The origins of the text known as Brahma-saṁhitā are lost in cosmic antiquity. According to Vedic tradition, these “Hymns of Brahmā” were recited or
sung countless millennia ago by the first created being in the universe, just
prior to the act of creation. The text surfaced and entered calculable history
early in the sixteenth century, when it was discovered by a pilgrim exploring
the manuscript library of an ancient temple in what is now Kerala state in
South India. Prior to the introduction of the printing press, texts like
Brahma-saṁhitā existed only in manuscript form, painstakingly handwritten by scribes and kept under brahminical custodianship in temples, where
often they were worshiped as śāstra-Deity, or God incarnate in holy scripture.
The pilgrim who rescued Brahma-saṁhitā from obscurity was no ordinary
pilgrim, and His pilgrimage was not meant, as is the custom, for self-purification but for world-purification. He was Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu—saint,
mystic, religious reformer, and full incarnation of the Supreme Lord, Śrī
Kṛṣṇa, descending into the present epoch for the salvation of all souls. At
the time of His discovery of the text, Śrī Caitanya was touring South India,
preaching His message of love of Kṛṣṇa and promulgating the practice of
saṅkīrtana, congregational singing of the holy names of God. Śrī Caitanya
commenced this tour shortly after becoming a monk (sannyāsī), at age
twenty-four, and the tour lasted approximately two years. After a southward journey from Purī (in Orissa State) that carried Him to holy places such
as Śrī Raṅga-kṣetra, Setubandha Rāmeśvara, and finally Kanyākumārī (Cape
Comorin), he turned northward and, traveling along the bank of the
Payasvini River in Travancore state, reached the temple of Ādi-keśava in
Trivandrum district.
Śrī Caitanya’s principal biographer, Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī, writes in
Caitanya-caritāmṛta (Madhya-līlā, Ch. 9) that upon beholding the holy image of Ādi-keśava (Kṛṣṇa) in the temple, Caitanya was overwhelmed with
spiritual ecstasy, offered fervent prayers, and chanted and danced in rapture, a wondrous sight that was received with astonished appreciation by
the devotees there. After discussing esoteric spiritual matters among some
highly advanced devotees present, Śrī Caitanya found “one chapter of the
Brahma-saṁhitā” (what we now have as Brahma-saṁhitā is, according to
tradition, only one of a hundred chapters composing an epic work lost to
humanity). Upon discovering the manuscript, Śrī Caitanya felt great ecstasy
and fell into an intense mystic rapture that overflowed onto the physical
realm, producing a profusion of tears, trembling, and perspiration. (We
would search the literature of the world in vain to find a case in which the
discovery of a lost book inspired such unearthly exhilaration!) Intuiting the
Brahma-saṁhitā to be a “most valuable jewel,” He employed a scribe in
hand-copying the manuscript and departed with the copy..

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
