Krishna Katha at Advaita Acarya's Residence, Shantipur, India
Today we went to Shantipur, Srila Advaita Acarya's residence. Here Gurudeva gave the following Katha - Mahaprabhu's body would get distorted sometimes due to ecstasy. He sometimes broke out of the Gambhira and He ended up in the ocean floating towards Surya Kund. Later on devotees were able to find him thanks to the fisherman who was coming on the beach. Fisherman was in an ecstatic state. Sometimes Lord's body would elongate, sometime shrink but it was all due to ecstasy of the Lord in separation from Krsna.
Mahaprabhu wanted to go to Vrindavan right after Sanyas, He wanted to go wholeheartedly behind his Lord. He went to the banks of Ganga and the cowherd boys said loudly HARI HARI. Mahaprabhu said keep chanting Hari Hari. Mahaprabhu then followed the Ganga and arrived at Shantipur and Mahaprabhu thought it was the Yamuna and in his ecstasy took bath there. Chandrashekar went to Adwaita Acharya and said Mahaprabhu is here and He needs new clothes. Mahaprabhu when He saw Adwaita Acharya He said how come you are here and then He realized Nityananda prabhu had cheated Him. Then Adwaita said actually not cheated as Yamuna flows underground here and whereever you are Yamuna is there.
Then Adwaita Acharya and his wife offered very nice food for Mahaprabhu and whatever Mahaprabhu ate, Adwaita Acharya would keep filling it up. Nityananda prabhu was also here and He said I've been fasting for 3 days and there is nothing here and that was the beautiful relationship between Nityananda prabhu and Adwaita Acharya. You are a reject parmahansa that you want to only eat and you are not a true sanyasi. Then Nityananda prabhu threw rice and that was very beautiful sight. As Grahastas SP said we should all go out and call if anyone is hungry before we honor prasadam.
This is also the famous place where Adwaita prabhu called Mahaprabhu. This is the true method to call out to Krsna, with prayers and the HK Mahamantra. Just as Jiv Jago song also says just sincerely pray to Krsna.
All paintings in ISKCON were according to the shastra, in the early days of ISKCON, no one knew what is a Shaligrama shila. So SP himself sketched it out and SP knew as he had himself visited Shantipur. Many of our ISKCON paintings are due to SP's connection with the spiritual world.
He received initiation from Madhavendrapuri. The breeze from erstwhile Gange is also very purifying. Adwaita Acharya is our patron saint and invited the Lord to come to help us take us back home back to Godhead.
Adwaita Acharya very important relationship with Mahaprabhu. Adwaita Acharya is incarnation of Mahavishnu and Sadashiva. The gateway of all incarnations into the material world is Mahavishnu. They are externally existing but he ushers them into the world. Adwaita Acharya calling Mahaprabhu is indicative of this. He also said you have done your work. Mahaprabhu came for understanding the love of Radharani for Him.
Esoteric pastime - Adwaita sends a note to Mahaprabhu in Puri, there is enough rice in the marketplace. After Mahaprabhu had finished the external reasons which was the Yuga dharma and now it was time for internal reasons. Yuga Dharma has been established, just after that Mahaprabhu said my master has spoken and only Swaroop Damodar understood and just after that Mahaprabhu's mood completely changed and he went into the Gambhira and with Swaroop Damodar and Ramananda Raya would sing the songs to evoke the mood of Mahaprabhu. Mad insane lilas.
Adwaita Acharya calls Him and then says now you have completed external moods and now it's now to go into internal mood.
SP said, I've written these books not for just selling but also for you to read the books and become pure devotees and Go back Home back to Godhead. Like Rice and Daal Kitchadi 42% more nutrition.
Rajendranandana Prabhu
All associates of Navadwip are here at Shantipur. They all came here, it's a very auspicious place. At that time, there were many many huts and godowns of rice and vegetables and Mahaprabhu glorified Adwaita Acharya as Siva and only he could manifest all of this. Adwaita treated Mahaprabhu even though older always paid obeisances to Mahaprabhu. He wanted to only serve his Lord. How to show Mahaprabhu is the Lord and Adwaita Acharya is the servant. How? Adwaita started preaching Mayavad philosophy and made Mahaprabhu chastised him and beat him so he could show who is the Lord and who is the servant. Then Adwata said loudly, you are the Lord and I'm just the Lord's servant.
Adwaita Acharya once was dancing in the mood of separation as a Gopi and then Mahaprabhu came running to see Adwaita and asked what can I do. Mahaprabhu then saw the entire universal form just like BG Chapter 11. Nityananda prabhu came running and banged the door and said let me in I also want to see the Universal form. These inconceivable moods and ecstasies of the Lord no one can understand.
One important point to consider - never criticize devotees. Mahaprabhu says if someone commits aparadh to devotees to Krsna and chants my name, it's like burning cinders on my body. If anybody commits an offence then it destroys the devotional practice of the person.
Also, never waste a moment of your time. Whatever time you have do it for the pleasure of Krsna. Every act you do it for Krsna, take advantage of time.
Then we sang the beautiful and important song - Kali Kukkura by BVT:

1) If you want to be rid of the influence of the dog-like personality of kali, then just sing the glories of the beautiful Son of Mother Saci (Sacinandana). He is the Savior of the kali-yuga (Kaliyuga Pavana), and He is (Kali-bhay-nasana), the destroyer of all fear caused
by the age of quarrel.
2) He maddens Sri Gadhadara with His name, (Gadadhara-madana) He is the treasure of the life of Sri Nityananda Prabhu (Nita'yer Prana-dhana), and He is the most worshipable object of Sri Advaita Acarya (Advaiter Prapujita). He is affectionately named Nimai by His mother, due to being born under a Nim tree, and He has been named Visvambhara by His grandfather. He is the only Lord of Sri Srivasa (Srinivas-isvar), and He steals the hearts of all the assembled devotees (Bhakta-samuha-cita-cora).
3) Lord Caitanya is the moon over Nadia (Nadiyasasadhar), the Lord of Sri Mayapura-dhama (Mayapura-isvar), and the divine propogator of His own name (Nama-pravartana Sura). He is the instructor of family men (Grhijana-siksaka), and He is also the hero of those who are in the renounced order (Nyasi-kula-nayaka). He is the husband of the Goddess of Fortune (Madhava), and He is over-flowing with the ecstatic moods and sentiments of Srimati Radharani (Radhabhava-pura).
4) Lord Caitanya is the corrector and purifier of Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya (Sarvabhaumasodhana), and the deliverer of King Prataparudra (Gajapati-tarana), the source of nourishment of Srila Ramananda Raya (Ramananda-posana), and He is a great hero (Vira). He increases the ecstasy of Srila Rupa Gosvami (Rupananda-vardhana), He is the maintainer and protector of Srila Sanatana Gosvami (Sanatana-palana), He gladdens Haridasa Thakura (Haridasa-modana) and He is very grave (Dhira).
5) Lord Caitanya is the source of all the transcendental mellows of Vraja-dhama (Brajarasa Bhavana), He is the destroyer of all mischievous and wicked mentality (Dustamatasatana), and He dissolves the mundane lust of the deceitful insincere souls by His causeless mercy (Kapati Vighatana Kama). He maintains and protects His pure Vaisnava devotees (Suddhabhakta- palana), and He chastises dry speculative knowledge (Suskajnana Tadana). He destroys pretentious and hypocritical devotion (Chalabhakti-dusana), and He is the reservoir of pleasure ( Rama ).
