This is a spoken lecture explaining the Sri Gaura-arati (Lord Chaitanya's arati) scene and its devotional significance. The speaker describes the assembled attendants (Tadda, Gadagar, Advaita, Shrinivas), celestial devas and Brahma offering arati, and earthly devotees serving with chamars and umbrellas. The chunk includes an anecdote about Narahari Thakur: after his death he is said to have spiritually reappeared seated on his vyasasana during a memorial a year later. The tone is devotional and reverent.
He's on the right side of Burjamin. Just like now. You see, the Tadda is on his right and left side is Gadagar. Then on the far right is Advaita. And Shrinivas is on the other side. And Shrinivas is holding umbrella for the boy. So all the people, they're all visible. This is what's visible. All the glories. They're all engaged in serving the Lord. And Lord Chaitanya. He is sitting on a throne which is decorated with beautiful jewels. The Lord's manifesting himself in this form. And also all the Devas, all the demigods from heavenly planets. They came down to offer Arti to him. It's very hard to find a universal unity. But here everyone is united and serving the Lord. So to be in this special Aarti where Lord Brahma and all the Devas are there offering Aarti. This is something very special. It's a universal also. Our associates of Lord Chaitanya came down from the spiritual world. Different Gopis and different parents of Ka. They took birth in Audibly Da. To be part of Lord Chaitanya's pastimes. So some of these devotees who are present. They are also mentioned here. He is very special devotee. Narohari is Thakur. He was one of the devotees who remained longest on this planet after Lord Chitanga left. And he was like a father figure who would always guide the devotees. And help them to get over any doubts that they had. So he was there during his. He was there after Lord Chaitanya left and took Sannyas. He was there after he left the world to guide him up One year after. When Narahari Kapoor left the world. It was a big shock for all the Vaishnava. He was like the last disciple of what Chaitanya to be the last nature associated. Such a thing will happen one day when there will be the last Prabhupada disciple. Just that kind of thing. It was like the change of a whole generation. So they all gathered together one year later at his residence place. And had a special memorial worship for him. And the most amazing thing happened that morning. When they were all together chanting Cheanandangana. That type of song like separation Sangha. He was missing his association. He appeared even he was dead for a dinner. Like what we would call dead. This of course we know. No one ever dies. But he left his body for one year. He spiritually returned. Sitting on his Vyasa sign for the whole morning. Like a resurrection. So Narahari and so many of his other associates and other devotees. They're all fanning the Lord. So these are devotees who are fanning. If you chamars both give air and they keep away the flies. And I carry the Egyptian flies. Even Germany has flight. So what to speak of India. It's very tropical. So, you know, this fan of people lay all the insects and it looks very beautiful. You see the white chamber standing. So all the devotees are failing the Lord. So it looks very beautiful.
