Recognizing an Obstacle to Joining Devotees

“Raghunātha dāsa could not accompany them, for they were so famous that he would have been caught immediately.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 6.158, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Raghunātha dāsa could not accompany the devotees traveling to Jagannātha Purī.
  • They were so famous that joining them would have led to his being caught immediately.
  • Although the devotees were going to see Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu, their journey did not provide a workable means for Raghunātha dāsa to leave.
