We passed through Jahnudvipa and Saranga Murari.
Lila of Mahaprabhu advising His devotee Saranga to accept a disciple.
Saranga did not want to accept disciples because in Kali-yuga there are no good disciples.
Saranga sees a corpse floating in the Ganges and sings the Mahamantra in the corpse’s ear, thus resurrecting the young Murari.
Guru is the one who frees the disciple from death, he takes the disciple to a good destination.
About Vrndavana Dasa Thakura, son of Narayani who served Mahaprabhu since she was a girl and honored Mahaprabhu’s mahaprasada.
Vrndavana Dasa Thakura wrote the Caitanya Bhagavata, he is glorious.
What Krsna could not taste in Krsna-lila, He tasted in Gouranga-lila.
Lila of Rama and Sita living in this place when He explained to Sita that later They would be born as Krsna and Radha, and then as Mahaprabhu and Visnu Priya.
Separation nourishes meeting.
Mahaprabhu wrote only the Siksastakam: ceto-darpaṇa-mārjanaṁ bhava-mahā-dāvāgni-nirvāpaṇaṁ… (CC Antya-lila 20.12).
