The class begins with a reading from the Srimad Bhagavatam 3rd Canto chapter 17 verse.

Shri Caitanya Ishwaram.

So Lord Chaitanya, wherever the Sagittarius came down in this.

Kali Yuga so Lord Chaitanya with his associates came down in this Kali Yuga.

And he was giving out what no one had done before.

And he was giving out what no one has ever done before. He was giving pure love for Krishna.

I don't need a time I ever done this.

Never before in time has anyone ever done this.

So we are very fortunate.

We are very fortunate to be appearing just after Lord Chaitanya.

Krishna Purani Actor Udritiroh J. College of Shurohawar Pachajar Vatsharpur Actor Bishesh Juk Shomai Abiruhabe in Brahma Vaibhattapuran it is stated that after the start, the beginning of Kali Yuga after 5000 years of Kali Yoga started then there will be a special golden era which will last for another 10,000 years. Lord Chaitanya appeared after 4,500 years of the Kolijug has begun. But Shri Prabhupada appeared after 5000 years.

So now is the time for the golden age to start.

So now is the time for the golden age to start.

How Radharani was carrying on the boat and then is the game who was playing on good so nicely.

We heard how Srimati Radharani was playing on her flute and Krishna came out to see who is playing on the flute so nicely.

Such a nice time for me.

So Krishna said to her that you have made such a nice dham for me and this Dham will be non different from Vrindavan.

Oh he heard how Radharani Krishna.

So we heard how Radharani and Krishna combined.

In this way. They combined and took the form of Lord Caitanya.

How today is the disappearance day. How Allah ran it.

So today is the disappearance day of Gadadhar Pandit. So Srimati Radharani in her appearance as Gadadar Pandit it is her disappearance. Gadadar Pandit's parents lived a couple of doors away from Lord Chaitanya's very close.

Such mother like her sister Allah Mothers father who live close to Satyanada.

Gadadar Pandit's mother's mother lived close to Sachimata. Gadada Prabhu's mother lived close to father. Gadada Prabhu's father lived close to Sachim.

And.

She started Sachimata like her as her sister.

She he or she accepted Sachimata as her sister.

My mother accepted Sachinhaja as her sister.

So the mother accepted Sachi Mata as her sister.

And as a child play together.

And as a child Gadadar and Lord Caitanya would play together.

Lord Chaitanya grew up. When he became known as.

Lord Caitanya grew up he became known as Nimai Pandit.

And so then?

So then when Gadadar would see him, he would walk the other. Because he didn't like this debating Sanskrit grammar and other things.

Lord Chetan said come here, come here. But Gadadar would take the another way.

At that time Gadadar did not appreciate argumentative Leela. Then Lord Chaitanya went to Gaya, did Pindi for his father and then took.

Initiation from Ishwarapuri Tarpon Bihare. I say that Lord Chaitanya has manifested his devotional ecstasy in Bihar.

He gave that to the goal. And he was changed.

So he came back to Bengal. He was changed. So when Lord Chaitanya came back to Navadvip, Shuklambar, Brahmachari he had a hut on the bank of the Ganges. And Lord Caitanya called all the devotees there.

Oh.

And all Dhana call out to Galada.

Then at that place Lord Chaitanya called out to Gadadh.

To me. Janmotheke Bhaktohech. You are devotee from sincere birth.

I was very sinful.

But I was very sinful. I wasted my life. But you are always worshipping Krishna like this. He was glorifying.

In this way. There were so many pastimes between these two personalities Prabhodiya Chand that he was controlled. So in this way. Mother Sachi only heard that how Gadadar Pandit was pacifying Lord Chaitanya. And Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was controlled.

So she Sajin Radha asked another prophet. I want to stay with Lord Chaitanya Mahavi Israel. You know how to speak to him in his exercises.

So Sachimatha requested Gadadar Pandit that you always stay with him. You know how to deal with him when he has these ecstasies.

Was constant associate of Lord Chaitanya during his devotional period endowed it.

So Gadadar Pandit was a constant associate of Lord Caitanya during his devotional period in Navadvip.

Our leaders Shivajar High lost other.

When Lord Chaitanya took out the massive Sankirtan party to Lord Chaitanya the leaders were Shivas Thakur, Haridas Thakur, Advaita Acharya.

On the fourth group, Shaitan Mahaprabhu was leading the kitten accompanied by Sri Gadhar Pandit in one side and Nithyananda Prabhupada on the other side.

Like this Lala Rana was a constant.

Like this Gadadar Pandit was a constant companion of Lord Chaitanya Radharani. She would always disagree with Krishna. Disagree.

She extends herself as have Many and Dharga and she is very submissive to Ka When Krishna Radharani begins and Radha.

So when Krishna is present in Dwaraka Radharani expands herself as Rukmini and becomes very submissive. So when Lord Chaitanya came, Radharani expanded as Gadhadar and became submissive. So when Lord Caitanya was in Jagannath Puri Gadhadar went there also. Lord Chaitanya wanted to go to Vrindavan and Gadadar started to follow him. When Lord Chaitanya reached the edge of so then he reminded Gadhadar Pundit of his vow that as Kshetra Sanyasi he is supposed to stay in Sri Ketra.

He loved Shri Kacha.

But then he left Sri Kshetra and Gadadar followed him. So then Lord Chaitanya said, you have proven your point. You broke your vow to follow me. Then Lord Chaitanya ordered him to go back.

He has your Lord.
