Chapter 4 "The Beauty of Nitai"

 

Lord Gauranga met Nityananda Raya in the home of Nandanacarya.

Nityananda's beautiful golden-colored body had a slightly reddish hue.

Glistening ornaments adorned His enchanting form. Bright yellow cloth

carressed His hips. A yelloe turban the color of a golden campaka

flower, decorated His head. As He walked, His anklebells chimed sweetly

"Jhuni, Jhuni, Jhuni".

His eyes were wide and long like a deer. He removed the shyness of young

girls with His brilliant, lightning-like smile. His roaring like a lion,

louder than monsoon clouds, sumdued the mad elephants of Kaliyuga.

Lord Nityananda walked with the gait of a maddened elephant. His

peaceful lotus face was beautiful to behold when He cried tears of love.

Absorbed in deep love of Krishna, His body would shiver, perspire, and

erupt all over with ecstatic symptoms.

Holding a golden stick in His hand, He smashed the pride of Kali. Golden

necklaces hung on His chest. Marvelous gem-inlaid earrings dangled on

His cheeks. His hands were reddish like a night-blooming lotus.

Attractive bangles intensified the beauty of His strong, golden arms.

In ecstasy, Nityananda Prabhu, almost falling on the ground, uttered

"Where is My Kanai Gopala [Krsna]?"

Adopting the sentiment of a cowherd boy, Nityananda cried, laughed, and

begged Revati for some honey. At one moment, He jumped like a frog. The

next moment He acted dumb and speechless, or said something

unintelligible. Who can understand the Lord's transcendental mellows?

The sweet aroma of Nityananda's body stole the housewives from their,

and crushed to dust the pride of chaste girls.

 

Sri Nitaichandra Ki Jaya!!!!

All glories to Sri Avadhuta Raya the son of Rohini Devi, who is

non-different of Lord Gaurahari.
