During Kartik-vrata, Srila Gurudeva, Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, would speak on Sri Damodarastakam, Bhajana-rahasya, Upadesamrta, Manah-Siksa, and especially Sri Siksastakam. When speaking on Siksastakam, Srila Gurudeva would describe the connection between the mahamantra, asta-kaliya-lila, and Siksastakam.
We first chant: Hare Krsna. When chanting the first pair of holy names in the mahamantra, the sadhaka should remember the essence of the first verse of Siksastakam, beginning with Ceto-darpana-marjanam. We then pray, "O Hare! Please purify my contaminated mind and heart. Remove my sinful tendencies and prarabdha-aprarabdha-karma and bring me to the lotus feet of Sri Krsna. O Krsna! Kindly bring me into the guidance of Your associates. May this perpetual forest fire of material life cease at once.
"Mercifully offer me into the shelter of Lalita-devi. If she accepts me into her group, then surely Visakha-devi will think about my sreyah, highest good, and will instruct me. Citra-devi, the presiding deity of para-vidya, will bestow upon me all transcendental knowledge. I will then understand how to serve Radha-Krsna and will accept Them as my life and soul. Campakalata-sakhi will happily teach me how to increase the bliss, ananda, of Radha-Krsna. Tungavidya-sakhi will protect and look after me at every step, prati-padam, and will show me how to engage at every moment in assisting the amorous pastimes of Radha-Krsna in the groves of Vraja-nikunja-yuno rati-keli-siddhyai.
Then, by the instruction of Srimati Radharani, Indulekha, Rangadevi, and Sudevi will submerge me in ananda-rasa and engage me in service. The asta-sakhis in this way will teach me how to serve and offer myself to the lotus feet of Srimati Radharani. Krsna will then accept me and prema-nama-sankirtana will manifest in my heart." The sadhaka prays, "O Hare, Srimatiji, please engage me in Your service and give me the qualification to perform krsna-kirtana."
This description of the moods when praying and chanting the mahamantra in relation to Siksastakam is only a glimpse-a distant darsana, like sakha-candra-nyaya, the logic of pointing out the moon on the branch. By strong spiritual practice we will experience these moods and fully appreciate them.
We pray to Mahaprabhu because without His mercy we will not be able to chant the mahamantra purely with these moods. Then we will understand the deep meanings of the mahamantra in connection with asta-kaliya-lila.
