A Diary While Attempting to Read Sri Caitanya-caritamrta.

"Cc. asraya" means to take shelter in the Caitanya-caritamrta. This is a diary written while attempting to find that shelter amid the beauty of living where pleasure boats sailed Lough Erne and a fresh breeze blew in through the windows. While the purple wildflowers turned to white puffballs and floated off on the wind, I found myself anchored to the reading of Cc. It was my polestar, and I found myself returning to it again and again. To read the Caitanya-caritamrta was the solace and success of my life.

Prabhupada´s books keep us Krsna conscious. There are so many methods of meditation, but of them all, hearing about Krsna - Lord Caitanya - by reading of His pastimes and teachings can help us both attain a state of prayer and remain in that state throughout the day. By taking shelter of the Cc. - or any of Prabhupada´s books - we gain the Lord´s association. Then prayer becomes an attitude permeating all we do. Reading thus becomes both the nourishment and enrichment of our spiritual lives. Cc. Asraya is a record of my own attempt to be enriched.
