CC daily 85 – M 6.21-20 – Gopinatha Acharya’s deep devotion to Lord Chaitanya

Thank you Chapter 6 deliberations of Saranubhattacharya text 21 mukunda kahe prabhura ihan haila agam haila agamane ami sab aasiyachi maha prabhura sane so the setting for this speech is at the silmadwar of Jagannath temple there Gopinathacharya has met the devotees who accompanied Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, specifically he has seen Mukunda Dutta whom he has recognized and he asked after embracing Mukunda Dutta, where is Lord Chaitanya how is he so Mukunda replies mukunda kahe prabhura ihan haila agamane Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has already arrived over here, the agaman has happened and he said that ami sab aasiyachi maha prabhura sane, we have all come with him this was amazing news for Gopinathacharya that the lord whom he had been meditating on that lord has already come over here so now he turned around and we all have come so he was introducing the others now Nithyananda Goswami ke acharya kahila namaskar sabbe meli puche prabhura varta bar bar so Nithyananda Goswami ke Nithyananda there were signs of his being in the in an exalted order, like a renounced order therefore acharya kahila namaskar he offered his obeisances to Nithyananda Prabhu sabbe meli after meeting all of them, puche prabhura varta bar bar now although as per cultural etiquette he met all the others also, but when he had heard that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is already here, his heart was filled with delight and anticipation of when will I see lord Chaitanya and therefore he was greeting all of the other people by talking to them and he was asking how is lord Chaitanya, where is he what is his news, puche prabhura varta bar bar he again and again asked about the news of lord Chaitanya, so through this introduction Nithyananda Goswami is telling us about how devoted Gopinathacharya was to lord Chaitanya mukunda kahe maha prabhu sanyasa kariya nila chale aila sange amasa balaya so when he asked about the news the first news he gave is lord Chaitanya is already here but now mukunda gives further news, he says sanyasa maha prabhu sanyasa kariya that maha prabhu has taken sanyasa this was also a momentous news the devotees before lord Chaitanya took sanyasa most of the devotees did not have an idea that lord Chaitanya would be taking sanyasa and it was such a momentous news that he speaks it that lord Chaitanya has taken sanyasa and nila chale aila and after taking sanyasa he has come to nila chala and sange amasa balaya and he brought all of us with him then naturally the question may come if he has brought all of you then why is he not with you where is he? so anticipating that question of Gopinathacharya mukunda continues over here amasa ba chhadi aage gela darshane amisa ba pache aila na tandra anveshane amasa ba chhadi he brought us together but then he left us behind aage gela charg ahead eager to take darshan of the lord, darshane and we all have come behind amisa ba pache aila and now tandra anveshane now we are trying to find out where is he anveshane we are investigating to find out where is he and now it is further news now this news is spread here and there but specifically about what happened to a sanyasi coming there like that that is connecting that with Chaitanya Mahaprabhu that has not happened in the consciousness of Gopinathacharya so that information now mukunda will give anyonye loke ramukhe ye katha shunila sarvabhauma grihe prabhu anuman kaila anyonye loke ramukhe among themselves the way people were talking with each other from their mouths when they were talking ye katha shunila we have heard this now the word katha does not actually mean a story katha can also mean just general talk this is the news this is the event that we described ye katha shunila what is that katha sarvabhauma grihe prabhu that the lord is at the house of sarvabhauma anuman kaila this is our guess anuman kaila and we have inferred that Duryodhana Mahaprabhu must be at the house of sarvabhauma ishwara darshane prabhu preme achetan sarvabhauma laya gela apana bhavan they repeat the same story that when Chetan Mahaprabhu saw Ishwara he fell unconscious and Sarvabhauma took him to his home tomara milane yabe amara haila man daive se ikshane pailu tomara darshan now tomara milane yabe so the moment I thought that when I was thinking about tomara haila man I was thinking that I should be able to meet you daive by divine arrangement by providence se ikshane at that very moment pailu tomara darshan I was able to behold you, I was able to see you so now when the devotees had heard that Chetan Mahaprabhu has been taken to the house of sarvabhauma they were thinking how to approach that house who will introduce us Chetan Mahaprabhu is unconscious then how will the connection between us and him be established so they were thinking is there someone who can act as a via media between us and him between us and him who will introduce us to Sarvabhattacharya so thinking of this now Mukunda he knew that he was he was familiar with Gopinathacharya and Gopinathacharya lived in Nilachal so he was thinking if I can meet him then probably things can move forward more smoothly so just as I was thinking of him so daiva is coming second time, the first arrangement of daiva of providence was that Chetan Mahaprabhu entered the temple and fainted at that time Sarvabhattacharya was right there and the second reference of daiva is that when the devotees are coming and considering what next to do, at that time Gopinathacharya is also there he knows the devotees and he is related with Sarvabhattacharya also chala sab yai sarvabhavmar bhavan prabhu dekhi pache karib ishwar darshan so he said now Mukunda is proposing plan of action and he says chala sabe all of us let us all of us go yai sarvabhavmar bhavan lets go to the house of sarvabhavmar and prabhu dekhi we will see the lord how he is in what condition he is pache karib ishwar darshan and then we will come and take darshan of Ishwar of Jagannath so its interesting although they are right at the simmadwar and they can just go and take darshan of Jagannath their love for the lord Chaitanya is so great and they are filled with concern with anxiety he is full unconscious how is he and although Sarvabhattacharya is a great person but still the lord is among unfamiliar people so if he comes back to consciousness some unfamiliar should be there with him so lets see the lord lets make sure that he is well and then after seeing the lord we can come back again pache karib ishwar darshan then we can come and have darshan of the lord so here we see again the loving ecstasy the intense love of the devotees also their great concern for the lord you are hearing this Gopinath what happened to him the emotion is described at the end I became jubilant oh the lord is here and I will be able to see the lord soon also and it will not be very difficult because its my brother in laws house only so I can see him so I became jubilant I said yes yes all of you can also come your associates you come with him surely you can come and sarvabhauma ghar gela and they all together went to the house of sarvabhauma how the events transpired we will discuss in our next talk thank you.
