Is a talk given by His Holiness Jayapataka Swami Maharaj on February 7, 2023. The talk was about the all encompassing San.
SA 10.58 after seeing Lord Jaganna, Shri Caitanya Mahprabhu began his all encompassing Sankirtan. He formed seven groups which then began to chant Purport by His Divine grace Ac Bhaktivedanta Swami Srila Prabhupada for an explanation of the Veda Sankirtan one may refer to Madhya Leela chapter 11 verses 215238.
Which was all encompassing.
So this Veda Sankirtan was a Sankirtan which was all encompassing.
And then I would have different groups of devotees.
Lord Chaitanya would have different groups of devotees. Seven groups chanting the Hare Krishna Maha mantra Sri Chaitan Charitamrita Antilila 10.5 in each of the seven groups was a principal dancer such as Advaita Acharya or Lord Nithyananda Shri Caitanya Charitamritta Antilila 10.60 the dancers in the other groups were Vakrishwar Pandit, Achutananda Pandita Shreeva Satya, Raj Khan and Narahari Das. So these seven dancers were in seven different groups.
Traveling.
So they all were chanting and dancing with Mirzanga playing. Each group had it is its own team.
Travis.
Of his chanters, pridhanga players, etc. 10.61 as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu walked from one group to another inspecting them, the man in each group thought the Lord is within our group. Somehow Lord Krishna when he took picnic with the cowherd boys in Vrindavan, his.
Boy was thinking that Lord Krishna was looking at me.
Each boy was thinking that Lord Krishna is looking at me.
He had this mystic power he had this mystic power that everyone was thinking about Krishna.
So everyone was thinking that Krishna looks.
At me and that Lord Chaitanya he walked to the different groups. His group thought Lord Chaitanya.
So when Lord Caitanya he walked to the different groups, each group thought that he is in my group. R. Chaitanya charita Amrita Anthyalila 10.62 Maha Shankirtan Dhoni Shankirtan Kola Vedilo the congregational chanting made a tumultuous roar that filled the sky. All the inhabitants of Jagannath Puri came to see the kirtan.
Build the whole atmosphere in the holy Name.
Lord Chaitanya's seven groups doing the Sankirtan fill the atmosphere with the holy name.
I'm just attracted all the female.
And this attracted all the people in Jagannath Puri to come and watch Tali Choriya accompanied by his personal stuff. The king also came there and watched from a distance. And all the queens watched from the elevated parts of the palace. The queens didn't mix with the people. They were on the roof of the.
Palace and they were watching.
But they were watching the Keerta Rudra.
Although he was the monarch, his house and palace was relatively small.
Although King Prataprutra he was the monarch, his house, his palace was relatively small compared to the large temple of Lord Jagannath. Due to the forceful vibration of Kirtan, the entire world began trembling. When everyone chanted the holy name, they made a tumultuous sound. In this way the Lord had congregational chanting performed for some time. And then he himself desired to dance.
Desire to dance and someone likes.
So when the When Lord Chaitanya desires to dance, it is something very special. The seven groups began chanting and beating their drums in seven directions. And Shri Caitanya Mahprabhu began dancing in the center in great ecstatic love. This display of Sankirtan with seven groups and Lord Chaitanya dancing in the center. That something attracted all the people. This started to chant Haribol Haribol Haribol Chaitanya Mahaprabhu remembered a line in the Orishan language and ordered Swaroop Damodar to sing it. Each place have their own Kirtan melodies and mantras. Similarly, there were special songs glorifying Lord Krishna which was in the Orison language. 10.68 Jatha padam jaga mohana purimunda jha let my hate fall at the feet of Jagannath in the kirtan hall known as Jogamohan. Great Devotion the Orient devotees devotees from Orissa had great devotion for Lord Jagannath. So this song in the Orient language displays one's complete surrender to Lord Jagannath. 10.69 Simply because of this line. T. Caitanya Mahaprabhu was dancing in greatly ecstatic love. People around him floated in the water of his tears. In the Shastra, it is said, preach according to time, place and circumstance.
Like chanting a line, an oriental language.
By chanting a line in the Orient language, Dancing ecstasy and dancing in ecstasy.
Naturally, all the people of Orissa would be highly Honorable.
Naturally, all the people of Orissa would be highly motivated. Raising his two arms, the Lord said chant, chant bolo bolo. Floating in transcendental bliss. The people responded by chanting the holy name of Hari. 10.71 the Lord fell to the ground unconscious, not even breathing. Then he suddenly stood up, making a loud sound. 10.7 the hairs on his body constantly stood up like the thorns on simul tree. Sometimes his body is swollen, sometimes lean and thin. So the simul tree has thorns on it.
And Lord Chaitanya's hairs are standing up like signs on a simul tree.
Lord Chaitanya's hairs were standing up like thorns in the simul tree.
Sometimes he become very solid.
Sometimes it'll become very swollen. Sometimes it'll become very thin. He bled and perspired from every pore of his body. His voice faltered, unable to say the line properly. He uttered only jaja gaga pari mumu. Instead of Jagannath, Lord Chaitanya was saying jaja gugu.
So I just. Her voice was completely immortal.
Like this. His voice was completely muffled in ecstasy. 10.74 his teeth shook as each was separate from the others. Indeed they seemed about to fall to the ground. Lord Chaitanya's ecstatic symptoms were incomparable.
His teeth appeared like they're gonna fall out.
Even his teeth appear like they are going to fall off.
And he was. Different times I started symptoms.
He was having different kinds of ecstatic symptoms you'd never seen before, which was never seen before. 10.75 his transcendental bliss increased at every moment. Therefore, even by mid afternoon, the dancing had not ended.
On an external world.
Lord Caitanya was not conscious of the external world.
He was fully conscious of Ka. He was in the whole ecstasy.
So he was fully conscious of Krishna and he was full of ecstasy. The ocean of transcendental bliss overflowed and everyone present for God, his body, mind and home. Normally people are very attached to the.
Body home and their mental thoughts.
And their mental thoughts.
But here, Lord Satania, not everyone saw once absorbed in the kirta and forgot everything else.
So here with Lord Chaitanya, everyone was much absorbed in the kirtan. Therefore they forgot everything else. 10.77 Then Lord Nithyananda found a way to end the kirtan. He gradually stopped all the chanters.
Was concerned with all the devotees.
So Lord Nithyananda was concerned about all the devotees that they could not keep chanting and dancing so long to the afternoon. So he came out with a strategy to stop the kirtan 10.78 only one group continued chanting with Swaroop Damodar and they chanted very softly. When Prabhupada was in Vrindavan during his final pastimes, he asked the devotees to chant very softly. Shichaitanu charitamrita antilila 10.79 when there was no longer a tumultuous sound, Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu returned to the external consciousness. Then Nithyananda Prabhu informed him of the fatigue of the chanters and dancers. So all these chanters they could not keep up with the ecstasy of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Nithyananda Prabhu informed Lord Chaitanya of these chanters fatigue. Understanding the fatigue of the devotees, Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu stop the congregational chanting. Then he bathed in the sea accompanied by them all.
Is just next to the Bay of Bengal.
Jagannath Puri is just next to the Bay of Bengal. It took all the devotees to bathe there in the sea. Then Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu took prasadam with all of them and then asked them to return to their dwellings and to take rest. Bye.
I want that need to eat or rest. There's no time like you know.
So in the spiritual world one doesn't need to eat or rest. There is no time like the material world.
And one has a spiritual body which does not get fatigued by this.
One has a spiritual body which does not give fatigue like the material body.
So actually Lord Chaitanya has a totally spiritual body.
Actually Lord Chaitanya has a totally spiritual body. So Lord Tyananda reminded him that the devotees were having the material bodies were feeling tired. Thus ends the chapter entitled All Encompassing Sankirtan under the section Teach Chaitanya Mahaprabhu accepts Prasadam from his devotees. So as Mahaprabhu requested all the devotees to return back to their dwellings. So we are also requesting.
