Some admirers of Haridāsa, who had to visit the Ṭhākura every day, feared the snake and gave a suggestion to the Ṭhākura to leave that place. Because his devotees were afraid of the snake, Haridāsa Ṭhākura agreed to the proposal on their account. But as soon as this was settled, the snake actually crawled out of its hole in the cave and left the cave for good. By the dictation of the Lord, who lives also within the heart of a snake, the snake gave preference to Haridāsa and decided to leave the place and not disturb him.* <h3>The Panca-tattva and Devotees on Sankirtana</h3> ![[0062_SB-11-2-2.jpg]] *In this Age of Kali, people endowed with sufficient intelligence will worship Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, who is accompanied by His associates, by performing congregational chanting of the holy name of Kṛṣṇa.* <h3>Harinama Sankirtana</h3> ![[0064_SB-11-2-4.jpg]] <h3>The Sankirtana-yajna Brings Happiness</h3> ![[0065_BG--12.jpg]] *3.10: “Be thou happy by this /yajña/ [sacrifice] because its performance will bestow upon you everything desirable for living happily and achieving liberation.” Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, wearing yellow, leads thousands of followers in the chanting of the holy names of Kṛṣṇa.

Furthermore, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was throwing remnants of green coconut pulp to the dog. Smiling in His own way, He was saying to the dog, ‘Chant the holy names Rāma, Kṛṣṇa and Hari.’ Seeing the dog eating the green coconut pulp and chanting ‘ Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa’ again and again, all the devotees present were very much surprised. When he saw the dog sitting in that way and chanting the name of Kṛṣṇa, Śivānanda, because of his natural humility, immediately offered his obeisances to the dog just to counteract his offenses to it. The next day, no one saw that dog, for it had obtained its spiritual body and departed for Vaikuṇṭha, the spiritual kingdom.”* <h3>Rupa-Sanatana</h3> ![[Antya-2-1.jpg]] *Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī and Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī collected many revealed scriptures, on the basis of which they compiled numerous conclusive books on devotional service and excavated many lost sites of pilgrimage in Vṛndāvana.* <h3>Lord Nityananda Blesses Raghunatha</h3> ![[Antya-2-3.jpg]] *Lord Nityānanda called Raghunātha dāsa, but Raghunātha did not come near.

The Lord danced and chanted and then enjoyed a picnic in the garden as He had done before. As previously, He danced in front of the Jagannātha car and observed the festival of Herā-pañcamī.” The details of the Herā-pañcamī festival (as given in Madhya-līlā, Chapter 14, verses 106-135) are as follows: “The Herā-pañcamī festival takes place five days after the Ratha-yātrā festival. Lord Jagannātha has left His wife, the goddess of fortune, and gone to Vṛndāvana, which is the Guṇḍicā temple. Due to separation from the Lord, the goddess of fortune arrives at the main gate of the temple accompanied by many members of her family, all of whom exhibit uncommon opulence. When the procession arrives, the maidservants of the goddess of fortune begin to arrest all the principal servants of Lord Jagannātha. The maidservants bind the servants of Jagannātha, handcuff them, and make them fall down at the lotus feet of the goddess of fortune. When the servants fall down before the lotus feet of the goddess of fortune, they almost fall unconscious. They are chastised and made the butt of jokes and loose language.”* <h3>Lord Caitanya Praises Haridasa Thakura</h3> ![[Antya-4-1.jpg]] *As He described the transcendental attributes of Haridāsa Ṭhākura, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu seemed to pose five mouths.* <h3>Lord Nityananda Kicks Sivananda Sena</h3> ![[Antya-4-2.jpg]] *EN CC Antya 2: Angry at Śivānanda Sena for not arranging adequate accommodations, Lord Nityānanda stood up and kicked him.* <h3>A Vaisnavi Climbs the Garuda Stambha</h3> ![[Antya-4-5.jpg]] *Suddenly an Orissan woman, unable to see Lord Jagannātha because of the crowd, climbed the column of Garuḍa, placing her foot on Lord Caitanya’s shoulder.* <h3>Caitanya Mahaprabhu Lying Unconscious at the Simha-dvara Gate</h3> ![[Antya-4-6.jpg]] *After searching for some time, the devotees came upon Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu lying in a corner by the northern side of the Siṁha-dvāra gate.* <h3>Lord Caitanya Mistakes a Sand Dune for Govardhana Hill</h3> ![[Antya-4-7.jpg]] *Lord Caitanya mistook the sand dune for Govardhana Hill and began running toward it as fast as the wind.* <h3>Caitanya Mahaprabhu Speaks to the Temple Gatekeeper</h3> ![[Antya-5-2.jpg]] *“One day when Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu went to visit the temple of Lord Jagannātha, the gatekeeper at Siṁha-dvāra approached Him and offered respectful obeisances. The Lord asked him, ‘Where is Kṛṣṇa, My life and soul? Please show Me Kṛṣṇa.” Saying this, He caught the doorkeeper’s hand. The doorkeeper replied, ‘The son of Mahārāja Nanda is here; please come along with me, and I shall show You.’ Lord Caitanya said to the doorman, ‘You are My friend. Please show Me where the Lord of My heart is.’ After the Lord said this, they both went to the place known as Jagamohana, where everyone views Lord Jagannātha. ‘just see!’ the doorkeeper said. ‘Here is the best of the Personalities of Godhead. From here You may see the Lord to the full satisfaction of Your eyes.’ Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu stayed behind the huge column called the Garuḍa stambha and looked upon Lord Jagannātha, but as He looked He saw that Lord ]agannātha had become Lord Kṛṣṇa, with His flute to His mouth.”* <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.”* <h3>Prakasananda Clasps Lord Caitanya's Lotus Feet</h3> ![[Antya-9-7.jpg]]

Everyone follows My path in all respects.” Kṛṣṇa reciprocates with the living entities according to their desire to serve Him as a servant, friend, parent, or lover. He also reciprocates with those who wish to merge into the Brahman, like the /yogī/ in the illustration. Others want only the fruits of their labor – power, wealth, beauty, or other ephemera of this world, and He also reciprocates with them according to what they desire and what they deserve.* <h3>Devotee Practicing Arcana</h3> ![[0070_BG--77.jpg]] *If with love and devotion one offers the Supreme Lord, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, a leaf, flower, fruit, or water, He will accept it.* <h3>Food According to the Modes</h3> ![[0071_BG-81.jpg]] <h3>Equal Vision</h3> ![[0072_BG-56.jpg]] *The Supreme Lord said, "Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor for the dead."* <h3>0076/BG-46</h3> ![[0076_BG-46.jpg]] *The humble sage sees with equal vision a learned and gentle <i>brāhmaṇa,</i> a cow, an elephant, a dog, and a dog-eater.* <h3>Kṛṣṇa, the Swift Deliverer</h3> ![[0077_BG-33.jpg]] *12.6–7: Kṛṣṇa flies toward His devotee on the back of His carrier, Garuḍa, in order to lift His devotee out of the material ocean of birth and death. “Those who worship Me, giving up all their activities unto Me and being devoted to Me without deviation, engaged in devotional service and always meditating upon Me, having fixed their minds upon Me, O son of Pṛthā – for them I am the swift deliverer from the ocean of birth and death.”* <h3>Krsna Reveals Himself to His Devotee</h3> ![[0078_BG-28.jpg]] *9.11: “Fools deride Me when I descend in the human form.
