The Gravitational Force of Devotion
Snan Yatra (bathing) of Sri Jagannathdev. Disappearance of Srila Mukunda Datta and Srila Sridhar Pandit.
108 Upanishads give illumination to the Holy Name of Krishna is the crown jewel of all sounds. - The soul is enveloped in "bad intelligence" now. - There is only one thing in Kali-yuga: a Vaishnav. - Devotee is at the heart of Krishna conception. - Not everyone can understand what Mahaprabhu sings in front of Jagannath. - Rupa Goswami's reads what in Mahaprabhu's inner heart. - Jagannath is astonished to see the dance of Mahaprabhu. - Prataparudra Maharaja's attempts to get Mahaprabhu darshan. - Ramananda Ray's praise of Prataparudra Maharaj: getting the devotees' mercy first. - Foundation for Ratha-yatra: separation with Jagannath due to His cold after the bathing, feeling a bit under the weather. – Geosynchronous: Mahaprabhu returns to Puri when His devotees arrive. - 200 mahabhagavatas. - Heart as a charioteer - devotees came to see Mahaprabhu before Jagannath's darshan. - Jagannath's form: G-force in action - the pull of Vrindavan that He cannot escape. - Mahaprabhu in Sarvabhauma's house: The Lord or the Lord's devotee? - Mahaprabhu distributes prasadam, enough for 4. - Prem-sankirtan: everyone participating has Krishna-prem. - Mukunda Datta - the best singer in Vrindavan. - Krishna-karnamrita and Brahma-samhita were brought by Mahaprabhu from South India. – Kirtan that goes throughout the Universe – not mundane sound, finer than the finest. – Chaitanya-charitamrita: live feed of the pastimes. - Mahaprabhu, like Krishna, was looking at each one simultaneously. - Kolavece Sridhar asked for a boon: let Mahaprabhu cheat him lifetime after lifetime. - Last evening before Mahaprabhu’s sannyas.

It says: this prem-sankirtan — it goes throughout the Universe, the three worlds. And we might think, “Is this some kind of poetry?” – No, it’s real. It’s reality. But we are thinking in terms of mundane – it is not mundane sound, it’s prem-sankirtan. So it means, it’s finer than the finest elements.
So those who are tuned into that plane, they’re getting it livestream real time – for the higher devotees. That’s why it’s not something that happened 500 years ago. When you read Sri Chaitanya-charitamritam – it’s a live feed of these pastimes.
When Ramananda came, Mahaprabhu said, “So, you saw Jagannath?”— “No, I came to see You first. — What?! — And Ramananda Ray said, “The body is like a chariot and the heart is the charioteer, so where the charioteer tells the chariot to go — it has to go. My heart brought me here.”
Mahaprabhu has so much love for everyone and they – for Him – then what to do? What do you do when Advaita Acharya’s leading the one group, Nityananda – the other, Vakreshvara Pandit – the other, Srivas Thakur – the other? Who do you look at? – All of them simultaneously. So He expands, so that every person feels as though He’s looking at them and them alone: they’re making eye-contact the whole time - but with everyone.
