Gaurasundara 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2007 In the most holy Sri Laghu-bhagavatamrita of Srimat Rupa Gosvamipada, some delightful verses inform us thus: "Because He enjoys humanlike pastimes as Lord Krsna does, the form of Lord Ramacandra is most dear to Lord Krsna. "The words of Lord Krsna in Brahmanda Purana: 'Matsya, Kurma, and many others are My personal forms. Still, Ramacandra, the son of Dasaratha, is most dear to My heart.'"

Gaurasundara 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2007 Can any Vaishnava hold himself when contemplating the explosive joy and gladness of the first meeting of Gauracandra and Nityananda?? When Gauracandra stood directly in front of Nityananda, the latter recognised Him as the lord of His life. Gauracandra indicated to Srivasa to recite a verse from Bhagavatam (barhApIDaM..), upon which Nityananda lost consciousness in ecstasy and fell to the ground after hearing it. After awaking, He roared in anand and danced up for joy, sighed deeply while gazing upon the beautiful face of Gauracandra and laughed loudly, clapping his hands and displaying all the ecstatic symptoms. The sight was frightening to some of the assembled Vaishnavas, who feared that Nityananda may hurt himself in the extremes of ecstasy. dharite nArilA yadi vaiSNava-sakale vizvambhara lailena ApanAra kole When all the Vaishnavas failed to hold Him still, Vishvambhara personally took Him on His lap. vizvambhara-kole mAtra gelA nityAnanda samarpiyA prANa tAne hailA niSpanda As soon as Nityananda was taken on Vishvambhara's lap, He surrendered His life to Him and became motionless. (CB 2.4.20-21) bhAse nityAnanda caitanyera prema-jale zakti-hata lakSmaNa ye-heNa rAma-kole prema-bhakti-bANe mUrchA gela nityAnanda nityAnanda kole kari' kaGde gauracandra Nityananda floated on the waters of Caitanya's love, just as Laksmana remained in the lap of Rama after being hit by the shakti-shela arrow. Nityananda lost consciousness due to being hit by the arrow of prema-bhakti. Holding Nityananda on His lap, Gauracandra began to weep. ki Ananda-viraha haila dui jane pUrve yena zuniyAchi zrI-rAma-lakSmaNe The bliss of separation relished between the Two was alike to that relished by Sri Rama and Laksmana previously. gauracandra nityAnande snehera ye sImA zrI-rAma-lakSmaNa vahi nAhika upamA There is no limit to the affection between Gauracandra and Nityananda other than that which is found between Rama and Laksmana.
