Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Ādi 7.11
Kṛṣṇa Becomes a Devotee to Taste Love
“The transcendental mellow of conjugal love of Kṛṣṇa is so wonderful that Kṛṣṇa Himself accepts the form of a devotee to relish and taste it fully.”
What the purport teaches
- Although Kṛṣṇa is the reservoir of all pleasure, He accepts the form of a devotee to taste Himself.
- The transcendental mellow of conjugal love of Kṛṣṇa is so wonderful that He wishes to relish it fully. Although Lord Caitanya appears as a devotee, He is Kṛṣṇa Himself.
- Rādhā and Kṛṣṇa assumed oneness in the form of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
