Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Antya 2.113

The Lord Restricts Haridāsa’s Access

“From this day forward, do not allow Choṭa Haridāsa to come here.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 2.113, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu instructed Govinda not to allow Choṭa Haridāsa to come there.
  • The restriction was to begin that very day.
  • The order is direct, but this verse does not explain its reason.

Try this today

Read the order once more and name only what it explicitly instructs.

Ask yourself

Can I distinguish what the Lord’s order says from what I might assume about it?

Carry the question through the day, then answer it in your own words before sleep.

The study points are short summaries drawn from Śrīla Prabhupāda's translation and purport; the practice and question are plain words for trying the verse today.
