Live Caitanya Caritamrta · CC Madhya 3.183
Keeping Connected Through News
“Since Jagannātha Purī and Navadvīpa are intimately related — as if they were two rooms in the same house — people from Navadvīpa generally go to Jagannātha Purī, and those in Jagannātha Purī go to Navadvīpa. This going and coming will help carry news of Lord Caitanya. In this way I will be able to get news of Him.
What the purport teaches
- Jagannātha Purī and Navadvīpa are intimately related, like two rooms in the same house.
- People regularly travel from Navadvīpa to Jagannātha Purī and from Jagannātha Purī to Navadvīpa.
- These travelers could carry news of Lord Caitanya. Through them, mother Śacī would be able to hear about Him.
