Bringing Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu through Meditation

“When chipped rice had been served to everyone, Lord Nityānanda Prabhu, in meditation, brought Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.”

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Antya 6.77, translation

What the purport teaches

  • Lord Nityānanda Prabhu then brought Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu in meditation.
  • The shared festival meal thus became the setting for Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s arrival.
