Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 11.27

Serving the Lord’s Servant Pleases Him

“Because the King has shown so much love for you, Lord Kṛṣṇa will certainly accept him.

Śrīla Prabhupāda · Śrī Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 11.27, translation

What the purport teaches

  • King Pratāparudra allowed Rāmānanda Rāya to leave government service and encouraged him with a full pension. The Lord greatly appreciated this support.
  • The Lord is more pleased when one serves His servant. To approach the Supreme Personality of Godhead, one has to go through His confidential servant.
  • Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu assured Rāmānanda Rāya that Kṛṣṇa would certainly accept the King because of the King’s love for him.
