pujya-sri-guru-varga-vandita-mahabhavanvitayah sada "I bow my head in eternal obeisance to my Gurudev, the best of acharyas, Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj. He is the ever vigilant, stalwart guardian of the current of pure devotion whose highest form flows from our most worshippable Sri Rupanuga Guru-varga in their exclusive dedication to Mahabhav, Srimati Radharani."
jaya guru maharaja karuna-sagara Glory to Guru Maharaj, Sri Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj, an ocean of mercy. He manifested the effulgent service of Nitai Chaitanyadev in Nilachal for the benefit of the entire world.
vaisnavera pada-dhuli tahe mora snana-keli "The feet dust of the Vaishnavs is where I sport and take bath, Vaishnavs' name is the water oblation. My mind is intently fixed upon the remnants of Vaishnavs, and I am elated at the name of Vaishnavs."
gangara-parasa ha-ile paschate pavana "If the Ganges touches someone, they are purified some time later; but one becomes purified just by seeing you, O Vaishnava Thakur. Such is your power." |
Arriving in Alalnath
A small temple to the side of Lord Alalnath's temple where the stone melted under Mahaprabhu's body is kept and worshipped.
"There are fifteen days when Jagannath temple is closed. The Jagannath people
say that Jagannath has a fever during this time, but we think that during
these days they are making the temple of Jagannath and all the preparations.
So, they close the temple the day after snan-yatra and open it only
one day before Ratha-yatra. Mahaprabhu cried so much—He goes to the Jagannath
temple every day, but at that time the temple is closed and He cannot go to
see Jagannath, He was very upset. One day, Jagannath Himself told to
Mahaprabhu, "Come to Alarnath, You can see Me there!" So, Mahaprabhu went to
Alarnath. When He came there, He was crying for Jagannath so much that when
He paid dandavat at the Alarnath temple, so much ecstasy came to Him
that even the whole stone melted under His body. You can see that stone there
even now also..."
