flute in the pasturing grounds. He brought Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī to a bower by signaling with His flute. Then He entered that bower to perform pastimes with Her. I entered the bower just behind Kṛṣṇa, My ears captivated by the sound of His ornaments. I saw Kṛṣṇa and the gopīs enjoying all kinds of pastimes while laughing and joking together. Hearing their vocal expressions enhanced the joy of My ears. Just then, all of you made a tumultuous sound and brought Me back here by force.

Kṛṣṇa and the gopīs, nor could I hear the sounds of their ornaments or the flute.’”*

and flowers. The gopīs and maidservants in the bowers of Vṛndāvana pick these fruits and flowers and bring them before Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa. The gopīs peeled all the fruits and placed them together on large plates on a platform in the jeweled cottage. They arranged the fruit in orderly rows for eating, and in front of it they made a place to sit. Among the fruits were many varieties of coconut and mango, bananas, berries, jackfruits, dates, tangerines, oranges, blackberries, santarās, grapes, almonds and all kinds of dried fruit. There were cantaloupes, kṣirikās, palm fruits, keśuras, water fruits, lotus fruits, bael, pīlu, pomegranate and many others. Some
of them are variously known in different places, but in Vṛndāvana they are always available in so many thousands of varieties that no one can fully describe them. At home Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī had made various types of sweetmeats from milk and sugar, such as gaṅgājala, amṛtakeli, pīyuṣagranthi, karpūrakeli, sarapūrī, amṛti,
padmacini and kaṇḍa-kṣirisāravṛkṣa. She had then brought them all for Kṛṣṇa. When Kṛṣṇa saw the very nice arrangement of food, He happily sat down and had a forest picnic.’”*
<h3>Lord Caitanya in the Madness of Separation from Krsna</h3>
![[Antya-5-7.jpg]]
*EN CC Antya 5 1975: “As His feelings of separation in the ecstasy of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī increased at every moment. Lord Caitanya’s activities, both day and night,
were now wild, insane performances. Suddenly there awoke within Śrī
Caitanya Mahāprabhu the scene of Lord Kṛṣṇa’s departure to Mathurā, and He began exhibiting the symptom of ecstatic madness known as udghūrṇā. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu spoke like a madman, holding Rāmananda Rāya by the neck, and He questioned Svarūpa Dāmodara, thinking
him to be His gopī friend. Just as Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī inquired from Her personal
friend Viśākhā, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu began speaking like a madman.”*
