Sonic Yogi Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 "The fragrance of Krsna's body is more maddening than the aroma of musk, and it surpasses the fragrance of the bluish lotus flower. It enters the nostrils of all the women of the world and, making a nest there, thus attracts them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic Yogi Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 "Kṛṣṇa's lips are so sweet when combined with the camphor of His gentle smile that they attract the minds of all women, forcing them to give up all other attractions. If the sweetness of Kṛṣṇa's smile is unobtainable, great mental difficulties and lamentation result. That sweetness is the only wealth of the gopīs of Vṛndāvana."

Sonic Yogi Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 After speaking in this way, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu caught hold of the necks of Rāmānanda Rāya and Svarūpa Dāmodara. Then the Lord said, "My dear friends, please listen to Me. What shall I do? Where shall I go? Where can I go to get Kṛṣṇa? Please, both of you, tell Me how I can find Him."

Sonic Yogi Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Thus absorbed in transcendental pain, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu lamented day after day in the company of Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī and Rāmānanda Rāya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Yogi Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 To enhance the ecstatic mood of the Lord, Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī would sing appropriate songs and Rāmānanda Rāya would recite suitable verses. In this way they were able to pacify Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Yogi Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 The Lord especially liked to hear Bilvamańgala Ṭhākura's Kṛṣṇa-karṇāmṛta, the poetry of Vidyāpati, and Śrī Gīta-govinda, by Jayadeva Gosvāmī. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu felt great pleasure in His heart when His associates chanted verses and sang songs from these books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonic Yogi Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 One day, while going to the beach by the sea, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu suddenly saw a flower garden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonic Yogi Posted April 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Lord Caitanya mistook that garden for Vṛndāvana and very quickly entered it. Absorbed in ecstatic love of Kṛṣṇa, He wandered throughout the garden, searching for Him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
