CHAPTER SEVEN
Çrémän Mahäprabhu Glorifies Lord Nityänanda
Both Lord Viçvambhara and Nityänanda Prabhu resided
at Navadvépa, enjoying Their transcendental pastimes.
Nityänanda Prabhu was always merged in an ocean of transcendental
love of Kåñëa. He constantly behaved like an ordinary
child. He loved everyone and always spoke with them in a sweet
voice. He danced, sang, played musical instruments, and laughed
to Himself. Sometimes, out of His deep sentiment, He roared
loudly, causing everyone to become filled with wonder. In the
rainy season, when the Ganges was filled with fierce waves and
crocodiles, Lord Nityänanda fearlessly swam and floated in her
water. Although everyone who saw Him floating in the Ganges
became afraid for Him, shouting, “Alas! Alas!” Nityänanda continued
floating in ecstasy among the crocodiles. He floated in
the Ganges, absorbed in the mood of Ananta. Not understanding
this, common people lamented.
