CC daily 90 – M 6.58-63 – Lord Chaitanya entrusts himself to Sarvabhauma

Thank you Chaitanya Chaitanya Avatam Madhya Leela Chapter 6, Text 58 Tumi Jagadguru Sarvalokahit Karta Vedanta Padao Sanyaseera Upakarta Tumi Jagadguru So Jaitanya Mahaprabhu replies Very humbly that You are the Teacher of the Universe Tumi Jagadguru You are the Sarvalokahit Karta And you are the benefactor of everyone also So Vedanta Padao Please Teach me Vedanta Sanyaseera Upakarta And in this way You Benedict Benedict the Sanyasi Now It's interesting that Normally Sanyasis are meant to Give instruction Rastas are meant to hear But what happens over here is that Jaitanya Mahaprabhu is asking Referring to Sarvalokahit Karta as a Jagadguru and he is saying that You instruct me, you teach me Vedanta Why is that Actually there is a transcendental plan of Jaitanya Mahaprabhu That through humility He will Open the heart of Sarvalokahit Karta And by opening the heart eventually He will transform Sarvabhattacharya Flooding his heart with Krishna Prem So to enable that to happen He will first Hear from Sarvabhattacharya So he says Tumi Jagadguru Therefore he addresses very respectfully You are a Jagadguru Jagadguru is a respectful way of speaking To someone who is very learned And Sarvabhattacharya He was a very learned person And he was a Great scholar of Vedanta And he would teach Vedanta to people And along with that He was Sarvalokahit Karta So a spiritual master Is actually the benefactor of everyone Because a spiritual master teaches To people about life's ultimate truths And Vedanta Padao You please teach me Vedanta And you are a Sanyasi Rupakarta How is that Prabhupada explains in the purport that Sarvabhattacharya used to Invite Sanyasis to his house And by inviting Sanyasis to his house He would offer them Prasad And in that way he would Serve them He would act as a well-wisher and friend Chaitanya Mahaprabhu would continue In the same humble tone now Ami balak sanyasi Bhandamand nahi jaane Tomara ashraya Neelun guru kari mane Ami Ami balak sanyasi I am a Balak is actually a very Self-denigrating word Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is Not even young He is not in his teens also He is 24, 25 So he is definitely A full youth But ami balak He says I am like a child Ami balak sanyasi I am young So the word balak It actually Conveys Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's humility in a very sweet way Bhandamanda Nahi jaane And because I am young, I am callow I am inexperienced and therefore Bhandamanda, what is good and what is bad I do not know Nahi jaane, tomara ashraya Neelun So I take shelter of you Guru kari mane I accept you As my guru This will be a very unexpected And surprisingly pleasant Turn of events But let's see how Chaitanya Mahaprabhu furthers His cause in this Disarmingly sweet way Tomara sanga Lagi mora iha agaman Sarva prakaare Karibe amaya palan So now Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Is so amazing here Tomara sanga lagi It is for getting your association Mora iha agaman My agaman I came here just to get your association Sarva prakaare Karibe In all ways amaya palan You should do You should protect me Please take care of me Now Chaitanya Mahaprabhu When he wants to Enter into the heart of someone He can do it in such a Enchanting, endearing way Chaitanya Mahaprabhu came to Jagannath Puri On the request of his mother That please don't go to Vrindavan It is too far away So you can go to Puri and there the same Krishna Of Vrindavan is there as Jagannath And Chaitanya Mahaprabhu also loved Jagannath And he wanted to have darshan So he came to have darshan of Jagannath But Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is telling That I came here for you And this is not a Counterfactual statement Chaitanya Mahaprabhu also had a desire To get the association of Sarvabhattacharya But the point was he wanted Sarvabhattacharya To be transformed And to be revealed to the world As a devotee And then That transformation Chaitanya Mahaprabhu wanted to bring about So that the glory of Krishna Bhakti And the glory of Harinam would be Broadcast to Far and wide such a great Celebrated scholar of Vedanta would be transformed So Now Chaitanya Mahaprabhu continues his Very sweet and endearing disarming speech And he is saying that you please Take care of me in every way Now what does it take care of me mean That national question may come up So Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Specifies, clarifies Aaj ye haila Amar badai vipatti Taha hai te kaila tumi Amar avyahati Avyahati So he says Today what happened Amar badai vipatti, it was a great crisis It could have been a great disaster What happened Taha hai te kaila tumi But from what could have turned out To be a great disaster You actually Amar avyahati Tumi You rescued me from that disaster You saved me Chaitanya Mahaprabhu had come alone Normally We also hear about how Nityanand Prabhu On having darshan of Jagannath also fainted But then There were devotees all around him and they studied him And then Nityanand Prabhu studied himself but when Chaitanya Mahaprabhu came He went into a very great ecstasy And he had come alone He had come ahead of all the devotees There was no one around him And when he fell unconscious No one to give him a shelter Give him a shoulder to study him And what to speak of anyone Comforting or studying him The guard was ready to beat him And considering him a A nuisance So it was only because Aravindacharya's timely intervention That That things did not go into a A bigger crisis So Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Was giving that credit and says that Just as you protected me today You please protect me in the future also Bhattacharya kahe ekale tumina Yahi darshane Amara sange Yaba kimba amara lokasane So Bhattacharya Kahe spoke Now Bhattacharya took the responsibility seriously And ekale tumina Don't go alone Please don't go alone Now to take darshan Normally if we have some company Then if some crisis comes along The person with us can help us But if you are alone then It becomes a problem Amara sange yabe You come with me I'll come with you always You go with me always Kimba amara lokasane Or I'll provide some escorts You go with them So that will be better for you Prabhu kahe mandira Bhitare na yaiba Garudera pashe rahi Darshan kariba Now Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Just casually states over here Something that will become Like an operational principle for him And what is this principle? Prabhu mandira bhitare na yaiba He says I will not go inside the temple Garudera pashe So there is a Garuda Garuda stambha outside the temple Rahi darshan kariba And from staying At the Garuda stambha From there I'll take darshan Actually Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Now this is quite a severe decision that he takes Because he first fell unconscious And disrupted the order At Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's temple He says that I will take darshan from afar Generally when we want to Go and take darshan we want to go close And take darshan of the lord as close as possible That's wonderful Closer we can see more clearly and we can Relish the Beauty of the deity And feel A closer connection to the deity by going closer Quite often that happens So it's good to go close but even if we are not able to go It's not that the lord Doesn't see us, it's not that we can't get The mercy of the lord, we can surely get mercy So here it is said that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu took the decision that I will stay far And from far only I will take darshan So the idea is Multiple, we don't know what all was in Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's mind When he said this but The point was that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu felt that better let me not Disrupt the temple order anyway Let me see from afar, now Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's heart Was filled with Krishna's presence, Jagannath's Presence and therefore he could always Behold Jagannath no matter how far he was And Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Exhibited, made this rule for himself That I will always behold from the Garuda Stambha itself And how things unfolded, further We'll talk in our future sessions.
