The Passing of Haridas Thakur

By Drutakarma Das

There he passed almost the whole day and night simply chanting the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahā-mantra. He softly repeated the sacred syllables hour after hour, keeping count on his prayer beads until, long after sunset, the holy names had crossed his lips no less than three hundred thousand times.

Not far from Haridāsa Ṭhākura’s secluded hermitage lived Lord Caitanya and His followers, who loudly chanted the mahā-mantra, proclaiming the glories of Kṛṣṇa. People honored Lord Caitanya as an extraordinary devotee, and a select few knew that He was an incarnation of Kṛṣṇa, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, and that He had come to this world to spread the chanting of the maha-mantra.
