The reasons for the Appearance of Lord Caitanya

[Guest guest]

Dear assembled devotees, here we go once again.

 

>>Does Lord Caitanya appear only once?

 

"Now is the term of Vaivasvata Manu, during which Lord Caitanya

appears. First Lord Krsna appears at the close of the Dvapara-yuga of

the twenty-eighth divya-yuga, and then Lord Caitanya appears in the

Kali-yuga of the same divya-yuga. Lord Krsna and Lord Caitanya appear once

in each day of Brahma, or once in fourteen manvantaras, each of seventy-one

divya-yugas in duration."

 

-CC Adi-lila, 3.10 pp.

 

>>If He appears more than once, would His reason for subsequent Appearances

>>be to re-experience what He felt on the first Appearance? Or does He have

>>additional reasons?

 

The ocean of love of God is ever-expanding. The bliss of Radharani is

ever-increasing, and thus the desire of Lord Krishna to taste the bliss of

Radha is also ever renewed.

 

>>Does Krishna repeat Himself?

 

If He feels like it.

 

>>He certainly likes certain things. If one offers something, should one's

>>mood be to perfect one's offering and therefore make it better than the

>>previous time, or should one try to offer something different each time?

 

By increasing the quantity of love, the offering becomes better. It is never

the same preparation, since every time more of loving devotion is added as

the special spice,. That is the ingredient relished by Krishna.
