Guest guest Posted October 17, 2000 Report Share Posted October 17, 2000 The devotees unpacked their gear at a guest house across the road from Sri Krishna Janmastan. Devotees entered the prison cell where Devaki gave birth to Lord Krishna. There was a quote written on the wall from the Hari bhakti vilas "Anyone who enters this place during the month of Karttika acheives the supreme destination." Everyone shouted Haribol, Jaya! They were delighted to get this news. After this we took darsan of Lord Keshavdev, one the most beautiful Deities of Lord Krishna. Lord Caitanya He danced in ecstacy upon seeing this Deity. "When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu entered the city of Mathura, He took His bath at Vishrama-ghata. He then visited the birthplace of Krishna and saw the Deity named Keshavaji. He offered His respectful obeisances to this Deity. When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu chanted, danced and made loud vibrations, all the people were astonished to see His ecstatic love. One brahmana fell at the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and then began to dance with Him in ecstatic love. The two of them danced in ecstatic love and embraced each other. Raising their arms, they said, "Chant the holy names of Hari and Krishna!" All the people then began to chant, "Hari! Hari!" and there was a great uproar. The priest in Lord Keshava's service offered Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu a garland." (Madhya 17.156-160) Your servant, Bhakta Damon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
