Essence of Devotional Service

gaurāńgera duṭi pada, jār dhana sampada,
se jāne bhakati-rasa-sār

Srila Prabhupada says in the purport to this beautiful song by Srila Narottam Das Thakur "This is a song by Narottama dasa Thakura in praise of the glories of Lord Caitanya. Gauranga refers to Lord Caitanya, who has a fair complexion. One who has a fair complexion is called gaura, and since Lord Caitanya was very fair, just like molten gold, He was also named Gaurasundara. Narottama dasa Thakura says, gaurangera duti pada, jar dhana-sampada, se jane bhakati-rasa-sar. Anyone who has accepted the two lotus feet of Lord Caitanya can understand the true essence of devotional service. "

when will a day come when i will accept the lotus feet of Chaitanya? Heart is filled up with material desires.. how will i clean up my heart ..  Narottam Das gives this way out also 


gaurāńgera madhura-līlā, jār karṇe praveśilā,
hṛdoya nirmala bhelo tār


Srila Prabhupada in the purport once again says "If one is captivated by the pastimes of Lord Caitanya, simply by chanting and dancing and eating prasada the dirty things in his heart will all become cleansed. The heart of anyone who takes to this movement of chanting, dancing, and eating krsna-prasada will surely be cleansed of all dirty material contamination. Narottama dasa Thakura says, very rightly, gaurangera madhura-lila, jar karne pravesila, hrdoya nirmala bhelo tar: if one wants to cleanse his heart, he must take to the movement of Lord Caitanya-Krsna consciousness."

My prayer today in the lotus feet of my revered lovable spiritual master is that  let my heart be captivated by the pasttimes of Lord Chaitanya
