Vrndavan

In the beginning one should very regularly chantSri Gaurasundara’s holy name and then chant theholy name of Lord Nityananda. Thus one’s heartwill be cleansed of impure desires for materialenjoyment. Then one can approach Vrndavana toworship Lord Krishna. Unless one is favored byLord Caitanya and Nityananda, there is no need togo to Vrndavana, for unless one’s mind is purified,he cannot see Vrndavana, even if he goes there.Adi 8

This transcendental Vrndavan is not appreciatedby those who are not devotees or self-realizedsouls because this Vrndavana-dhama is allspiritual.

“I belong to a community of cowherdboys, and therefore I generally have manycowherd associates with Me. I am happywhen we eat together in a picnic like thisby the sandy bank of the river.”

Lord Nityananda sat on theraised platform with hisassociates & the 7 pots

From each and every pot, Lord Nityananda Prabhu took one morsel of chipped rice and pushed it into the mouth of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu as a joke. Sri Caitanya

Mahaprabhu, also smiling, took amorsel of food, pushed it into the mouthof Nityananda and laughed as He madeLord Nityananda eat it.

“My dear Raghunatha dasa since you arranged thefeast on the bank of the Ganges, Sri CaitanyaMahaprabhu came here just to show you His

mercy.”

Take those two men to My house and I willperform kirtana with them. I will give themtoday what is rarely accessible to even LordBrahma.

I will convert these two men into top classdevotees who will become famous all over theworld. I will change the opinions of those whoused to bathe in the holy waters of the Gangesafter they contacted Jagai and Madhai.

From now they willconsider that Jagaiand Madhai’sassociation is asgood as theassociation ofGangadevi herself.This wasNityananda’sdesire.Nityananda’spromise can nevergo in vain.
