Gaite Gaite Hari Asilen Seshe

Basilen Vrindavane Amari To Veshe

By singing the name of Hari, the Lord came atlast. Lord came and sat in Vrindavan in my form

Purport:

Lord Chitannya Mohaprabhu who is incarnation of Lord Hari, came atlast to Vrindavan by singing His own name. Lord came and sat for a while in His own original form of Krsna in Vrindavan but no one could see Him in that form. So it is very difficult to understand Krsna. Only by mercy of Krsna one can see Him in His original form. Only way to see Lord is by chanting holy name of Krsna. In this golden era Lord Chitannya Mohaprbhu is only supreme. If one get mercy of Lord Chitannya Mohaprabhu, he will automatically get mercy of Lord Krsna and Radharani. So that's why this sankirtan movement is for. All glory to lotus feet of Lord Chaitannya Mohaprabhu and all His associates including Prabhupada
