Antya 15-1975: The Transcendental Madness of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

Chapter 15

The Transcendental Madness of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu

The following is a summary of the Fifteenth Chapter of Antya-lila. After

seeing the upala-bhoga ceremony of Lord Jagannatha, Sri Caitanya

Mahaprabhu once more began to feel ecstatic emotions. When He saw the

garden on the beach by the sea, He again thought that He was in

Vrndavana, and when He began to think of Krsna engaging in His different

pastimes, transcendental emotions excited Him again. On the night of the

rasa dance, the gopis, bereaved by Krsna's absence, searched for Krsna

from one forest to another. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu adopted the same

transcendental thoughts as the gopis and was filled with

ecstatic emotion. Svarupa Damodara Gosvami recited a verse from Gita-

govinda just suitable to the Lord's emotions. Caitanya Mahaprabhu then

exhibited the ecstatic transformations known as bhavodaya, bhava-sandhi,

bhava-sabalya and so on. The Lord experienced all eight kinds of

ecstatic transformations, and He relished them very much.

absorbed in that love. Thus He exhibited in various ways the exalted

position of transcendental love for Krsna.

Antya 15: The Transcendental Madness of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
 
Chapter 15: 
 
The Transcendental Madness of Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
 
The following is a summary of the Fifteenth Chapter. After 
seeing the upala-bhoga ceremony of Lord Jagannatha, Sri Caitanya 
Mahaprabhu once more began to feel ecstatic emotions. When He saw the 
garden on the beach by the sea, He again thought that He was in 
Vrndavana, and when He began to think of Krsna engaging in His different 
pastimes, transcendental emotions excited Him again. On the night of the 
rasa dance, the gopis, bereaved by Krsna's absence, searched for Krsna 
from one forest to another. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu adopted the same 
transcendental thoughts as those of the gopis and was filled with 
ecstatic emotion. Svarupa Damodara Gosvami recited a verse from the Gita-
govinda just suitable to the Lord's emotions. Caitanya Mahaprabhu then 
exhibited the ecstatic transformations known as bhavodaya, bhava-sandhi, 
bhava-sabalya and so on. The Lord experienced all eight kinds of 
ecstatic transformations, and He relished them very much.

absorbed in that love. Thus He exhibited in various ways the exalted 
position of transcendental love for Krsna.

attracting My five senses by force.'

autumn moon. By such beauty, Madana-mohana, the enchanter of Cupid, is 
increasing the desire of My eyes to see Him.'"

while walking on the beach, He would see a beautiful garden nearby and 
mistake it for the forest of Vrndavana. Thus He would be completely 
overwhelmed by ecstatic love of Krsna and begin to chant the 
holy name and dance. His tongue worked incessantly as He chanted, ‘Krsna!
 Krsna!' Will He again become visible before the path of my eyes?"
