Gadadhara is a direct manifestation of Lord Radha.
Gadadhara Pandita was born in East Bengal.
Where Gadadhara is, Nimai is and vice versa; as well as Sita-Rama and Radha-Krsna.
Gadadhara stayed in the house of Jagannatha Misra and Mother Saci all the time.
Nimai’s mood was talkative and Gadadhara’s mood was serious, deep and silent. -Gadadhara was older than Nimai and was a class ahead of Nimai in school, but Nimai liked to talk about Vyakarana (Sanskrit grammar) as if he knew everything, and Gadadhara didn’t like that.
Mahaprabhu defeated the Nyaya (logic) philosophers.
Discussion between Nimai and Gadadhara about mukti (liberation).
The high definition of mukti is: knowledge of one’s eternal spiritual constitution.
The arguments between Gadadhara and Nimai were affectionate. -About the lila in which Radha wakes up crying and tells Krsna that She has lost Her chastity, but Krsna calms Radha with His explanations.
Radha gives many reasons for not coming to the material world, but Krsna insists and says that all the parikaras will participate. He says that She will come in a male body, that Lalita will appear as Svarupa Damodara, Visakha as Raya Ramananda, Rupa Manjari as Rupa Gosvami, Rati Manjari as Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami, Lavanga Manjari as Sanatana Gosvami, that all the sakhis will participate. He calls all the parikaras (associates) of Vaikuntha, Ayodya, Dvaraka and Vrndavana to help in the nama-sankirtana-lila of Navadvipa Dhama. Hanuman appears as Murari-gupta, Narada Rsi as Srivasa Thakura, Advaita Acarya as the combined form of Maha Visnu and Sadasiva. Everyone participates!
Prakata and aprakata lilas.
One sees the lilas only when one reaches the stage of bhava.
Nine internal and three external symptoms of bhakti.
Krsna’s lilas lasted 125 years and Mahaprabhu’s 48 years.
Mahaprabhu is the embodiment of compassion. He gave mercy and prema to everyone, even to offenders. And Krsna distributed prema only within Vrndavana.
Mahaprabhu gave prema and also the pot to receive it to those who did not have it.
Mahaprabhu took sannyasa and decided to stay in Jagannatha Puri at Mother Saci’s request. And Gadadhara decided to take ksetra sannyasi at Jagannatha Puri.
Different types of sannyasi: kutichaka, dahudaka, hamsa and parama-hamsa.
Gadadhara settles in Tota-gopinatha and Mahaprabhu digs out the Tota-gopinatha deity for Gadadhara.
Mahaprabhu settles in Gambhira and instructs Gadadhara to respect His vow rules.
Mahaprabhu at Ramkeli and the advice of Sanatana and Rupa.
Mahaprabhu goes to Vrndavana with a servant called Balabhadra Bhattacarya and a brahmana cook.
Mahaprabhu enters the forest of Jarikhanda and distributes prema to the animals.
Mahaprabhu leaves this world by entering the body of Tota-gopinatha Thakuraji, this is the conclusion of the Acaryas. One year later His associates left this world.
We must surrender to the lotus feet of Mahaprabhu to attain Radha’s service. Jaya Goura-Gadadhara!
