Cmp 35. Chaitanya With Nityananda

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU Nityananda was still immersed, In his great ecstasy mood, And stood naked without clothes, By then, was found very restless. Chaitanya tried to hold him, And soothingly told him, "Please be quiet now Vyasa-puja you've tomorrow." That night Nityananda roared Like a lion and shouted, Breaking his stick, water pots And again he became restless. They sent for Lord Chaitanya, Who took him to the River Ganga, He chastised Nityananda then, To bring him back to normal soon. A crocodile was there Swimming in the river, Nityananda jumped into water To catch it with no fear. When Chaitanya shouted, He obeyed his command, And came back from water. Thus he was saved from the river. Seeing Chaitanya before him Nityananda garlanded him, And saw the Lord's form Quite different this time. His six-arms held things, Like conch shell, lotus, Club and disc; what a sight! With awe, Nityanada felt. Nitynanda fell unconscious That gave fear to the devotees. To get up, when Chaitanya ordered Nityananda immediately obeyed. Chaitanya told him, "You're, In this world, as a proprietor Of love of God, to propagate The ideal Sankirtan movement." "Unless you distribute love, You can't earn his love! " What a meaningful message, These words give for any age!
