Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 19.132
Wonderful Service Through the Lord’s Mercy
“When the personal associates of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu would hear of the activities of Rūpa and Sanātana Gosvāmīs, they would say, “What is wonderful for a person who has been granted the Lord’s mercy?””
What the purport teaches
- The personal associates of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu understood the activities of Rūpa and Sanātana Gosvāmīs in light of the Lord’s mercy.
- Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī had no fixed residence. They stayed beneath a tree for one day only and wrote huge volumes of transcendental literature.
- They also chanted, danced, discussed Kṛṣṇa and remembered Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s pastimes. In these ways they executed devotional service.
