Gauranga (Lord Caitanya) Takes Sannyasa

Full wealth, strength, fame, beauty, knowledge and renunciation, these are the six opulences of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. When that same Supreme Lord descended in the form of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, He decided to exhibit his supreme opulence of renunciation in the most wonderful way. But Nithyananda had descended with a desire to flood every town and village with Harinam for the sake of bestowing the most precious treasure of Bhakti indiscriminately. How would the Lord flood the world with Krishna Prem And reach out to the most sinful people While still being confined to household life How would the Lord renounce the association Of a wife like Vishnupriya Who was more beautiful than the goddess of fortune And who served him with the exclusive devotion Of a tender loving heart How would he leave aside his widowed aged mother Satchidevi, who lived only to see the sweet smiling face of Gauranga?

And how would he give up the company of his friends, in whose association Gauranga experienced the ecstasies of pure love for Krishna during the kirtans at Srivastakur's house? that the lord is performing sangeet in the neighboring room my child has left his body krishna you kindly be peaceful at heart you are all krishna's devotees you know that even the greatest sinner if he hears krishna's name at the time of death goes to krishna's abode my son my son is so very fortunate that he has left his body but the supreme lord is personally singing and dancing in our home he is very fortunate i am sure i am sure he has reached the most auspicious destination he's achieved the goal of his life he achieved the goal of his life all of you please please use emotions in your heart and do not cry so loudly for to disturb the lord's dancing do not speak about this to anyone for the lord's dancing should not be be disturbed I warn you if because of a loud crying the Lord returns to external consciousness then this very day I shall drown myself in the Ganges yes my heart is not feeling happiness in the Kirtan today has some sorrow entered Shiva's pundits house sorrow how can there be any sorrow in my home when the supreme source of all auspiciousness is singing and dancing in my home your beautiful The moon-like face, the blissful countenance, destroys oceans of sorrow and brings the unlimited joys of Vaikuntha into this material world, Gauranga. The fact is that Shiva's son has left his body and gone to Vaikuntha.

Shiva's son? What? Why didn't anyone tell me? Shiva's didn't want to remember.

Please tell me, how long back did it happen? The boy went to the spiritual world seven and a half hours ago, my lord. Seven and a half hours have already passed. Krishna, Shiva.

Gaurav. Gaurav. Please give the orders. And we will perform the last rite at once.

Shiva. All right. Please take me to the child. Please come.

Rise, oh child. Jai. Jai. Is it for the dead?

Why did you leave Shiva's pundit's house, my child? My dear lord, you are the controller of everyone's destiny. Who has the power to act against your will? My auspicious days of staying in Shivasi's house have now ended.

Now I must go to the city of another body. Who's anyone's father? And who's anyone's son? These relations are all temporary.

My dear Lord, I am your eternal servant. Please be merciful to me so that I may never forget you. Please give me the permission to depart. Jai God!

It is true my lord. Actually you are our real father, our real mother and supreme master. We only pray that in every birth we may never forget your lotus feet my lord. My dear Shiva, you know all about the ways of this world.

How can the sufferings of this world trouble you? In fact, anyone who even sees you will not be troubled by the sufferings of this world. Please know that Nityananda and I are your two sons. How will I be able to give up your company, Srivas?

How can I leave the association of a person who out of love for me doesn't even feel grief for the death of his own beloved son? This was the first time ever that the Lord indicated his future plans. Hearing these mysterious words, the devotees became bewildered. Amongst themselves, they discussed, but no one understood the inner meaning.

Open the door! The next day... What is your etiquette, huh? What is the use of you studying so many scriptures?

Disgrace to your family! But Panditji, why are you so angry with me? What is my offence? What is your offence?

Your audacious behaviour. Yesterday, I wanted to see your dance. And so I came to your house. For a long time, I kept knocking at the door.

And no one answered the door. What to speak of answering the door? One wretched brahmana repeatedly kept checking me at the door and didn't let me in. for this offense gauranga i curse you i curse you that you will be kept out of your house and will never enjoy family thank you very much thank you very much oh pandit you have rendered valuable service to me what did i say i have said this speak like this made me speak like this It must be you. Yes, it must be you.

Oh Gauranga, you are the controller of all controllers and you have made me speak like this. Gauranga, I can understand that you have come with a mission to inundate the whole world with Krishna Bhakti. And in order to achieve your mission, my lord, you are soon going to give up your family life and accept sannyas. Yes, yes.

The whole world will be inundated with Krishna Prema without any discrimination, my Lord. But because of my offence, because of this offence, my Lord, I will be deprived of your mercy. Why, Lord? No, no, my dear Brahmin.

Your curse has been a great boon to me because everything is according to my desires. you have nothing to fear go and live happily in Navadvip your life is now successful In this way, the supreme mystic orchestrated the events in a way that set the stage for executing his future plans externally he spent his days remaining occupied in performing regular household duties like an ideal grihasta just see ishan this tulsi is growing so beautifully she is the real opulence of a vaishnava's house that is because i have heard people in naudiv say That Sakshad Narayan resides in our home, in the guise of your son. Narayan? Yes. And our Nimai?

Yes. Ishaan, Narayan has lots of wealth and our Gauranga, he sometimes does not even have enough money in the house to feed us from one meal to the next. Narayan! Ma!

Here comes, here comes my darling son, my eye in this world of darkness. Come my child, come. What makes you so late today? I was worshipping the Ganga today after my bath.

On my way home, I met the great Vaishnava, Gopalacharya. He began narrating the glories of Srimad Bhagavatam. Being inspired by his association, I invited him to our home It is ten sannyasi disciples to honour Prasad. Nimai, it is so nice to have Vaishnavas coming to our house for Prasad because Lord Krishna always resides in their hearts.

You are right Ma. In fact, it is said that Krishna eats through the mouth of his devotees. It is so nice. But Sachi Ma, there is hardly any boga in the house.

Hi, ho Nimai, Shachima, come Bimal da, come, come, please sit, you look very blissful today, yes, today my daughter's marriage has been fixed up, feeling happy from inside, I wanted to offer charity to a suitable person, and who can be more deserving recipient than our dear Vishwambar, the darling of Navdeep, so please accept this, Shah, fresh milk, from my own mouth, own cows, moong dal and rice from my own fields, yogurt and banana. Please accept this offering and bless my daughter. Thank you Bhimon. Thank you so much.

I think Lord Krishna has personally sent you here today. Thank you so much. May your daughter be always blessed. May she live a very long and happy married life.

May she be always blessed. In this way, the pious people in Navadvip would always send foodstuffs to the Lord's home and the Lord would receive his guests with appropriate hospitality. Having duly served and worshipped them, he would then sit and honour Prashadam himself. Devoted to her husband, young Vishnupriya with a happy heart did everything to please her Lord and Master.

She was a reservoir of all good qualities She was only 14 years old And she had no other desires But to serve her husband In every way possible Seeing Vishnupriya's virtues Fortunate Sachi Found her joy Increased day by day Gazing at her son The most blessed mother Sachi Was not aware of anything But him Is anyone at home? Can someone help? This breath shakes in full, Bhaiyaga. Come, my dear friend.

Oh, Krishna. Please sit here. You are so kind to me. Why did you touch me?

And my body is diseased. Who says that you are untouchable? Who is touchable? And who is untouchable?

God has created everyone equally. You have chanted the holy names of the Lord. Therefore, you are the best amongst men. The supremely generous Lord Would always give charity To the distressed Oh my child May you live long And mother of such a son Must be so glorious Krishna Every day His students would come to learn From the exalted teacher Nimai Pandit Who is the fountainhead of knowledge Would sit down to teach them He appeared Just like the full moon Surrounded by a host of stars But unlike the other scholarly atheistic teachers of Navadvipa, Nimai Pandit would teach all the principles of Sanskrit Vyakaran only in relation to devotion to Krishna.

We shall study about verbal roots. Verb is used to denote action. All action depends upon the presence of the soul within the body. And the soul gets all potency from the supreme soul, Krishna.

Therefore, Krishna is the source of all actions and also verbal roots. Wrapped in meditation on Lord Krishna, the Lord and Master of Goddess Saraswati explained how all sutras, histories and commentaries were in truth glories of Lord Krishna only. What is the perfection of all Varnashrams? Lord Narayan is the perfection of all varnas.

How is he the perfection of all varnas, O Pandit? Please give us the right explanation. Lord Krishna's glance created the varnas. Therefore, worshipping Lord Krishna at every moment is the perfection of all varnas.

Therefore, I say, with your minds, always think about Krishna. Worship Krishna. Associate with the devotees of Krishna. And with your mouths, always chant, Hari Hari!

That is the perfection of Lord Krishna. Enthralled, the students listened with a single heart. No one spoke a word. All these students were eternal servitors of Lord Krishna.

Two hours of the night had passed and still he did not stop. After some moments, he returned to external consciousness and embarrassed at heart. He looked at the faces of all of them and said, Please return to your homes and think about what I have just said And return tomorrow morning We do not have the power to understand this extraordinary explanation Yet, he is so attractive that we cannot give up his association Yes, yes, it is impossible to give up his association In this way, day and night, the Lord tasted increasing sweetness of his own love for Krishna However, seeing Nimai becoming more and more oblivious to the external world, poor Sachi's motherly heart began to palpitate with deep-felt fear and apprehension. That if remaining, he is my life and soul.

I don't lose him. He was intoxicated in his sentiments of love. Even at night, Gauranga's dreams were filled with visions of Krishna. Krishna!

Krishna! Govinda! Krishna! Govinda!

Hey Shyam Sundar! Krishna! Shyam Sundar! Shyam Sundar!

My life! Krishna! Krishna! Da Krishna gone!

Son of Nanda Maharaj! Wears yellow garments! Feather on his head! Ayu Krishna!

Oh Krishna! When will I attain the lotus feet of Krishna? Krishna, where is Kalindi, where is Yamuna, the beautiful forest of Raj, where is my Govardhan, where am I Radha, Lalitha, oh Krishna. I would like to go to the Ganga to take my bath.

Please bring my clothes. I am all ready, Shahan. Shahan, where is our Nimai? Shahan has gone to pay that Ganges.

He will be coming soon. The people of Nadia regularly saw the Lord's ecstasies. ecstasies which even Brahma and the demigods would yearn to see he would tremble and weep he would perspire profusely he would roll on the ground and fall unconscious then his servants would gather around pick him up and carry him to his home again again on the banks of Ganga he saw a herd of cows grazing He ran after them, swooned and then fell unconscious. Please Ishaan get some water, hurry up. What time of night is it?

Night? It is daytime not night Nimaal. But where am I? You're in your home Nimaal.

Look here it is Gadadhar, your dear Gadai. Gadadhar! Gadadhar! You are a great saint Gadadhar, right from your very childhood.

You were wrapped in meditation on Krishna Trying to taste what is worthless I wasted my life Finally I found the priceless treasure Due to my impious deeds The treasure has fled away Treasure has fled away Be pacified my son Just chant Krishna's holy name Thank you Thank you all of you for bringing my son home Thank you You may all please return to your own homes now Krishna Beholding these unusually rare moods of the Lord, Sachi and Vishnupriya simply wept. Sometimes, he would chant the names of Krishna. On some days, he would chant the names of Radha. And on some days, he would chant Mathura, Mathura.

And on one day, Vishwambar, the master of the universes, accepted the mood of the Gopis and chanted Gopi, Gopi, Vrindavan, Gopi, Gopi, Vrindavan, Gopi, Gopi Oh Nimai Pandit, you are supposed to be a great scholar Then why are you chanting Gopi, Gopi? Where in the scripture does it say to chant the names of Gopi? And what piety will be born by chanting Gopi, Gopi? According to Shastras, you should be chanting, Krishna, please quiet.

Krishna? That rascal? Why should I worship Krishna? Krishna is a thief!

Krishna, from behind a tree, killed Wali? Even though Wali did nothing wrong to him. He is a debauchee, always controlled by women. Not only that, once Krishna cut the ears and nose of a woman.

Bani Maharaj came to give Krishna charity, but he took away all his wealth and prestige and pushed him down to a planet. Why should I worship such a Krishna? And you? You are instructing me to chant the names of Krishna?

Wait a minute. I'll teach you a good lesson. You dare not again tell me to chant the names of Krishna. Frantically running, the devotees caught and grabbed the Lord.

Gathering around him, they pacified the Lord. While the frightened student ran far away and came to a place where many of his other student friends were present. Who's turn? Who's turn?

Who's turn? It's my turn. It's my turn. No.

No. It's my turn. Yesterday was a different day. No.

No. It's my turn. It's my turn. What happened?

Please have a seat. Why do you look so fearful? Don't ask me. I'm lucky to be still alive.

Lucky to be still alive? What do you mean? What do you mean? You know that Nimai Pandit?

Who doesn't know Nimai Pandit? He loves me. Everyone says that he is a great scholar. Right?

Yes. So today I went to his house to see him. And you know what I saw? What?

I saw him in rapt absorption, chanting Gopi Gopi. Gopi Gopi? Yes. Gopi Gopi.

So I told him that you should chant the names of Krishna. Now tell me, am I wrong in saying that? Just say it. Exactly.

But on hearing this, he became inflamed with anger and started blaspheming Krishna again and again. Blaspheming Krishna? Yes. Again and again?

Yes. That's strange. What did he say? I have no power to place those blasphemies in my mouth.

And not only that, you know what he did? What? He picked up a stick and ran behind me to beat me up. Beat you?

Yes. Yes, somehow I saved my life and that's why I am able to speak to all of you. What does this Nimai Pandit think he is? And what right does he have from me like this?

Yesterday we all studied together. Why all of a sudden he has to become a big master? Nimai Pandit! He may be the son of Jagannath Mishra, but we are not the son of ordinary men either.

The hell he does this to us? He is not a king. Why should he punish us? What end of Vashnava is he?

If he does not chant the name of Krishna, which Vashnava chant Gopi, Gopi? Tell me, do we not also have Brahminical powers? Don't worry my friend, if next time he does anything like that, we will all get together and deal with him accordingly. Yes, we will show him.

In this way, the envious offenders express their opinions. But Lord Gauranga, who is the super soul in the hearts of all, knew all that they were saying. So now, they have decided to beat me. They are criticizing me and speaking poisonous words against me.

I can see that even though I have descended to freely distribute love of God without discrimination, There are still some classes of men who will remain resistant to my mercy. Only way I can deliver them is by taking sannyas. Sannyas! Very soon I will shave my head and take sannyas.

Yes, I will take sannyas. Having resolved in his mind to take sannyas, Lord Gaurasundar then grasped Nityananda Prabhu's hand and took him to a secluded place. Last night, Kirtan and Sivas's house was unusually ecstatic, Nimaay. Yes, Nitai.

And Mukunda singing, it was so sweet and melodious. It was just like raining nectar. And Gadadhar, he was losing consciousness again and again. And what to speak of Adhoita, he was just jumping and roaring like a wild lion.

This is the glory of Harinam. Nama Chintamani Krishna Chaitanya Rasa Vigraha All these devotees just wait to see your kirtans But it's only your presence amongst us, Gaurav Which is the life and soul of all these devotees They simply live to see you dance in their ecstatic love Like an intoxicated elephant Nithay, come, sit Nithay My dear Nithyananda, you are my most confidential associate Please listen to what my heart has been wanting to speak to you for a very long time. We both have incarnated in this world to give the most foolish and fallen people Krishna frame. We both have descended to deliver the people of Kaliya from the clutches of material bondage and suffering by giving them pure devotional service.

Yes, Nitai, if people bow down to me, they will be liberated. Certainly, certainly he is the most fortunate who bows down to my beloved Gaurav. But now, now just the opposite is happening. People are criticizing me, blaspheming me.

In fact, they want to beat me. What? They want to beat you? Yes, beat me.

And tell me, Nityananda, how to give these people pure love? That is why I have made up my mind. Very soon, I will shave my head, leave my family life, and take sannyas. What?

Sannyas? Yes, sannyas. I will beg door to door from those very people who blaspheme me. And because I am a sanyasi, they will have to bow down to me.

And for this, I will give them Krishna's love. Nithai, in this way, I will liberate all the worlds. Nithai, I will liberate all the worlds by the loud chanting of the holy names. Everyone bows down before a sanyasi.

No one will attack a sanyasi. My Lord, your words are crashing like a thunderbolt in the core of my heart. Vidya, Jananda, to see you, the supreme enjoyer of all ambulances, as of a sannyasi, begging all, it will be more painful than death. Karanga, please don't be unhappy at heart.

You know I cannot do this without your permission. I'll do whatever you say. you know the purpose of my descent so nithyananda if you want to deliver the world please please do not forbid me my lord you are the supreme independent personality of godhead whatever you say will certainly come to pass you are the supreme controller of all the living entities and the supreme maintainer also whatever you say is of the ultimate benefit of all the living entities but please please Gauranga please talk to the other Vaishnavas before taking such a heartbreaking decision please talk to them and hear what they have to say yes Netai all right all right Netai so be it so be it Gauranga tolerate the hardships of a wandering mendicant What will happen to Shachi Mata? She is an old, helpless lady. She has no one in the world except the Lord to live for.

Only happiness in her life. Gauranga! Gauranga! Your mother will simply die.

Shachi Mata will simply die. She will simply suffer and die. She will simply suffer and die. Vande Sri Krishna Chaitanya Nithyananda Sahodita In this way, the most magnanimous Lord was unfolding his manifest pastimes to fulfill the purpose of his descent in this mortal world.

Accepting the advice of Lord Nityananda, Gaur Sundar went to the assembly of Vaishnavas. Dear friends, life without Krishna is not life at all. It is just like the life, the birds and the beasts. Without Krishna, all activities of religion are futile.

They are just like a brahmin without knowledge or a fish without water. My heart is throbbing relentlessly in separation of Krishna. His complexion defeats the luster of Lucifer. fire, and whose constant smiling, puating my heart, in search of him, I want to travel to distant countries, by taking the dress of a sanyasi, all of us, you suddenly go to a distant country, all the devotees will separate out my lord, yes, Mukunda, what he says is and again become submerged in the ocean of material existence. Iman, Murari, I can definitely say that, if you leave now, whatever you have accomplished so far, will be all lost.

Yes. Hey, Kaptur of Kali, your shelter, please. Yes, yes, yes. And now, he will sit gone away.

Kauranga, she was, she was. How can you be so cruel to us, Gauranga, with your absence? We will all die with a broken heart. Day and night, we know no one else but only you.

Even in our dreams at night, we see your beautiful moon-like face, Gauranga. Vishambhat! Murari! Only my lotus-like hands planted a wonderful tree, by watering it day and night, by taking great care, you maintained and protected it, you died, you tied many jewels to its roots, but before it gets the chance, just like a great businessman builds distant countries, To earn good wealth for his friends and families.

Similarly, I must travel to seek for the wealth of Krishna Prem. And I will bring it back and give it to all of you. Who will you give your wealth of love of God to? Yes.

When you come, you will find all of us are dead in war. Let me tell you Gauranga, I will be the first one to die. She was, she was. Don't be apprehensive about our union and separation.

I cannot leave you, all the devotees. Please know, I am always residing within the Krishna temple of your home. Listen Gauranga, but why? Why must you leave?

Is there anything wrong with Kriyastashyam? You have a devoted, a loving mother and such wonderful friends, Gauranga. Where in the scriptures does it say that one must leave such a household ashram to shave one's hair and take sannyas at such an early age? I do not find this anywhere Gauranga, and if you leave, the first thing you will achieve will be the death of your mother.

Ultimately, whatever you decide, you will do. How can you be so cruel to your mother? She is old, she is a poor widow, she lives only for you. She treats every devotee, every sadhu as her own child.

Such an embodiment of pure love she is. She is like a universal mother. And you Gauranga, Vishwambar, you are the sustainer of her life. You will go away.

You will break her heart. You will end her life, Gauranga. Yes, Gauranga. Gauranga, yes.

You will kill her. She will live her life. You will kill her. But why don't you all understand?

In separation from Krishna, my heart is burning. My senses are burning. My limbs are on fire. Your race is through my entire body.

Your words are like poison to me, Gauranga. Gauranga, no. This day, I cannot hear your appeals. I cannot hear your appeals.

Gaurangi. I will take the dress of Asanyas. Please. And go wherever the lord of my life orders me.

Krishna. Prana. Please bless me so that the love of Godhead enters in the core of my heart. What else can I say?

Your words are strange, Gauranga. Merely by shaving one's hair can one attain love of Krishna. What religious benefit will you attain, Gauranga? What religious benefit will you attain?

Oh Gadadhar, you are my very best friend, you are my very life, I am known as the Gauranga of Gadai, you know my internal feelings, you are the embodiment of my internal potency, why do you speak in such a way? They urged him. They pleaded with him. They begged him.

But they could not dissuade Gauranga from his resolve to chase after the fallen conditioned souls. Or you go, stay with us for a few more days and perform Sankirtan of the Lord's holy name. And after that, you may do whatever you want. You may do whatever you want.

Mukunda, you are the most beloved of all Kirtan Singhas. Sing Mukunda, sing. Sing the auspicious glories of Krishna. Sing, Mukunda.

The devotees in the kirtan of the holy names, they temporarily forgot all their sorrows. Even completely forgot that the Lord was thinking of taking sannyas. This was the power of the kirtan. Soon the news broke out amongst the residents of Navadvip.

Hearing this sad news filled everyone's heart with a burning pain. They began to plan how to keep Gauranga from leaving them and taking Sannyas. What has happened? Being on the horizon of Shravadvi, the city which is shining with Gauranga's effulgent presence will soon be plunged in dense darkness.

Kauranga will soon leave Nadia to take Sannyas. What? Sannyas? Nima is going to shave his head.

If I can't see his neatly tied hair, how will I be able to maintain this sinful life? How will we just leave to see that? Perfection of life! Those lustrous hands are separated from his head.

How will I learn them? How has providence created this beautiful body of Kauranga? Which makes me cry affectionately. Everyone with delight.

As long as he remains with us. Just relish his beauty with your eyes. and attentively hear his nectarian words, for soon the Lord will leave his house, his wife, his mother, and all of us. us somehow such a day we learned about Gauranga's plans to leave home and take sannyas hearing the news her motherly heart began to throb from the thought of of imminent separation from her darling son. She ran madly here and there in Navadvipa, asking everyone. It's true.

It's my Gauranga. It takes time. Please, someone tell me. My darling son.

You are only light in this world of darkness. Could you please let go of it? Someone please tell me. All of you.

All of you are his devotees. All of you are his devotees. All of you are his devotees. All of you are his devotees.

All of you are his devotees. All of you are his devotees. All of you are his devotees. Someone please tell me.

All of you, all of you are his devotees. I must have told you something. Please, please tell me. No one could answer her.

She fell unconscious to the ground. Sathiva, Sathiva, Sathiva. Had no power to stop the stream of tears that endlessly flowed from her eyes. Near me for a while.

Nimai, you are my only son. My only love. My only reason to live in this world. Please place your beautiful golden hands on my head.

And tell me whether the news that I have been hearing is true or not. What news have you heard, mother? I have heard that you are going to leave home. Renounce your family and friends.

And take Sanyas. Tell me, Nimai. Is this news true? Nimai, please tell me.

Is this news true? Tell me, Nimai. This news is making me feel like the sky is crashing down on my head. Ma, glory to the family.

Everyone in Nadia says that I am fortunate to have you as my son. Please don't crush this pride of mine. Please, those who had previously looked upon me to get good fortune, will now turn their faces away from me to avoid inauspiciousness. Why do I have to do this to me only?

Why? I was blessed with beautiful moonlight suns, but your elder brother Vishwaroop left me and went away. Mother love, return to Vaikunth. When I see your love filled eyes, I forget all these sufferings, Nimai.

And now, if you also abandon me and go away, then my life will become like a fearful, desolate forest. Dear Nimai, it is to teach the true principles of religion that you have descended to this world. But if you desert your widowed and helpless mother like this, then how will you teach real Dharma? How will you teach?

Ma, be pacified. Ma, be pacified. Think of it. More dearer than life.

You have a chaste and devoted wife. Beginning from Advaita and Sivas. You have a host of followers. And Nithyananda, he is like your own life manifested in another form.

And Gadadhar and Sivas, you are dear friends. all this i don't understand what is the need to leave and take sannyas please stay at home please stay at home and perform kirtan's day and night in our courtyard i will not stop you if you leave then you will be the cause of the death of all the devotees first i will die then Then Vishwapriya will die. Then all the devotees will perish one after another. Srivasa, Mukunda, Murari, Narayana Vasudeva. All will die without seeing you, Nima.

All will die. Please consider all this and don't leave. Please. Overcome with love and grief, Sachi spoke.

Gauranga sat and listened. Sachi was in a state of utter desperation She had turned white Sachi was like Kaushalya speaking to Lord Ramachandra Oh Himalaya, your complexion is like molten gold Your eyes are like beautiful lotus flowers Your teeth are like pearls and jasmine flowers Your beautiful hair is the object of everyone's affection, and your soft feet, how will your soft feet endure the rocky roads? Oh Nimaay, who will feed you when you are hungry? The scorching rays of the sun will melt your body.

Oh Nimaay, as your mother, how will I tolerate these distresses? How will I tolerate? I will end my life by drowning in the Ganges. Ma, please be pacified.

Please listen carefully to what I am saying. I have been your son. There was a time when you were known as Prishni and I appeared as your son, Prishnidhar. When you were Aditi in Swargaloka, then also I came as your son, Vaman.

You were Devahuti and I appeared as your son, Kapila. In another world, you were Kaushalya and I was your son Ramchandra, imprisoned by the cruel Kamsa. I was your son. Then also you were my mother.

And now, in Kalyug, I have appeared in two forms. You are the earth goddess. And therefore, you are the mother of my deity form. You are also the tongues of everyone.

Therefore, you are the mother of my form as the holy name. In this way, birth after birth, I have been your son and you are my mother. Please don't be unhappy at heart. I am telling the truth.

Alright, Nimaay. Alright. Alright. Then, then I will also come with you and spend my life discussing Krishna Gatha.

I will also, I will also put earrings. I will also come with you, Nimaay. I will also wear the red cloth of a renunciate and follow you. At least, I will be able to gaze upon your moon-like face every day.

You cannot do that, mother. I can't see your walking and gestures. Graceful like that of an elephant. How can I remain alive, Nima?

How can I remain alive? Your words shower nectar upon me. Your limbs fill my house with light. Even when there are no lamps I will guarantee your liberation too You have shown so much of love and affection Throughout my entire life Please know That I am eternally indebted to you You are very very dear to my heart Then why are you throwing me Into the fire of death like this I don't understand While Providence treats me so severely All right then You want to leave But I will take poison While you are still here No, ma At least I won't have to hear That you have taken sannyas Mother Mother Repeatedly I am telling you Do not be disturbed by meaningless miseries You would have shown Your love and affection instead of me so much benefit please know that independent will of the supreme sometimes bring people together sometimes take them apart we should surrender to his sweet will other mothers sons bring the transient treasures of gold and silver which will bring only misery and death I will bring the top most treasure of Krishna Prem please know because of your pure love for me I will never leave you I'll be wherever you want me to be my heart I will never leave you the terrible news of imminent separation from her lord plunged young Vishnu Priya into an ocean of gloom she approached her husband in a solitary place and spoke to him O Lord of my life I have heard that you are going to leave me and take sannyas This news crushes my heart You know my Lord My life, beauty, dresser, ornament, glasses and gesture are all meant exclusively for you If you leave me what is the value of my life Who told you that I will go away and take sannyas I will always tell you about my plans Vishnukriya?

I can guess that you are cleverly trying to trick me. Without my knowledge, you will just run away suddenly. Is it because of me, the worthless one who is keeping you bound in this material existence, that you are leaving to take sannyas? If so, then let me take last loving glance at you before I kill myself by poison.

Then you can stay happily here in your home listen oh most dear one everything you see in this creation is temporary and always changing God and the Vaishnavas are the only two eternal truths sons husbands, mothers, fathers are all temporary illusions but I know nothing other than your notice speed my lord Under whose shelter? Your mother, Sachi, is old and weak. Your name is Vishnupriya. So make yourself worthy of your name.

Do not uselessly lament. Krishna is the actual husband of everyone. No, this cannot happen. No, Krishna.

The time has passed slowly, burning everyone's hearts in the fire of anxiety. For them, the ten directions seemed empty and full of darkness. Feeling disturbed and restless, friends and relatives, animals and birds all just wandered aimlessly here and there. As the day for his acceptance of sannyas approached, Gauranga spoke to Lord Nithyananda in a secluded place.

My dear Nithyananda, on the day when sun travels north, I will travel to the village of Indrani near Katwa and there, accept sannyas from the most pure Keshav Bharti Maharaj. Please convey this to Gadadhar, Pramana, Chandrashekhar Acharya, Peerless Mukunda and no one else. Oh my lord, all whatever you are saying is breaking my heart into millions of pieces. I am an eternal servant.

I will not deviate from executing this sacred duty. We are non-different, Nithai. Anyone who worships me, but doesn't worship you, will never have the power to attain me. Gauranga!

The noble-hearted Nithyananda always tasted the nectar of love for Gauranga through his unconditional service. Whatever he said or did was always in agreement with Gauranga's wishes. Finally, on the day of Makar Sankranti, by the Lord's own will, all his devotees came to see him. But they did not know that it was the last time they would see him as Navadvipa Chandra.

Mukunda! Sridhar! Sridhar! I was waiting for you.

My heart is feeling boundless joy to behold your moon-like face and chastised smile. That is because you have such a pure and gentle heart. What have you brought for me? What can I give you my lord?

It's just some of the pumpkin from my rooftop. Oh, your pumpkin. Thank you very much. It is always a great pleasure to relish the pumpkin from the rooftop of your hut.

Thank you very much. Thank you for accepting. Tomorrow I will leave. I will not be able to eat this squash.

How can I reject Sridhar's gift? I must eat this squash today. As the Lord was thinking out of love for his devotee, suddenly, Please accept this humble offering. Thank you very much.

This is good. Very good. Mother, please cook this pumpkin and milk together. In this way, the last food that Gauranga had was pumpkin sweet rice, which was affectionately prepared by Sachi Mata from Sridhar's pumpkin.

After taking that prasad, he washed his mouth and went to take rest. He's of my son. I have a right to inherit whatever property he has. Now that all of you have gathered here, you may do whatever you like.

Dimash has left me. Oh, Sachivana! It's like a helpless cow which has been separated from her loving calf. Crying is piercing the very earth.

Your love does happen to doubt me. Look at all the lovely maasis. They are all limp and lustreless. Their life is about to leave their bodies.

Vishwapriya is all alone crying. She is delirious and conscious. Look Advaita, look at the pitiful condition of Sanchi Maa. Advaita, you have always been the leader of the Vaishya community.

Please do something and save the situation. Please do something. Yes. I'll do something.

I'll take my life by entering into the canteen. Don't say that. No. There is no reason for me to live without beautiful sight of Kauravika. dancing and chanting with him, hearing his sweet necking and words.

I cannot live. I cannot live. Oh Nimai, who will call me mother? Who will call me mother now?

On this very day, I'll go to the Ganges and take my life. Advaita! And if anyone tries to stop me, Then in the middle of the night, I'll secretly go and drown myself. Padvaita, please be patient at heart.

None of you should take your life. take your life. In two or four days, the Lord will return and all of you will be chanting and dancing with Lord Gaurachandra as you did before. Each of you, please happily worship Lord Krishnachandra. Jai!

Jai! Jai! Oh, messenger of this celestial voice, thank you very much for this proclamation. You have given us reason to continue our life.

The celestial voices have spoken. Gauranga will be back to dance with us, to sing with us. Hearing this voice from the sky, everyone abandoned the thought of leaving his body. They began talking.

Let's go and look for him there. We heard that he went to Katwa to take Sanya from Keshavati Maharaj. But it is not certain. Let's first find out the facts and then we will inform everyone about it.

Meanwhile, moving like a maddened elephant, Gauranga crossed the Ganges and came to the town of Kantaknagar. O saintly one, you are a pure devotee of Krishna. You see Krishna everywhere. He is the master of your life and you have the power to give him to others.

When will I be able to see Krishna? Only when I wear the same dress as you. Then I will be able to see him. Please be merciful to me and give me sannyas. so that I can dedicate my life in service of Krishna like you.

Sanyas, look at his age. And what about his wife? Yes. Sanyas, how is that possible, Gauranga?

Yes. You are only 24 years old. Still a tender youth. And Sanyas is not meant for a young man.

Yes. And besides, you are exceedingly beautiful. And in youth, the influence of lust, greed and an illusion are very powerful your mind remains restless and uncontrolled you cannot execute properly the strict vows of renunciation my dear child remain in family life and perfectly execute the duties of a grihasta what can I speak in front of you please don't bewilder me other than And you, who knows the truths of self-realization. Human birth is very rare in this life.

To practice devotional service is even more rare. The rarest, most valuable thing of all is to get the association of a pure devotee who can give Krishna Prem. In a moment, this body will perish. If you hesitate, then this body will disappear.

Then how will I obtain Krishna? please don't trick me please give me sannyas no Maharaj no Maharaj but what about your mother yes she's a old aged she lives only for you Gauranga who will take care of her and your wife it's only 16 years old she's the embodiment of all good qualities exactly she'll become a widow for the rest of her life Gauranga Listen, Gauranga, my heart trembles at the very thought of awarding you sannyas. Yes. Kindly go home. Yes, my lord.

And first get the permission of your mother and your wife. Yes. I will follow your orders. No one can take their eyes off the indescribably attractive form of Gauranga.

And whoever has Gauranga as a husband is the most fortunate woman in the three worlds. Come back, Vishwamabhag. Come back. I know your true identity.

You can convince anyone of whatever you desire. I will give you sannyas. No! No!

No! This is irreligious. This is completely unjust. Yes.

And an act of cruelty. Yes. Yes. What chance does it make to deprive an old widowed mother and a young wife of their only shelter in life?

Just look at his remarkable matchless beauty. Yes. He is more beautiful than Cupid. No Keshavati Maharaj, we are not allowed this time.

Yes, yes. It is impossible. When a person passes 50 years of age, he becomes naturally detached from material enjoyment. And then he is eligible for sannyas.

But sannyas, sannyas for a mere boy. This is ridiculous. Yes Maharaj. Keshav Bharti Maharaj, if you give sannyas to Gauranga, you will destroy your ashram and threaten the Ganges!

Yes! Such a disgrace to religious principle will not be allowed in this town of Kantak Nagar! Yes Maharaj! It is good that you all have come now chanting the Holy Names of Krishna.

Sing, sing Mukunda sing, sing the auspicious glories of Krishna. That is the Yuga Dharma for Kali Yuga. trust you with this duty you can give up this hair cutting business by the mercy of Shri Krishna she'll live a happy and prosperous life and then you will come to my eternal abode why couldn't eagerness of anticipation of being able to fulfill the purpose of his descent Lord Gaurahari became ecstatic like a madman leave stricken villagers overcome by observing the shocking spectacles could only respond through their loud cries how those very hair which in a previous Yuga forced the go piece to give up their shyness and abandon their Their homes, families and everything else, those very hair which Brahma and Shiva had formerly glorified, were now cut off. All the men and women of Kantak Nagar were besides themselves in agony. Why am I still living, this is a terrible day.

If you seek to leave the Ashram, Aarti Maharaj, you could have shoved this. You could have... Allah, the most beautiful thing in this world, has gone forever. That personality whispered the Sanyas Mantra in my ears.

I will tell you that mantra, and you can confirm whether it is right or not. This is the best of all Krishna Mantras. we have certainly achieved the causeless mercy of Sri Krishna. In this way, the Guru of the three worlds first initiated his own devotee and then received the same mantra from him. Please always keep them with you.

As regards his Samyasa name, the name Bharati would mean the disciple of Keshavarati. That name is not appropriate. Since you have come to freely distribute Krishna consciousness to the whole world, your sannyas name shall be Sri Krista Chaitanya. In this way, the glorious Lord accepted sannyas and revealed his supreme sacrifice and compassion to have ever been manifested in creation and following in the footsteps of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

Srila Prabhupada also took sannyas and left the holy land of Vrindavan to chase after the most sinful conditioned souls like us. Anyone who hears this pastime of Lord Chaitanya taking sannyas will attain a great wealth of ecstatic love for Lord Krishna, break all the bonds that tie him to this world and will become a servant of Lord Chaitanya.
