स्वरसंजीवनीकिरणम्(Swarasanjīvanī Kiraṇam)


Just as the original rays of the moon (चन्द्रकिरणाः) infuse fruits and vegetables with their nourishing essence, endowing them with vitality and sweetness, the divine rays (कृपा-किरणाः) of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra pour into the hearts of the jīvas, filling them with the nectar of service (सेवारसः). This process revives the soul from its slumber in material existence and brings it into the realm of pure devotion (शुद्धभक्ति).

A fitting verse:

चन्द्रांशुशीतलः सर्वं पुष्यति वानस्पतिम् ।
हरिनामकृपाकिरणाः पुष्यन्ति हि जीवमानसम् ॥

"The cooling rays of the moon nourish all plant life,
Just as the rays of mercy from the Holy Name nurture the hearts of living beings."

The comparison illustrates the nourishing and transformative power of both the moon's rays on the physical plane and the spiritual potency of the Mahamantra, which illuminates and purifies the heart, fostering devotion and selfless service.
