A December 16, 2023 YouTube recording of a spiritual discourse (Avatāra mahimā part 3) led by speakers from Jaya Pataka Swami's community. The group continues commentary on Sh Chaianya Chandram, chapter 10 ("Glory of Gaurāvatār"), describing how Lord Chaitanya's sankīrtana awakened spontaneous devotional moods, replaced other spiritual practices, and produced ecstatic symptoms (tears, hairs standing). The speakers distinguish genuine ecstasy from imitation and advise discretion. The program also includes a short shelter (initiation) ceremony for three candidates, blessings, a cake offering from Atul Prabhu, community announcements about book distribution (physical book table, donations by Krishna Katha team), and encouragement to participate in outreach and prayers for Guru Maharaj's recovery.

Translation When Shri Caitanya Chandra has found the supreme path of spontaneous devotional service, the Raga Nuga Bhajan Marga, persons absorbed in material sense pleasure have given up the ordinary talks of common men related to maintenance and protection of wife and children. The panditas have given up arguments and counter arguments related to scriptures. The best of the yogis have completely given up hardships while practicing the stoppage of inhaling and exhaling Prana Vayu by Pranayama and Kumbhaka. Those who execute austerities by giving up, by given up have given up the auspices practicing to become merged into the existence of the Absolute Brahman have given up these practices. Then other than the mellow of devotional service, there was no other type of mellow seen in this seen in the world.
I must say very attached to that particular activities.
So people are naturally attached to their particular activity. The Yogis Grahastas like that.

Activities and awakens their attachment love for.
Lord Chaitanya that awakens their attachment, their love for Lord Caitanya. Lord Chaitanya is giving this highest of all mellows.
Actually Lord Chaitanya is known as Rasa Shekhar.
He is the source of all transcendental relationships.
He is the source of all transcendental relationships. So naturally people, when they achieve by Lord Caitanya's mercy Krishna Consciousness and they'll give up their attachments to other things.
But in the past times of Lord Caitanya we see that most of his followers were Grihastis.
But in the pastimes of Lord Caitanya we see that most of his followers were Grihastas.
And he told them all right for their families.
And he told them to go back to their families and chant Hare Krishna. He told them to go back to their families and chant Hare Krishna. Next verse, verse number 114.

World and that's where it feel.
And naturally people would feel transcendental emotions.
Hairs would stand on end.
It's described here that their hairs would stand on end, their crying would come in their eyes. There'd be various symptoms of love manifest.
This is a common thing.
So this is a common thing to those devotees who chant the holy names.
Well, I was little started to imitate and pray as if they were feeling ecstasy even when they're not.
