Madhya 4-1975: Sri Madhavendra Puri's Devotional Service
Chapter 4
Sri Madhavendra Puri's Devotional Service
In his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura gives the
following summary of the Fourth Chapter. Passing along the path of
Chatrabhoga and coming to Vrddhamantresvara, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
reached the border of Orissa. On His way He enjoyed transcendental bliss
by chanting and begging alms in different villages. In this way He
reached the celebrated village of Remuna, where there is a Deity of
Gopinatha. There He narrated the story of Madhavendra Puri, as He had
heard it from His spiritual master, Isvara Puri. The narration is as
follows.
One night while in Govardhana, Madhavendra Puri dreamed that the Gopala
Deity was within the forest. The next morning he invited his
neighborhood friends to accompany him to excavate the Deity from the
jungle. He then established the Deity of Sri Gopalaji on top of
Govardhana Hill with great pomp. Gopala was worshiped, and the Annakuta
festival was observed. This festival was known everywhere, and many
people from the neighboring villages came to join. One night the Gopala
Deity again appeared to Madhavendra Puri in a dream and asked him to go
to Jagannatha Puri to collect some sandalwood pulp and smear it on the
body of the Deity. Having received this order, Madhavendra Puri
immediately started for Orissa. Traveling through Bengal, he reached
Remuna village and there received a pot of condensed milk (ksira)
offered to the Deity of Gopinathaji. This pot of condensed milk was
stolen by Gopinatha and delivered to Madhavendra Puri. Since then, the
Gopinatha Deity has been known as Ksira-cora-gopinatha, the Deity who
stole the pot of condensed milk. After reaching Jagannatha Puri,
Madhavendra Puri received permission from the King to take out one mana
of sandalwood and eight ounces of camphor. Aided by two men, he brought
these things to Remuna. Again He saw in a dream that Gopala at
Govardhana Hill desired that very sandalwood to be turned into pulp
mixed with camphor and smeared over the body of Gopinathaji.
Understanding that that would satisfy the Gopala Deity at Govardhana,
Madhavendra Puri executed the order and returned to Jagannatha Puri.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu narrated this story for Lord Nityananda Prabhu
and other devotees and praised the pure devotional service of
Madhavendra Puri. When He recited some verses composed by Madhavendra
Puri, He went into an ecstatic mood. But when He saw that many people
were assembled, He checked Himself and ate some sweet rice prasada.
Thus He passed that night, and the next morning He again started for
Jagannatha Puri.

PURPORT
Bhaktivinoda Thakura annotates that this Gopala Deity was originally
installed by Vajra, the grandson of Krsna. Madhavendra Puri
rediscovered Gopala and established Him on top of Govardhana Hill. This
Gopala Deity is still situated at Nathadvara and is under the management
of descendants of Vallabhacarya. The worship of the Deity is very
luxurious, and one who goes there can purchase varieties of prasada by
paying a small price.

water, I will accept it." (Bg. 9.26) The Lord is purna, complete, and
therefore He eats everything offered by His devotees. However, by the
touch of His transcendental hand, all the food remains exactly as before.
It is the quality that is changed. Before the food was offered, it was
something else, but after it is offered the food acquires a
transcendental quality. Because the Lord is purna, He remains the same
even after eating. Purnasya purnam adaya purnam evavasisyate
. The food offered to Krsna is qualitatively as good as Krsna;
just as Krsna is avyaya, indestructible, the food eaten by Krsna, being
identical with Him, remains as before.
Apart from this, Krsna can eat the food with any one of His
transcendental senses. He can eat by seeing the food, or by touching it.
Nor should one think that it is necessary for Krsna to eat. He does not
become hungry like an ordinary human being; nonetheless, He presents
Himself as being hungry, and as such, He can eat everything and anything,
regardless of quantity. The philosophy underlying Krsna's eating is
understandable by our transcendental senses. When our senses are
purified by constantly being engaged in the devotional service of the
Lord, we can understand Krsna's activities, names, forms, qualities,
pastimes, and entourage.
atah sri-krsna-namadi
na bhaved grahyam indriyaih
sevonmukhe hi jihvadau
svayam eva sphuraty adah
"No one can understand Krsna by the blunt material senses. But He
reveals Himself to the devotees, being pleased with them for their
transcendental loving service unto Him." (Bh.r.s. 1.2.
234) The devotees understand Krsna through revelation. It is not
possible for a mundane scholar to understand Krsna and His pastimes
through research work on the nondevotional platform.

festival; kaila -- performed; gopala -- of Gopala; prabhave -- by the
potency; haya -- is possible; anye -- others; na -- not; janila -- know.
TRANSLATION
The wonderful festival and installation of Sri Gopalaji was arranged in
one day. Certainly all this was accomplished by the potency of Gopala.
No one but a devotee can understand this.
PURPORT
The Krsna consciousness movement has spread all over the world within a
very short time (within five years), and mundane people are very
astonished at this. However, by the grace of Lord Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu, we understand that everything is possible by the grace of
Krsna. Why does Krsna have to take five years? In five days He can
spread His name and fame all over the world like wildfire. Those who
have faith and devotion to Krsna can understand that these things
happen so wonderfully by the grace of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. We are
simply the instruments. In the fierce Battle of Kuruksetra, Arjuna was
victorious within eighteen days simply because Krsna's grace was on his
side.
yatra yogesvarah krsno
yatra partho dhanur-dharah
tatra srir vijayo bhutir
dhruva nitir matir mama
"Wherever there is Krsna, the master of all mystics, and wherever there
is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence,
victory, extraordinary power and morality. That is my opinion." (Bg. 18.
78)
If the preachers in our Krsna consciousness movement are sincere
devotees of Krsna, Krsna will always be with them because He is very
kind and favorable to all His devotees. Just as Arjuna and Krsna were
victorious in the Battle of Kuruksetra, this Krsna consciousness
movement will surely emerge victorious if we but remain sincere devotees
of the Lord and serve the Lord according to the advice of
predecessors (the six Gosvamis and other devotees of the Lord). As
Narottama dasa Thakura has stated: tandera carana sevi bhakta-sane vasa,
janame janame haya ei abhilasa. The Krsna consciousness devotees must
always desire to remain in the society of devotees. Bhakta-sane vasa:
they cannot go outside the Krsna conscious society or the movement.
Within the society we must try to serve the predecessors by preaching
Caitanya Mahaprabhu's cult and spreading His name and fame all over the
world. If we attempt this seriously within the society, it will be
successfully done. There is no question of estimating how this will
happen in the mundane sense. But without a doubt, it happens by the
grace of Krsna.

offered the remnants of food, and then the others (ksatriyas, vaisyas

in India, even though the caste brahmanas are not qualified. The system
is still current due to the varnasrama institutional rules and

Seeing the influence of Madhavendra Puri, all the people gathered there
were struck with wonder. They saw that the Annakuta ceremony, which had
been performed before during the time of Krsna, was now taking place
again by the mercy of Sri Madhavendra Puri.
PURPORT
Formerly, at the end of Dvapara-yuga, all the cowherd men of Vrndavana
had arranged to worship King Indra, but they gave this worship up,
following the advice of Krsna. Instead, they performed a ceremony
whereby they worshiped the cows, brahmanas and Govardhana Hill. At that
time Krsna expanded Himself and declared, "I am Govardhana Hill." In
this way He accepted all the paraphernalia and foodstuff offered to
Govardhana Hill. It is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.24.26, 31-33):
pacyantam vividhah pakah
supantah paya-sadayah
samyava-pupa-saskulyah
sarva-dohas ca grhyatam
kalatmana bhagavata
sakra-darpam jighamsata

"'Prepare very nice foodstuffs of all descriptions from the grains and
ghee collected for the yajna. Prepare rice, dahl, then halavah, pakora,
puri and all kinds of milk preparations like sweet rice, sweetballs,
sandesa, rasagulla and laddu.'
"The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, therefore advised the
cowherd men to stop the Indra-yajna and begin the Govardhana-puja to
chastise Indra, who was very much puffed up at being the supreme
controller of the heavenly planets. The honest and simple cowherd men,
headed by Nanda Maharaja, accepted Krsna's proposal and executed in
detail everything He advised. They performed Govardhana worship and
circumambulation of the hill. According to the instruction of Lord Krsna,
Nanda Maharaja and the cowherd men called in learned brahmanas and
began to worship Govardhana Hill by chanting Vedic hymns and offering
prasada. The inhabitants of Vrndavana assembled together, decorated
their cows and gave them grass. Keeping the cows in front, they began to
circumambulate Govardhana Hill."

sakala brahmane puri vaisnava karila
sei sei seva-madhye saba niyojila
SYNONYMS
sakala brahmane -- all the brahmanas who were present there; puri --
Madhavendra Puri Gosvami; vaisnava karila -- elevated to the position of
Vaisnavas; sei sei -- under different divisions; seva-madhye -- in
rendering service; saba -- all of them; niyojila -- were engaged.
TRANSLATION
All the brahmanas present on that occasion were initiated by Madhavendra
Puri into the Vaisnava cult, and Madhavendra Puri engaged them in
different types of service.
PURPORT
In the scriptures it is stated: sat-karma-nipuno vipro mantra-tantra-
visaradah avaisnavah. Even though a caste brahmana or a qualified
brahmana is expert in the occupational duties of a brahmana, he is
not necessarily a Vaisnava. His duties are mentioned as six brahminical
engagements. Pathana means that a brahmana must be conversant with the
Vedic scriptures. He must also be able to teach others to study
Vedic literatures. This is pathana. He must also be expert in worshiping
different deities and in performing the Vedic rituals (yajana). On
account of this yajana, the brahmana, being the head of society,
performs all the Vedic rituals for ksatriyas, vaisyas, and sudras. This
is called yajana, assisting others in performing ceremonies. The
remaining two items are dana and pratigraha. The brahmana accepts all
kinds of contributions (pratigraha) from his followers (mainly, the
ksatriyas, vaisyas and sudras). But he does not keep all the money. He
keeps only as much as required and gives the balance to others in
charity (dana).
In order for such a qualified brahmana to worship the Deity, he must be
a Vaisnava. Thus the Vaisnava's position is superior to that of the
brahmana. This example given by Madhavendra Puri confirms that even
though a brahmana may be very expert, he cannot become a priest or
servitor of the Visnu murti unless he is initiated in vaisnava-mantra.
After installing the Deity of Gopala, Madhavendra Puri initiated all the
brahmanas into Vaisnavism. He then allotted the brahmanas different
types of service to the Deity. From four in the morning until ten at
night (from mangala-aratrika to sayana-aratrika), there must be at least
five or six brahmanas to take care of the Deity. Six aratrikas are
performed in the temple, and food is frequently offered to the Deity and
the prasada distributed. This is the method of worshiping the Deity
according to the rules and regulations set by predecessors. Our
sampradaya belongs to the disciplic succession of Madhavendra Puri, who
belonged to the Madhva-sampradaya. We are in the disciplic succession of
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who was initiated by Sri Isvara Puri, a
disciple of Madhavendra Puri's. Our sampradaya is therefore called the
Madhva-Gaudiya-sampradaya. As such, we must carefully follow in the
footsteps of Sri Madhavendra Puri and observe how he installed the
Gopala Deity on top of Govardhana Hill, how he arranged and performed
the Annakuta ceremony in only one day, and so forth. Our installation of
Deities in America and in the wealthy countries of Europe should be
carried out in terms of Sri Madhavendra Puri's activities. All the
servitors of the Deity must be strictly qualified as brahmanas and,
specifically, must engage in the Vaisnava custom of offering as much
prasada as possible and distributing it to the devotees who visit the
temple to see the Lord.

TRANSLATION
The inhabitants of the village brought to the Deity of Gopala as much
food grains, ghee, yogurt and milk as they had in their village.
PURPORT
Anna, ghrta, dadhi and dugdha are food grains, ghee, yogurt and milk.
Actually these are the basis of all food. Vegetables and fruits are
subsidiary. Hundreds and thousands of recipes can be made out of
grains, vegetables, ghee, milk and yogurt. The food offered to Gopala in
the Annakuta ceremony contained only these five ingredients. Only
demoniac people are attracted to other types of food, which we will not
even mention in this connection. We should understand that in order to
prepare nutritious food, we require only grains, ghee, yogurt and milk.
We cannot offer anything else to the Deity. The Vaisnava, the perfect
human being, does not accept anything not offered to the Deity. People
are often frustrated with national food policies, but from the Vedic
scriptures we find that if there are sufficient cows and grains, the
entire food problem is solved. The vaisyas (people engaged in
agriculture and commerce) are therefore recommended in Bhagavad-gita
to produce grains and give protection to cows. Cows are the most
important animal because they produce the miracle food, milk, from which
we can prepare ghee and yogurt.
The perfection of human civilization depends on Krsna consciousness,
which recommends Deity worship. Preparations made from vegetables,
grains, milk, ghee and yogurt are offered to the Deity and then
distributed. Here we can see the difference between the East and the
West. The people who came to see the Deity of Gopala brought all kinds
of food to offer the Deity. They brought all the food they had in stock,
and they came before the Deity not only to accept prasada for
themselves, but to distribute it to others. The Krsna consciousness
movement vigorously approves this practice of preparing food, offering
it to the Deity, and distributing it to the general population. This
activity should be extended universally to stop sinful eating habits as
well as other behavior befitting only demons. A demoniac civilization
will never bring peace within the world. Since eating is the first
necessity in human society, those engaged in solving the problems of
preparing and distributing food should take lessons from Madhavendra
Puri and execute the Annakuta ceremony. When the people take to eating
only prasada offered to the Deity, all the demons will be turned into
Vaisnavas. When the people are Krsna conscious, naturally the government
will be so also. A Krsna conscious man is always a very liberal well-
wisher of everyone. When such men head the government, the people will
certainly be sinless. They will no longer be disturbing demons. It is
then and then only that a peaceful condition can prevail in society.

TRANSLATION
The ideal place to execute Krsna consciousness is Vrajabhumi, or
Vrndavana, where the people are naturally inclined to love Krsna and
Krsna is naturally inclined to love them.
PURPORT
In Bhagavad-gita it is said: ye yatha mam prapadyante tams
tathaiva bhajamy aham. There is a responsive cooperation between the
Supreme Lord Krsna and His devotees. The more a devotee sincerely loves
Krsna, the more Krsna reciprocates, so much so that a highly advanced
devotee can talk with Krsna face to face. Krsna confirms this in
Bhagavad-gita:
tesam satata-yuktanam
bhajatam priti-purvakam
dadami buddhi-yogam tam
yena mam upayanti te
"To those who are constantly devoted and worship Me with love, I give
the understanding by which they can come to Me." (Bg.10.10) The actual
mission of human life is to understand Krsna and return home, back to
Godhead. Therefore one who is sincerely engaged in the service of the
Lord with love and faith can talk with Krsna and receive instructions by
which he can speedily return home, back to Godhead. Today many scholars
defend the science of religion, and they have some conception of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, but religion without practical
experience of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is no religion at all.
Srimad-Bhagavatam describes this as a form of cheating. Religion means
abiding by the orders of Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If
one is not qualified to talk with Him and take lessons from Him, how can
one understand the principles of religion? Thus talks of religion or
religious experience without Krsna consciousness are a useless waste of
time.

Each and every family residing in the land of Vrajabhumi contributed one

PURPORT
This is the way to install the Deity, construct the temple and increase
the property of the temple. Everyone should be enthusiastic to
contribute to the construction of the temple for the Deity, and everyone
should also contribute food for the distribution of prasada. The
devotees should preach the gospel of devotional service and thus engage
people in practical service to the Deity. Wealthy people can also be
attracted to take part in these activities. In this way everyone will
become spiritually inclined, and the entire society will be converted to
Krsna consciousness. The desire to satisfy the material senses will
automatically diminish, and the senses will become so purified that they
will be able to engage in bhakti (devotional service to the Lord).
Hrsikena hrsikesa-sevanam bhaktir ucyate. By serving
the Lord, one's senses are gradually purified. The engagement of one's
purified senses in the service of Lord Hrsikesa is called bhakti. When
the dormant propensity for bhakti is awakened, one can understand the
Supreme Personality of Godhead as He is. Bhaktya mam abhijanati yavan
yas casmi tattvatah. (Bg. 18.55) This is the process of giving humanity
the chance to awaken Krsna consciousness. Thus people can perfect their
lives in all respects.

TRANSLATION
These two were then initiated by Madhavendra Puri, and he entrusted them
with the daily service of the Lord. This service was performed
continuously, and the worship of the Deity became very gorgeous. Thus
Madhavendra Puri was very pleased.
PURPORT
The Gosvamis started many temples, namely the
Govinda temple, Gopinatha, Madana-mohana, Radha-Damodara,
Syamasundara, Radharamana and Gokulananda. The disciples of the
Gosvamis were entrusted with the seva-puja (Deity worship) of these
temples. It was not that the disciples were family members of the
original Gosvamis. Most of the Gosvamis were in the renounced order of
life, and Jiva Gosvami in particular was a brahmacari. At
present, sevaitas assume the title of gosvami on the basis of their
being engaged as sevaitas of the Deity. The sevaitas who have inherited
their positions now assume proprietorship of the temples, and some of
them are selling the Deities' property as if it were their own. However,
the temples did not originally belong to these sevaitas.

TRANSLATION
In his dream, Madhavendra Puri saw Gopala, who said: "My bodily
temperature still has not decreased. Please bring sandalwood from the
Malaya province and smear the pulp over My body to cool Me.
PURPORT
The Deity of Gopala had been buried within the jungle for many years,
and although He was installed and was offered thousands of pots of water,
He still felt very hot. He therefore asked Madhavendra Puri to bring
sandalwood from the Malaya province. Sandalwood produced in Malaya is
very popular. That province is situated on the western ghata, and the
hill Nilagiri is sometimes known as Malaya Hill. The word malaya-ja is
used to indicate the sandalwood produced in the Malaya Province.
Sometimes the word Malaya refers to the modern country of Malaysia.
Formerly this country also produced sandalwood, but now they have found
it profitable to produce rubber trees. Although the Vedic culture was
once prevalent in Malaysia, now all the inhabitants are Mohammedans. The
Vedic culture is now lost in Malaysia, Java and Indonesia.

TRANSLATION
Advaita Acarya begged to be initiated by Madhavendra Puri. After
initiating Him, Madhavendra Puri started for South India.
PURPORT
In this connection, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura comments
that Advaita Acarya took initiation from Madhavendra Puri, who was a
sannyasi in the disciplic succession of the Madhva-sampradaya. According
to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu:
kiba vipra kiba nyasi sudra kene naya,
yei krsna-tattva-vetta, sei 'guru' haya
"A person may be a brahmana, sannyasi, a sudra or whatever, but if he
is well conversant in the science of Krsna, he can become a guru." (Cc.
Madhya 8.128) This statement is supported by Sri Madhavendra Puri.
According to the pancaratra injunction, only a householder brahmana can
initiate. Others cannot. When a person is initiated, it is assumed that
he has become a brahmana; without being initiated by a proper brahmana,
one cannot be converted into a brahmana. In other words, unless one is a
brahmana, he cannot make another a brahmana. A grhastha-brahmana
partaking of the varnasrama-dharma institution can secure various types
of paraphernalia to worship Lord Visnu through his honest labor.
Actually, people beg to be initiated by these householder brahmanas just
to become successful in the varnasrama institution or to become free
from material desires. It is therefore necessary for a spiritual master
in the grhastha-asrama to be a strict Vaisnava. A spiritual master from
the sannyasa order has very little opportunity to perform arcana, Deity
worship, but when one accepts a spiritual master from the transcendental
sannyasis, the principle of Deity worship is not at all neglected. To
implement this conclusion, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu gave us His opinion
in the verse kiba vipra kiba nyasi, etc. This indicates that the Lord
understood the weakness of society in its maintaining that only a
grhastha-brahmana should be a spiritual master. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
indicated that it does not matter whether the spiritual master is a
grhastha (householder), a sannyasi or even a sudra. A spiritual master
simply must be conversant in the essence of the sastra; he must
understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Only then can one become
a spiritual master. Diksa actually means initiating a disciple with
transcendental knowledge by which he becomes freed from all material
contamination.

virakta -- unattached; udasa -- indifferent; ayacita -- without begging;
paile -- if getting; kha'na -- he eats; nahe -- if not; upavasa --
fasting.
TRANSLATION
Madhavendra Puri avoided begging. He was completely unattached and
indifferent to material things. He would not beg. If someone
offered him some food, he would eat; otherwise he would fast.
PURPORT
This is the paramahamsa stage, the highest stage for a sannyasi. A
sannyasi can beg from door to door just to collect food, but a
paramahamsa who has taken ayacita-vrtti, or ajagara-vrtti, does not ask
anyone for food. If someone offers him food voluntarily, he eats.
Ayacita-vrtti means being accustomed to refrain from begging, and
ajagara-vrtti indicates one who is compared to a python, the big snake
that makes no effort to acquire food, but rather allows food to come
automatically within its mouth. In other words, a paramahamsa simply
engages exclusively in the service of the Lord, without caring even for
eating or sleeping. It was stated about the six Gosvamis: nidrahara-
viharakadi-vijitau. In the paramahamsa stage one conquers the desire for
sleep, food and sense gratification. One remains a humble, meek
mendicant engaged in the service of the Lord day and night.
Madhavendra Puri had attained this paramahamsa stage.

Lord; ksudha-trsna -- hunger and thirst; nahi -- not; badhe -- impede;
ksira -- for sweet rice; iccha -- the desire; haila -- became; tahe --
for that reason; mane -- he considers; aparadhe -- offense.
TRANSLATION
A paramahamsa like Madhavendra Puri is always satisfied in the loving
service of the Lord. Material hunger and thirst cannot impede his
activities. When he desired to taste a little sweet rice offered to the
Deity, he considered that he had committed an offense by desiring to eat
what was being offered to the Deity.
PURPORT
It is advisable that food being offered to the Deity be covered when
taken from the kitchen to the Deity room. In that way, others may not
see it. Those who are not accustomed to following the advanced
regulative devotional principles may desire to eat the food, and that is
an offense. Therefore no one should be given a chance to even see it.
However, when it is brought before the Deity, it must be uncovered.
Seeing the food uncovered before the Deity, Madhavendra Puri desired to
taste a little of it so that he could prepare a similar sweet rice for
his Gopala. Madhavendra Puri was so strict, however, that he considered
this to be an offense. Consequently he left the temple without saying
anything to anyone. The paramahamsa is therefore called vijita-sad-guna.
He must conquer the six material qualities -- kama, krodha, lobha, moha,
matsara, and ksudha-trsna (lust, anger, greed, illusion, enviousness,
hunger and thirst.)

-- sitting down; karena -- performs; kirtana -- chanting; etha -- in

TRANSLATION
Madhavendra Puri left the temple and sat down in the village marketplace,
which was vacant. Sitting there, he began to chant. In the meantime,
the temple priest laid the Deity down to rest.
PURPORT
Although Madhavendra Puri was not interested in eating and sleeping, his
interest in chanting the maha-mantra was as acute as if he were an
aspiring transcendentalist rather than a paramahamsa. This means that
even in the paramahamsa stage, one cannot give up chanting. Haridasa
Thakura and the Gosvamis were all engaged in chanting a fixed number of
rounds; therefore chanting on beads is very important for everyone, even
though one may become a paramahamsa. This chanting can be executed
anywhere, either inside or outside the temple. Madhavendra Puri even sat
down in a vacant marketplace to perform his chanting. As stated by
Srinivasa Acarya in his prayers to the Gosvamis: nama-gana-natibhih. A
paramahamsa devotee is always engaged in chanting and rendering loving
service to the Lord. Chanting the Lord's holy names and engaging in His
service are identical. As stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam (7.5.23), there
are nine kinds of devotional service: hearing (sravanam), chanting (
kirtanam), remembering (visnoh smaranam), serving (pada-sevanam),
worship of the Deity (arcanam), praying (vandanam), carrying out orders (
dasyam), serving Him as a friend (sakhyam), and sacrificing everything
for the Lord (atma-nivedanam). Although each process appears distinct,
when one is situated on the absolute platform he can see that they are
identical. For instance, hearing is as good as chanting, and remembering
is as good as chanting or hearing. Similarly, engaging in Deity worship
is as good as chanting, hearing or remembering. The devotee is expected
to accept all nine processes of devotional service, but even if only one
process is properly executed, he can still attain the highest position (
paramahamsa) and go back home, back to Godhead.

TRANSLATION
Holding the pot of sweet rice, the priest called: "Will he whose name is
Madhavendra Puri please come and take this pot! Gopinatha has stolen
this pot for you!"
PURPORT
The difference between the Absolute Truth and relative truth is
explained here. Lord Gopinatha has openly declared herein that He is a
thief. He had stolen the pot of sweet rice, and this was not kept a
secret because His act of stealing is a source of great transcendental
bliss. In the material world, theft is criminal, but in the spiritual
world the Lord's stealing is a source of transcendental bliss. Mundane
rascals, who cannot understand the absolute nature of the Personality of
Godhead, sometimes call Lord Sri Krsna immoral, but they do not know
that His seemingly immoral activities, which are not kept secret, afford
pleasure to the devotees. Not understanding the transcendental behavior
of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, these rascals slur His character
and immediately fall into the category of miscreants (rascals, lowest
among men, demons and those whose knowledge is taken away by the
illusory energy). Krsna explains in Bhagavad-gita:
na mam duskrtino mudhah
prapadyante naradhamah
mayayapahrta-jnana
asuram bhavam asritah
"Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, lowest among mankind,
whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the atheistic
nature of demons, do not surrender unto Me." (Bg. 7.15)
Mundane rascals cannot understand that whatever Krsna does, being
absolute in nature, is all good. This quality of the Lord is explained
in Srimad-Bhagavatam (Tenth Canto). One may consider certain acts of
a supremely powerful person to be immoral by mundane calculations, but
this is not actually the case. For example, the sun absorbs water from
the surface of the earth, but it does not absorb water only from the sea.
It also absorbs water from filthy sewers and ditches containing urine
and other impure substances. The sun is not polluted by absorbing such
water. Rather, the sun makes the filthy place pure. If a devotee
approaches the Supreme Personality of Godhead for an immoral or improper
purpose, he nonetheless becomes purified; the Lord does not become
infected. In Srimad-Bhagavatam it is stated that if one
approaches the Supreme Lord even out of lust, anger or fear (kamam
krodham bhayam), he is purified. (Bhag. 10.29.15) The gopis, being young
girls, approached Krsna because He was a beautiful young boy. From the
external point of view, they approached the Lord out of lust, and the
Lord danced with them at midnight. From the mundane point of view, these
activities may appear immoral because a married or unmarried young girl
cannot leave home to mix with a young boy and dance with him. Although
this is immoral from the mundane viewpoint, the activities of the gopis
are accepted as the highest form of worship because it was Lord Krsna
whom they approached with lusty desires in the dead of night.
But these things cannot be understood by nondevotees. One must
understand Krsna in tattva (truth). One should use his common sense and
consider that if simply by chanting Krsna's holy name one is purified,
how then can the person Krsna be immoral? Unfortunately, mundane fools
are accepted as educational leaders and are offered exalted posts for
teaching irreligious principles to the general populace. This is
explained in Srimad-Bhagavatam (7.5.31): andha yathandhair upaniyamanah.
Blind men are trying to lead other blind men. Due to the immature
understanding of such rascals, common men should not discuss Krsna's
pastimes with the gopis. A nondevotee should not even discuss His
stealing sweet rice for His devotees. It is warned that one should not
even think about these things. Although Krsna is the purest of the pure,
mundane people, thinking of Krsna's pastimes that appear immoral,
themselves become polluted. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu therefore never
publicly discussed Krsna's dealings with the gopis. He used to discuss
these dealings only with three confidential friends. He never discussed
rasa-lila publicly, as the professional reciters do, although they do
not understand Krsna or the nature of the audience. However, Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu encouraged the public chanting of the holy name on a
huge scale for as many hours as possible.

ksira lana sukhe tumi karaha bhaksane
toma-sama bhagyavan nahi tribhuvane
SYNONYMS
ksira lana -- taking the pot of sweet rice; sukhe -- in happiness; tumi -
- you; karaha -- do; bhaksane -- eating; toma-sama -- like you;
bhagyavan -- fortunate; nahi -- there is no one; tri-bhuvane -- within
the three worlds.
TRANSLATION
The priest continued: "Would the sannyasi whose name is Madhavendra Puri
please come and take this pot of sweet rice and enjoy the prasada with
great happiness! You are the most fortunate person within these three
worlds!"
PURPORT
Here is an example of a personal benediction by Krsna's immoral activity.
By Gopinatha's stealing for His devotee, the devotee becomes the most
fortunate person within the three worlds. Thus even the Lord's criminal
activities make His devotee the most fortunate person. How can a mundane
rascal understand the pastimes of Krsna and judge whether He is moral or
immoral? Since Krsna is the Absolute Truth, there are no mundane
distinctions such as moral and immoral. Whatever He does is good. This
is the real meaning of "God is good." He is good in all circumstances
because He is transcendental, outside the jurisdiction of this material
world. Therefore, Krsna can be understood only by those who are already
living in the spiritual world. This is corroborated in Bhagavad-gita
:
mam ca yo 'vyabhicarena
bhakti-yogena sevate
sa gunan samatityaitan
brahma-bhuyaya kalpate
"One who engages in full devotional service, who does not fall
down in any circumstance, at once transcends the modes of material
nature and thus comes to the level of Brahman." (Bg.14.26)
One who is engaged in unalloyed devotional service to the Lord is
already situated in the spiritual world (brahma-bhuyaya kalpate). In all
circumstances, his activities and dealings with Krsna are transcendental
and thus not understandable by mundane moralists. It is therefore better
not to discuss such activities among mundane people. It is better to
give them the Hare Krsna maha-mantra so that they will be gradually
purified and then come to understand the transcendental activities of
Krsna.

eta suni' puri-gosani paricaya dila
ksira diya pujari tanre dandavat haila
SYNONYMS
eta suni' -- hearing this; puri-gosani -- Madhavendra Puri; paricaya --
introduction; dila -- gave; ksira diya -- delivering the pot of sweet
rice; pujari -- the priest; tanre -- to him; dandavat haila -- offered
obeisances.
TRANSLATION
Hearing this invitation, Madhavendra Puri came out and identified
himself. The priest then delivered the pot of sweet rice and offered his
obeisances, falling flat before him.
PURPORT
A brahmana is not supposed to offer his obeisances by falling flat
before anyone because a brahmana is considered to be in the highest
caste. However, when a brahmana sees a devotee, he offers his dandavats.
This brahmana priest did not ask Madhavendra Puri whether he was a
brahmana, but when he saw that Madhavendra Puri was such a bona fide
devotee that Krsna would even steal for him, he immediately understood
the position of the saint. As stated by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu: kiba
vipra, kiba nyasi, sudra kene naya yei krsna-tattva-vetta, sei 'guru'
haya. (Cc. Madhya 8.128) Had the brahmana priest been an ordinary
brahmana, Gopinatha would not have talked with him in a dream. Since the
Deity spoke to both Madhavendra Puri and the brahmana priest in dreams,
practically speaking they were on the same platform. However, because
Madhavendra Puri was a senior sannyasi Vaisnava, a paramahamsa, the
priest immediately fell flat before him and offered obeisances.

SYNONYMS
prema dekhi' -- seeing the ecstatic position of Madhavendra Puri; sevaka
-- the priest; kahe -- said; ha-iya -- being; vismita -- struck with
wonder; krsna -- Lord Krsna; ye -- that; inhara -- by him; vasa --
obliged; haya -- it is; yathocita -- befitting.
TRANSLATION
Upon seeing the ecstatic loving symptoms manifest in Madhavendra Puri,
the priest was struck with wonder. He could understand why Krsna had
become so much obliged to him, and he saw that Krsna's action was
befitting.
PURPORT
A devotee can bring Krsna perfectly under his control. This is explained
in Srimad-Bhagavatam: ajita-jito 'py asi tais tri-lokyam. (
Bhag. 10.14.3) Krsna is never conquered by anyone, but a devotee can
conquer Him through devotional service. As stated in Brahma-samhita (
5.33): vedesu durlabham adurlabham atma-bhaktau. One cannot understand
Krsna simply by reading Vedic literature. Although all Vedic literature
is meant for understanding Krsna, one cannot understand Krsna without
being a lover of Krsna. Therefore along with the reading of Vedic
literature (svadhyaya), one must engage in devotional worship of the
Deity (arcana-vidhi). Together these will enhance the devotee's
transcendental understanding of devotional service. Sravanadi suddha-
citte karaye udaya (Cc. Madhya 22.107). Love of Godhead is dormant
within everyone's heart, and if one simply follows the standard process
of devotional service, it is awakened. But foolish mundane people who
simply read about Krsna mistakenly think that He is immoral or criminal.

TRANSLATION
Being afraid of his reputation [pratistha], Madhavendra Puri fled from
Remuna. But the reputation brought by love of Godhead is so sublime that
it goes along with the devotee, as if following him.
PURPORT
Almost all the conditioned souls within the material world are envious.
Jealous people generally turn against one who automatically attains some
reputation. This is natural for jealous people. Consequently, when a
devotee is fit to receive worldly reputation, he is envied by many
people. This is quite natural. When a person, out of humility, does not
desire fame, people generally think him quite humble and consequently
give him all kinds of fame. Actually a Vaisnava does not hanker after
fame or a great reputation. Madhavendra Puri, the king of Vaisnavas,
bore his reputation, but he wanted to keep himself outside of the vision
of the general populace. He wanted to cover his real identity as a great
devotee of the Lord, but when people saw him overwhelmed in ecstasy
in love of Godhead, they naturally gave credit to him. Actually a first-
class reputation is due Madhavendra Puri because he was a most
confidential devotee of the Lord. Sometimes a sahajiya presents himself
as being void of desires for reputation (pratistha) in order to become
famous as a humble man. Such people cannot actually attain the platform
of celebrated Vaisnavas.

TRANSLATION
At the end of summer, Madhavendra Puri returned to Jagannatha Puri,
where he remained with great pleasure during the whole period of
Caturmasya.
PURPORT
The Caturmasya period begins in the month of Asadha (June-July) from the
day of Ekadasi called Sayana-ekadasi in the fortnight of the waxing
moon. The period ends in the month of Kartika (October-November) on the
Ekadasi day known as Utthana-ekadasi in the fortnight of the waxing
moon. This four-month period is known as Caturmasya. Some Vaisnavas also
observe it from the full-moon day of Asadha until the full-moon day of
Kartika. That is also a period of four months. This period, calculated
by the lunar months, is called Caturmasya, but others also observe
Caturmasya according to the solar month from Sravana to Kartika. The
whole period, either lunar or solar, takes place during the rainy season.
Caturmasya should be observed by all sections of the population. It
does not matter whether one is a grhastha or a sannyasi. The observance
is obligatory for all asramas. The real purpose behind the vow taken
during these four months is to minimize the quantity of sense
gratification. This is not very difficult. In the month of Sravana, one
should not eat spinach. In the month of Bhadra, one should not eat
yogurt, and in the month of Asvina, one should not drink milk. One
should not eat fish or other nonvegetarian food during the month of
Kartika. A nonvegetarian diet means fish and meat. Similarly, masura
dahl and urad dahl are also considered nonvegetarian. These two dahls
contain a great amount of protein, and food rich in protein is
considered nonvegetarian. On the whole, during the four-month period of
Caturmasya, one should practice giving up all food intended for sense
enjoyment.

are uncommon," Caitanya Mahaprabhu said. "Indeed, one is struck with
wonder to hear of his activities."
PURPORT
When the living entity feels spiritual separation from Krsna (krsna-
viraha), he has achieved the prime success of life. When one becomes
disinterested in material things, he is simply experiencing the other
side of attraction for material things. However, feeling separation from
Krsna and engaging in the service of the Lord to fulfill His mission
constitute the best example of love of Krsna. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
wanted to point out this intense love of Krsna exhibited by Madhavendra
Puri. All Caitanya Mahaprabhu's devotees later followed in the footsteps
of Madhavendra Puri, serving the Lord without personal considerations.

PURPORT
It is natural for those who have developed intense love for Krsna not to
care for personal inconvenience and impediments. Such devotees are
simply determined to execute the order of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead or His representative, the spiritual master. In all
circumstances, even amidst the greatest dangers, they undeviatingly
carry on with the greatest determination. This definitely proves the
intense love of the servitor. As stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam,
tat te 'nukampam susamiksyamanah: those who seriously
desire to get free from the clutches of material existence, who have
developed intense love for Krsna, are worthy candidates for going back
home, back to Godhead. An intense lover of Krsna does not care for any
number of material discomforts, scarcity, impediments or unhappiness. It
is said that when one sees apparent unhappiness or distress in a perfect
Vaisnava, it is not at all unhappiness for him; rather, it is
transcendental bliss. In the Siksastaka, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has
also instructed: aslisya va pada-ratam.
The intense lover of Krsna is never deviated from his service, despite
all difficulties and impediments brought before him.

"O My Lord! O most merciful master! O master of Mathura! When shall I
see You again? Because of My not seeing You, My agitated heart has
become unsteady. O most beloved one, what shall I do now?"
PURPORT
The uncontaminated devotees who strictly depend on the Vedanta
philosophy are divided into four sampradayas, or transcendental parties.
Out of the four sampradayas, the Sri Madhvacarya-sampradaya was accepted
by Madhavendra Puri. Thus he took sannyasa according to parampara, the
disciplic succession. Beginning from Madhvacarya down to the spiritual
master of Madhavendra Puri, the acarya named Laksmipati, there was no
realization of devotional service in conjugal love. Sri Madhavendra Puri
introduced the conception of conjugal love for the first time in the
Madhvacarya-sampradaya, and this conclusion of the Madhvacarya-
sampradaya was revealed by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu when He toured
southern India and met the Tattvavadis, who supposedly belonged to the
Madhvacarya-sampradaya.
When Sri Krsna left Vrndavana and accepted the kingdom of Mathura,
Srimati Radharani, out of ecstatic feelings of separation, expressed how
Krsna can be loved in separation. Thus devotional service in separation
is central to this verse. Worship in separation is considered by the
Gaudiya-Madhva-sampradaya to be the topmost level of devotional service.
According to this conception, the devotee thinks of himself as very poor
and neglected by the Lord. Thus he addresses the Lord as dina-dayardra
natha, as did Madhavendra Puri. Such an ecstatic feeling is the highest
form of devotional service. Because Krsna had gone to Mathura, Srimati
Radharani was very much affected, and She expressed Herself thus: "My
dear Lord, because of Your separation My mind has become overly agitated.
Now tell Me, what can I do? I am very poor, and You are very merciful,
so kindly have compassion upon Me and let Me know when I shall see You."
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was always expressing the ecstatic emotions of
Srimati Radharani that She exhibited when She saw Uddhava at Vrndavana.
Similar feelings, experienced by Madhavendra Puri, are expressed in this
verse. Therefore, Vaisnavas in the Gaudiya-Madhva-sampradaya say that
the ecstatic feelings experienced by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu during His
appearance came from Sri Madhavendra Puri through Isvara Puri. All the
devotees in the line of the Gaudiya-Madhva-sampradaya accept these
principles of devotional service.

Madhya 4: Sri Madhavendra Puri's Devotional Service
Chapter 4:
Sri Madhavendra Puri's Devotional Service
In his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya, Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura gives the
following summary of the Fourth Chapter. Passing along the path of
Chatrabhoga and coming to Vrddhamantresvara, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
reached the border of Orissa. On His way He enjoyed transcendental bliss
by chanting and begging alms in different villages. In this way He
reached the celebrated village of Remuna, where there is a Deity of
Gopinatha. There He narrated the story of Madhavendra Puri, as He had
heard it from His spiritual master, Isvara Puri. The narration is as
follows.
One night while in Govardhana, Madhavendra Puri dreamed that the Gopala
Deity was within the forest. The next morning he invited his
neighborhood friends to accompany him to excavate the Deity from the
jungle. He then established the Deity of Sri Gopalaji on top of
Govardhana Hill with great pomp. Gopala was worshiped, and the Annakuta
festival was observed. This festival was known everywhere, and many
people from the neighboring villages came to join. One night the Gopala
Deity again appeared to Madhavendra Puri in a dream and asked him to go
to Jagannatha Puri to collect some sandalwood pulp and smear it on the
body of the Deity. Having received this order, Madhavendra Puri
immediately started for Orissa. Traveling through Bengal, he reached
Remuna village and there received a pot of condensed milk (ksira)
offered to the Deity of Gopinathaji. This pot of condensed milk was
stolen by Gopinatha and delivered to Madhavendra Puri. Since then, the
Gopinatha Deity has been known as Ksira-cora-gopinatha, the Deity who
stole the pot of condensed milk. After reaching Jagannatha Puri,
Madhavendra Puri received permission from the King to take out one maund
of sandalwood and twenty tolas of camphor. Aided by two men, he brought
these things to Remuna. Again he saw in a dream that Gopala at
Govardhana Hill desired that very sandalwood to be turned into pulp
mixed with camphor and smeared over the body of Gopinathaji.
Understanding that that would satisfy the Gopala Deity at Govardhana,
Madhavendra Puri executed the order and returned to Jagannatha Puri.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu narrated this story for Lord Nityananda Prabhu
and other devotees and praised the pure devotional service of
Madhavendra Puri. When He recited some verses composed by Madhavendra
Puri, He went into an ecstatic mood. But when He saw that many people
were assembled, He checked Himself and ate some sweet rice prasadam.
Thus He passed that night, and the next morning He again started for
Jagannatha Puri.

PURPORT
Bhaktivinoda Thakura annotates that this Gopala Deity was originally
installed by Vajra, the great-grandson of Krsna. Madhavendra Puri
rediscovered Gopala and established Him on top of Govardhana Hill. This
Gopala Deity is now situated at Nathadvara and is under the management
of descendants of Vallabhacarya. The worship of the Deity is very
luxurious, and one who goes there can purchase varieties of prasadam by
paying a small price.

Although Sri Gopala ate everything offered, still, by the touch of His

PURPORT
The atheists cannot understand how the Supreme Personality of Godhead,
appearing in the form of the Deity, can eat all the food offered by His
devotees. In the Bhagavad-gita (9.26) Krsna says:
patram puspam phalam toyam yo me bhaktya prayacchati
tad aham bhakty-upahrtam asnami prayatatmanah
"If one offers Me with love and devotion a leaf, a flower, a fruit or
water, I will accept it." The Lord is purna, complete, and
therefore He eats everything offered by His devotees. However, by the
touch of His transcendental hand, all the food remains exactly as before.
It is the quality that is changed. Before the food was offered, it was
something else, but after it is offered the food acquires a
transcendental quality. Because the Lord is purna, He remains the same
even after eating. Purnasya purnam adaya purnam evavasisyate [Iso
Invocation]. The food offered to Krsna is qualitatively as good as Krsna;
just as Krsna is avyaya, indestructible, the food eaten by Krsna, being
identical with Him, remains as before.
Apart from this, Krsna can eat the food with any one of His
transcendental senses. He can eat by seeing the food or by touching it.
Nor should one think that it is necessary for Krsna to eat. He does not
become hungry like an ordinary human being; nonetheless, He presents
Himself as being hungry, and as such, He can eat everything and anything,
regardless of quantity. The philosophy underlying Krsna's eating is
understandable by our transcendental senses. When our senses are
purified by constantly being engaged in the devotional service of the
Lord, we can understand Krsna's activities, names, forms, qualities,
pastimes and entourage.
atah sri-krsna-namadi na bhaved grahyam indriyaih
sevonmukhe hi jihvadau svayam eva sphuraty adah
[Cc. Madhya 17.136]
"No one can understand Krsna by the blunt material senses. But He
reveals Himself to the devotees, being pleased with them for their
transcendental loving service unto Him." (Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu 1.2.
234) The devotees understand Krsna through revelation. It is not
possible for a mundane scholar to understand Krsna and His pastimes
through research work on the nondevotional platform.

TRANSLATION
The wonderful festival and installation of Sri Gopalaji was arranged in
one day. Certainly all this was accomplished by the potency of Gopala.
No one but a devotee can understand this.
PURPORT
The Krsna consciousness movement has spread all over the world within a
very short time (within five years), and mundane people are very much
astonished at this. However, by the grace of Lord Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu, we understand that everything is possible by the grace of
Krsna. Why does Krsna have to take five years? In five days He can
spread His name and fame all over the world like wildfire. Those who
have faith in and devotion to Krsna can understand that these things
happen so wonderfully by the grace of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. We are
simply the instruments. In the fierce Battle of Kuruksetra, Arjuna was
victorious within eighteen days simply because Krsna's grace was on his
side.
yatra yogesvarah krsno yatra partho dhanur-dharah
tatra srir vijayo bhutir dhruva nitir matir mama
"Wherever there is Krsna, the master of all mystics, and wherever there
is Arjuna, the supreme archer, there will also certainly be opulence,
victory, extraordinary power and morality. That is my opinion." (Bg. 18.
78)
If the preachers in our Krsna consciousness movement are sincere
devotees of Krsna, Krsna will always be with them because He is very
kind and favorable to all His devotees. Just as Arjuna and Krsna were
victorious in the Battle of Kuruksetra, this Krsna consciousness
movement will surely emerge victorious if we but remain sincere devotees
of the Lord and serve the Lord according to the advice of the
predecessors (the six Gosvamis and other devotees of the Lord). As
Narottama dasa Thakura has stated: tandera carana sevi bhakta-sane vasa,
janame janame haya ei abhilasa. The Krsna consciousness devotees must
always desire to remain in the society of devotees. Bhakta-sane vasa:
they cannot go outside the Krsna consciousness society or movement.
Within the society we must try to serve the predecessors by preaching
Caitanya Mahaprabhu's cult and spreading His name and fame all over the
world. If we attempt this seriously within the society, it will be
successfully done. There is no question of estimating how this will
happen in the mundane sense. But without a doubt, it happens by the
grace of Krsna.

Seeing the influence of Madhavendra Puri, all the people gathered there
were struck with wonder. They saw that the Annakuta ceremony, which had

again by the mercy of Sri Madhavendra Puri.
PURPORT
Formerly, at the end of Dvapara-yuga, all the cowherd men of Vrndavana
had arranged to worship King Indra, but they gave this worship up,
following the advice of Krsna. Instead, they performed a ceremony
whereby they worshiped the cows, brahmanas and Govardhana Hill. At that
time Krsna expanded Himself and declared, "I am Govardhana Hill." In
this way He accepted all the paraphernalia and food offered to
Govardhana Hill. It is stated in the Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.24.26, 3133):
pacyantam vividhah pakah supantah payasadayah
samyava-pupa-saskulyah sarva-dohas ca grhyatam
kalatmana bhagavata sakra-darpam jighamsata
proktam nisamya nandadyah sadhv agrhnanta tad-vacah

vacayitva svasty-ayanam tad-dravyena giri-dvijan

"Prepare very nice foods of all descriptions from the grains and
ghee collected for the yajna. Prepare rice, dhal, then halavah, pakora,
puri and all kinds of milk preparations like sweet rice, sweetballs,
sandesa, rasagulla and laddu.'
"The Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, therefore advised the
cowherd men to stop the Indra-yajna and begin the Govardhana-puja to
chastise Indra, who was very much puffed up at being the supreme
controller of the heavenly planets. The honest and simple cowherd men,
headed by Nanda Maharaja, accepted Krsna's proposal and executed in
detail everything He advised. They performed Govardhana worship and
circumambulation of the hill. According to the instruction of Lord Krsna,
Nanda Maharaja and the cowherd men called in learned brahmanas and
began to worship Govardhana Hill by chanting Vedic hymns and offering
prasadam. The inhabitants of Vrndavana assembled together, decorated
their cows and gave them grass. Keeping the cows in front, they began to
circumambulate Govardhana Hill."

sakala brahmane puri vaisnava karila

SYNONYMS
sakala brahmane -- all the brahmanas who were present there; puri --
Madhavendra Puri Gosvami; vaisnava karila -- elevated to the position of
Vaisnavas; sei sei -- under different divisions; seva-madhye -- in
rendering service; saba -- all of them; niyojila -- were engaged.
TRANSLATION
All the brahmanas present on that occasion were initiated by Madhavendra
Puri into the Vaisnava cult, and Madhavendra Puri engaged them in
different types of service.
PURPORT
In the scriptures it is stated, sat-karma-nipuno vipro mantra-tantra-
visaradah. A qualified
brahmana must be expert in the occupational duties of a brahmana
. His duties are mentioned as six brahminical
engagements. Pathana means that a brahmana must be conversant with the
Vedic scriptures. He must also be able to teach others to study the
Vedic literatures. This is pathana. He must also be expert in worshiping
different deities and in performing the Vedic rituals (yajana). On
account of this yajana, the brahmana, being the head of society,
performs all the Vedic rituals for ksatriyas, vaisyas and sudras. This
is called yajana, assisting others in performing ceremonies. The
remaining two items are dana and pratigraha. The brahmana accepts all
kinds of contributions (pratigraha) from his followers (namely, the
ksatriyas, vaisyas and sudras). But he does not keep all the money. He
keeps only as much as required and gives the balance to others in
charity (dana).
In order for such a qualified brahmana to worship the Deity, he must be
a Vaisnava. Thus the Vaisnava's position is superior to that of the
brahmana. This example given by Madhavendra Puri confirms that even
though a brahmana may be very expert, he cannot become a priest or
servitor of the visnu-murti unless he is initiated in vaisnava-mantra.
After installing the Deity of Gopala, Madhavendra Puri initiated all the
brahmanas into Vaisnavism. He then allotted the brahmanas different
types of service to the Deity. From four in the morning until ten at
night (from mangala-aratrika to sayana-aratrika), there must be at least
five or six brahmanas to take care of the Deity. Six aratrikas are
performed in the temple, and food is frequently offered to the Deity and
the prasadam distributed. This is the method of worshiping the Deity
according to the rules and regulations set by the predecessors. Our
sampradaya belongs to the disciplic succession of Madhavendra Puri, who
belonged to the Madhva-sampradaya. We are in the disciplic succession of
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who was initiated by Sri Isvara Puri, a
disciple of Madhavendra Puri's. Our sampradaya is therefore called the
Madhva-Gaudiya-sampradaya. As such, we must carefully follow in the
footsteps of Sri Madhavendra Puri and observe how he installed the
Gopala Deity on top of Govardhana Hill, how he arranged and performed
the Annakuta ceremony in only one day, and so forth. Our installation of
Deities in America and in the wealthy countries of Europe should be
carried out in terms of Sri Madhavendra Puri's activities. All the
servitors of the Deity must be strictly qualified as brahmanas and,
specifically, must engage in the Vaisnava custom of offering as much
prasadam as possible and distributing it to the devotees who visit the
temple to see the Lord.

TRANSLATION
The inhabitants of the village brought to the Deity of Gopala as much
food grains, ghee, yogurt and milk as they had in their village.
PURPORT
Anna, ghrta, dadhi and dugdha are food grains, ghee, yogurt and milk.
Actually these are the basis of all food. Vegetables and fruits are
subsidiary. Hundreds and thousands of preparations can be made out of
grains, vegetables, ghee, milk and yogurt. The food offered to Gopala in
the Annakuta ceremony contained only these five ingredients. Only
demoniac people are attracted to other types of food, which we will not
even mention in this connection. We should understand that in order to
prepare nutritious food, we require only grains, ghee, yogurt and milk.
We cannot offer anything else to the Deity. The Vaisnava, the perfect
human being, does not accept anything not offered to the Deity. People
are often frustrated with national food policies, but from the Vedic
scriptures we find that if there are sufficient cows and grains, the
entire food problem is solved. The vaisyas (people engaged in
agriculture and commerce) are therefore recommended in the Bhagavad-gita
to produce grains and give protection to cows. Cows are the most
important animal because they produce the miracle food, milk, from which
we can prepare ghee and yogurt.
The perfection of human civilization depends on Krsna consciousness,
which recommends Deity worship. Preparations made from vegetables,
grains, milk, ghee and yogurt are offered to the Deity and then
distributed. Here we can see the difference between the East and the
West. The people who came to see the Deity of Gopala brought all kinds
of food to offer the Deity. They brought all the food they had in stock,
and they came before the Deity not only to accept prasadam for
themselves but to distribute it to others. The Krsna consciousness
movement vigorously approves this practice of preparing food, offering
it to the Deity and distributing it to the general population. This
activity should be extended universally to stop sinful eating habits as
well as other behavior befitting only demons. A demoniac civilization
will never bring peace within the world. Since eating is the first
necessity in human society, those engaged in solving the problems of
preparing and distributing food should take lessons from Madhavendra
Puri and execute the Annakuta ceremony. When the people take to eating
only prasadam offered to the Deity, all the demons will be turned into
Vaisnavas. When the people are Krsna conscious, naturally the government
will be so also. A Krsna conscious man is always a very liberal well-
wisher of everyone. When such men head the government, the people will
certainly be sinless. They will no longer be disturbing demons. It is
then and then only that a peaceful condition can prevail in society.

TRANSLATION
The ideal place to execute Krsna consciousness is Vrajabhumi, or
Vrndavana, where the people are naturally inclined to love Krsna and
Krsna is naturally inclined to love them.
PURPORT
In the Bhagavad-gita (4.11) it is said, ye yatha mam prapadyante tams
tathaiva bhajamy aham. There is a responsive cooperation between the
Supreme Lord Krsna and His devotees. The more a devotee sincerely loves
Krsna, the more Krsna reciprocates, so much so that a highly advanced
devotee can talk with Krsna face to face. Krsna confirms this in the
Bhagavad-gita (10.10):
tesam satata-yuktanam bhajatam priti-purvakam
dadami buddhi-yogam tam yena mam upayanti te
"To those who are constantly devoted to serving Me with love, I give
the understanding by which they can come to Me." The actual
mission of human life is to understand Krsna and return home, back to
Godhead. Therefore one who is sincerely engaged in the service of the
Lord with love and faith can talk with Krsna and receive instructions by
which he can speedily return home, back to Godhead. Today many scholars
defend the science of religion, and they have some conception of the
Supreme Personality of Godhead, but religion without practical
experience of the Supreme Personality of Godhead is no religion at all.
Srimad-Bhagavatam describes this as a form of cheating. Religion means
abiding by the orders of Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead. If
one is not qualified to talk with Him and take lessons from Him, how can
one understand the principles of religion? Thus talks of religion or
religious experience without Krsna consciousness are a useless waste of
time.

TRANSLATION
Each and every family residing in the land of Vrajabhumi contributed one
cow. In this way, thousands of cows became the property of Gopala.
PURPORT
This is the way to install the Deity, construct the temple and increase
the property of the temple. Everyone should be enthusiastic to
contribute to the construction of the temple for the Deity, and everyone
should also contribute food for the distribution of prasadam. The
devotees should preach the gospel of devotional service and thus engage
people in practical service to the Deity. Wealthy people can also be
attracted to take part in these activities. In this way everyone will
become spiritually inclined, and the entire society will be converted to
Krsna consciousness. The desire to satisfy the material senses will
automatically diminish, and the senses will become so purified that they
will be able to engage in bhakti (devotional service to the Lord).
Hrsikena hrsikesa-sevanam bhaktir ucyate [Cc. Madhya 19.170]. By serving
the Lord, one's senses are gradually purified. The engagement of one's
purified senses in the service of Lord Hrsikesa is called bhakti. When
the dormant propensity for bhakti is awakened, one can understand the
Supreme Personality of Godhead as He is. Bhaktya mam abhijanati yavan
yas casmi tattvatah. (Bg. 18.55) This is the process of giving humanity
the chance to awaken Krsna consciousness. Thus people can perfect their
lives in all respects.

TRANSLATION
These two were then initiated by Madhavendra Puri, and he entrusted them
with the daily service of the Lord. This service was performed
continuously, and the worship of the Deity became very gorgeous. Thus
Madhavendra Puri was very pleased.
PURPORT
The six Gosvamis and their followers started many temples, including the
temples of Govinda, Gopinatha, Madana-mohana, Radha-Damodara,
Syamasundara, Radha-ramana and Gokulananda. The disciples of the
Gosvamis were entrusted with the seva-puja (Deity worship) of these
temples. It was not that the disciples were family members of the
original Gosvamis. All the Gosvamis were in the renounced order of
life, and Jiva Gosvami in particular was a lifelong brahmacari. At
present, sevaitas assume the title of gosvami on the basis of their
being engaged as sevaitas of the Deity. The sevaitas who have inherited
their positions now assume proprietorship of the temples, and some of
them are selling the Deities' property as if it were their own. However,
the temples did not originally belong to these sevaitas.

TRANSLATION
In his dream, Madhavendra Puri saw Gopala, who said, "My bodily
temperature still has not decreased. Please bring sandalwood from the
Malaya province and smear the pulp over My body to cool Me.
PURPORT
The Deity of Gopala had been buried within the jungle for many years,
and although He was installed and was offered thousands of pots of water,
He still felt very hot. He therefore asked Madhavendra Puri to bring
sandalwood from the Malaya province. Sandalwood produced in Malaya is
very popular. That province is situated on the western ghata, and the
hill Nilagiri is sometimes known as Malaya Hill. The word malaya-ja is
used to indicate the sandalwood produced in Malaya Province.
Sometimes the word Malaya refers to the modern country of Malaysia.
Formerly this country also produced sandalwood, but now they have found
it profitable to produce rubber trees. Although the Vedic culture was
once prevalent in Malaysia, now all the inhabitants are Muslims. The
Vedic culture is now lost in Malaysia, Java and Indonesia.

TRANSLATION
Advaita Acarya begged to be initiated by Madhavendra Puri. After
initiating Him, Madhavendra Puri started for South India.
PURPORT
In this connection, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura comments
that Advaita Acarya took initiation from Madhavendra Puri, who was a
sannyasi in the disciplic succession of the Madhva-sampradaya. According
to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu:
kiba vipra kiba nyasi sudra kene naya,
yei krsna-tattva-vetta, sei guru' haya
"A person may be a brahmana, a sannyasi, a sudra or whatever, but if he
is well conversant in the science of Krsna, he can become a guru." (Cc.
Madhya 8.128) This statement is supported by Sri Madhavendra Puri.
According to the pancaratra injunction, only a householder brahmana can
initiate. Others cannot. When a person is initiated, it is assumed that
he has become a brahmana; without being initiated by a proper brahmana,
one cannot be converted into a brahmana. In other words, unless one is a
brahmana, he cannot make another a brahmana. A grhastha-brahmana
partaking of the varnasrama-dharma institution can secure various types
of paraphernalia to worship Lord Visnu through his honest labor.
Actually, people beg to be initiated by these householder brahmanas just
to become successful in the varnasrama institution or to become free
from material desires. It is therefore necessary for a spiritual master
in the grhastha-asrama to be a strict Vaisnava. A spiritual master from
the sannyasa order has very little opportunity to perform arcana, Deity
worship, but when one accepts a spiritual master from the transcendental
sannyasis, the principle of Deity worship is not at all neglected. To
implement this conclusion, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu gave us His opinion
in the verse kiba vipra kiba nyasi, etc. This indicates that the Lord
understood the weakness of society in its maintaining that only a
grhastha-brahmana should be a spiritual master. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
indicated that it does not matter whether the spiritual master is a
grhastha (householder), a sannyasi or even a sudra. A spiritual master
simply must be conversant in the essence of the sastra; he must
understand the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Only then can one become
a spiritual master. Diksa actually means initiating a disciple with
transcendental knowledge by which he becomes freed from all material
contamination.

virakta -- unattached; udasa -- indifferent; ayacita -- without begging;
paile -- if getting; kha'na -- he eats; nahe -- if not; upavasa --

TRANSLATION
Madhavendra Puri avoided begging. He was completely unattached and
indifferent to material things. If, without his begging, someone
offered him some food, he would eat; otherwise he would fast.
PURPORT
This is the paramahamsa stage, the highest stage for a sannyasi. A
sannyasi can beg from door to door just to collect food, but a
paramahamsa who has taken ayacita-vrtti, or ajagara-vrtti, does not ask
anyone for food. If someone offers him food voluntarily, he eats.
Ayacita-vrtti means being accustomed to refrain from begging, and
ajagara-vrtti indicates one who is compared to a python, the big snake
that makes no effort to acquire food but rather allows food to come
automatically within its mouth. In other words, a paramahamsa simply
engages exclusively in the service of the Lord without caring even for
eating or sleeping. It was stated about the six Gosvamis: nidrahara-
viharakadi-vijitau

who were engaged in chanting the holy names of the Lord and bowing down
in a scheduled measurement. In this way they utilized their valuable
lives and in executing these devotional activities they conquered over
eating and sleeping and were always meek and humble enchanted by
remembering the transcendental qualities of the Lord.
**. In the paramahamsa stage one conquers the desire for sleep, food and
sense gratification. One remains a humble, meek mendicant engaged in the
service of the Lord day and night. Madhavendra Puri had attained this
paramahamsa stage.

TRANSLATION
A paramahamsa like Madhavendra Puri is always satisfied in the loving
service of the Lord. Material hunger and thirst cannot impede his
activities. When he desired to taste a little sweet rice offered to the
Deity, he considered that he had committed an offense by desiring to eat
what was being offered to the Deity.
PURPORT
It is advisable that food being offered to the Deity be covered when
taken from the kitchen to the Deity room. In that way, others may not
see it. Those who are not accustomed to following the advanced
regulative devotional principles may desire to eat the food, and that is
an offense. Therefore no one should be given a chance to even see it.
However, when it is brought before the Deity, it must be uncovered.
Seeing the food uncovered before the Deity, Madhavendra Puri desired to
taste a little of it so that he could prepare a similar sweet rice for
his Gopala. Madhavendra Puri was so strict, however, that he considered
this to be an offense. Consequently he left the temple without saying
anything to anyone. The paramahamsa is therefore called vijita-sad-guna.
He must conquer the six material qualities -- kama, krodha, lobha, moha,
matsarya and ksudha-trsna (lust, anger, greed, illusion, enviousness
and hunger and thirst).

-- sitting down; karena -- performs; kirtana -- chanting; etha -- in

TRANSLATION
Madhavendra Puri left the temple and sat down in the village marketplace,
which was vacant. Sitting there, he began to chant. In the meantime,
the temple priest laid the Deity down to rest.
PURPORT
Although Madhavendra Puri was not interested in eating and sleeping, his
interest in chanting the maha-mantra was as acute as if he were an
aspiring transcendentalist rather than a paramahamsa. This means that
even in the paramahamsa stage, one cannot give up chanting. Haridasa
Thakura and the Gosvamis were all engaged in chanting a fixed number of
rounds; therefore chanting on beads is very important for everyone, even
though one may become a paramahamsa. This chanting can be executed
anywhere, either inside or outside the temple. Madhavendra Puri even sat
down in a vacant marketplace to perform his chanting. As stated by
Srinivasa Acarya in his prayers to the Gosvamis: nama-gana-natibhih. A
paramahamsa devotee is always engaged in chanting and rendering loving
service to the Lord. Chanting the Lord's holy names and engaging in His
service are identical. As stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam (7.5.23), there
are nine kinds of devotional service: hearing (sravanam), chanting (
kirtanam), remembering (visnoh smaranam), serving (pada-sevanam),
worship of the Deity (arcanam), praying (vandanam), carrying out orders (
dasyam), serving Him as a friend (sakhyam) and sacrificing everything
for the Lord (atma-nivedanam). Although each process appears distinct,
when one is situated on the absolute platform he can see that they are
identical. For instance, hearing is as good as chanting, and remembering
is as good as chanting or hearing. Similarly, engaging in Deity worship
is as good as chanting, hearing or remembering. The devotee is expected
to accept all nine processes of devotional service, but even if only one
process is properly executed, he can still attain the highest position (
paramahamsa) and go back home, back to Godhead.

ksira laha ei, yara nama madhava-puri'
toma lagi' gopinatha ksira kaila curi
SYNONYMS
ksira laha -- take the pot of sweet rice; ei -- this; yara -- whose;
nama -- name; madhava-puri -- Madhavendra Puri; toma lagi' -- for you
only; gopinatha -- the Deity of Lord Gopinatha; ksira -- the pot of
sweet rice; kaila -- did; curi -- steal.
TRANSLATION
Holding the pot of sweet rice, the priest called, "Will he whose name is
Madhavendra Puri please come and take this pot! Gopinatha has stolen
this pot of sweet rice for you!"
PURPORT
The difference between the Absolute Truth and relative truth is
explained here. Lord Gopinatha has openly declared herein that He is a
thief. He had stolen the pot of sweet rice, and this was not kept a
secret because His act of stealing is a source of great transcendental
bliss. In the material world, theft is criminal, but in the spiritual
world the Lord's stealing is a source of transcendental bliss. Mundane
rascals, who cannot understand the absolute nature of the Personality of
Godhead, sometimes call Lord Sri Krsna immoral, but they do not know
that His seemingly immoral activities, which are not kept secret, afford
pleasure to the devotees. Not understanding the transcendental behavior
of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, these rascals slur His character
and immediately fall into the category of miscreants (rascals, lowest
among men, demons and those whose knowledge is taken away by the
illusory energy). Krsna explains in the Bhagavad-gita:
na mam duskrtino mudhah prapadyante naradhamah
mayayapahrta-jnana asuram bhavam asritah
"Those miscreants who are grossly foolish, who are lowest among mankind,
whose knowledge is stolen by illusion, and who partake of the atheistic
nature of demons do not surrender unto Me." (Bg. 7.15)
Mundane rascals cannot understand that whatever Krsna does, being
absolute in nature, is all-good. This quality of the Lord is explained
in Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.33.29). One may consider certain acts of
a supremely powerful person to be immoral by mundane calculations, but
this is not actually the case. For example, the sun absorbs water from
the surface of the earth, but it does not absorb water only from the sea.
It also absorbs water from filthy sewers and ditches containing urine
and other impure substances. The sun is not polluted by absorbing such
water. Rather, the sun makes the filthy place pure. If a devotee
approaches the Supreme Personality of Godhead for an immoral or improper
purpose, he nonetheless becomes purified; the Lord does not become
infected. In Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.29.15) it is stated that if one
approaches the Supreme Lord even out of lust, anger or fear (kamam
krodham bhayam), he is purified. The gopis, being young
girls, approached Krsna because He was a beautiful young boy. From the
external point of view, they approached the Lord out of lust, and the
Lord danced with them at midnight. From the mundane point of view, these
activities may appear immoral because a married or unmarried young girl
cannot leave home to mix with a young boy and dance with him. Although
this is immoral from the mundane viewpoint, the activities of the gopis
are accepted as the highest form of worship because it was Lord Krsna
whom they approached with lusty desires in the dead of night.
But these things cannot be understood by nondevotees. One must
understand Krsna in tattva (truth). One should use his common sense and
consider that if simply by chanting Krsna's holy name one is purified,
how then can the person Krsna be immoral? Unfortunately, mundane fools
are accepted as educational leaders and are offered exalted posts for
teaching irreligious principles to the general populace. This is
explained in Srimad-Bhagavatam (7.5.31): andha yathandhair upaniyamanah.
Blind men are trying to lead other blind men. Due to the immature
understanding of such rascals, common men should not discuss Krsna's
pastimes with the gopis. A nondevotee should not even discuss His
stealing sweet rice for His devotees. It is warned that one should not
even think about these things. Although Krsna is the purest of the pure,
mundane people, thinking of Krsna's pastimes that appear immoral,
themselves become polluted. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu therefore never
publicly discussed Krsna's dealings with the gopis. He used to discuss
these dealings only with three confidential friends. He never discussed
rasa-lila publicly, as the professional reciters do, although they do
not understand Krsna or the nature of the audience. However, Sri
Caitanya Mahaprabhu encouraged the public chanting of the holy name on a
huge scale for as many hours as possible.

ksira lana sukhe tumi karaha bhaksane
toma-sama bhagyavan nahi tribhuvane
SYNONYMS
ksira lana -- taking the pot of sweet rice; sukhe -- in happiness; tumi -
- you; karaha -- do; bhaksane -- eating; toma-sama -- like you;
bhagyavan -- fortunate; nahi -- there is no one; tri-bhuvane -- within
the three worlds.
TRANSLATION
The priest continued, "Would the sannyasi whose name is Madhavendra Puri
please come and take this pot of sweet rice and enjoy the prasadam with
great happiness! You are the most fortunate person within these three
worlds!"
PURPORT
Here is an example of a personal benediction by Krsna's immoral activity.
By Gopinatha's stealing for His devotee, the devotee becomes the most
fortunate person within the three words. Thus even the Lord's criminal
activities make His devotee the most fortunate person. How can a mundane
rascal understand the pastimes of Krsna and judge whether He is moral or
immoral? Since Krsna is the Absolute Truth, there are no mundane
distinctions such as moral and immoral. Whatever He does is good. This
is the real meaning of "God is good." He is good in all circumstances
because He is transcendental, outside the jurisdiction of this material
world. Therefore, Krsna can be understood only by those who are already
living in the spiritual world. This is corroborated in the Bhagavad-gita
(14.26):
mam ca yo 'vyabhicarena bhakti-yogena sevate
sa gunan samatityaitan brahma-bhuyaya kalpate
"One who engages in full devotional service, unfailing
in all circumstances, at once transcends the modes of material
nature and thus comes to the level of Brahman."
One who is engaged in unalloyed devotional service to the Lord is
already situated in the spiritual world (brahma-bhuyaya kalpate). In all
circumstances, his activities and dealings with Krsna are transcendental
and thus not understandable by mundane moralists. It is therefore better
not to discuss such activities among mundane people. It is better to
give them the Hare Krsna maha-mantra so that they will be gradually
purified and then come to understand the transcendental activities of
Krsna.

eta suni' puri-gosani paricaya dila

SYNONYMS
eta suni' -- hearing this; puri-gosani -- Madhavendra Puri; paricaya --
introduction; dila -- gave; ksira diya -- delivering the pot of sweet
rice; pujari -- the priest; tanre -- to him; dandavat haila -- offered
obeisances.
TRANSLATION
Hearing this invitation, Madhavendra Puri came out and identified
himself. The priest then delivered the pot of sweet rice and offered his
obeisances, falling flat before him.
PURPORT
A brahmana is not supposed to offer his obeisances by falling flat
before anyone because a brahmana is considered to be in the highest
caste. However, when a brahmana sees a devotee, he offers his dandavats.
This brahmana priest did not ask Madhavendra Puri whether he was a
brahmana, but when he saw that Madhavendra Puri was such a bona fide
devotee that Krsna would even steal for him, he immediately understood
the position of the saint. As stated by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu: kiba
vipra, kiba nyasi, sudra kene naya/ yei krsna-tattva-vetta, sei guru'
haya. (Cc. Madhya 8.128) Had the brahmana priest been an ordinary
brahmana, Gopinatha would not have talked with him in a dream. Since the
Deity spoke to both Madhavendra Puri and the brahmana priest in dreams,
practically speaking they were on the same platform. However, because
Madhavendra Puri was a senior sannyasi Vaisnava, a paramahamsa, the
priest immediately fell flat before him and offered obeisances.

wonder; krsna -- Lord Krsna; ye -- that; inhara -- by him; vasa --

TRANSLATION
Upon seeing the ecstatic loving symptoms manifest in Madhavendra Puri,
the priest was struck with wonder. He could understand why Krsna had
become so much obliged to him, and he saw that Krsna's action was
befitting.
PURPORT
A devotee can bring Krsna perfectly under his control. This is explained
in Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.14.3): ajita jito 'py asi tais tri-lokyam.
Krsna is never conquered by anyone, but a devotee can
conquer Him through devotional service. As stated in the Brahma-samhita (
5.33): vedesu durlabham adurlabham atma-bhaktau. One cannot understand
Krsna simply by reading Vedic literature. Although all Vedic literature
is meant for understanding Krsna, one cannot understand Krsna without
being a lover of Krsna. Therefore along with the reading of Vedic
literature (svadhyaya), one must engage in devotional worship of the
Deity (arcana-vidhi). Together these will enhance the devotee's
transcendental understanding of devotional service. Sravanadi suddha-
citte karaye udaya (Cc. Madhya 22.107). Love of Godhead is dormant
within everyone's heart, and if one simply follows the standard process
of devotional service, it is awakened. But foolish mundane people who
simply read about Krsna mistakenly think that He is immoral or criminal.

pratistha -- reputation; cale -- goes; sange -- simultaneously; gadana --
gliding down.
TRANSLATION
Being afraid of his reputation [pratistha], Madhavendra Puri fled from
Remuna. But the reputation brought by love of Godhead is so sublime that
it goes along with the devotee, as if following him.
PURPORT
Almost all the conditioned souls within the material world are envious.
Jealous people generally turn against one who automatically attains some
reputation. This is natural for jealous people. Consequently, when a
devotee is fit to receive worldly reputation, he is envied by many
people. This is quite natural. When a person, out of humility, does not
desire fame, people generally think him quite humble and consequently
give him all kinds of fame. Actually a Vaisnava does not hanker after
fame or a great reputation. Madhavendra Puri, the king of Vaisnavas,
bore his reputation, but he wanted to keep himself outside of the vision
of the general populace. He wanted to cover his real identity as a great
devotee of the Lord, but when people saw him overwhelmed in the ecstasy
of love of Godhead, they naturally gave credit to him. Actually a first-
class reputation is due Madhavendra Puri because he was a most
confidential devotee of the Lord. Sometimes a sahajiya presents himself
as being void of desires for reputation (pratistha) in order to become
famous as a humble man. Such people cannot actually attain the platform
of celebrated Vaisnavas.

TRANSLATION
At the end of summer Madhavendra Puri returned to Jagannatha Puri,
where he remained with great pleasure during the whole period of
Caturmasya.
PURPORT
The Caturmasya period begins in the month of Asadha (June-July) from the
day of Ekadasi called Sayana-ekadasi, in the fortnight of the waxing
moon. The period ends in the month of Kartika (October-November) on the
Ekadasi day known as Utthana-ekadasi, in the fortnight of the waxing
moon. This four-month period is known as Caturmasya. Some Vaisnavas also
observe it from the full-moon day of Asadha until the full-moon day of
Kartika. That is also a period of four months. This period, calculated
by the lunar months, is called Caturmasya, but others also observe
Caturmasya according to the solar month from Sravana to Kartika. The
whole period, either lunar or solar, takes place during the rainy season.
Caturmasya should be observed by all sections of the population. It
does not matter whether one is a grhastha or a sannyasi. The observance
is obligatory for all asramas. The real purpose behind the vow taken
during these four months is to minimize the quantity of sense
gratification. This is not very difficult. In the month of Sravana one
should not eat spinach, in the month of Bhadra one should not eat
yogurt, and in the month of Asvina one should not drink milk. One
should not eat fish or other nonvegetarian food during the month of
Kartika. A nonvegetarian diet means fish and meat. Similarly, masura
dhal and urad dhal are also considered nonvegetarian. These two dhals
contain a great amount of protein, and food rich in protein is
considered nonvegetarian. On the whole, during the four-month period of
Caturmasya one should practice giving up all food intended for sense
enjoyment.

are uncommon," Caitanya Mahaprabhu said. "Indeed, one is struck with
wonder to hear of his activities."
PURPORT
When the living entity feels spiritual separation from Krsna (krsna-
viraha), he has achieved the prime success of life. When one becomes
disinterested in material things, he is simply experiencing the other
side of attraction for material things. However, feeling separation from
Krsna and engaging in the service of the Lord to fulfill His mission
constitute the best example of love of Krsna. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
wanted to point out this intense love of Krsna exhibited by Madhavendra
Puri. All Caitanya Mahaprabhu's devotees later followed in the footsteps
of Madhavendra Puri, serving the Lord without personal considerations.

"This is the natural result of intense love of Godhead. The devotee does

PURPORT
It is natural for those who have developed intense love for Krsna not to
care for personal inconvenience and impediments. Such devotees are
simply determined to execute the order of the Supreme Personality of
Godhead or His representative, the spiritual master. In all
circumstances, even amidst the greatest dangers, they undeviatingly
carry on with the greatest determination. This definitely proves the
intense love of the servitor. As stated in Srimad-Bhagavatam (10.14.8),
tat te 'nukampam su-samiksamanah: those who seriously
desire to get free from the clutches of material existence, who have
developed intense love for Krsna, are worthy candidates for going back
home, back to Godhead. An intense lover of Krsna does not care for any
number of material discomforts, scarcity, impediments or unhappiness. It
is said that when one sees apparent unhappiness or distress in a perfect
Vaisnava, it is not at all unhappiness for him; rather, it is
transcendental bliss. In the Siksastaka (8), Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has
also instructed, aslisya va pada-ratam pinastu mam [Cc. Antya 20.47].
The intense lover of Krsna is never deviated from his service, despite
all difficulties and impediments brought before him.

"O My Lord! O most merciful master! O master of Mathura! When shall I

PURPORT
The uncontaminated devotees who strictly depend on the Vedanta
philosophy are divided into four sampradayas, or transcendental parties.
Out of the four sampradayas, the Sri Madhvacarya-sampradaya was accepted
by Madhavendra Puri. Thus he took sannyasa according to parampara, the
disciplic succession. Beginning from Madhvacarya down to the spiritual
master of Madhavendra Puri, the acarya named Laksmipati, there was no
realization of devotional service in conjugal love. Sri Madhavendra Puri
introduced the conception of conjugal love for the first time in the
Madhvacarya-sampradaya, and this conclusion of the Madhvacarya-
sampradaya was revealed by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu when He toured
southern India and met the Tattvavadis, who supposedly belonged to the
Madhvacarya-sampradaya.
When Sri Krsna left Vrndavana and accepted the kingdom of Mathura,
Srimati Radharani, out of ecstatic feelings of separation, expressed how
Krsna can be loved in separation. Thus devotional service in separation
is central to this verse. Worship in separation is considered by the
Gaudiya-Madhva-sampradaya to be the topmost level of devotional service.
According to this conception, the devotee thinks of himself as very poor
and neglected by the Lord. Thus he addresses the Lord as dina-dayardra
natha, as did Madhavendra Puri. Such an ecstatic feeling is the highest
form of devotional service. Because Krsna had gone to Mathura, Srimati
Radharani was very much affected, and She expressed Herself thus: "My
dear Lord, because of Your separation My mind has become overly agitated.
Now tell Me, what can I do? I am very poor and You are very merciful,
so kindly have compassion upon Me and let Me know when I shall see You."
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was always expressing the ecstatic emotions of
Srimati Radharani that She exhibited when She saw Uddhava at Vrndavana.
Similar feelings, experienced by Madhavendra Puri, are expressed in this
verse. Therefore, Vaisnavas in the Gaudiya-Madhva-sampradaya say that
the ecstatic feelings experienced by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu during His
appearance came from Sri Madhavendra Puri through Isvara Puri. All the
devotees in the line of the Gaudiya-Madhva-sampradaya accept these
principles of devotional service.

luster, disappointment, moroseness, loss of memory, pride, joy and
humility were all visible in Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's body.
PURPORT
In the Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu, jadya is explained as loss of memory
brought about by severe shock due to separation from the beloved. In
that state of mind, one loses all concern for loss and gain, hearing and
seeing, as well as all other considerations. This marks the preliminary
appearance of illusion.
