Lord Nityänanda’s Stay With Çréväsa and His Vyäsa-püjä Ceremony<br />
bidyä dhana kule jïäna tapasyära made<br />
mora bhakta stäne ñära äche aparädhe<br />
se adhama sabäre nä dimu premasoga<br />
nagariyä prati dimu brakñädira bhoga<br />
“Näòä brought Me here from Vaikuëöha, but He is<br />
living peacefully with Haridäsa. I descended to inaugurate<br />
the näma-saìkértana movement. I will preach this<br />
chanting in each and every house. However, I will not<br />
give love of God to those fallen souls who offend My<br />
devotees, being proud of their learning, wealth, high<br />
birth, knowledge, and austerity. I will freely give to<br />
everyone this love of God, which even Lord Brahmä<br />
rarely attains.”<br />
While hearing the Lord, all the devotees floated on the<br />
ocean of bliss. After some time, the son of Çacé 6 became calm.<br />
“What mischief have I done?” the Lord inquired. The devotees<br />
replied, “Nothing serious.” The Lord then embraced everyone,<br />
saying, “Please excuse My offenses.”<br />
Hearing the Lord’s words, the devotees began to smile as Nityänanda<br />
Prabhu rolled on the ground. He was unable to check<br />
His emotions. Love of God overwhelmed Lord Nityänanda,<br />
who is non-different from Lord Çeña. Sometimes He laughed,<br />
sometimes He cried, and sometimes He loosened His clothes. He<br />
appeared to be very childish. What remained of His sannyäsa<br />
daëòa, what remained of His water pot, and what remained of<br />
His clothes? He scattered everything all over the ground.<br />
6 Çacé was the mother of Lord Gauräìga. She was a combined<br />
form of Kauçalyä, Devaké, Påçni, Aditi, and Yaçodä. Nélämbara Cakravarté,<br />
a resident of Çréhaööa, came to Navadvépa and took up residence<br />
there. He had two sons, named Yogeçvara Paëòita and Ratnagarbha<br />
Äcärya, and two daughters, named Çacé and Sarvajäyä. The Lord of<br />
the universe agreed to become Çacé’s son. What could be more glorious<br />
than this?<br />
