Antya 10: Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Accepts Prasadam from His Devotees

Chapter 10:

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Accepts Prasadam from His Devotees

The following summary of Chapter Ten is given by Bhaktivinoda Thakura in

his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya. Before the Ratha-yatra ceremony, all the

devotees from Bengal started for Jagannatha Puri as usual. Raghava

Pandita brought with him various kinds of food for Sri Caitanya

Mahaprabhu. The food had been cooked by his sister, Damayanti, who then

packed it in bags (jhali). Thus the stock of food was generally known as

raghavera jhali, "the bags of Raghava." Makaradhvaja Kara, an inhabitant

of Panihati who accompanied Raghava Pandita, was the secretary in charge

of accounting for the raghavera jhali.

The day when all the devotees arrived at Jagannatha Puri, Lord Govinda

was enjoying sporting pastimes in the waters of the lake known as

Narendra-sarovara. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu also enjoyed the ceremony in

the water with His devotees. As previously, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

performed the cleansing ceremony at Gundica and chanted the famous verse

jagamohana-pari-munda yau. After kirtana ended, He distributed prasadam

to all the devotees and also took some Himself. Then He lay down at the

door of the Gambhira to take rest. Somehow or other Govinda, the

personal servant of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, crossed over the Lord's

body and massaged His feet. Govinda could not go out that day, however,

and therefore he was unable to accept prasadam. From the character of

Govinda it is to be learned that we may sometimes commit offenses for

the service of the Lord, but not for sense gratification.

Govinda induced the Lord to eat all the food delivered by the devotees

of Bengal for His service. All the Vaisnavas used to invite Sri Caitanya

Mahaprabhu to their homes. The Lord accepted the invitation of Caitanya

dasa, the son of Sivananda Sena, and ate rice and yogurt there.

PURPORT

Because of pure love, the devotees of Krsna in Goloka Vrndavana,

Vrajabhumi, loved Krsna as an ordinary human being like them. Yet

although they considered Krsna one of them, their love for Krsna knew no

bounds. Similarly, because of extreme love, devotees like Raghava

Pandita and his sister, Damayanti, thought of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu as

a human being, but their love for Him was boundless. By overeating, an

ordinary human being becomes prone to a disease called amla-pitta, which

is a product of indigestion characterized by acidity of the stomach.

Damayanti thought that such a condition would afflict Sri Caitanya

Mahaprabhu.

devotional service; suksma marma -- finer principles; caitanyera krpaya -

TRANSLATION

These are some of the finer points of etiquette in devotional service.

Only one who has received the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu can

understand these principles.

PURPORT

Karmis, fruitive workers, cannot understand the finer conclusions of

devotional service because they accept only its ritualistic value but do

not understand how devotional service satisfies the Supreme Personality

of Godhead. The karmis view the formalities as a means of advancing in

religion, economic development, sensual satisfaction and liberation.

Although these are only material results of following religious

principles, the karmis consider them everything. Such ritualistic

activities are called karma. Karmis who adopt devotional service very

loosely and who therefore remain on the platform of material activities

are called prakrta-sahajiyas. They cannot understand how pure devotional

service is rendered in parental and conjugal love, for this can be

understood only by the special mercy bestowed by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

upon pure devotees.

They would extend invitations to the Lord. Vasudeva Datta, Gadadhara

dasa, Murari Gupta, the inhabitants of Kulina-grama and Khanda and many

other devotees who were not brahmanas by caste would purchase food

offered to Lord Jagannatha and then extend invitations to Sri Caitanya

Mahaprabhu.

PURPORT

The inhabitants of Kulina-grama, such as Satyaraja Khan and Ramananda

Vasu, were not brahmanas by caste, nor were the inhabitants of Khanda,

such as Mukunda dasa, Narahari dasa and Raghunandana. Therefore they

would purchase prasadam from the market where the remnants of Lord

Jagannatha's food was sold and then extend invitations to Sri Caitanya

Mahaprabhu, whereas Acaryaratna, Acaryanidhi and others who were

brahmanas by caste would cook at home when they invited the Lord.

Caitanya Mahaprabhu observed the etiquette then current in society by

accepting only prasadam cooked by members of the brahmana caste, but on

principle He accepted invitations from His devotees, regardless of

whether they were brahmanas by caste.

Antya 10: Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Accepts Prasadam from His Devotees
 
Chapter 10: 
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Accepts Prasadam from His Devotees
 
The following summary of Chapter Ten is given by Bhaktivinoda Thakura in 
his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya. Before the Ratha-yatra ceremony, all the 
devotees from Bengal started for Jagannatha Puri as usual. Raghava 
Pandita brought with him various kinds of food for Sri Caitanya 
Mahaprabhu. The food had been cooked by his sister, Damayanti, who then 
packed it in bags (jhali). Thus the stock of food was generally known as 
raghavera jhali, "the bags of Raghava." Makaradhvaja Kara, an inhabitant 
of Panihati who accompanied Raghava Pandita, was the secretary in charge 
of accounting for the raghavera jhali.
 
The day when all the devotees arrived at Jagannatha Puri, Lord Govinda 
was enjoying sporting pastimes in the waters of the lake known as 
Narendra-sarovara. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu also enjoyed the ceremony in 
the water with His devotees. As previously, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu 
performed the cleansing ceremony at Gundica and chanted the famous verse 
jagamohana-pari-munda yau. After kirtana ended, He distributed prasadam 
to all the devotees and also took some Himself. Then He lay down at the 
door of the Gambhira to take rest. Somehow or other Govinda, the 
personal servant of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, crossed over the Lord's 
body and massaged His feet. Govinda could not go out that day, however, 
and therefore he was unable to accept prasadam. From the character of 
Govinda it is to be learned that we may sometimes commit offenses for 
the service of the Lord, but not for sense gratification.
 
Govinda induced the Lord to eat all the food delivered by the devotees 
of Bengal for His service. All the Vaisnavas used to invite Sri Caitanya 
Mahaprabhu to their homes. The Lord accepted the invitation of Caitanya 
dasa, the son of Sivananda Sena, and ate rice and yogurt there.

Mahaprabhu derived more happiness from eating this sukuta than from

'manusya'-buddhi damayanti kare prabhura paya

TRANSLATION
 
Because of her natural love for Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Damayanti 
considered the Lord an ordinary human being. Therefore she thought that 
He would become sick by overeating and there would be mucus within His 
abdomen.
 
PURPORT
 
Because of pure love, the devotees of Krsna in Goloka Vrndavana, 
Vrajabhumi, loved Krsna as an ordinary human being like them. Yet 
although they considered Krsna one of them, their love for Krsna knew no 
bounds. Similarly, because of extreme love, devotees like Raghava 
Pandita and his sister, Damayanti, thought of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu as 
a human being, but their love for Him was boundless. By overeating, an 
ordinary human being becomes prone to a disease called amla-pitta, which 
is a product of indigestion characterized by acidity of the stomach. 
Damayanti thought that such a condition would afflict Sri Caitanya 
Mahaprabhu.

These are some of the finer points of etiquette in devotional service. 
Only one who has received the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu can 
understand these principles.
 
PURPORT
 
Karmis, fruitive workers, cannot understand the finer conclusions of 
devotional service because they accept only its ritualistic value but do 
not understand how devotional service satisfies the Supreme Personality 
of Godhead. The karmis view the formalities as a means of advancing in 
religion, economic development, sensual satisfaction and liberation. 
Although these are only material results of following religious 
principles, the karmis consider them everything. Such ritualistic 
activities are called karma. Karmis who adopt devotional service very 
loosely and who therefore remain on the platform of material activities 
are called prakrta-sahajiyas. They cannot understand how pure devotional 
service is rendered in parental and conjugal love, for this can be 
understood only by the special mercy bestowed by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu 
upon pure devotees.

The inhabitants of Kulina-grama, such as Satyaraja Khan and Ramananda 
Vasu, were not brahmanas by caste, nor were the inhabitants of Khanda, 
such as Mukunda dasa, Narahari dasa and Raghunandana. Therefore they 
would purchase prasadam from the market where the remnants of Lord 
Jagannatha's food was sold and then extend invitations to Sri Caitanya 
Mahaprabhu, whereas Acaryaratna, Acaryanidhi and others who were 
brahmanas by caste would cook at home when they invited the Lord. 
Caitanya Mahaprabhu observed the etiquette then current in society by 
accepting only prasadam cooked by members of the brahmana caste, but on 
principle He accepted invitations from His devotees, regardless of 
whether they were brahmanas by caste.
