This YouTube video (recorded July 9, 2023 in Śrī Māyāpur; uploaded Oct 23, 2023) is a spiritual discourse led by Swarup Damodar based on a Sri Krishna Chaitanya compilation presented by His Holiness Jayapataka Swami. The main narrative retells a chapter titled "The fisherman awakens his Dormant Love of Krishna by touching Lord Chaitanya," recounting how a fisherman pulls what he believes is a corpse from the sea, touches it, and—mistaking Lord Chaitanya’s ecstatic form for a ghost—experiences intense devotional symptoms (hair standing on end, voice choking, tears, chanting). The speaker explains these as signs of ecstatic love of Godhead and clarifies that the fisherman had actually rescued Lord Chaitanya. The video ends with promotional material for the Lava Mantra app and the BBT India digital library (access to Srila Prabhupada’s books and audio).

Guru Maharaj's message is your address Advantage the following is a Sri Krishna Chaitanya book compilation given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on July 9, 2023 in Sri Mayapur.
Hare Krishna Dear devotees, today Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna. Today we will continue with the compilation of the Sri Krishna Chaitanya book. Today's chapter is entitled the fisherman awakens his Dormant Love of Krishna by touching Lord Chaitanya. Another section, Rescuing the Lord from the Sea. Passing along the beach, they saw a fisherman approaching with his net over his shoulder. Laughing, crying, dancing and singing. He kept repeating the holy name.
This was very unusual.
So this was very unusual.
That the fisherman is laughing, crying, dancing, singing.
That the fisherman is laughing, crying, dancing, singing.
And he's always chanting the name Hari.
Hari.
Hari, Hari, Hari, Hari, Hari, Hari, Hari.
And he's always chanting the holy name. Hari, Hari, Hari Hari. What's the secret? Why is he chanting? Dancing, dancing, singing. Sri Chaitanya Chaitamila 18.45 Jaliyah Chesta De Ki Shawar Chamotkar Swaru Goshaytare Puchena Shamacha Seeing the activities of the fisherman, everyone was astonished. So Ruddamodar Goswami therefore asked him for information.
So Surabamara honestly suspected someone.
Swaroop Damodar obviously suspected something.
He asked information from the human.
So he asked for the information from the fisherman.
Why he was acting in this strange way?
Why he is acting in this strange way? 18.46 My dear fisherman, he said, why are you behaving like this? Have you seen someone hereabouts? What is the cause of your behavior? Please tell us.
So.
Dharma addressed the Fajran with great respect.
So Saurabh Damodar addressed the fisherman with great respect.
Why has he doing all these things?
Why has he doing all and asking why is he doing all these things?
Maybe he touched Lord Chaitanya.
Maybe he touched Lord Chaitanya. Maybe he saw Lord Chaitanya. Why? Actually he saw it. Sri Chaitanya 18.47 the fisherman replied, I have not seen a single person here. But while casting my net in the water, I captured a dead body.
So it shot. They captured a dead body.
He thought that he has captured a deep body. I lifted it with great care thinking it a big fish. But as soon as I saw that it was a corpse great fear arose in my mind.
Actually he appeared wrong. My thought was Touching a corpse.
So naturally he became fearful when he saw he was catching a corpse. And he became very fearful. As I try to release the net, I touch the body. As soon as I touched it, a ghost entered my heart.
So kind of relaxed or not.
So trying to release the net from the corpse. From the corpse.
He touched the corpse.
He touched the corpse.
He thought a ghost entered his body.
He thought the ghost had entered his body.
Because he was feeling great love for Krishna.
Because he was feeling great love for Krishna.
A ghost enters her body. You can't be chanting Hari, Hari.
If a ghost enters your body, you can't be chanting Hari Hari. Let's go on. Gadav Gadavanimo Ruthila Shaka. I shivered in fear and shed tears. My voice faltered and all the hairs on my body stood up. So.
All these are symptoms.
So all these are symptoms of Asta Satvika Bhav Ecstatic love of Godhead. Being fearful, he was afraid of this symptom.
Otherwise hair standing on, voice shutting on.
Otherwise hair standing on end, voice choking up. These are symptoms of love of Godhead. Shri Chaitanya chaita Mitha Anthya Leela 18.51 I do not know whether the corpse I found was a ghost of a dead Brahmana or an ordinary man. But as soon as one looks upon it, the ghost enters his body. 18.52 the body of this ghost is very long, five to seven cubits. Each of its arms and legs is as much as three cubits long.
A cubit is like a foot in the hand.
A cubit is like a food and a half.
So Lord Chaitanya he was ecstasy.
So Lord Chaitanya he would in his.
Ecstasy sometimes all the body would become elongated.
Sometimes the body would become elongated and.
The arms just held the other are skin.
The arms are held together by the skin and would look in this amazing form. Wasn't this amazing? 18.53 Its joints are all separated beneath the skin which is completely slack. No one could see him and remain alive in his body. So the fisherman, by seeing Lord Chaitanya in this state he has become very frightened.
He was simultaneously experiencing external all of his time.
But he was simultaneously experiencing ecstatic love for Krishna. 18.54 that ghost has taken the form of a corpse. But he keeps his eyes open. Sometimes he utters the sounds and sometimes he remains unconscious.
He would make garrowing sounds.
So Lord Chaitan and his ecstasy used to make this gargling tongue in his throat.
This one thought this is a ghost.
The fisherman thought this is a ghost. 18.55 I have seen that ghost directly and is haunting me. But if I die, who will take care of my wife and children?
Ghost that he had seen so he.
Is very afraid of this ghost that.
He had seen and not he is afraid that he may he dies will take care of his family.
He is afraid that if he dies, who will take care of his family. 18.57 this is the ghost is certainly very difficult to talk about. But I'm going to find exorcist and ask him if he can release me from it.
Saved by exorcist so he is thinking.
That he maybe can be saved by an exorcist. I wander alone at night killing fish in solitary places. But because I remember the hymn to Lord Nirsinghe Ghost do not touch me Narasimha Mantra so he was chanting Narasimha.
Mantra and thus it is affected to all kind of.
So thus he will be protected from all kinds of girls. Shri Caitanya Charitamrita Antialila 18.58 this ghost however overcomes me with redoubled strength. When I chant the Na Mantra. When I even see the form of this ghost, great fear arises in my mind.
And then it started.
This fisherman, after touching Lord Chaitanya in.
His ecstatic transformation was experiencing all kinds of ecstatic symptoms.
He was experiencing all kinds of ecstatic symptoms. And when he chanted the name of.
Nishikadev lot of symptoms in case too hold there.
Those symptoms increased twofold in him.
Because he's chanting the name of Lakshmi.
Because he's chanting the name of Yeshiva.
To stop naturally increases his ecstatic love.
For Krishna naturally increases. Shri Chaitanya chaita mita anthelila. 18.59 what? Without fear the fisherman will now experience the ecstatic love. But without fear. Swarup Damodar said to the fisherman, My dear sir, the person you are thinking is a ghost is not actually a ghost but is the supreme personality of God Hate. Because of ecstatic lungs, the Lord fell into the sea and you have caught him in your net and rescued him. Sam.
Understood that actually.
So Swarup Dhammadar understood the fisherman. He had actually rescued Lord Chaitanya who.
Was a very unusual state of pure external love.
Who was in a very unusual state of pure ecstatic love. 18.65 Simply touching him has awakened your dominant love of Krishna. But because you thought him a ghost, you were very much afraid of him. Message from the BBT's trustee, His Holiness Jayapataka Swami.
