The Lord’s Mercy at Kuliyā
“For five consecutive days all the people gathered to see the Lord, and still there was no rest. Out of fear of the crowd, Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu left at night and went to the town of Kuliyā [present-day Navadvīpa].”
What the purport teaches
- People gathered to see the Lord for five consecutive days, leaving Him no rest. Out of fear of the crowd, He left at night for Kuliyā.
- The purport identifies present-day Navadvīpa as the former Kuliyā-grāma. Traveling there from Vidyānagara then required crossing a branch of the Ganges.
- At Kuliyā-grāma, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu favored Devānanda Paṇḍita. He also delivered Gopāla Cāpala and many others who had previously committed offenses at His lotus feet.
