
| 在 16世纪上半叶，印度出现了一位圣人，被尊称为 “Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu”（“Lord” 是敬称），他就致力于推广 “Sankirtan”（唱 Krishna 赞歌）运动。他认为，人们以虔敬之心念诵神的神圣名号，以及唱诵 “Krishna Maha-mantra”（伟大咒语），并通过冥想其意义就可以净化人的内心，从而实现与神的沟通。这样就不必通过供养婆罗门，也不需要精通梵文去通读经典，更不必通过苦修，人人都可以通过“唱赞歌”的方式实现与神的沟通。因此他的方法大受欢迎，印度教教义也因此在底层民众之间得到广泛传播，所以他又被民众认为是 “Krishna 转世”（化身）。上述的赞歌，“Maha-mantra” 的内容如下: | |
|
Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare. [ Hari Om Tat Sat. ] | |
| 大意就是：“敬拜 Krishna，敬拜 Rama”。这个“伟大咒语”一下子就赞颂了 “Vishnu” 的两大最重要的化身 (Avatar) ——“Krishna” 和 “Rama”（罗摩），当然，主要还是赞颂前者。“Chaitanya Mahaprabhu” 还留下了八段诗文，这些诗文被尊称为 “Sri Siksastakam”，它解释了为什么要 “赞颂 Krishna”。对于这个宗派来说，唱诵这些诗文也是日常修行的一部分。 |
