Guest guest Posted March 3, 1999 Report Share Posted March 3, 1999 Lord Caitanya is showing the example of a sannyasi and eats only what is needed to keep body and soul together to set the example for all sannyasis.As He showed in the house of Advaita Acarya,a sannyasi should not eat to just satisfie his tongue,and eat all kinds of fancy foodstuffs and sweets.Lord Caitanya mostly always avoided the sweets offered to Jagannatha etc,to show us the proper example. Sometimes He ate like Krsna ,ad He is the Supreme.Like the time when Govinda his servant kept all the food given to Lord Caitanya.Later He ate it all at once except for the prasadam of Raghava Pandita. When Ramachandra Puri criticised Lord Caitanya for eating to much He reduced His eating,othertime He ignored Ramachandra Puris criticising. He just took the good and taught the devotees not to eat to much or to little. YS Payonidhi das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
