Guest guest Posted June 13, 2005 Report Share Posted June 13, 2005 On His journey to Jagannatha Puri, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was accompanied by Nityananda Prabhu, Gadadhara, Mukunda, Govinda, Jagadananda and Brahmananda. To teach everyone about faith in Lord, Gauranga asked His followers if anyone had brought any food. Caitanya Bhagavata Antya-khanda 2. 40-47. "I am greatly satisfied that none of you took anything from anyone. If you are destined to receive some eatables, you will certainly obtain them, even if you are in the forest. If the Supreme Lord does not set aside food for a person, he will not eat, even if he is the son of a king. Without the Lord`s sanction one may not be able to eat even if there is food, for he may suddenly quarrel with someone. In an angry mood, he may say - I will not eat today -. He may even touch his hand to his head and swear to that effect. Otherwise one may have all varieties of eatables, but he may suddenly be afflicted by fever. How can he eat while suffering the pain of fever? Therefore the will of the Supreme Lord prevails. Krsna has supplied food for the three worlds. If He desires, one will certainly obtain it."
