Madhya 3-1975: Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Stay at the House of
Advaita Acarya
Chapter 3
Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Stay at the House of Advaita Acarya
In his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura gives the
following summary study of the Third Chapter. After accepting the
sannyasa order at Katwa, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu traveled continuously
for three days in the Radha-desa and, by the trick of Nityananda Prabhu,
eventually came to the western side of Santipura. Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu was induced to believe that the River Ganges was the Yamuna.
When He was worshiping the sacred river, Advaita Prabhu appeared with a
boat. Advaita Prabhu asked Him to take His bath in the Ganges and took
Him to His own house. There, at the house of Advaita Prabhu,
all the Navadvipa devotees, along with mother Sacidevi, came to see Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu. This house was located at Santipura. Mother
Sacidevi cooked for Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu, and
at that time there were many joking exchanges between Advaita Prabhu and
Nityananda Prabhu. In the evening there was a mass sankirtana at the
house of Advaita Prabhu, and mother Sacidevi gave Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu permission to leave. She requested Him to make Jagannatha
Puri, Nilacala, His headquarters. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu granted His
mother's request and, followed by Nityananda, Mukunda, Jagadananda and
Damodara, left Santipura. Bidding farewell to mother Sacidevi, they all
proceeded toward Jagannatha Puri, following the path of Chatrabhoga.

SYNONYMS
sannyasa kari' -- after accepting the sannyasa order; prema-avese -- in
intense love for Krsna; calila -- proceeded; vrndavana -- toward
Vrndavana-dhama; radha-dese -- in the tract of land known as Radha; tina
dina -- continuously for three days; karila -- did; bhramana --

TRANSLATION
After accepting the sannyasa order, Caitanya Mahaprabhu, out of intense
love for Krsna, started for Vrndavana. However, He mistakenly wandered
about in a trance continuously for three days in the tract of land known
as Radha-desa.
PURPORT
The word Radha-desa comes from the word rastra, or "state." From rastra
the perverted word radha has come. The part of Bengal on the western
side of the Ganges is known as Radha-desa. Another name is Paundra-desa
. The word paundra is a perverted form of the word pendo.
It appears that the capital of Rastra-desa was situated in that part of
Bengal.

TRANSLATION
[As a brahmana from Avanti-desa said:] "I shall cross over the
insurmountable ocean of nescience by being firmly fixed in the service
of the lotus feet of Krsna. This was approved by the previous acaryas,
who were fixed in firm devotion to the Lord, Paramatma, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead."
PURPORT
In connection with this verse, which is a quotation from Srimad-
Bhagavatam (11.23.58), Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura says that
of the sixty-four items required for rendering devotional service,
acceptance of the symbolic marks of sannyasa is a regulative principle.
If one accepts the sannyasa order, his main business is to devote his
life completely to the service of Mukunda, Krsna. If one does not
completely devote his mind and body to the service of the Lord, he does
not actually become a sannyasi. It is not simply a matter of changing
dress. In Bhagavad-gita (6.1) it is also stated, anasritah karma-phalam
karyam karma karoti yah/sa sannyasi ca yogi ca: one who works devotedly
for the satisfaction of Krsna is a sannyasi. The dress is not sannyasa,
but the attitude of service to Krsna is.
The word paratma-nistha means being a devotee of Lord Krsna. Paratma,
the Supreme Person, is Krsna. Isvarah paramah krsnah sac-cid-ananda-
vigrahah. Those who are completely dedicated to the lotus feet
of Krsna in service are actually sannyasis. As a matter of formality,
the devotee accepts the sannyasa dress as previous acaryas did. He also
accepts the three dandas. Later Visnusvami considered that
accepting the dress of a tridandi was paratma-nistha. Therefore
sincere devotees add another danda, the jiva-danda, to the three
existing dandas. The Vaisnava sannyasi is known as a tridandi-sannyasi.
The Mayavadi sannyasi accepts only one danda, not understanding the
purpose of tri-danda. Later, many persons in the community of Siva Svami
gave up the atma-nistha (devotional service) of the Lord and followed
the path of Sankaracarya. Instead of accepting 108 names, those in the
Siva Svami-sampradaya follow the path of Sankaracarya and accept the ten
names of sannyasa. Although Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted the then-
existing order of sannyasa (namely eka-danda), He still recited a verse
from Srimad-Bhagavatam about the tridanda-sannyasa accepted by the
brahmana of Avantipura. Indirectly He declared that within that eka-
danda, one danda, four dandas existed as one. Accepting ekadanda-
sannyasa without paratma-nistha (devotional service to Lord Krsna) is
not acceptable to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. In addition, according to the
exact regulative principles, one should add the jiva-danda to the tri-
danda. These four dandas, bound together as one, are symbolic of
unalloyed devotional service to the Lord. Because the ekadandi-sannyasis
of the Mayavada school are not devoted to the service of Krsna, they try
to merge into the Brahman effulgence, which is a marginal position
between material and spiritual existence. They accept this impersonal
position as liberation. Mayavadi sannyasis, not knowing that Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu was a tri-dandi, think of Caitanya Mahaprabhu
as an ekadandi-sannyasi. This is due to their vivarta, bewilderment. In
Srimad-Bhagavatam there is no such thing as an ekadandi-sannyasi; indeed,
the tri-dandi-sannyasi is accepted as the symbolic representation
of the sannyasa order. By citing this verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam, Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted the sannyasa order recommended in Srimad-
Bhagavatam. The Mayavadi sannyasis, who are enamored of the external
energy of the Lord, cannot understand the mind of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu.
To date, all the devotees of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, following in His
footsteps, accept the sannyasa order and keep the sacred thread and tuft
of unshaved hair. The ekadandi-sannyasis of the Mayavadi school give up
the sacred thread and do not keep any tuft of hair. Therefore they are
unable to understand the purport of tridanda-sannyasa, and as such they
are not inclined to dedicate their lives to the service of Mukunda. They
simply think of merging into the existence of Brahman because of their
disgust with material existence. The acaryas who advocate the daiva-
varnasrama (the social order of catur-varnyam mentioned in Bhagavad-
gita) do not accept the proposition of asura-varnasrama, which maintains
that the social order of varna is indicated by birth.
The most intimate devotee of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, namely Gadadhara
Pandita, accepted tridanda-sannyasa and also accepted Madhava Upadhyaya
as his tridandi-sannyasi disciple. It is said that from this
Madhavacarya the sampradaya known in western India as the Vallabhacarya-
sampradaya has begun. Srila Gopala Bhatta Bose, who is known as a
smrty-acarya in the Gaudiya-Vaisnava-sampradaya, later accepted the
tridanda-sannyasa order from Tridandipada Prabodhananda Sarasvati.
Although acceptance of tridanda-sannyasa is not distinctly mentioned in
the Gaudiya Vaisnava literature, the first verse of Srila Rupa Gosvami's
Upadesamrta advocates that one should accept the tridanda-sannyasa order
by controlling the six forces:
vaco vegam manasah krodha-vegam
jihva-vegam udaropastha-vegam
etan vegan yo visaheta dhirah
sarvam apimam prthivim sa sisyat
"One who can control the forces of speech, mind, anger, belly, tongue
and genitals is known as a gosvami and is competent to accept disciples
all over the world." The followers of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu never
accepted the Mayavada order of sannyasa, and for this they cannot be
blamed. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted Sridhara Svami, who was a
tridandi-sannyasi, but the Mayavadi sannyasis, not understanding
Sridhara Svami, sometimes think that Sridhara Svami belonged to the
Mayavada ekadanda-sannyasa community. Actually this was not the case.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu approved the purport of this verse on account of
the determination of the mendicant devotee to engage in the service of
Lord Mukunda. He gave His approval of this verse, indicating that it was
very good.

TEXT
paratma-nistha-matra vesa-dharana
mukunda-sevaya haya samsara-tarana
SYNONYMS
para-atma-nistha-matra -- only for the determination to serve Krsna;
vesa-dharana -- changing the dress; mukunda-sevaya -- by serving Mukunda;
haya -- there is; samsara-tarana -- liberation from this material
bondage.
TRANSLATION
The real purpose of accepting sannyasa is to dedicate oneself to the
service of Mukunda. By serving Mukunda, one can actually be liberated
from the bondage of material existence.
PURPORT
In this connection, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says that Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu accepted the sannyasa order and recommended the determination
of the Avantipura bhiksu to engage in the service of Mukunda. He
accepted the brahmana's version due to his determination to serve
Mukunda. The sannyasi dress is actually an attraction for material
formality. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not like such formality, but He
wanted the essence of it -- service to Mukunda. Such determination in
any condition is paratma-nistha. That is required. The conclusion is
that the sannyasa order depends not on the dress but the determination
to serve Mukunda.

the wife of Advaita Acarya; visnu-samarpana -- offering to Lord Visnu;

TRANSLATION
All the eatables were first cooked by the wife of Advaita Acarya. Then
Srila Advaita Acarya personally offered everything to Lord Visnu.
PURPORT
This is the ideal householder's life. The husband and wife live together,
and the husband works very hard to secure paraphernalia for worshiping
Lord Visnu. The wife at home cooks a variety of foodstuffs for Lord
Visnu, and the husband offers it to the Deity. After that, arati is
performed, and the prasada is distributed amongst family members and
guests. According to the Vedic principles, there must always be a guest
in the householder's house. In my childhood I have actually seen my
father receive not less than four guests every day, and in those days my
father's income was not very great. Nonetheless, there was no difficulty
in offering prasada to at least four guests every day. According to
Vedic principles, a householder, before taking lunch, should go outside
and shout very loudly to see if there is anyone without food. In this
way he invites people to take prasada. If someone comes, the
householder offers him prasada, and if there is not much left, he
should offer his own portion to the guest. If no one responds to his
call, the householder can accept his own lunch. Thus the householder's
life is also a kind of austerity. Because of this, the householder's
life is called the grhastha-asrama. Although a person may live with his
wife and children happily in Krsna consciousness, he also observes the
regulative principles followed in any temple. If there is no Krsna
consciousness, the householder's abode is called a grhamedhi's
house. Householders in Krsna consciousness are actually grhasthas --
that is, those living in the asrama with their families and children.
Sri Advaita Prabhu was an ideal grhastha, and His house was the ideal
grhastha-asrama.

TRANSLATION
All the prepared foods were divided into three equal parts. One part was
arranged on a metal plate for offering to Lord Krsna.
PURPORT
The word badaila, meaning "increased," is very significant in this verse.
It is a sophisticated word used by the grhasthas in Bengal. Whenever
food is prepared and we take away a portion, the food is actually
decreased. But here it is the system to say badaila, or "increased." If
food is prepared for Krsna and offered to Him and the Vaisnavas, the
stock is increased, never decreased.

PURPORT
Although the Hindus and Muslims lived together in a very friendly manner,
still there were distinctions between them. The Mohammedans were
considered yavanas, or low-born, and whenever a Mohammedan was invited,
he would be fed outside of the house. Although personally called by Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu to take prasada with Them,
still, out of great humility, Haridasa Thakura submitted, "I shall take
the prasada outside of the house." Although Haridasa Thakura was an
exalted Vaisnava accepted by Advaita Acarya, Nityananda Prabhu and Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, nonetheless, in order not to disturb social
tranquility, he humbly kept himself in the position of a Mohammedan,
outside the jurisdiction of the Hindu community. Therefore he proposed
to take prasada outside the house. Although he was in an exalted
position and equal to other great Vaisnavas, he considered himself a
papistha, a most sinful man, and adhama, the lowest among men. Although
a Vaisnava may be very much advanced spiritually, he keeps himself
externally humble and submissive.

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu approved of all the methods employed in cooking

Krsna such nice food and place those lotus feet on My head birth after

prabhu jane tina bhoga -- krsnera naivedya

SYNONYMS
prabhu jane -- the Lord knows; tina bhoga -- three divisions of bhoga;
krsnera naivedya -- offerings to Lord Krsna; acaryera -- of Advaita
Acarya; manah-katha -- the intentions; nahe -- not; prabhura -- to the
Lord; vedya -- understandable.
TRANSLATION
When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu entered the room, He saw three divisions of
food, and He knew that all of these were meant for Krsna. However, He
did not understand the intentions of Advaita Acarya.
PURPORT
Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura states that one of these
servings was offered in a metal dish and was meant for Krsna, whereas
the other two were placed on big banana leaves. The offering on the
metal plate was personally offered by Advaita Acarya to Krsna. The other
two servings, on banana leaves, were to be accepted by Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda. That was Advaita Acarya's intention, but
He did not disclose this to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Thus when Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu saw the foodstuff offered in three places, He
thought that all of it was meant for Krsna.

prabhu kahe -- sannyasira bhaksya nahe upakarana
iha khaile kaiche haya indriya varana
SYNONYMS
prabhu kahe -- the Lord said; sannyasira -- by a sannyasi; bhaksya -- to
be eaten; nahe -- this is not; upakarana -- varieties of food; iha --
this; khaile -- if eating; kaiche -- how; haya -- there is; indriya --
senses; varana -- controlling.
TRANSLATION
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said: "It is not proper for a sannyasi to eat
such a variety of foodstuff. If he does, how can he control his senses?"
PURPORT
The word upakarana indicates a variety of foodstuffs, such as dahl,
vegetables and other varieties of possible dishes that one can eat very
nicely with rice. It is not proper, however, for a sannyasi to eat such
palatable dishes. If he did so, he would not be able to control his
senses. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not encourage sannyasis to eat very
palatable dishes, for the whole Vaisnava cult is vairagya-vidya, as
renounced as possible. Caitanya Mahaprabhu also advised Raghunatha dasa
Gosvami not to eat very palatable dishes, wear very nice garments or
talk on mundane subjects. These things are all prohibited for those in
the renounced order. A devotee does not accept anything to eat that is
not first offered to Krsna. All the rich foodstuffs offered to Krsna are
given to the grhasthas, the householders. There are many nice things
offered to Krsna -- garlands, bedsteads, nice ornaments, nice food, and
even nicely prepared pan, betel nuts -- but a humble Vaisnava, thinking
his body material and nasty, does not accept such preparations for
himself. He thinks that by accepting such things he will offend the
lotus feet of the Lord. Those who are sahajiyas cannot understand what
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu meant when He asked Advaita Acarya to bring two
separate leaves and give a small quantity of the prasada to Him.

and it is not the duty of a sannyasi to leave remnants."
According to Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.18.19):
bahir jalasayam gatva
tatopasprsya vag-yatah
vibhajya pavitam sesam
bhunjitasesam ahrtam
"Whatever a sannyasi gets that is edible from a householder's
house, he should take outside near some lake or river, and, after
offering it to Visnu, Brahma and the sun (three divisions), he
should eat the entire offering and should not leave anything for others
to eat." This is an injunction for sannyasis given in Srimad-Bhagavatam.

fill Your belly; sannyasa la-iyacha -- You have accepted the renounced
order of life; bujhi -- I understand; brahmana dandite -- to give
trouble to a brahmana.
TRANSLATION
Advaita Acarya said: "You are a reject paramahamsa, and You have
accepted the renounced order of life just to fill up Your belly. I can
understand that Your business is to give trouble to brahmanas."
PURPORT
There is always a difference of opinion between a smarta-brahmana and a
Vaisnava gosvami. There are even smarta opinions and Vaisnava gosvami
opinions available in astrological and astronomical calculations. By
calling Nityananda Prabhu a bhrasta avadhuta (a rejected paramahamsa),
Advaita Acarya Prabhu in a sense accepted Nityananda Prabhu as a
paramahamsa. In other words, Nityananda Prabhu had nothing to do with
the rules governing smarta-brahmanas. Thus under pretense of condemning
Him, Advaita Acarya was actually praising Him. In the avadhuta stage,
the paramahamsa stage, which is the supermost stage, one may appear to
be visayi, on the platform of sense gratification, but in actuality he
has nothing to do with sense gratification. At that stage, a person
sometimes accepts the symptoms and dress of a sannyasi and sometimes
does not. Sometimes he dresses like a householder. We should know,
however, that these are all joking words between Advaita Acarya and
Nityananda Prabhu. They are not to be taken as insults.
In Khadadaha, sometimes people misunderstood Nityananda Prabhu to belong
to the sakta-sampradaya, whose philosophy is antah saktah bahih saivah
sabhayam vaisnavo matah. According to the sakta-sampradaya, a person
called kaulavadhuta thinks materially while externally appearing to be a
great devotee of Lord Siva. When such a person is in an assembly of
Vaisnavas, he appears like a Vaisnava. Actually Nityananda Prabhu did
not belong to such a community. Nityananda Prabhu was always a
brahmacari of a sannyasi of the vaidika order. Actually He was a
paramahamsa. Sometimes He is accepted to be a disciple of Laksmipati
Tirtha. If He is so accepted, Nityananda Prabhu belonged to the Madhva-
sampradaya. He did not belong to the tantrika-sampradaya of Bengal.

touched; mora -- My; ange -- on the body; parama pavitra -- perfectly
purified; more -- Me; kaila -- made; ei -- this; dhange -- behavior.
TRANSLATION
When the rice thrown by Nityananda Prabhu touched His body, Advaita
Acarya thought Himself purified by the touch of remnants thrown by
Paramahamsa Nityananda. Therefore He began dancing.
PURPORT
The word avadhuta refers to one above all rules and regulations.
Sometimes, not observing all the rules and regulations of a sannyasi,
Nityananda Prabhu exhibited the behavior of a mad avadhuta. He threw the
remnants of food on the ground, and some of these remnants touched the
body of Advaita Acarya. Advaita Acarya accepted this happily because He
presented Himself as a member of the community of smarta-brahmanas. By
touching the remnants of food thrown by Nityananda Prabhu, Advaita
Acarya immediately felt Himself purified of all smarta contamination.
The remnants of food left by a pure Vaisnava are called maha-maha-
prasada. This is completely spiritual and is identified with Lord Visnu.
Such remnants are not ordinary. The spiritual master is to be
considered on the stage of paramahamsa and beyond the jurisdiction of
the varnasrama institution. The remnants of food left by the spiritual
master and similar paramahamsas or pure Vaisnavas are purifying. When
an ordinary person touches such prasada, his mind is purified, and his
mind is raised to the status of a pure brahmana. The behavior and
statements of Advaita Acarya are meant for the understanding of ordinary
people who are unaware of the strength of spiritual values, not knowing
the potency of foodstuffs left by the bona fide spiritual master and
pure Vaisnavas.

TRANSLATION
Advaita Acarya jokingly said: "My dear Nityananda, I invited You, and
indeed I have received the results. You have no fixed caste or dynasty.
By nature You are a madman.
PURPORT
The words sahaje pagala ("by nature a madman") indicate that Nityananda
Prabhu was transcendentally situated on the paramahamsa stage. Because
He always remembered Radha-Krsna and Their service, this was
transcendental madness. Sri Advaita Acarya was pointing out this fact.
Madhya 3.98
TEXT 98
TEXT
apanara sama more karibara tare
jhutha dile, vipra bali' bhaya na karile
SYNONYMS
apanara sama -- like You; more -- Me; karibara tare -- for making;
jhutha -- remnants of foodstuffs; dile -- You have given; vipra bali' --
considering as a brahmana; bhaya -- fear; na karile -- You did not do.
TRANSLATION
"To make Me a madman like Yourself, You have thrown the remnants of Your
food at Me. You did not even fear the fact that I am a brahmana."
PURPORT
The words apanara sama indicate that Advaita Acarya considered Himself
to belong to the smarta-brahmanas, and He considered Nityananda Prabhu
to be on the transcendental stage with pure Vaisnavas. Lord Nityananda
gave Advaita Acarya His remnants to situate Him on the same platform and
make Him a pure unalloyed Vaisnava or paramahamsa. Advaita Acarya's
statement indicates that a paramahamsa Vaisnava is transcendentally
situated. A pure Vaisnava is not subject to the rules and regulations of
the smarta-brahmanas. That was the reason for Advaita Acarya's stating,
apanara sama more karibara tare: "To raise Me to Your own standard." A
pure Vaisnava or a person on the paramahamsa stage accepts the
remnants of food (maha-prasada) as spiritual. He does not consider it
to be material or sense gratificatory. He accepts maha-prasada not as
ordinary dahl and rice but as spiritual substance. To say nothing of the
remnants of food left by a pure Vaisnava, prasada is never polluted
even if it is touched by the mouth of a candala. Indeed, it retains its
spiritual value. Therefore by eating or touching such maha-prasada, a
brahmana is not degraded. There is no question of being polluted by
touching the remnants of such food. Actually, by eating such maha-
prasada, one is freed from all the contaminations of the material
condition. That is the verdict of the sastra.

In the Brhad-visnu Purana it is stated that one who considers maha-
prasada to be equal to ordinary rice and dahl certainly commits a great
offense. Ordinary edibles are touchable and untouchable, but there are
no such dualistic considerations where prasada is concerned. Prasada
is transcendental, and there are no transformations or contaminations,
just as there are no contaminations or transformations in the body of
Lord Visnu Himself. Thus even if one is a brahmana he is certain to be
attacked by leprosy and bereft of all family members if he makes such
dualistic considerations. Such an offender goes to hell, never to return.
This is the injunction of the Brhad-visnu Purana.

This is a song composed by Vidyapati. Sometimes the word madhava is
misunderstood to refer to Madhavendra Puri. Advaita Acarya was a
disciple of Madhavendra Puri, and consequently some people think that He
was referring to Madhavendra Puri by using the word madhava. But
actually this is not the fact. This song was composed to commemorate the
separation of Krsna from Radharani during Krsna's absence in Mathura.
This song was supposed to be sung by Srimati Radharani when
Krsna returned. It is technically called Mathura-viraha.

Harsa is described in Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu. Harsa is experienced
when one finally attains the desired goal of life and consequently
becomes very glad. When harsa is present, the body shivers, and one's
hairs stand on end. There are perspiration, tears and an outburst
of passion and madness. The mouth becomes swollen, and one experiences
inertia and illusion. When a person attains his desired object and feels
very fortunate, the luster of his body increases. Because of his own
qualities and feelings of greatness, he does not care for anyone else,
and this is called garva, or pride. In this condition one utters prayers
and does not reply to others' inquiries. Seeing one's own body,
concealing one's desires and not heeding the words of others are
symptoms visible in the ecstasy of garva.

When mother Saci was thus overwhelmed in paternal love for Lord Caitanya
Mahaprabhu, she became transformed with happiness, fear and humility, as

PURPORT
These verses indicate that mother Saci, born in the family of Nilambara
Cakravarti, used to worship Lord Visnu even before her marriage. As
stated in Bhagavad-gita (6:41):
prapya punya-krtam lokan
usitva sasvatih samah
sucinam srimatam gehe
yoga-bhrasto 'bhijayate
"The unsuccessful yogi, after many, many years of enjoyment on the
planets of the pious living entities, is born into a family of righteous
people, or into a family of rich aristocracy." Mother Saci, a nitya-
siddha living entity, is an incarnation of mother Yasoda. She appeared
in the house of Nilambara Cakravarti and was everlastingly engaged in
the service of Lord Visnu. Later she directly had as her child Lord
Visnu, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and she served Him from the day of His
appearance. This is the position of nitya-siddha associates. Sri
Narottama dasa Thakura therefore sings: gaurangera sangi-gane nitya-
siddha kari mane. Every devotee should know that all the associates of
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu -- His family members, friends and other
associates -- were all nitya-siddhas. A nitya-siddha never forgets the
service of the Lord. He is always engaged, even from childhood, in
worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Since Advaita Acarya was giving alms and food to Lord Caitanya
Mahaprabhu, the other devotees, headed by Srivasa Thakura, also desired
to give Him alms and invite Him for lunch.
PURPORT
It is the duty of all grhasthas to invite a sannyasi to their homes if
he happens to be in the neighborhood or village. This very system is
still current in India. If a sannyasi is in the neighborhood of a
village, he is invited by all householders, one after another. As long
as a sannyasi remains in the village, he enlightens the inhabitants in
spiritual understanding. In other words, a sannyasi has no housing or
food problems even when he travels extensively. Even though Advaita
Acarya was supplying Caitanya Mahaprabhu with prasada, the other
devotees from Navadvipa and Santipura also desired to offer Him prasada.

TRANSLATION
Sacimata said: "It will be a great happiness for me if Nimai, Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, stays here. But at the same time, if someone blames
Him, it will be my great unhappiness."
PURPORT
It is a great happiness for a mother if her son does not leave home to
search out Krsna but remains with her. At the same time, if a son does
not search after Krsna but simply remains at home, he is certainly
blamed by experienced saintly persons. Such blame certainly causes great
unhappiness for a mother. If a real mother wants her son to progress
spiritually, she had better allow him to go out searching for Krsna. The
mother naturally desires the welfare of the son. If a mother does not
allow her son to search for Krsna, she is called ma, which indicates
maya. By allowing her son to go as a sannyasi and search for Krsna,
Sacimata instructs all mothers of the world. She indicates that all sons
should become real devotees of Krsna and should not stay at home under
the care of an affectionate mother. This is supported by Srimad-
Bhagavatam (5.5.18):
gurur na sa syat sva-jano na sa syat
pita na sa syaj janani na sa syat
daivam na tat syan na patis ca sa syan
na mocayed yah samupeta-mrtyum
"No one should become a spiritual master -- nor a relative, father,
mother, worshipable Deity or husband -- if he cannot help a person
escape the imminent path of death." Every living entity is wandering
within the universe, subjected to the law of karma and transmigrating
from one body to another and from one planet to another. Therefore the
whole Vedic process is meant to save the wandering living entities from
the clutches of maya-birth, death, disease and old age. This means
stopping the cycle of birth and death. This cycle can be stopped only if
one worships Krsna. As the Lord says in Bhagavad-gita (4.9):
janma karma ca me divyam
evam yo vetti tattvatah
tyaktva deham punar janma
naiti mam eti so 'rjuna
"One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities
does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material
world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna."
To stop the cycle of birth and death, one has to understand Krsna as He
is. Simply by knowing Krsna, one can stop the process of rebirth into
this material world. By acting in Krsna consciousness, one can return to
Godhead. The highest perfection of life is for a father, mother,
spiritual master, husband or any other family member to help others
return home, back to Godhead. That is the most preferred welfare
activity for the benefit of relatives. Therefore, Sacimata, although the
mother of Nimai Pandita, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, considered all the
facts and decided to allow her son to go out and search for Krsna. At
the same time, she made some arrangements in order that she might get
news of all the activities of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

sankirtana -- chanting of the holy name of the Lord; krsna-nama -- the
holy name of the Lord; krsna-katha -- discussion of Krsna's pastimes;

TRANSLATION
Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu requested them all to return home and begin
chanting the holy name congregationally. He also requested them to
worship Krsna, chant His holy name and discuss His holy pastimes.
PURPORT
The cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Hare Krsna movement, is very
nicely explained by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu authoritatively. It is not
that everyone has to take sannyasa like Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Everyone can execute the cult of Krsna consciousness at home, as ordered
by the Lord. Everyone can congregationally chant the holy name of Krsna,
the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. One can also discuss the subject matter of
Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam and install Deities of Radha-
Krsna or Gaura-Nitai or both and worship them very carefully in one's
own home. It is not that we have to open different centers all over the
world. Whoever cares for the Krsna consciousness movement can install
Deities at home and, under superior guidance, worship the Deity
regularly, chanting the maha-mantra and discussing Bhagavad-gita and
Srimad-Bhagavatam. We are actually teaching in our classes how to go
about this. One who feels that he is not yet ready to live in a temple
or undergo strict regulative principles in the temple -- especially
householders who live with wife and children -- can start a center at
home by installing the Deity, worshiping the Lord morning and evening,
chanting Hare Krsna and discussing Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-
Bhagavatam. Anyone can do this at home without difficulty, and Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu requested all the devotees present there to do so.

TRANSLATION
Haridasa Thakura said: "You are going to Jagannatha Puri, and that is
all right, but what will be my destination? I am not able to go to
Jagannatha Puri."
PURPORT
Although Srila Haridasa Thakura was born in a Mohammeddan family, he was
accepted as a properly initiated brahmana. As such, he had every right
to enter the temple of Jagannatha Puri, but because there were some
rules and regulations stipulating that only brahmanas, ksatriyas,
vaisyas and sudras (members of the varnasrama-dharma system) could enter,
Haridasa Thakura, out of his great humility, did not want to violate
these existing rules. He therefore said that he did not have the
strength to enter into the temple, and he pointed out that if Lord Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu lived within the temple, there would be no way for
Haridasa Thakura to see Him. Later, when Haridasa Thakura went to
Jagannatha Puri, he lived outside the temple on the beach by the
sea. A monastery has now been erected there, known as
Siddhabakula Matha. People go there to see
the tomb of Haridasa Thakura.

TRANSLATION
In this way all the opulences of Advaita Acarya -- His faith, devotion,
home, riches and everything else -- were successfully utilized in the
worship of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
PURPORT
Advaita Acarya set an ideal example for all householder devotees in His
receiving of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His devotees and in His
execution of a daily festival at His home. If one has the proper means
and wealth, he should occasionally invite the devotees of Lord Caitanya,
who are engaged in preaching all over the world, and hold a festival at
home simply by distributing prasada and talking about Krsna during the
day and holding congregational chanting for at least three hours in the
evening. This procedure must be adopted in all centers of the Krsna
consciousness movement. Thus they will daily perform sankirtana-yajna.
In Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.5.32) the daily performance of sankirtana-yajna
is recommended for this age (yajnaih sankirtana-prayair yajanti hi
sumedhasah). One should worship Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and
His four associates, the Panca-tattva, by distributing prasada and
holding congregational chanting. Indeed, that yajna or sacrifice is
most recommended in this age of Kali. In this age, other yajnas are not
possible to perform, but this yajna can be performed everywhere and
anywhere without difficulty.

TRANSLATION
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was unaffected. He left swiftly, and Advaita
Acarya followed Him weeping.
PURPORT
As Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura explains, the word nirapeksa
means not being affected by anything material and remaining fixed in the
service of the Lord. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not very much care for
the roaring tumult and cry at the house of Advaita Acarya, which He
heard when starting for Jagannatha Puri. Worldly moralists may criticize
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu for being very cruel, but the Lord did not care
for such criticism. As the world teacher of this Krsna consciousness
movement, He actually showed that a person seriously engaged in Krsna
consciousness should not be affected by worldly affection. The best
course is to engage in rendering service to the Lord and to become
callous to material objectives. Externally everyone is attached to
material things, but if one becomes entangled in such things, he cannot
make progress in Krsna consciousness. Therefore those who are engaged in
Krsna consciousness should not care for the so-called morality of the
material world if that morality opposes the service of the Lord. As Lord
Caitanya Mahaprabhu has personally shown, one cannot properly execute
Krsna consciousness without being neutral.

The Lord, with the other four persons, went along the banks of the

PURPORT
In the southern section of the eastern railway, in the district of
twenty-four parganas, is a station named Magrahata. If one goes to the
southeastern side of that station for some fourteen miles, there is a
place called Jayanagara. About six miles south of this Jayanagara
station is a village named Chatrabhoga. Sometimes this village is called
Khadi. In this village is a Deity of Lord Siva known as Vaijurkanatha. A
festival takes place there every year during the months of March and
April. The festival is known as Nanda-mela. At the present
moment the Ganges does not flow there. On the same railway line is
another station, known as Baruipura, and near this station is another
place, called Atisara. Formerly this village was also situated on the
banks of the Ganges. One can go from this village to Panihati and from
there to Varaha-nagara, north of Calcutta. In those days the Ganges
flowed to the south of Calcutta through Kali-ghata, which is still known
as Adi-ganga. From Baruipura, the Ganges branched out and flowed through
Diamond Harbor near the Mathurapura police station. It is to be noted
that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu passed through all these places on His way
to Jagannatha Puri.

he passed through Prayaga-ghata, Suvarnarekha, Remuna,
Yajapura, Vaitarani, Dasasvamedha-ghata,
Kataka, Mahanadi,
Bhuvanesvara (where there is a big lake known as Bindu-sarovara),

other places, He reached Jagannatha Puri.

congregationally chanting the holy name of the Lord and His feasting

Madhya 3: Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Stay at the House of
Advaita Acarya
Chapter 3:
Lord Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Stay at the House of Advaita Acarya
In his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura gives the
following summary of the Third Chapter. After accepting the
sannyasa order at Katwa, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu traveled continuously
for three days in Radha-desa and, by the trick of Nityananda Prabhu,
eventually came to the western side of Santipura. Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu was induced to believe that the river Ganges was the Yamuna.
When He was worshiping the sacred river, Advaita Prabhu arrived in a
boat. Advaita Prabhu asked Him to take His bath in the Ganges and took
Him to His (Advaita's) house. There
all the Navadvipa devotees, along with mother Sacidevi, came to see Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu. This house was located at Santipura. Mother
Sacidevi cooked for Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu, and
at that time there were many joking exchanges between Advaita Prabhu and
Nityananda Prabhu. In the evening there was a mass sankirtana at the
house of Advaita Prabhu, and mother Sacidevi gave Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu permission to leave. She requested Him to make Jagannatha
Puri, Nilacala, His headquarters. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu granted His
mother's request and, followed by Nityananda, Mukunda, Jagadananda and
Damodara, left Santipura. Bidding farewell to mother Sacidevi, they all
proceeded toward Jagannatha Puri, following the path of Chatrabhoga.

SYNONYMS
sannyasa kari' -- after accepting the sannyasa order; prema-avese -- in
intense love for Krsna; calila -- proceeded; vrndavana -- toward
Vrndavana-dhama; radha-dese -- in the tract of land known as Radha; tina

TRANSLATION
After accepting the sannyasa order, Caitanya Mahaprabhu, out of intense
love for Krsna, started for Vrndavana. However, He mistakenly wandered
about in a trance continuously for three days in the tract of land known
as Radha-desa.
PURPORT
The word Radha-desa comes from the word rastra, or "state." From rastra
the corrupted word radha has come. The part of Bengal on the western
side of the Ganges is known as Radha-desa. Another name is Paundra-desa
or Pendo-desa. The word pendo is a corrupted form of the word paundra.
It appears that the capital of Rastra-desa was situated in that part of
Bengal.

TRANSLATION
"[As a brahmana from Avanti-desa said:] I shall cross over the
insurmountable ocean of nescience by being firmly fixed in the service
of the lotus feet of Krsna. This was approved by the previous acaryas,
who were fixed in firm devotion to the Lord, Paramatma, the Supreme
Personality of Godhead.'"
PURPORT
In connection with this verse, which is a quotation from Srimad-
Bhagavatam (11.23.57), Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura says that
of the sixty-four items required for rendering devotional service,
acceptance of the symbolic marks of sannyasa is a regulative principle.
If one accepts the sannyasa order, his main business is to devote his
life completely to the service of Mukunda, Krsna. If one does not
completely devote his mind and body to the service of the Lord, he does
not actually become a sannyasi. It is not simply a matter of changing
dress. In Bhagavad-gita (6.1) it is also stated, anasritah karma-phalam
karyam karma karoti yah/ sa sannyasi ca yogi ca: one who works devotedly
for the satisfaction of Krsna is a sannyasi. The dress is not sannyasa,
but the attitude of service to Krsna is.
The word paratma-nistha means being a devotee of Lord Krsna. Paratma,
the Supreme Person, is Krsna. Isvarah paramah krsnah sac-cid-ananda-
vigrahah [Bs. 5.1]. Those who are completely dedicated to the lotus feet
of Krsna in service are actually sannyasis. As a matter of formality,
the devotee accepts the sannyasa dress as previous acaryas did. He also
accepts the three dandas. Later Visnu Svami considered that
accepting the dress of a tri-dandi was paratma-nistha. Therefore
sincere devotees add another danda, the jiva-danda, to the three
existing dandas. The Vaisnava sannyasi is known as a tridandi-sannyasi.
The Mayavadi sannyasi accepts only one danda, not understanding the
meaning of tri-danda. Later, many persons in the community of Siva Svami
gave up the atma-nistha (devotional service) of the Lord and followed
the path of Sankaracarya. Instead of accepting 108 names, those in the
Siva Svami sampradaya follow the path of Sankaracarya and accept the ten
names of sannyasa. Although Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted the then-
existing order of sannyasa (namely eka-danda), He still recited a verse
from Srimad-Bhagavatam about the tridanda-sannyasa accepted by the
brahmana of Avantipura. Indirectly He declared that within that eka-
danda, one danda, four dandas existed as one. Accepting ekadanda-
sannyasa without paratma-nistha (devotional service to Lord Krsna) is
not acceptable to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. In addition, according to the
exact regulative principles, one should add the jiva-danda to the tri-
danda. These four dandas, bound together as one, are symbolic of
unalloyed devotional service to the Lord. Because the ekadandi-sannyasis
of the Mayavada school are not devoted to the service of Krsna, they try
to merge into the Brahman effulgence, which is a marginal position
between material and spiritual existence. They accept this impersonal
position as liberation. Mayavadi sannyasis, not knowing that Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu was a tridandi, think of Caitanya Mahaprabhu
as an ekadandi-sannyasi. This is due to their vivarta, bewilderment. In
Srimad-Bhagavatam there is no such thing as an ekadandi-sannyasi; indeed,
the tridandi-sannyasi is accepted as the symbolic representation
of the sannyasa order. By citing this verse from Srimad-Bhagavatam, Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted the sannyasa order recommended in Srimad-
Bhagavatam. The Mayavadi sannyasis, who are enamored of the external
energy of the Lord, cannot understand the mind of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu.
To date, all the devotees of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, following in His
footsteps, accept the sannyasa order and keep the sacred thread and tuft
of unshaved hair. The ekadandi-sannyasis of the Mayavadi school give up
the sacred thread and do not keep any tuft of hair. Therefore they are
unable to understand the purport of tridanda-sannyasa, and as such they
are not inclined to dedicate their lives to the service of Mukunda. They
simply think of merging into the existence of Brahman because of their
disgust with material existence. The acaryas who advocate the daiva-
varnasrama (the social order of catur-varnyam mentioned in the Bhagavad-
gita) do not accept the proposition of asura-varnasrama, which maintains
that the social order of varna is indicated by birth.
The most intimate devotee of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, namely Gadadhara
Pandita, accepted tridanda-sannyasa and also accepted Madhava Upadhyaya
as his tridandi-sannyasi disciple. It is said that from this
Madhavacarya the sampradaya known in western India as the Vallabhacarya
sampradaya has begun. Srila Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, who is known as a
smrty-acarya in the Gaudiya-Vaisnava-sampradaya, later accepted the
tridanda-sannyasa order from Tridandipada Prabodhananda Sarasvati.
Although acceptance of tridanda-sannyasa is not distinctly mentioned in
the Gaudiya Vaisnava literature, the first verse of Srila Rupa Gosvami's
Upadesamrta advocates that one should accept the tridanda-sannyasa order
by controlling the six forces:
vaco vegam manasah krodha-vegam
jihva-vegam udaropastha-vegam
etan vegan yo visaheta dhirah
sarvam apimam prthivim sa sisyat
[NoI 1]
"One who can control the forces of speech, mind, anger, belly, tongue
and genitals is known as a gosvami and is competent to accept disciples
all over the world." The followers of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu never
accepted the Mayavada order of sannyasa, and for this they cannot be
blamed. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu accepted Sridhara Svami, who was a
tridandi-sannyasi, but the Mayavadi sannyasis, not understanding
Sridhara Svami, sometimes think that Sridhara Svami belonged to the
Mayavada ekadanda-sannyasa community. Actually this was not the case.

paratma-nistha-matra vesa-dharana

SYNONYMS
para-atma-nistha-matra -- only for the determination to serve Krsna;
vesa-dharana -- changing the dress; mukunda-sevaya -- by serving Mukunda;
haya -- there is; samsara-tarana -- liberation from this material
bondage.
TRANSLATION
The real purpose of accepting sannyasa is to dedicate oneself to the
service of Mukunda. By serving Mukunda, one can actually be liberated
from the bondage of material existence.
PURPORT
In this connection, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says that Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu accepted the sannyasa order and recommended the determination
of the Avantipura bhiksu to engage in the service of Mukunda. He
accepted the brahmana's version due to his determination to serve
Mukunda. The sannyasi dress is actually an attraction for material
formality. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not like such formality, but He
wanted the essence of it -- service to Mukunda. Such determination in
any condition is paratma-nistha. That is required. The conclusion is
that the sannyasa order depends not on the dress but the determination
to serve Mukunda.

the wife of Advaita Acarya; visnu-samarpana -- offering to Lord Visnu;
kaila -- did; acarya -- Advaita Acarya; apani -- Himself.
TRANSLATION
All the eatables were first cooked by the wife of Advaita Acarya. Then
Srila Advaita Acarya personally offered everything to Lord Visnu.
PURPORT
This is the ideal householder's life. The husband and wife live together,
and the husband works very hard to secure paraphernalia for worshiping
Lord Visnu. The wife at home cooks a variety of foods for Lord
Visnu, and the husband offers it to the Deity. After that, arati is
performed, and the prasadam is distributed amongst family members and
guests. According to the Vedic principles, there must always be a guest
in a householder's house. In my childhood I have actually seen my
father receive not less than four guests every day, and in those days my
father's income was not very great. Nonetheless, there was no difficulty
in offering prasadam to at least four guests every day. According to
Vedic principles, a householder, before taking lunch, should go outside
and shout very loudly to see if there is anyone without food. In this
way he invites people to take prasadam. If someone comes, the
householder offers him prasadam, and if there is not much left, he
should offer his own portion to the guest. If no one responds to his
call, the householder can accept his own lunch. Thus the householder's
life is also a kind of austerity. Because of this, the householder's
life is called the grhastha-asrama. Although a person may live with his
wife and children happily in Krsna consciousness, he also observes the
regulative principles followed in any temple. If there is no Krsna
consciousness, the householder's abode is called a grha-medhi's
house. Householders in Krsna consciousness are actually grhasthas --
that is, those living in the asrama with their families and children.
Sri Advaita Prabhu was an ideal grhastha, and His house was the ideal
grhastha-asrama.

TRANSLATION
All the prepared food was divided into three equal parts. One part was
arranged on a metal plate for offering to Lord Krsna.
PURPORT
The word badaila, meaning "increased," is very significant in this verse.
It is a sophisticated word used by the grhasthas in Bengal. Whenever
food is prepared and we take away a portion, the food is actually
decreased. But here it is the system to say badaila, or "increased." If
food is prepared for Krsna and offered to Him and the Vaisnavas, the
stock is increased, never decreased.

PURPORT
Although the Hindus and Muslims lived together in a very friendly manner,
still there were distinctions between them. The Muslims were
considered yavanas, or low-born, and whenever a Muslim was invited,
he would be fed outside of the house. Although personally called by Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu to take prasadam with Them,
still, out of great humility, Haridasa Thakura submitted, "I shall take
the prasadam outside of the house." Although Haridasa Thakura was an
exalted Vaisnava accepted by Advaita Acarya, Nityananda Prabhu and Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, nonetheless, in order not to disturb social
tranquillity, he humbly kept himself in the position of a Muslim,
outside the jurisdiction of the Hindu community. Therefore he proposed
to take prasadam outside the house. Although he was in an exalted
position and equal to other great Vaisnavas, he considered himself a
papistha, a most sinful man, and adhama, the lowest among men. Although
a Vaisnava may be very advanced spiritually, he keeps himself
externally humble and submissive.

two servings, on banana leaves, were to be accepted by Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda. That was Advaita Acarya's intention, but
He did not disclose this to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Thus when Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu saw the food offered in three places, He
thought that all of it was meant for Krsna.

prabhu kahe -- sannyasira bhaksya nahe upakarana
iha khaile kaiche haya indriya varana
SYNONYMS
prabhu kahe -- the Lord said; sannyasira -- by a sannyasi; bhaksya -- to
be eaten; nahe -- this is not; upakarana -- varieties of food; iha --
this; khaile -- if eating; kaiche -- how; haya -- there is; indriya --
senses; varana -- controlling.
TRANSLATION
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, "It is not proper for a sannyasi to eat
such a variety of foods. If he does, how can he control his senses?"
PURPORT
The word upakarana indicates a variety of foods, such as dhal,
vegetables and other varieties of possible dishes that one can eat very
nicely with rice. It is not proper, however, for a sannyasi to eat such
palatable dishes. If he did so, he would not be able to control his
senses. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not encourage sannyasis to eat very
palatable dishes, for the whole Vaisnava cult is vairagya-vidya, as
renounced as possible. Caitanya Mahaprabhu also advised Raghunatha dasa
Gosvami not to eat very palatable dishes, wear very nice garments or
talk on mundane subjects. These things are all prohibited for those in
the renounced order. A devotee does not accept anything to eat that is
not first offered to Krsna. All the rich foods offered to Krsna are
given to the grhasthas, the householders. There are many nice things
offered to Krsna -- garlands, bedsteads, nice ornaments, nice food and
even nicely prepared pan, betel nuts-but a humble Vaisnava, thinking
his body material and nasty, does not accept such preparations for
himself. He thinks that by accepting such things he will offend the
lotus feet of the Lord. Those who are sahajiyas cannot understand what
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu meant when He asked Advaita Acarya to bring two
separate leaves and give a small quantity of the prasadam to Him.

fill Your belly; sannyasa la-iyacha -- You have accepted the renounced
order of life; bujhi -- I understand; brahmana dandite -- to give
trouble to a brahmana.
TRANSLATION
Advaita Acarya said, "You are a reject paramahamsa, and You have
accepted the renounced order of life just to fill up Your belly. I can
understand that Your business is to give trouble to brahmanas."
PURPORT
There is always a difference of opinion between a smarta-brahmana and a
Vaisnava gosvami. There are even smarta opinions and Vaisnava gosvami
opinions available in astrological and astronomical calculations. By
calling Nityananda Prabhu a bhrasta avadhuta (a rejected paramahamsa),
Advaita Acarya Prabhu in a sense accepted Nityananda Prabhu as a
paramahamsa. In other words, Nityananda Prabhu had nothing to do with
the rules governing smarta-brahmanas. Thus under pretense of condemning
Him, Advaita Acarya was actually praising Him. In the avadhuta stage,
the paramahamsa stage, which is the supermost stage, one may appear to
be visayi, on the platform of sense gratification, but in actuality he
has nothing to do with sense gratification. At that stage, a person
sometimes accepts the symbols and dress of a sannyasi and sometimes
does not. Sometimes he dresses like a householder. We should know,
however, that these are all joking words between Advaita Acarya and
Nityananda Prabhu. They are not to be taken as insults.
In Khadadaha, sometimes people misunderstood Nityananda Prabhu to belong
to the sakta-sampradaya, whose philosophy is antah saktah bahih saivah
sabhayam vaisnavo matah. According to the sakta-sampradaya, a person
called kaulavadhuta thinks materially while externally appearing to be a
great devotee of Lord Siva. When such a person is in an assembly of
Vaisnavas, he appears like a Vaisnava. Actually Nityananda Prabhu did
not belong to such a community. Nityananda Prabhu was always a
brahmacari of a sannyasi of the vaidika order. Actually He was a
paramahamsa. Sometimes He is accepted to be a disciple of Laksmipati
Tirtha. If He is so accepted, Nityananda Prabhu belonged to the Madhva-
sampradaya. He did not belong to the tantrika-sampradaya of Bengal.

touched; mora -- My; ange -- on the body; parama pavitra -- perfectly
purified; more -- Me; kaila -- made; ei -- this; dhange -- behavior.
TRANSLATION
When the rice thrown by Nityananda Prabhu touched His body, Advaita
Acarya thought Himself purified by the touch of remnants thrown by
Paramahamsa Nityananda. Therefore He began dancing.
PURPORT
The word avadhuta refers to one above all rules and regulations.
Sometimes, not observing all the rules and regulations of a sannyasi,
Nityananda Prabhu exhibited the behavior of a mad avadhuta. He threw the
remnants of food on the ground, and some of these remnants touched the
body of Advaita Acarya. Advaita Acarya accepted this happily because He
presented Himself as a member of the community of smarta-brahmanas. By
touching the remnants of food thrown by Nityananda Prabhu, Advaita
Acarya immediately felt Himself purified of all smarta contamination.
The remnants of food left by a pure Vaisnava are called maha-maha-
prasadam. This is completely spiritual and is identified with Lord Visnu.
Such remnants are not ordinary. The spiritual master is to be
considered on the stage of paramahamsa and beyond the jurisdiction of
the varnasrama institution. The remnants of food left by the spiritual
master and similar paramahamsas, or pure Vaisnavas, are purifying. When
an ordinary person touches such prasadam, his mind is purified, and his
mind is raised to the status of a pure brahmana. The behavior and
statements of Advaita Acarya are meant for the understanding of ordinary
people who are unaware of the strength of spiritual values, not knowing
the potency of food left by the bona fide spiritual master and
pure Vaisnavas.

jati-kula nahi -- there is no indication of Your caste and family;

TRANSLATION
Advaita Acarya jokingly said, "My dear Nityananda, I invited You, and
indeed I have received the results. You have no fixed caste or dynasty.
By nature You are a madman.
PURPORT
The words sahaje pagala ("by nature a madman") indicate that Nityananda
Prabhu was transcendentally situated on the paramahamsa stage. Because
He always remembered Radha-Krsna and Their service, this was
transcendental madness. Sri Advaita Acarya was pointing out this fact.
Madhya 3.98
TEXT 98
TEXT
apanara sama more karibara tare
jhutha dile, vipra bali' bhaya na karile
SYNONYMS
apanara sama -- like You; more -- Me; karibara tare -- for making;
jhutha -- remnants of food; dile -- You have given; vipra bali' --
considering as a brahmana; bhaya -- fear; na karile -- You did not do.
TRANSLATION
"To make Me a madman like Yourself, You have thrown the remnants of Your
food at Me. You did not even fear the fact that I am a brahmana."
PURPORT
The words apanara sama indicate that Advaita Acarya considered Himself
to belong to the smarta-brahmanas, and He considered Nityananda Prabhu
to be on the transcendental stage with pure Vaisnavas. Lord Nityananda
gave Advaita Acarya His remnants to situate Him on the same platform and
make Him a pure unalloyed Vaisnava or paramahamsa. Advaita Acarya's
statement indicates that a paramahamsa Vaisnava is transcendentally
situated. A pure Vaisnava is not subject to the rules and regulations of
the smarta-brahmanas. That was the reason for Advaita Acarya's stating,
apanara sama more karibara tare: "to raise Me to Your own standard." A
pure Vaisnava, or a person on the paramahamsa stage, accepts the
remnants of food (maha-prasadam) as spiritual. He does not consider it
to be material or sense gratificatory. He accepts maha-prasadam not as
ordinary dhal and rice but as spiritual substance. To say nothing of the
remnants of food left by a pure Vaisnava, prasadam is never polluted
even if it is touched by the mouth of a candala. Indeed, it retains its
spiritual value. Therefore by eating or touching such maha-prasadam, a
brahmana is not degraded. There is no question of being polluted by
touching the remnants of such food. Actually, by eating such maha-
prasadam, one is freed from all the contaminations of the material
condition. That is the verdict of the sastra.

maha -- prasadam of Lord Krsna; ihake -- unto it; jhutha --
remnants of food; kahile -- if You say; tumi -- You; kaile -- have
made; aparadha -- offense.
TRANSLATION
Nityananda Prabhu replied, "These are the remnants of food left by Lord
Krsna. If You take them to be ordinary remnants, You have committed an
offense."
PURPORT
In the Brhad-visnu Purana it is stated that one who considers maha-
prasadam to be equal to ordinary rice and dhal certainly commits a great
offense. Ordinary edibles are touchable and untouchable, but there are
no such dualistic considerations where prasadam is concerned. Prasadam
is transcendental, and there are no transformations or contaminations,
just as there are no contaminations or transformations in the body of
Lord Visnu Himself. Thus even if one is a brahmana he is certain to be
attacked by leprosy and bereft of all family members if he makes such
dualistic considerations. Such an offender goes to hell, never to return.
This is the injunction of the Brhad-visnu Purana.

misunderstood to refer to Madhavendra Puri. Advaita Acarya was a
disciple of Madhavendra Puri, and consequently some people think that He
was referring to Madhavendra Puri by using the word madhava. But
actually this is not the fact. This song was composed to commemorate the
separation of Krsna from Radharani during Krsna's absence in Mathura.
It is thought that this song was sung by Srimati Radharani when
Krsna returned. It is technically called Mathura-viraha.

Harsa is described in the Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu. Harsa is experienced
when one finally attains the desired goal of life and consequently
becomes very glad. When harsa is present, the body shivers, and one's
bodily hairs stand on end. There are perspiration, tears and an outburst
of passion and madness. The mouth becomes swollen, and one experiences
inertia and illusion. When a person attains his desired object and feels
very fortunate, the luster of his body increases. Because of his own
qualities and feelings of greatness, he does not care for anyone else,
and this is called garva, or pride. In this condition one utters prayers
and does not reply to others' inquiries. Looking at one's own body,
concealing one's desires and not heeding the words of others are
symptoms visible in the ecstasy of garva.

When mother Saci was thus overwhelmed in maternal love for Lord Caitanya

PURPORT
These verses indicate that mother Saci, born in the family of Nilambara
Cakravarti, used to worship Lord Visnu even before her marriage. As
stated in the Bhagavad-gita (6.41):
prapya punya-krtam lokan usitva sasvatih samah
sucinam srimatam gehe yoga-bhrasto 'bhijayate
"The unsuccessful yogi, after many, many years of enjoyment on the
planets of the pious living entities, is born into a family of righteous
people, or into a family of rich aristocracy." Mother Saci, a nitya-
siddha living entity, is an incarnation of mother Yasoda. She appeared
in the house of Nilambara Cakravarti and was everlastingly engaged in
the service of Lord Visnu. Later she directly had as her child Lord
Visnu, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and she served Him from the day of His
appearance. This is the position of nitya-siddha associates. Sri
Narottama dasa Thakura therefore sings: gaurangera sangi-gane nitya-
siddha kari mane. Every devotee should know that all the associates of
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu -- His family members, friends and other
associates -- were all nitya-siddhas. A nitya-siddha never forgets the
service of the Lord. He is always engaged, even from childhood, in
worshiping the Supreme Personality of Godhead.

Since Advaita Acarya was giving alms and food to Lord Caitanya

to give Him alms and invite Him for lunch.
PURPORT
It is the duty of all grhasthas to invite a sannyasi to their homes if
he happens to be in the neighborhood or village. This very system is
still current in India. If a sannyasi is in the neighborhood of a
village, he is invited by all householders, one after another. As long
as a sannyasi remains in the village, he enlightens the inhabitants in
spiritual understanding. In other words, a sannyasi has no housing or
food problems even when he travels extensively. Even though Advaita
Acarya was supplying Caitanya Mahaprabhu with prasadam, the other
devotees from Navadvipa and Santipura also desired to offer Him prasadam.

TRANSLATION
Sacimata said, "It will be a great happiness for me if Nimai [Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu] stays here. But at the same time, if someone blames
Him, it will be my great unhappiness."
PURPORT
It is a great happiness for a mother if her son does not leave home to
search out Krsna but remains with her. At the same time, if a son does
not search after Krsna but simply remains at home, he is certainly
blamed by experienced saintly persons. Such blame certainly causes great
unhappiness for a mother. If a real mother wants her son to progress
spiritually, she had better allow him to go out searching for Krsna. The
mother naturally desires the welfare of the son. If a mother does not
allow her son to search for Krsna, she is called ma, which indicates
maya. By allowing her son to go as a sannyasi and search for Krsna,
Sacimata instructs all mothers of the world. She indicates that all sons
should become real devotees of Krsna and should not stay at home under
the care of an affectionate mother. This is supported by Srimad-
Bhagavatam (5.5.18):
gurur na sa syat sva-jano na sa syat
pita na sa syaj janani na sa syat
daivam na tat syan na patis ca sa syan
na mocayed yah samupeta-mrtyum
"No one should become a spiritual master -- nor a relative, father,
mother, worshipable Deity or husband -- if he cannot help a person
escape the imminent path of death." Every living entity is wandering
within the universe, subjected to the law of karma and transmigrating
from one body to another and from one planet to another. Therefore the
whole Vedic process is meant to save the wandering living entities from
the clutches of maya -- birth, death, disease and old age. This means
stopping the cycle of birth and death. This cycle can be stopped only if
one worships Krsna. As the Lord says in the Bhagavad-gita (4.9):
janma karma ca me divyam evam yo vetti tattvatah
tyaktva deham punar janma naiti mam eti so 'rjuna
"One who knows the transcendental nature of My appearance and activities
does not, upon leaving the body, take his birth again in this material
world, but attains My eternal abode, O Arjuna."
To stop the cycle of birth and death, one has to understand Krsna as He
is. Simply by knowing Krsna, one can stop the process of rebirth into
this material world. By acting in Krsna consciousness, one can return to
Godhead. The highest perfection of life is for a father, mother,
spiritual master, husband or any other family member to help others
return home, back to Godhead. That is the most preferred welfare
activity for the benefit of relatives. Therefore, Sacimata, although the
mother of Nimai Pandita, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, considered all the
facts and decided to allow her son to go out and search for Krsna. At
the same time, she made some arrangements in order that she might get
news of all the activities of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

SYNONYMS
ghare yana -- returning home; kara -- kindly do; sada -- always; krsna-
sankirtana -- chanting of the holy name of the Lord; krsna-nama -- the
holy name of the Lord; krsna-katha -- discussion of Krsna's pastimes;
krsna -- of Lord Krsna; aradhana -- worshiping.
TRANSLATION
Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu requested them all to return home and begin
chanting the holy name congregationally. He also requested them to
worship Krsna, chant His holy name and discuss His holy pastimes.
PURPORT
The cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Hare Krsna movement, is very
nicely explained by Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu authoritatively. It is not
that everyone has to take sannyasa like Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Everyone can execute the cult of Krsna consciousness at home, as ordered
by the Lord. Everyone can congregationally chant the holy name of Krsna,
the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. One can also discuss the subject matter of
the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-Bhagavatam and install Deities of Radha-
Krsna or Gaura-Nitai or both and worship them very carefully in one's
own home. It is not that we have to open different centers all over the
world. Whoever cares for the Krsna consciousness movement can install
Deities at home and, under superior guidance, worship the Deity
regularly, chanting the maha-mantra and discussing the Bhagavad-gita and
Srimad-Bhagavatam. We are actually teaching in our classes how to go
about this. One who feels that he is not yet ready to live in a temple
or undergo strict regulative principles in the temple -- especially
householders who live with a wife and children -- can start a center at
home by installing the Deity, worshiping the Lord morning and evening,
chanting Hare Krsna and discussing the Bhagavad-gita and Srimad-
Bhagavatam. Anyone can do this at home without difficulty, and Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu requested all the devotees present there to do so.

TRANSLATION
Haridasa Thakura said, "You are going to Jagannatha Puri, and that is
all right, but what will be my destination? I am not able to go to
Jagannatha Puri.
PURPORT
Although Srila Haridasa Thakura was born in a Muslim family, he was
accepted as a properly initiated brahmana. As such, he had every right
to enter the temple of Jagannatha Puri, but because there were some
rules and regulations stipulating that only brahmanas, ksatriyas,
vaisyas and sudras (members of the varnasrama-dharma system) could enter,
Haridasa Thakura, out of his great humility, did not want to violate
these existing rules. He therefore said that he did not have the
strength to enter into the temple, and he pointed out that if Lord Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu lived within the temple, there would be no way for
Haridasa Thakura to see Him. Later, when Haridasa Thakura went to
Jagannatha Puri, he lived outside the temple, at a place called
Siddhabakula. A monastery has now been erected there, known as
Siddhabakula Matha. People who visit Jagannatha Puri often go to see
Siddhabakula and the tomb of Haridasa Thakura, on the beach by the sea.

TRANSLATION
In this way all the opulences of Advaita Acarya -- His faith, devotion,
home, riches and everything else -- were successfully utilized in the
worship of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
PURPORT
Advaita Acarya set an ideal example for all householder devotees in His
reception of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His devotees and in His
execution of a daily festival at His home. If one has the proper means
and wealth, he should occasionally invite the devotees of Lord Caitanya
who are engaged in preaching all over the world and hold a festival at
home simply by distributing prasadam and talking about Krsna during the
day and holding congregational chanting for at least three hours in the
evening. This procedure must be adopted in all centers of the Krsna
consciousness movement. Thus they will daily perform sankirtana-yajna.
In Srimad-Bhagavatam (11.5.32) the daily performance of sankirtana-yajna
is recommended for this age (yajnaih sankirtana-prayair yajanti hi
su-medhasah). One should worship Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and
His four associates, the Panca-tattva, by distributing prasadam and
holding congregational chanting. Indeed, that, yajna or sacrifice, is
most recommended in this Age of Kali. In this age, other yajnas are not
possible to perform, but this yajna can be performed everywhere and
anywhere without difficulty.

acarya -- Advaita Acarya; pascat -- behind; calila -- went.
TRANSLATION
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was unaffected. He left swiftly, and Advaita
Acarya followed Him, weeping.
PURPORT
As Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura explains, the word nirapeksa
means not being affected by anything material and remaining fixed in the
service of the Lord. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not very much care for
the roaring tumult and cry at the house of Advaita Acarya, which He
heard when starting for Jagannatha Puri. Worldly moralists may criticize
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu for being very cruel, but the Lord did not care
for such criticism. As the world teacher of this Krsna consciousness
movement, He actually showed that a person seriously engaged in Krsna
consciousness should not be affected by worldly affection. The best
course is to engage in rendering service to the Lord and to become
callous to material objectives. Externally everyone is attached to
material things, but if one becomes entangled in such things, he cannot
make progress in Krsna consciousness. Therefore those who are engaged in
Krsna consciousness should not care for the so-called morality of the
material world if that morality opposes the service of the Lord. As Lord
Caitanya Mahaprabhu has personally shown, one cannot properly execute
Krsna consciousness without being neutral.

The Lord, with the other four persons, went along the banks of the

PURPORT
In the southern section of the Eastern Railway, in the district of
twenty-four parganas, is a station named Magrahata. If one goes to the
southeastern side of that station for some fourteen miles, there is a
place called Jayanagara. About six miles south of this Jayanagara
station is a village named Chatrabhoga. Sometimes this village is called
Khadi. In this village is a Deity of Lord Siva known as Vaijurkanatha. A
festival takes place there every year during the month of Caitra (
March-April). The festival is known as Nanda-mela. At the present moment
the Ganges does not flow there. On the same railway line is another
station, known as Baruipura, and near this station is another place,
called Atisara. Formerly this village was also situated on the banks of
the Ganges. One can go from this village to Panihati and from there to
Varaha-nagara, north of Calcutta. In those days the Ganges flowed to the
south of Calcutta through Kali-ghata, which is still known as Adi-ganga.
From Baruipura, the Ganges branched out and flowed through Diamond
Harbor near the Mathurapura police station. It is to be noted that Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu passed through all these places on His way to
Jagannatha Puri.

He passed through Prayaga-ghata; the Suvarnarekha River; Remuna;
Yajapura, where He bathed at the Dasasvamedha-ghata, on the
Vaitarani River; Kataka (Cuttak), where the Mahanadi River flows;

other places, He reached Jagannatha Puri.
