Sri Bhakti Ratnakara May 06, CANADA (SUN) — A serial presentation of Sri Bhakti Ratnakara by Srila Narahari Cakravarti Thakur.
Prabhu ordered Govinda, "Please take the responsibility to show Prabhu Jagannatha peacefully to this innocent brahmin."107 Gaura candra and his followers also went to visit Nilacala candra.108 Sri Caitanyadasa offered his respects to the associates of Mahaprabhu very humbly. They were pleased with him and introduced him to other followers of Sri Caitanya.109-110 On the order of Prabhu the devotees took the brahmin to visit Prabhu Jagannatha.111 The happiness of the brahmin knew no bounds when he observed both the moving and unmoving Lord in the same place.112 Silently the brahmin prayed to them in many ways, and Gaurahari smiled sweetly at the brahmin.113
Mahaprabhu dedicated the brahmin to the gracious feet of Jagannatha and ordered Caitanyadasa to go to Gaudadesha.114 After visiting Jagannatha, Mahaprabhu and his followers went to the house of his favorite associate Kasi Misra.115 Sri Caitanyadasa being highly satisfied, returned to his home.116 All the devotees thought about the brahmin as they returned to their own homes.117 They asked Sri Govinda whether he knew what the brahmin had desired and prayed for to Jagannatha.118 Govinda assured them that in time the brahmin's desire would be revealed by the wish of Mahaprabhu.119
Meanwhile Prabhu called Govinda and told him in a serious tone, "The brahmin has come here to pray for a son from Jagannatha. He will get a son named Srinivasa. I shall empower Sri Rupa to write many devotional books and empower Srinivasa to circulate those books."120-122
