Namacarya Srila Haridasa Thakura

Why is Srila Haridasa Thakura heralded as namacarya – one who, by example, teaches the world to chant the holy name? Because his blissful absorption in chanting, even in the face of severe adversity, does not waver for a fraction of a moment. This small book, compiled for our eternal benefit by Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, consists of eighteen pastimes of Srila Haridasa Thakura, as narrated in Sria Caitanya-caritamrta, Sri Caitanya-bhagavata and other books. With the insightful commentaries of Srila Srasvati Thakura Prabhupada woven throughout, these documented accounts of Srila Haridasa Thakura life illuminate his astonishing humility, dedication, magnanimity, devotion and numerous other transcendental qualities, and strengthen our relationship with him. By his mercy, we are filled with the hope that one day we, also, will become internally resolute in our chanting of the holy name.
