The Bodily Transformations of Lord Chuchitanyamahapagore Namoshan Kirtan.
All the devotees began to chant the Hare Krishna Mantra very loudly in.
The Lord's ear and after a considerable.
Time Sri Caitani Mahaprabhu regained consciousness. Chapter 1721 when he regained consciousness, his arms and legs came out of his body and his whole body returned to normal.
Previously Lord Chaitanya's body was like a tortoise.
His arms and legs and entered into his body back and forth only.
And.
His arms and legs had entered into his body just like a tortoise and.
Only a small portion were outright Until Leela chapter 17, text 22 stood up and then sat down again. Looking here and there he inquired from Surabdhamuda, where have you brought me.
Out on the ecstasy?
And Lord Jatana was somewhat out of his ecstasy.
He made a calf in the pleasant world of health and that his body was in I wouldn't think so.
So he would be half in the present world and half what he was in in his meditation. So he's asking Surah Dhammada, what have you brought me?
Sri Chaitana Charaitamarka in Tabila chapter 17 takes 23 after hearing the vibration of your flute, I went to Vrindavan and there I saw that Krishna, the son of Maharaj Nanda was playing on his flute in the pasturing grounds he will.
See these things.
So Lord Chaitanya, in his ecstatic love for Krishna, he would see these things in his vision.
Sri Caitanya Charitamita until Leela chapter 1724 he brought Shamati Radharani to a bower by signaling with his flute. Then he entered within that bower to.
Perform pastimes with her.
Mars.
Shubindhavan is the Bhavaj in which Krishna and Radha would have their pastimes.
I entered the bower just behind Krishna. My ear is captivated by the sound of his ornaments. I saw Krishna and the Gopis enjoying all kinds of pastimes while laughing and joking together. Hearing their vocal expressions enhanced the joy of my ears.
Allah can come by witnessing his heart, signs, feelings, feeling transcendental ecstasy.
So Lord Chaitanya, while witnessing these pastimes, he was feeling transcendental ecstasy ecstasy.
Just then all of you made a tumultuous sound and brought me back here by force.
So.
Lord Chaitanya Father devotees doing kirtan brought him back to Jagannath Puri.
Chapter 17.
Krishna Dhoni Shravan Panchita Frohur Beloved.
Because he brought me back here, I could no longer hear the nectarian voices of Krishna and the Gopis nor could I hear the sounds of their ornaments or the flute.
So Krishna Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was feeling separation from hearing the transcendental vibrations.
In great ecstasy R. Chaitani Mahaprabhu said to Saurup Dhamadar in a following voice, My ears are dying of thirst. Please recite something to quench this thirst. Let me hear it.
Lord Chaitanya wanted to hear some transcendental vibration.
His ears were hungry to hear his.
Ears were hungry to hear some transcendental vibration.
So he requested Sourup Dhammada to provide that until in chapter 17 text, understanding the ecstatic emotions of Sh Caitanya Mahaprabhu Swaroo Damodar in a sweet voice recited the following verse from Srimad Bhagavatamita Lilla.
The Gopi said, my dear Lord Krishna, where is that woman within the three worlds? Who would not be captivated by the rhythms of the sweet songs coming from your wonderful flute? Who would not fall down from the path of chastity in this way your beauty is the most sublime within the three worlds. Upon seeing your beauty, even cows, birds, animals and trees in the forest are stunned in jubilation. This verse is From Srimad Bhagavatam 10:29.
40 May all these are great Lord Fish are beauty and his oh yes.
The Gopis are praising Lord Krishna's beauty and melodious footplane.
And how it attracts the light of everyone and how it.
R Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, the Gopis entered the arena of the Rasa dance in ecstasy. But after hearing Krishna's words of negligence and detachment, they understood that he was going to renounce them. Thus they began to chastise him in anger.
Krishna would assume they were moods.
Krishna would assume different moods, work kinds of anxiety and put the Gopis in.
Different kinds of anxiety.
Chapter 17 Text 34 oh dear lover, they said, please answer just one question. Who among all the youthful women within this universe is not attracted by the sound of your flute?
Since Krishna is the absolute Truth.
With.
His flute a sound that attracts the.
Lions, he can produce with his flute.
A sound that attracts the minds.
The Gopis are chastising the Lord.
So the Gopis are chastising the Lord that he attracts them and then he is renouncing them.
It's not fair.
It's not fair.
Chapter 17 when you play your flute, the vibration acts like a messenger in the form of a Yogini, perfect in the art of chanting mantras. This messenger enchants all the women in the universe and attracts them to you. Then she increases their great anxiety and induces them to give up the regulated principle of obeying superiors. Finally she forcibly brings them to you to surrender in amorous love.
The Holis are complaining to the tactic of Krishna.
So the bodies are complaining to the tactic of Ka.
That its flute plane.
Forcibly brings the Gopis to Kaetana.
The vibration of your flute accompanied by your glance which pierces us forcibly with the arrows of lust, induces us to ignore the regulated principles of religious life. Thus we become excited by lusty desires and come to you giving up all shame and fear. But now you are angry with us. You are finding fault with our violating religious principles and leaving our homes and husbands. And as you instruct us about religious principles, we become helpless.
So the Gopis are explaining what is happening to them.
Chapter 17 we know that this is all a well planned trick. You know how to make jokes that cause the complete annihilation of women. But we can understand that your real mind, words and behavior are different. Therefore, please give up all these clever tricks.
Krishna loves pride of saints detached.
So Ka does various things to test.
His devotees and also to experience different.
Kinds of ecstasies and also to experience.
Different kinds of ecstasies.
Please give up these tricks.
So they are asking him to please give up these tricks.
The nectarian buttermilk of your flute's vibration, the nectar of your sweet words and the nectarian sound of your ornaments mix together to attract our ears, minds and lives. In this way you are killing us.
So as we have discussed, there are five types of principal Rasas, Neutral, Sankaras, neutral and friendship with respect.
So these three emotions are exhibited in Vaikuntha.
Friendship.
And in Goloka Vrindavan there is friendship, very familiar. Parental love.
Appropriate births.
So people take appropriate births in appropriate forms to engage in different relationships with Krishna. And those who take the form of young Gopis come to engage in Madhuriya Rasa with the Lord.
Of describing how Krishna tries their minds.
Now they are describing how Krishna tracks their mind.
When they call you out or leave it, he talks in a resentful way.
And when they come giving up everything, then he is. He talks to them in a neglectful way. And therefore they feel that he is killing them.
Caitani Mahapramu spoke these words in a mood of anger. As he floated on waves of ecstatic love merged in an ocean of anxiety, he recited a verse spoken by Shrimati Radharani, expressing the same emotion. Then he personally explained the verse and thus tasted the sweetness of Krishna. Overwhelmed with the ecstasy of the Gopis, Lord Caitanya speaks about the flute and. And go on Cupid under this section. The transcendental madness.
Okay, the chapter's ended. We want.
The position of the excited love for Red Arani.
He took the position of the ecstatic love coming from Rabbitan love.
And thus he was realizing the incomparable beauty of Lord Krishna.
Devotees.
Particular devotees, see the Lord in different ways.
Parents will see Krishna in another way.
The friends will see Krishna in one way, the parents will see Krishna in another way.
Krishna following and the Gopis will see.
Krishna in one way.
I would say see Krishna a holy too.
And in this way one will see Krishna appropriately in their relationship to Krishna.
On many poets and authors I like to compare a few things that material are curious.
So mundane poets and authors like to compare these things to material activities.
Actually.
These are completely transcendental.
But actually these are completely transcendental and.
Circumstances.
And Krishna creates certain experiences to enhance different emotions. Hare Krishna.
