Today, as, like kajjala-splendid sapphires scattered by sea waves on the shore, like a great forest of many-leaved tamla trees seen from a cave of Nlcala mountain, and like an intoxicated elephant playing deep in a banyan forest, Lord Jaganntha went on procession to Guic, and as the entire universe became filled with jubilant calls of "jaya! jaya!" from mouths of men in every direction, and as blissful-hearted devotees filled the directions with a tumult of bhagavat-krtana, and as women filled the directions with shouts of joy, and as there was a deafening tumult of sweet mdagas, vigorous paahas, mahpaas, paavas, many akks and akkras, and deep bhers, bhktis, and dundubhis, I was suddenly approached by Lord Jaganntha's servant, King Pratparudra, whose heart was wounded by the disappearance of Lord r Ka Caitanya, and who said to me:

Vaisnava Folio Archives The Lord says (rmad-Bhgavatam 3.25.35-36): "My devotees always see the smiling face of My form, with eyes like the rising sun. They like to see My various transcendental forms, which are all benevolent, and they also talk favorably with Me. Upon seeing My charming forms, smiling and attractive, and hearing My very pleasing words, the pure devotee almost loses other consciousness. His senses are freed from all other engagements, and he becomes absorbed in devotional service. Thus in spite of his unwillingness, he gets liberation without separate endeavor."* This is the liberation the devotees attain. They do not attain impersonal liberatiion. Lord Kapila says (rmad-Bhgavatam 3.25.32): "When the service spirit is engaged in devotional service to the Personality of Godhead, without any motive, that is far better even than impersonal salvation."* In Kali-yuga by chanting the Lord's holy name one attains the ecstatic love known as "rati", which eclipses all other goals of life.

This, the philosophy of r Ka Caitanya, defeats all other philosophies. The pious and wise agree with Him. His incarnation has made the Kali-yuga auspicious.

When He says He is Janrdana (He who rescuses the living entities from sufferings), she interprets it backwards as "He who torments the living entities".

(Advaita enters.) Advaita: Now the materialists, overwhelmed by the material senses, and the devotees, overwhelmed by the presence of the Lord, have both attained the same condition of love of God. On the day the Supreme Personality of Godhead appeared in this world I danced in ecstatic joy, but today when I hear from someone's mouth that the Supreme Lord has entered this world I believe and doubt at the same time. The all-powerful, supremely opulent Personality of Godhead is now known as Vivambhara. The Supreme Lord, who is expert at unfolding the many dramas of the creation and annihilation of many millions of universes, and whose nectarlike fame, handsomeness, and pastimes destroy the darkness of ignorance in the living entities' hearts in this world, now displays His transcendental pastimes. Without His mercy He cannot be understood. He is not understood by pratyaka (direct perception), anumna (mental speculation), upamna (analogy), abda (Vedas), arthpatti (inference), aitihya (Puras and Vedic histories), and other kinds of evidence. Now He has manifest in this world the transcendental dance of His pastimes, which even I cannot understand. Some will be bewildered by His pastimes, some will debate their nature, and some will understand the secrets of His pastimes. (He looks up.) Ah, the sun kisses the western horizon.

We have never seen the Bhacrya eat prasdam in this way before. He was like a madman. Without giving a moment's thought he devoured that prasdam at once. He had not bathed. He had not even washed his mouth. After he ate the prasdam he became like a madman. The hairs of his body stood up. Tears flowed from his eyes and moistened his garments. His voice became choked up. He became overwhelmed by some sickness, forgot everything, and began to roll about on the ground. I do not know what will happen now.

Vaisnava Folio Archives The word "brahman" comes from the verbal root bh", and so Brahman means either "the greatest", or He who protects all living entities." These two meanings indicate that Brahman is a person with qualities. They who repeat the theory that Brahman has no qualities do not understand this.

By the supreme transcendental bliss the living entities are maintained. Into the Supreme transcendental bliss the living entities enter at the time of cosmic anihilation.) By the use of the word "nanda" (bliss) in the ablative and instrumental cases, the ruti-stra confirms that the Supreme Brahman has the quality of bliss. The ruti-stra also explains: "yato v imni bhtni jyante" (From the Supreme Brahman all living entities were born.), "Sa aikata" (The Supreme Brahman cast His glance.), and "So 'kmayata" (The Supreme Brahman desired.) These references to
Vaisnava Folio Archives glancing and desiring also confirm that the Supreme Brahman possesses qualities. The ruti-stra further says: "Jyotia carabhidhnt (The Supreme Brahman has a spiritual form.) The word "jyotia" here means "not material". The form of the Supreme Brahman is not material. In spite of all evidence to the contrary, the voidists and impersonalitsts will still insist that the Supreme Brahman has no qualities. They are wrong. The word "brahman" literally means "the supremely opulent Personlity of Godhead". The Personal nature of the Supreme Brahman is also described in the following statement of rmad-Bhagavatam (1.7.11): vadanti tat tattva-vidas tattvam yaj jnam advayam brahmeti paramtmeti bhagavn iti abyate "Learned transcendentalists who know the Absolute Truth call this nondual substance Brahman, Paramtm or Bhagavn."* As a man is haunted by a ghost, these impersonalists are haunted by the desire to establish their philosophy. In this way they reject the obvious meaning of the scriptures and try to establish their own fanciful and untenable conclusion that the Absolute has neither qualities nor personality. All their arguments are a useless waste of time.

Bliss with a form is the shelter and resting place of the formless bliss. The bliss with a form is the infallible Personality of Godhead Lord Ka. The learned devotees know that the word "brahman" refers to 1. the formless Brahman, 2. the all-pervading Supersoul, 3. the form of transcendental knowledge, 4. The Supreme Personality of Godhead whose spiritual form is beyond the touch of the modes of material nature, and 5. the individual spirit soul (jva). They who know the truth say there is no real difference between the formless bliss and the transcendental bliss with form. The Vedas say these two are different in the same way as a jewel and its splendor are different."

The impersonalists try to prove that the Supreme Brahman is formless bliss. All they
Vaisnava Folio Archives actually prove, however, is that their hearts are very hard. The statement of the Pacartra: "nandam brahmao rpam" (the form of the Supreme Brahman is full of bliss.) and the statement of ruti-stra: "ekam evdvityam brahma" (Brahman is one without a second) prove that the personal and impersonal Brahman are two aspects of the same Supreme. This is confirmed by the statement of the Pancartra: "The personal and impersonal Brahman are different in the same way as a jewel and its splendor are different." In this way all Vedic scriptures say there is no difference between the personal and impersonal aspects of the Supreme, and therefore the Supreme Brahman is in truth the Personality of Godhead, Lord Ka. Some philosophers say that the Supreme Brahman is formless bliss, and it is because of material contamination that one thinks of Him as a blissful person who enjoys transcedental pastimes. The words of the Pacartra do not support this view, but rather glorify the worship of the personal form of the Supreme. This worship of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the actual message of the Vedas. The way the message of the Four Vedas should be understood is explained in the following verse: Text 256 kh sahasra nigama-drumasya pratyaka-siddho na samagra ea pura-vkyair avigta-iacarai ca tasyvayavo 'numeya khbranches; sahasrathusands; nigamaof the vedas; drumasyaof the tree; pratyaka-siddhaperfectly clear; nanot; samagraall; eait; puraof the puranas; vkyaiby teh words; avigta-ia-caraiexplained; caand; tasyaof it; avayavalimb; anumeyaconsidered "The spiritual message propounded in the thousand limbs of the tree of the Vedas is not always perfectly clear to see.

There is no limit to their fortune because the Absolute Truth, the source of transcendental bliss, the eternal Supreme Brahman, has become their friend."* Text 258 pra rpatvena nirviea tu brahma apram. nirpam ity artha. ias tu satvata. te mata vsudeva-par devat vsudeva-part partmana sakarao jva ity di. jvayati jva karotti jva. na tu svaya jva. sa ctm abda-brahma para-brahma mamobhe vat tan iti tad-ukte. tasmd eva jva-sir ity artha. ato mrtnanda eva ka iti strrtha. prafull; rpatvenawith form; nirvieawithout qualities; tuindeed; brahmabrahman; apramnot full; nirpamdescription; itithus; arthathe meaning; iaremaining; tuindeed; satvatadevotees; teof them; matathe opinion; vsudeva-pardevoted to Vsudeva; devatDeity; vsudeva-partdevoted to Vsudeva; partmanathe Supersoul; sakaraaSakaraa; jvathe living entity; itithus; dibeginning; jvayaticauses to live; jvalife; karotidoes; itithus; jvajiva; nanot; tubut; svayampersonally; jvaa jiva; saHe; caand; tmthe Supreme; abdathe words; brahmaVedas; para-brahmathe supreme Brahman; mamaMy; ubheboth; vateternal; tanforms; itithus; tad-uktefrom that statement; tasmtfrom that; evaindeed; jvaof the jivas; sithe creation; itithus; arthathe meaning; atathen; mrtaform; nandabliss; evaindeed; kaKa; itithus; straof the scriptures; arthathe meaning. The personal form of the Supreme Brahman is here called "pram" or "full". From this we may understand that the impersonal conception of the Supreme Brahman is
Vaisnava Folio Archives "apram", not full or incomplete. That is the opinion of the saintly and pure-hearted. In the scriptural statement "vsudeva-par devat vsudeva-part paramtmana sakarao jva" (The demigods are devotees of Lord Vsudeva. From the Supreme Lord Vsudeva is manifested Lord Sakaraa, who gives life to the jvas.) The word "jva" here means "He who gives life to the jvas". It does not mean that Lord Sakaraa is Himself a jva soul. The word "tm" here means either the name or form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. That the Supreme Personality of Godhead and His name are identical is confirmed by Lord Ka in thyese words: I have two forms: My transcendental body and My holy name." The world "jiva" here should be understood to mean "the creator of the jvas." In this way the message of the Vedic scriptures is that Lord Ka is the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Brhmaa: In that place lived a brhmaa named Vsudeva who was afflicted with leprosy. All his limbs were covered with worms, blood and pus. He suffered acutely. Whenever a worm fell from his body, he would pick it up and put it back. He was a great devotee, his mind always absorbed in thinking of the Lord. Still, he was humble and would never claim he was a great devotee. When Lord Caitanya met him, He embraced him with His long arms as if he were a dear friend He had not seen for a long time. Then the brhmaa quoted this verse from rmad Bhagavatam: Text 43 kvha daridra ppyn kva ka r-niketana brahma-bandhur iti smha bahbhy parirambhita kvawhere?; ahamam I; daridrapoor; ppynsinful; kvawhere?; kaLord Ka; r-niketanafull in six opulences; brahma-bandhufriend of a brahmana; itithus; smaindeed; ahamI; bahbhymwith His arms; parirambhitaembraced.

After reciting this verse he became at once cured of leprosy and his body became splendidly handsome. He then said: "My Lord, how did I get a body like this? My body was overtaken by disease and now it is completely cured. I am afraid that now my mind will become filled with pride". And I will be again attracted to the material world". The Lord then said: "O brhmaa, never again will You forget the Lord and never again will your heart become involved in the external things of this world. Why should you be anxious?"

He was like a splendid golden mountain filling the south with waves of light. The waves of mercy from His glance made the hearts of all living entities melt with love of Ka. As He walked He chanted:
Vaisnava Folio Archives "Ka ka jaya ka ka he ka ka jaya ka he ka ka jaya ka ka he ka ka jaya ka he ka ka jaya ka phi na!" He chanted these words in a voice like thunder.

Brhmaa: Then Lord Caitanya, who enchants the entire world, and who is very merciful, rested on the shore of the Godvar River. He was like a golden ketak flower with a sweet fragrance spread in all directions. When the brhmaas saw the self-effulgent Lord they became attracted by His transcendental potency, and they came near Him. When they saw the Lord's transcendental form, which was filled with love of Ka, and which was a jewel-mine of all transcendental virtues, they exclaimed: "Who is this? Who is this? The brhmaas then met together and discussed what they had just seen. Attracted by their words, and appearing like a man possessed, Rmnanda Raya, struck with wonder, and his appearance filling others with wonder also, approached Lord Caitanya.

Brhmaa: Rmnanda then approached the Lord and, with tears in his eyes, fell down before the Lord's lotus feet. The Lord then mercifully said: "Ah, you are Rmnanda?" Rmnanda said: "Yes, I am Rmnanda." The Lord said, "Following Srvabhauma's instructions, I have come here to see you. I will sit beside you. I will ask questions, and you will give answers. Who is the Supreme Personality of Godhead? What is His name? What are His glories? What is the shelter of everything? What is the Absolute Truth?" In this way Lord Caitanya spent a long time asking questions about the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Immersed in the happiness of transcendental friendship, Rmnanda confidently recited the following verse to answer the Lord's questions. He said, "If one cannot control his mind, then what is the use of performing austerities? If the mind is not fixed in thought of Lord Mdhava (Ka), then what is the use of controlling the mind? If

Brhmaa: Rmnanda then divided the hair on his head into two parts. Falling down before Lord Caitanya, and placing His parted hair around His lotus feet, Rmnanda said: "You are the charming king of they who relish transcendental mellows. You are the charming teacher of the transcendental pastimes of dancing. You are the Lord of the heart. Who has the power to properly glorify You? It is natural for You to assume many different forms, but this form of a sannys is not very natural for You. This sannys form of Yours is very surprising for me." Rmnanda grasped Lord Caitanya's feet and cried for a long time. At last he finally said: "Has my destiny brought me a mine of precious jewels, or to a flood of nectar flowing from the moon? O Lord, now I am able to see Your lotus feet, which are the ripe fruits of the tree of transcendental bliss. O Lord, what I had previously seen in a dream I am now able to see directly." Rmnanda then again clutched the Lord's lotus feet and began to cry, and Lord Caitanya responded by embracing Rmnanda. Then one of Rmnanda Rya's brhmaa ministers approached and said: Lord, the afternoon is now beginning." Lord Caitanya then left to perform His midday duties. We bowed down before His lotus feet, and on that day we began our return journey. Text 89 srvabhauma: tad adhun virmyat bhavadbhi. tatthen; adhunnow; virmyatmshould be rested; bhavadbhiby you.

The atheists then took some impure food fit only for dogs, and placed it before the sannys, saying, "O svm, please accept this bhagavat-prasdam." Even though, He knew all that had happened, when He heard the words "bhagavat-prasdam" He could not reject it, but instead He took the plate of food in His hand. At that moment a great bird swooped down, took the plate from the His hand, and with the plate in its beak, flew away.

Mallabhaa: Another time He saw a brhmaa staying at home and chanting the holy names Rma Rma Rma. When the Lord arrived there the brhmaa suddenly started chanting Ka Ka Ka. The Lord then asked him: "O brhmaa, at first you were chanting Rma, Rma, Rma, and now you are all of a sudden chanting Ka Ka Ka instead. Please tell Me why you have changed." The brhmaa replied: "O Lord, since childhood I am devoted to chanting the holy name Rma. Somehow or other, however, when I see You, the names Ka Ka Ka spontaneously come from my mouth. I have no power to stop these names of Ka. It is not my fault that these names of Ka come from me. They come only because I have seen You".

The name Rma is described in the scriptures in these words: "The Supreme Absolute Truth is called Rma because the transcendentalists take

In this way although Ka and Rma are the same because they are both names of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, still the name Rma refers to Lord Rmacandra, and the name Ka refers to the son of the king of Vraja. Because r Ka Caitanyadeva is Lord
Vaisnava Folio Archives Ka Himself, when the brhmaa saw Him, the name Ka spontaneously appeared on his mouth. That is the secret meaning of these activities. The glory of Ka's name is also described in these words of the scriptures: Text 118 api ca sahasra-nmabhis tulya rma-nma varnane sahasra-nmn puyn trir-vttya tu yat phalam ekvttya tu kasya nmaika tat prayacchati iti rma-nmata ka-nma reya. api cafurthermore; sahasra-nmabhiwith thousands of names; tulyamequal; rma-nmathe name of Rma; varnaneO Prvat; sahasra-nmnmof thousands of names; puynmpure; trir-vttyathree times; tubut; yatwhat; phalamresult; ekvttyaone time; tuindeed; kasyaof Ka; nmaname; ekamone; tatthat; prayacchatigives; itithus; rma-nmatathan the name Rma; kaof Ka; nmathe name; reyabetter. "This holy name of Lord Rmacandra is equal to one thousand names of Lord Viu.

Mallabhaa: That is the truth. I have often explained these points in the royal assembly. Still, in the south most Vaiavas are devoted to Lord Rmacandra. Because Lord Rmacandra enjoyed many pastimes in the Pacavat forest and other places in the south, the devotees' attachment to Him is perfectly natural. Now when they see this regal
Vaisnava Folio Archives sannys in their midst, they become devoted to Lord Ka. At one place the Lord saw an uneducated brhmaa reciting the Bhagavad-gt with great effort and very bad pronunciation. Although everyone weas laughing at him, seeing that this brhmaa was overcome with ecstatic love of Ka, and was shedding tears and the hairs of his body were standing erect, the Lord declared this brhmaa to be a pure devotee of Lord Ka (uttama-adhikari). The Lord said to him: "Brhmaa, what are you reciting?" The brhmaa replied: "My Lord, I do not know the meaning of the words. What I do know is that when I recite these words of Bhagavad-gt I see standing before me Lord Ka, whose complexion is dark as a tamla tree. I see Him standing on Arjuna's chariot, the reins in His hand." The Lord then said "You are the best scholar of Bhagavad-gt" and embraced him. At that moment the brhmaa felt bliss much greater then he felt when reciting Bhagavad-gt. He said: "Lord, You are the same Ka", and overwhelmed, fell to the ground to offer respects to the Lord.

When one sees the blissful, all knowing form of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one's senses, heart, and mind all become stunned with transcendental bliss. They who reject the Lord's personal form and instead meditate on something formless in their hearts are bewildered. They do not understand the truth of the Personality of Godhead. Their hearts are filled with material desires.

Srvabhauma: Lord, that is right. What you have said is confirmed by the Vednta-stra, which says: "nandamayo 'bhyst" (The Supreme is full of bliss, and He gives bliss to others.) The affix "maya" in "nandamaya" means both "possessor" and "giver", just as wealthy philanthropist possesses wealth and also gives it to others. If one attains the Supreme Lord's mercy, he becomes able to give up the impersonalist idea of the Supreme and understand the transcendental sweetness of Supreme Person's spiritual form.

Gopntha: (looks) Ah! How glorious is Lord Caitanya's tasting of the mellows of transcendental love! At the time of His dancing He directly saw Lord Jaganntha, and this sight of the Lord has brought Him a transcendental bliss far more wonderful than the brahmnanda bliss of the impersonalitsts. In the two lines He quoted, the word "atha" (now) means "now that we have understood the conclusion of all revealed scriptures", "ata" (therefore) means "because this happiness is far more wonderful than the happiness experienced by the impersonalitsts, therefore. . ." and has" means "the great devotees who can distinguish what is valuable and what is not". These devotees take shelter (rayeran) of Lord Ka's lotus feet (padmbujam). Why? Because the Lord's lotus feet are the source of all transcendental bliss (nanda-dugham). Text 222

Man: At that time, by the arrangement of providence, ivnanda Sena, a personal associate of Lord Caitanya, came to that place. Hearing about Nakula Brahmacr, ivnanda felt doubt in his heart. He desired to see Nakula Brahmacr with his own eyes. He thought: "Why should I be eager to see Nakula Brahmacr, when I can directly see Lord Caitanya Himself? Will I become like these people, overcome with happiness to see Nakula Brahmacr? I think not." Again in his heart he thought: "If I stay far from the crowds around him, and he personally calls me to him and tells me my worshipable mantra, then I will know it is true
Vaisnava Folio Archives that Lord Caitanya has personally entered within him." Thinking this, he went there and stayed far away from the crowds. At the very moment ivnanda arrived at the outskirts of that place, Nakula Brahmacr suddenly became silent. He said: "Who, who has come here? At this moment ivnanda is in the outskirts of this place. He should be called here". On this order many men went searching for ivnanda and calling for him by name. They found huim and brought him tp Nakula Brahmacr. Nakula then said to him: "O ivnanda, please listen with all your heart. Your worshipable mantra is the four-syllable Gaura-Gopla mantra." When ivnanda heard this he believed that it was true that Lord Caitanya had entered Nakula Brahmacr's heart.

At that time, in the company of Paramnanda Pur, Svarpa Dmodara, and the other devotees, Lord Caitanya, the only friend of the entire world, cheerfully said to rknta: "Please tell Advaita Acrya and the other great devotees they should not come to see Me this year. I will go to see them. Tell your uncle ivnanda that I will come to see him in the month of December. Jagadnanda is there and he will give Me offerings of food". When rknta repeated the Lord's orders to them, Advaita Acrya and all the other devotees immediately stopped all arrangements to travel to see the Lord. When he heard the Lord wished to come, ivnanda gathered ka, moca, and other ingredients for cooking the Lord's favorite foods, and patiently waited for the Lord's arrival.

Man: Then Nsihnanda said: "Please wait patiently. In two days I will bring Him here". Aware of Nsihnanda's spiritual potency, ivnanda believed him. From that time Nsihnanda, who was very pleasing to Lord Nsihadeva, became absorbed in meditation on Lord Caitanya. After two days he called for ivnanda and said to him: "I have now brought Lord Caitanya to Rghava Paita's home. Tomorrow morning He will come here. I will personally cook for Him. Please give to me all kinds of cooking ingredients. Hearing this, ivnanda gave him all kinds of cooking ingredients. The next day Nsihnanda arose at dawn, bathed, and being very pure and clean, cooked Lord Caitanya's favorite foods. When the cooking was completed, he divided it in three parts for his Deities of Lord Caitanya, Lord Jaganntha and Lord Nsiha. After he had offered the food to the three Deities, he left the Deity room. He then closed his eyes in meditation and saw Lord Caitanya eat all three offerings. At that moment Nsihnanda became full of bliss and tears flowed from his eyes. Filled with the anger of love, he then loudly rebuked the Lord, saying, "Well done! Oh well done! You are one with Jaganntha, so You may eat His offering, but why do You eat the food I offered to Lord Nsiha? Now Lord Nsiha must fast!" Then he began to cry loudly. ivnanda approached him and said, My lord, why are you crying?" Text 39 str: tado tado.

Man: Then ivnanda said to him, "Please cook again for Lord Nsiha." Nsihnanda did that, and became happy and cheerful again. At that time ivnanda in his heart began to doubt, "Is this appearance of Lord Caitanya simply a story made up by Nsihnanda, or is it the truth?" In another year ivnanda went to Puruottama-ketra and again met Lord Caitanya. When Nsihnanda was present, Lord Caitanya praised him and specifically mentioned his excellent cooking. Before the doubting devotees Lord Caitanya praised the offering Nsihnanda gave Him during December of the previous year. Lord Caitanya insisted that He had gone to Nsihnanda's home to see how expert he was in the art of cooking. When everyone heard this, they doubted that Lord Caitanya had actually gone to Nsihnanda's home. At that moment ivnanda became free from all doubts. He believed the Lord. In this way I have described the three ways the Lord shows His mercy.

Man: Then, the hairs of His body standing erect, and tears flowing from His eyes, this person said in a voice choked with emotion, "I am very fortunate. Now I will be able to serve the Supreme Lord". At that moment a boat equipped with a cabin and carrying some honest men as passengers, arrived at that place on the shore. The passengers disambarked, the pilot washed the boat, and when the boat was
Vaisnava Folio Archives cleansed, he said to the passengers, "Now you may come aboard again". Then the Lord and the other passangers entered the boat. Concerned about the presence of pirates on the river, the Lord personally stayed at the boat's prow chanting various mantras for protection. When they reached the village of Picchanada, the Lord called out "Hari bol!" and distributed Lord Jaganntha's manohara-lau prasdam to everyone. In this way the Lord manifested the symptoms of a pure devotee.

Then the Lord arrived rvsa Paita's house in Kumrahaa. As the Lord walked from house to house on the Ganges' shore, the people, eager to gather the dust of His feet with their hands, made great holes in the path. When the Lord disembarked, Jagadnanda, unseen by Him, went to ivnanda's house. The Lord then entered rvsa's house, and, out of great love for His devotee, stayed there a very long time.

In this way He gradually reached ivnanda's house.

Jagadnanda had decorated the sides of the path to ivnanda's house with banana tree, full water pots, flower buds, and lamps. When Lord Caitanya saw all this, He smiled, thinking, "Jagadnanda has done this". Seeing Vsudeva's house on the left, the Lord became doubtful of what to do, and He asked, "Should I continue on?" Vsudeva then replied, "Lord, ivnanda's nicely decorated house is ahead". When the Lord entered the house, Jagadnanda washed His feet, and sprinkled the water on his family and friends. Then, after staying for a moment at Vsudeva's house, the Lord again entered a boat and continued His journey. In order to obtain the water touched by the Lord's feet, the people then entered the water up to their necks. Seeing them, the Lord became merciful. In this way they all obtained the water that touched the Lord's feet. As He traveled everyone followed Him on the shore and no one turned back. Text 103

Then, followed by a large crowd, the Lord entered the capitol of the king of Bengal on the farther shore of the Ganges. When the king of Bengal saw this he became struck with wonder. He asked, "What is this?" His minister Keava Vsu replied, "O king, this is an exalted personality named r Ka Caitanya. He is now traveling from Puruottama-ketra to Mathur. The people following Him are very eager to see Him". Then the king said, "He must be the Supreme Personality of Godhead to have so many
Vaisnava Folio Archives people following Him". I heard that after traveling a little further, the Lord turned back and did not continue His journey by that path, but, after returning to Puruottama-ketra, went to Mathur by the forest path.

Althought the Lord was transcendentally situated in His transcendental eternal form, at Prayga, He told Rpa Gosvm about trancendental ecstatic love of Ka. The Lord then embraced him very fondly and bestowed all His mercy upon him.* Text 141 rj: srvabhauma. ati-prestha-vndvano 'pi katham asau svalpam eva kla tatrvatasthe. srvabhaumaO Sarvabhauma; ati-presthavery dear; vndvanaVrndavana; apialthough; kathamwhy?; asauHe; svalpamshort; evaindeed; klamtime; tatrathere; avatasthestayed.

Gandharva: One year before Lord Caitanya went to Mathur, as thousands of devotees were traveling to Puruottama-ketra, a dog began faithfully to follow ivnanda. Seeing the dog faithfully following him, ivnanda began to look after it. At mealtime he fed the dog, not with leftovers, but with food especially cooked for it. When the travelers had to take a ferry across a river, ivnanda paid the boatman extra to carry the dog. In this way the dog faithfully followed ivnanda every day. Then, one day, when the journey was already three-fourths over, ivnanda's servant forgot to give the dog its food. From that time on on one could find the dog anywhere. The grief-stricken ivnanda called out: "Alas! Today my dog was not fed!" ivnanda went here and there calling out the dog's name, but he could not find it anywhere. All the way to Puruottama-ketra ivnanda could not find the dog. In his heart he became filled with grief. Then, by the will of providence, he again saw the dog. The dog was at Puruottama-ketra, on the beach near Lord Caitanya. When he saw the dog, ivnanda at once bowed down to become free from any offenses he had committed to it. Lord Caitanya was then throwing pieces of Jaganntha-prasdam coconut-pulp to the dog, and ordering it, "Say the word Ka.'". The dog was eating the pieces of coconut pulp one by one, and it was also chanting "Ka, Ka, Ka". When ivnanda saw all this he again bowed down to the dog to become free from his offenses to it. After that incident no one could see the dog anywhere. I think the dog must have attained another body and entered the spiritual world.

Gandharva: One year my master Advaita Acrya and the other devotees traveled on the path to Puruottama-ketra, and as usual ivnanda led them and dealt with all the toll-collectors. One day, when King Pratparudra was in the south, the leader of the toll-collectors, an independent-minded minister in the king's cabinet, came to the town of Remu. Counting all the devotees, that wicked fellow demanded a very large toll, far more than what had been asked in any previous year, and after all was said and and done he had ivnanda put in chains as a criminal. My master Advaita Acrya and the other devotees were so upset they could not do any of their regular activities that day.

Gandharva: Then, when four hours of the night had passed, one of the guards called for ivnanda. Fearing that he was about to be beaten, ivnanda meditated on Lord Caitanya's feet as he walked there with Vallabha Bhaa. Seeing the minister risen from sleep and surrounded by many men bearing torches, ivnanda became afraid. The minister asked him, "You have come here with all these men? "Yes". ivnanda replied. "Who is your master?" The minister said.
Vaisnava Folio Archives "r Ka Caitanya", ivnanda replied. The minister then said: "You are the servant of r Ka Caitanya, and I am the servant of Lord Jaganntha. Who is greater: Caitanya or Jaganntha? "My Ka Caitanya is greater", ivnanda replied. When he heard this, the minister became very happy. He was very humble, as if he had committed a grave offense. He said: "I dreamed last night that I saw r Ka Caitanya and He said to me: `You have shackled my servant. Set him free at once'. I am a great offender. Please forgive me. There is no need for you to pay any toll. In the morning you may all happily rise and peacefully go on your way". Saying this, the minister turned to two torch-bearing guards and said, "Stay and protect this man and his friends from any harm". After that, on the following morning, my master Advaita Acrya and and all the devotees performed their morning duties and continued their journey.

Raghuntha dsa is a disciple of Yadunandana Acrya, who is very gentle and is extremely dear to Vsudeva Datta, a resident of Kcanapall. Because of Raghuntha dsa's transcendental qualities, he is always more dear than life for all of us devotees of r Caitanaya Mahprabhu. Since he has been favored by the abundant mercy of r Caitanya Mahprabhu, he is always pleasing. Vividly providing a superior example for the renounced order, this very dear follower of Svarpa Dmodara Gosvm is the ocean of renunciation. Who among the residents of Nlcala [Jaganntha Pur] does not know him very well?*
