They were crying. They couldn't go before Lord Chaitanya. They considered themselves. They considered themselves true fallen too. Fallen Lord Chaitanyatal. All those devotees who didn't come. And.
He embraced them.
And he embraced them.
Almost four months they stayed in Vienna and stayed in Dharmapuri.
So four months they were. They stayed in Jagannath Puri. From Jagannath Puri he went to Kanai Natshala. From Jagannathuri he went to Kanai Natshala. And there were too many people. He came back and he came back.

Yeah.
Yes. Yes.

Sri Lachitanya went to different places and he picked up six of us on us.
So Lord Chaitanya, he went to different places and he picked up different of his six Goswamis.
Sri Rangam. He was staying at the house in Srirangam.
He was staying in the house of Venkata Bhatta.
Personal service.
And Gopal Veta was doing his personal service to Lord Chaitanya.
How nice. A dear.
So Gopal Bhatta was thinking how nice it would be to see Lord Caitanya with all his devotees in the Navadip Sankirtan. When he saw Lord Chaitanya with his associates, when he was crying out, calling out Go Ranga.
That's it. From the chain.
Lord Goranga came and went with him.
So then he saw how Lord Chaitanya was the supreme personality Raha.
And he saw how Lord Caitanya was the supreme personality of God Hate.
So instructed Him.
And then Lord Chaitanya instructed him to go to Vrindavan. Yeah, it's there. Reading from Shi Chaitanya Sikshamrita of Shla Sachidan and the Bhakti Vena Thakur Continuation qualification to see Lord Krishna only due to bad Samskara reformatory system. These types of rebellion of the pure nature of the living entities happen. Those in whose hearts the greatness of Ka and the beauty of Ka arise. They see the transcendental realm being recovered from their impersonal separatist intelligence or of formulas and so on. As a result of the fortune of the living entities, such unlimited happiness is attained. Unfortunately, an ordinary materialistic intelligence deprived of science cannot extend into the supernatural realm. Even though Krishna is the supreme Lord of Goloka from the unlimited transcendental time. And although along with the Vaja in Goloka he descends, still he exists in his pure, personal, natural variety. In that pure trance Samadhi of the soul, the living entity is aware of all these pastimes of Krishna. It's mentioned in Rmad Bhagavatam 1st Canto, chapter 5, verse number 13. Ahomah Bhagavan Amoghadrik Shushishravasate Satya ratodrita Vritah Urukrama shyaki la bhanda mukta e Samadhi nashrooma tat vishishtitam. O Vyasudeva, your vision is completely perfect. Your good fame is spotless and you are firm in vow and situated in truthfulness. And thus you can think of the pastimes of the Lord in trance for liberation of people in general from all material bondage.
The son of.
So Narada Muni was the son of Lord Brahma.
He was the guru of Vyasadehiv.
And he was the guru of Vyasadev.
He told Vyasadeva to write a similar account.
So he told Vyasadev to write the Srimad Bhagavatam.
Very important.
So the Srinath Bhagavatam is very important for the devotees.
Postgraduates study.
And then the postgraduate studies. Actually.
My brother in the Lord he.
Manifests his pastime in the Rd. Bhagavatam.
Going to withdraw or Rajitan estate sometime and putting the lotus footprints and the places.
So I'm going to go to Vrindavan where Lord Chaitanya stayed for some time. And I'm going to put his lotus footprints in the places that he went. If Krishna allows.
Sat increase thousand times.
When Lord Chaitanya heard about Vrindavan, his ecstasy would multiply would increase a thousand times.
When he rests in Muthura, his ecstasy increased a thousand times. A thousand.
When he was in Mathura, his ecstasy increased a thousand times times into thousand.
It was actually Bandana. It's just sleep would increase a thousand times. I saw because I could see larger timing on his ecstasy.
After seeing. After seeing Lord Chaitanya in his ecstasy, his secretary was worried.
Sometimes maybe he had jumped and he wasn't there. Then no one could say.
Sometimes he might jump into Jamuna. And if he wasn't there, no one could save him.
He requested Lord Chaitanya to leave.
So he requested Lord Chaitanya to leave as how Balabhadra Bhattacharya was worried about Lord Caitanya. All of us are worried about you. Better for you to go and take rest right now. Guru Maharaj.
