Chaitanya Chaitanya Amrit Madhya-lila 5.144 Chaitanya Mahaprabhu went on from the Bhavnadi river and then And they came to the outskirts of Jagannath Puri Far away from Puri actually He saw the temple of Jagannath It is a relatively tall structure As compared to the neighborhood especially at that time Chaitanya Mahaprabhu became overwhelmed He became overwhelmed with ecstasy And just by seeing the temple what did he do? He offered his obeisances Preme nachite lagila Nachite Chaitanya Mahaprabhu first offered obeisances And then he got up and started dancing in ecstasy The destination for which I was longing so much has now come Now I have reached Puri Now I will be soon beholding Jagannath He couldn't restrain his ecstasy and started dancing Dhandavat kari One is dhandavat is actually a sign of great reverential devotion And dancing is a sign of ecstatic devotion And both were manifested by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Who actually respected the etiquette at the same time His ecstasy was not restricted because of the etiquette He kept expressing his ecstasy through dancing Bhakta gana avishthaya sabhe nache gaye Prema aveshe Prabhu sange raja mar gaye So bhakta gana avishthaya Seeing Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's ecstasy The devotees also became filled with ecstasy Sabhe nache gaye Everybody started dancing They were all very happy to see the Jagannath Deva But especially when they saw the ecstasy of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Their ecstasy increased all the more They also started dancing Prema aveshe Prabhu sange Overwhelmed by love Along with the Lord Raja mar gaye They started dancing and then Raja mar gaye Along the main road they started Approaching the Jagannath Temple Hase kande nache Prabhu hunkara garjan Dina krosha patahaila sahasra yojan So Hase kande Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was laughing He was crying He was dancing Prabhu hunkara garjan He was doing hunkara Rupa transmitted That is ecstatic vibrations And garjan is roars Resonating sounds Chaitanya Mahaprabhu All manners of transcendental symptoms of ecstasy Are manifesting through his body and through his speech And Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was so eager to have darshan of Jagannath Dina krosha patahaila Dina krosha Although it was just Dina krosha It was approximately 6 miles He felt as if Sahasraila sahasra yojan He felt sahasra yojan It was like Thousands of miles This is the nature of love So How the dimension of space changes because of love Of intense love and separation This is demonstrated through this particular Statement Dina krosha patahaila sahasra yojan Now How the dimension of Time changes Is mentioned in the Famous verse in the shikshashrikam Yuga idam nimeshen That nimeshen Nimeshen is the time of the blinking of an eye And that seemed like a yuga For a blinking of an eye For the time of the duration For the time of the duration of the blinking of an eyelid When Indra Mahaprabhu could not see the lord He felt as if This is like a yuga It is like a yuga When will this get over Just as Love Can Because of the intensity of love There can be relativity In terms of the perception of time Time may appear much longer than what it is Space can appear much longer than that it is Now we in our condition stage may have some experience of this If we know there is a feast And there is our favorite item say gulab jamun And we are waiting And then there are 4 hours for the feast And these 4 hours seem like 4000 years And we just feel separation somewhere So this is at our level So when there is strong emotional involvement in something Then whatever separates us from that thing That seems intolerably long Now whether it is space that is separating or the time that is separating us Both seem intolerably long Chaitanya Mahaprabhu predicted that Sahasrayojan Hundreds of males Thousands of Sahasrays Chaitanya is hundreds Sahasrayojan is thousands Yojan is several males Figures varies between several males 3 to 5, 7, 8 whatever Thousands of males Chaitanya Mahaprabhu predicted Chaitanya Mahaprabhu kept moving moving Just feeling intolerable separation from Jagannath And he still wanted to move as quickly as possible So while moving They came to the place called Atharanala And there is a Now this is the place Chaitanya Mahaprabhu would often go to There is a Vishnu Deity over there Chaitanya Mahaprabhu came to external consciousness Kichu Pahiya Prakashila And he came to external consciousness Now that means Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was moving along Walking along the road, dancing, singing But his consciousness was completely absorbed in Jagannath Minimalizing Jagannath, realizing Jagannath So he was walking, his body was performing the function of walking But he was not aware of his circumstances at all He was absorbed in Jagannath And then Atharanala means 18 arches Athara is 18 So Chaitanya Mahaprabhu spoke to Nithyananda Prabhu Nithyananda kahe Prabhu And to him he spoke Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was dancing in such ecstasy That he did not even realize that a danda had been broken He forgot to even ask about a danda But now as he realized Actually I am going to enter into temple and people will be there So he came a little bit to external consciousness And he said give me my danda And Nithyananda spoke Danda haila teena khanda A danda has broken into three parts Premaveshe padila tumi tomara dharinu Toma sahasehi dande upare padinu Nithyananda Prabhu is now telling a story To deflect whatever anger Chaitanya Mahaprabhu might be having Premaveshe padila tumi Being in ecstasy of love Overwhelmed by that love Padila tumi you fell You fell down And when you started falling Tomara dharinu I tried to catch you And then The force was so great that Tomara sahasehi dande upare padinu That when I tried to catch you You and I both of us fell And we fell I was holding the danda but he fell on the danda Danda upare padinu Nithyananda Prabhu could not tell that he intentionally broke the danda So he is Telling this story Now Dui janara bhare danda khanda khanda haila Khanda kaha padila kichu na janila Dui janara bhare danda Dui janara bhare is the weight of two people and it fell Khanda khanda haila Khanda khanda It broke into pieces Khanda kaha padila And where the pieces fell Kichu na janila I don't know about it I don't know where the pieces fell So what Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is now being told by Atiyal Prabhu is that not only the danda It is Pieces are also lost, they are untraceable In this way We are out of the situation now We can't get the danda back Kichu na janila, I don't know where they went Mor aparadhe tomara Danda haila khanda Ye uchita hai mor kar Tara danda Now Nithyananda Prabhu now completes the story and he He begs forgiveness He says mor aparadhe tomara Because of my aparad Because danda haila khanda Your danda got broken So ye uchita hai Whatever is appropriate Mor kar tara danda You punish me accordingly as is appropriate Now the way Nithyananda Prabhu has told the story It is as if Nithyananda Prabhu is not to blame And Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's ecstasy Which caused them to fall and then it broke And then the pieces are lost But still Nithyananda Prabhu In his own playful way Is reciprocating The Lord is saying that Yes it is my fault He is accepting the fault But with a different twist to the story It is because of my fault that Your danda was broken So punish me for it my Lord I will accept whatever punishment you want to give me Shuni Kichu Mahaprabhu dukha prakashila Ishadda krodha kari Kichu kahite lagila And Shuni Kichu On hearing this Kichu Mahaprabhu dukha prakashila He Exhibited some unhappiness, some sorrow Oh my danda has been broken Ishadda krodha kari And Little Kichu and Ishadda Both in small quantity Mahaprabhu was not furious Or not devastated He was in small quantity Ishadda krodha kari Little anger he did Kichu kahite lagila And He spoke something Now Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the He is the supreme lord And he knows In one sense that Nityanand Prabhu is performing A pastime with him, doing something special And transcendental At the same time Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is also playing the role of sanyasi So he wants to act in the exemplary way Also as sanyasi and that has been Foiled by Nityanand Prabhu's plan So now Chaitanya Mahaprabhu expresses some anger What he speaks, we will talk, we will see in our next talk.
