By Gour Govinda Swami<\/strong><\/p>\n Today we are observing Advaita Acarya\u2019s appearance day, which is on saptami tithi in the month of Magha. He Is the Lord and the Incarnation of the Lord\u2019s Devotee<\/p>\n First we should know who Advaita Acarya is. It is mentioned in Caitanya-caritamrta adi-lila,<\/p>\n maha-vishnur jagat-karta \u201cLord Advaita Acarya is the incarnation of Maha-Vishnu, whose main function is to create the cosmic world through the actions of maya.\u201d (Caitanya-caritamrta adi-lila 1.12)<\/p>\n advaitam harinadvaitad \u201dBecause He is non-different from Hari, the Supreme Lord, He is called Advaita, and because He propagates the cult of devotion, He is called Acarya. He is the Lord and the incarnation of the Lord\u2019s devotee. Therefore I take shelter of Him.\u201d (Caitanya-caritamrta adi-lila 1.13)<\/p>\n Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika states,<\/p>\n bhaktavatara acaryo\u2019dvaito yah sri-sadasivah That means Advaita Acarya is bhakta-avatara.<\/p>\n panca-tattvatmakam krshnam \u201cI offer my obeisances unto the Supreme Lord, Krishna, who is non-different from His features as a devotee, devotional incarnation, devotional manifestation, pure devotee and devotional energy.\u201d<\/p>\n Advaita-Tattva <\/p>\n The panca-tattva is bhakta-rupa, bhakta-svarupa, bhakta-avatara, bhaktakhya and bhakti-sakti. Bhakta-rupa is Mahaprabhu in the form of a devotee. Bhakta-svarupa is Nityananda. Bhakta-avatara is Advaita Acarya. Bhaktakhya is Srivasa and bhakta-sakti is Gadadhara; panca-tattva. Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika states, bhaktavatara acaryo\u2019dvaito yah sri-sadasivah. Advaita Acarya is bhaktavatara and He is also Sadasiva, Sadasiva Maha-Vishnu avatara. When we say Maha-Vishnu avatara then Sadasiva comes. This is Advaita Acarya. This is advaita-tattva. Advaita Acarya is such a devotee that He made Krishna descend here. <\/p>\n Santipura-Natha<\/p>\n Advaita Acarya\u2019s father\u2019s name was Kuvera Misra and His mother\u2019s name was Srimati Nabhadevi. They were first living in Srihatta. Kuvera Pandita, the father of Advaita Acarya, had no son for a very long period. In his old age he got this son Advaita Acarya. In Srihatta district there was a village named Nava-grama. That is the birthplace of Advaita Acarya. He appeared on this day in the month of Magha saptami, on the seventh day of the bright fortnight, Magha sukla saptami. The Two Wives of Advaita Acarya <\/p>\n Advaita Acarya\u2019s father and mother disappeared when he was very young. Feeling very distressed he went on pilgrimage visiting many, many holy places. When He came back, some of His relatives requested Him to marry. Therefore, at the request of the relatives He was willing to marry. At that time one very pious orthodox brahmana was living there whose name was Nrsimha Vaduri. He had two daughters; their names were Sri and Sita. They were both very beautiful and Advaita Acarya married both of them. Thus Advaita Acarya had two wives; Sri and Sita. Sita Thakurani is famous. Advaita Acarya is also famous as Sita-natha or Sita-pati because the name of His wife was Sita Thakurani. Sita Thakurani is an incarnation of Yogamaya, and Sri devi is a manifestation of Yogamaya. Advaita Acarya is a Maha-Vishnu avatara and in Maha-Vishnu there is Sadasiva therefore we call Him Sadasiva avatara.<\/p>\n I Am Dependent on My Bhakta<\/p>\n When Advaita Acarya grew up, He saw how the people of this Kali-yuga are suffering and He could not tolerate it. He thought, \u201cI must make Krishna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appear here.\u201d Who can make the Supreme Lord appear? It is stated, bhaktera icchaya krshnera sarva avatara Cc Adi 3.112], and bhaktecchopatta-rupaya, [Bhag. 10.59.25] by the desire of His dear devotee the Lord appears. No one can make the Lord appear. He is not our order carrier. However He has said, aham bhakta-paradhino. One who is His very dear devotee, intimate devotee, prema-bhakti, Krishna said, \u201cI am dependent on him. I have no independence.\u201d Though He is supremely independent. aham bhakta-paradhino The Supreme Personality of Godhead said to the brahmana: I am completely under the control of My devotees. Indeed, I am not at all independent. Because My devotees are completely devoid of material desires, I sit only within the core of their hearts. What to speak of My devotee, even those who are devotees of My devotee are very dear to Me. (Srimad-Bhagavatam 9.4.63)<\/p>\n He said this to Durvasa Muni, \u201cI have no independence\u201d. He, who is supremely independent, says, \u201cI have no independence. I am bhakta-paradhino, I am dependent on My bhakta. What My bhakta says I do.\u201d So what a dear devotees says Krishna does. If a dear devotee says, \u201cPlease come down here\u201d, then He comes down here. Bhaktera bhaktera icchaya krshnera sarva avatara, all incarnations are there by the will of a bhakta [Cc Adi 3.112], and this is also mentioned in the verse bhaktecchopatta-rupaya paramatman namo ‘stu te. [SB 10.59.25]\nThus, without the call of His dear devotee Goloka-bihari, Purna-brahma Krishna will never descend here. He never comes here for ordinary reasons.<\/p>\n yada yada hi dharmasya paritranaya sadhunam In the Bhagavad-gita Krishna has said, \u201cWhen there is a rise of irreligion and when bhagavata-dharma is declining, miscreants, demons are rising and sadhus, bhaktas are persecuted, at that time I descend to kill the miscreants and protect the sadhus and establish bhagavata-dharma.\u201d For that purpose His incarnation descends. <\/p>\n Advaita Acarya Was Crying in His Heart<\/p>\n At one time all the demigods headed by Brahma, went to the bank of knira-sagara, the milk ocean, and offered prayers to Krishna. By their prayers Krishna appeared. Similarly, by the prayers of Advaita Acarya, Prema Purunottama Gauranga Mahaprabhu appeared in this material world and manifested His lila. Advaita Acarya could not tolerate the suffering of the jivas of Kali-yuga. He was crying in His heart. Therefore He thought, \u201cI must make the Supreme Lord Krishna appear here\u201d. <\/p>\n advaita-acarya gosani saknat isvara \u201cSri Advaita Acarya is indeed directly the Supreme Personality of Godhead Himself. His glory is beyond the conception of ordinary living beings.\u201d (Caitanya-caritamrta Adi-lila 6.6)<\/p>\n advaita-acarya koti-brahmandera karta \u201cSri Advaita Acarya is the creator of millions and millions of universes, and by His expansions [as Garbhodakasayi Vishnu] He maintains each and every universe.\u201d (Caitanya-caritamrta Adi-lila 6.21<\/p>\n He is isvara [the controller], He is non-different from Hari therefore He is advaita [oneness, non-dual]. Here it says, [referring to Cc Adi 1.12-13 above] \u201cAdvaita Acarya, because He is non-different from Hari, the Supreme Lord, He is called Advaita, and because He propagates the cult of devotion, He is called Acarya\u201d. Therefore he is called Advaita Acarya. Caitanya-caritamrta states the same, advaita-acarya gosani saknat isvara, because He is non-different from Hari, saknat isvara. Yanhara mahima nahe jivera gocara, ordinary jivas cannot understand the glory of Advaita Acarya. <\/p>\n He Made a Wonderful Promise<\/p>\n Maha-Vishnu avatara, He is an incarnation of Maha-Vishnu, and therefore He could feel the pains of the jivas here because all jivas come from Maha-Vishnu. He was a Maha-Vishnu avatara, and He could feel the suffering and pain of the kali-hata jiva. He observed that there was no bhakti in Kali-yuga and therefore He promised, \u201cI must make Krishna appear to propagate bhakti\u201d. <\/p>\n karaimu krshna sarva-nayana-gocara \u201cI will make Krishna appear before the eyes of all, then this person named \u201cAdvaita\u201d will be known as the servant of Krishna. (Caitanya Bhagavata. Adi-khanda 11.64)<\/p>\n Advaita Acarya promised, \u201cI must make Krishna appear here and show Krishna to every one. If I do not, then I will not be known by the name Advaita Acarya, krshnera kinkara, the servant of Krishna.\u201d He made this promise. It is a wonderful promise. Who can make such a promise? Only because He is such a dear devotee He can make Krishna appear. Otherwise no one can make Krishna appear.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I cannot make Krishna appear here, if I cannot make Him manifest here, and cannot show Him to all the people of Kali-yuga, My name is not Advaita Acarya. Then I\u2019ll give up this name.\u201d He made such a promise, a very strong promise. This is a very wonderful promise. No one has ever heard of such a promise. No one has made such a promise. <\/p>\n He Worshipped salagrama-sila with Tulasi and Ganga-Jala<\/p>\n So every day He was offering worship to salagrama-sila with tulasi leaf and ganga-jala, and uttering the name of Krishna, crying, crying, and crying. tulasi-dala-matrena jalasya culukena va \u201cSri Krishna, who is very affectionate toward His devotees, sells Himself to a devotee who offers Him merely a tulasi leaf and a palmful of water.\u201d (Caitanya-caritamrta adi-lila 3.104)<\/p>\n Every day He was offering tulasi leaf and a palmful of ganga-jala, Ganges water. So He thought of this and He deliberated on this. He said, <\/p>\n ei slokartha acarya karena vicarana \u201cAdvaita Acarya considered the meaning of the verse in this way: \u201cNot finding any way to repay the debt He owes to one who offers Him a tulasi leaf and water, Lord Krishna thinks, \u2018There is no wealth in My possession that is equal to a tulasi leaf and water.\u201d Caitanya-caritamrta Adi-lila 3.105-106<\/p>\n tabe atma veci\u2019 kare rnera sodhana \u201cThus the Lord liquidates the debt by offering Himself to the devotee.\u201d Considering in this way, the Acarya began worshiping the Lord. (Caitanya-caritamrta Adi-lila 3.107)<\/p>\n Every day He was worshipping the Lord in the form of salagrama-sila with tulasi leaf and ganga-jala, Ganges water, crying, crying, crying and uttering the name of Krishna and calling in a roaring voice, \u201cPlease come down! Please come down!\u201d<\/p>\n His Call Entered the Spiritual Sky <\/p>\n One of Advaita Acarya\u2019s names is Nada. One day Mahaprabhu said \u201cNadair-hunkara.\u201d Hunkara means \u201croaring voice\u201d. \u201cWith a roaring voice Nada, Advaita Acarya, called Me. My seat shook in My eternal abode so I couldn\u2019t stay there; I had to come down here. He made Me come down.\u201d Sitanatha Made Krishna Appear<\/p>\n Bhaktera icchaya krshnera sarva avatara [Cc Adi 3.112]; bhaktecchopatta-rupaya [Bhag. 10.59.25], by the will of His devotee Krishna appears. Who can make Krishna appear? A dear devotee can make Krishna appear. Who is bhakta-vatsala? Who is very dear? Advaita Acarya is so dear. He is bhakti-avatara. He is a very intimate devotee. Therefore He, Sitanatha, made Krishna appear. bhaknya, bhojya, upahara, sange la-ila bahu bhara, \u201cWhen Sita Thakurani came to the house of Sacidevi, bringing with her many kinds of eatables, dresses and other gifts, she was astonished to see the newborn child, for she appreciated that except for a difference in colour, the child was directly Krishna of Gokula Himself.\u201d (Caitanya-caritamrta Adi-lila 13.115)<\/p>\n He is saknat gokula-krshna, Krishna directly from Gokula except for a difference in His complexion; instead of black He is gaura. That it stated. So this saknat gokula-hari, Gokulanatha Hari, only has a different complexion; He is gaura-varna. When Advaita Acarya Prabhu saw Him He became very, very happy. \u201cYes, My desire is fulfilled. I made Krishna appear.\u201d ye pujara samaye ye deva dhyana kare Those demigods that are meditated on at the time of worship were all seen surrounding the lotus feet of the Lord. (Caitanya-bhagavata, Madhya-khanda 6.86) <\/p>\n My Birth and Activities Are Crowned with Success<\/p>\n When Advaita Acarya looked at the child He saw the same child that He had been meditating upon, while He was daily offering worship to salagrama-sila with ganga-jala and tulasi leaf. \u201cYes, Krishna has appeared.\u201d He also saw in His meditation all the demigods who were offering prayers to that Supreme Lord. Seeing this, Advaita Acarya became very much ecstatic, blissful and said, <\/p>\n \u201caji se saphala mora dina parakasa aji mora janma-karma sakala saphala ghone matra cari vede, yare nahi dekhe \u201dToday My life has become successful.\u201d Advaita Acarya said, \u201cBecause I saw My beloved Lord. Today all My desires were fulfilled.\u201d aji mora janma-karma sakala saphala, \u201cToday My birth and My activities are all crowned with success.\u201d saknate dekhilun tora carana-yugala, \u201cI have directly seen Your lotus feet, O My beloved Lord.\u201d Ghone matra cari vede, yare nahi dekhe, hena tumi mora lagi\u2019 haila parateke, \u201cIn the four Vedas His glories are described, but no one sees Him. Yet today I have seen Him. He has appeared O, My dear Lord, for Me.\u201d<\/p>\n Advaita Acarya Worships Sriman Mahaprabhu<\/p>\n Mahaprabhu asked Acarya, \u201cO, Acarya You offer worship to Me.\u201d Then Advaita Acarya offered worship at the lotus feet of Sriman Mahaprabhu. This is mentioned in Caitanya-bhagavata,<\/p>\n prathame carana dhui\u2019 suvasita jale \u201cHe first washed the lotus feet of the Lord with fragrant water and then smeared them with sandalwood paste.\u201d Caitanya-bhagavata Madhya-kandha 6.106<\/p>\n candane dubai\u2019 divya tulasi-manjari \u201cHe dipped tulasi-manjaris in the sandalwood paste and placed them and the ingredients of arghya on the Lord\u2019s lotus feet.\u201d (Caitanya-bhagavata Madhya-kandha 6.107)<\/p>\n gandha, punpa, dhupa, dipa, panca upacare \u201cHe worshipped the Lord with five ingredients like sandalwood paste, flowers, incense, and ghee. As He worshipped the Lord, tears of love flowed from His eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n panca-sikha jvali\u2019 punah karena vandana \u201cHe offered a lamp with five ghee wicks and again offered prayers. Finally He loudly chanted, \u2018Jaya! Jaya!\u2019. \u201d<\/p>\n While shedding tears of love, prema-asru, He offered puja, lit panca-pradipa and offered arati. In this way He worshiped baby Gaura Hari. Advaita Acarya Prabhu offered worship to the lotus feet of Sri Gaura Hari according to scriptural evidences and scriptural methods. <\/p>\n Advaita Acarya\u2019s Prayers to Mahaprabhu<\/p>\n At last He offered these prayers to Mahaprabhu, which are all mentioned in Caitanya-bhagavata:<\/p>\n jaya jaya sarva-prana-natha visvambhara jaya jaya bhakata-vacana-satyakari jaya jaya sindhu-suta-rupa-manorama jaya jaya \u2018hare-krshna\u2019-mantrera prakasa jaya jaya mahaprabhu ananta-sayana He offered this prayer unto Mahaprabhu. Jaya jaya sarva-prana-natha visvambhara His name is Visvambhara. All glories to Visvambhara, who is the life and soul of all jivas. Jaya jaya gauracandra karuna-sagara, all glories to Gauracandra, who is an ocean of mercy. Advaita Acarya\u2019s Boon<\/p>\n In this way He was offering worship and prayers to baby Gaura. Much talking was going on between Advaita Acarya and Gaurasundara. When the baby was talking, no one else would say anything. Gaurasundara laughed and said, \u201cO Acarya, I am very much pleased with Your prayers. You may ask for a boon.\u201d It is also mentioned in Caitanya-bhagavata that Advaita Acarya asked for this boon: <\/p>\n advaita balaye, \u2014 yadi bhakti bilai Advaita Acarya said, \u201cAll right. Please grant Me this boon: You should give bhakti to one and all; stri, women, sudras, to those who are most ignorant fools and to those who are most degraded. Please give bhakti to one and all. Please give Me this boon. Let it be granted.\u201d When Advaita Acarya asked for this boon Mahaprabhu granted it. When He accepted Advaita Acarya\u2019s prayer and granted it, His very intimate devotees could understand that this boon was granted. At that time, simultaneously they said, \u201cHaribol! Haribol! Haribol!\u201d<\/p>\n Gaurahari is karuna-sagara, an ocean of mercy, karuna-maya, merciful. He makes true what His bhakta has said, bhakta-vacana-satyakari. To those who are dina hina papi panandi, He offered that prema. Brahmara durlabha prema saba kare yache patita pamara nahi bache, it is not an easy thing even on the part of Brahma to obtain it. Mahaprabhu offered that prema, krshna-prema, which is such a rare attainment, indiscriminately to all patitas (fallen), pamaras (the most degraded souls), papis (sinful men), panandis (atheists), dina (distressed) and hina (inferior). Thus it is by the calling of Santipura-natha, Santipura-pati Advaita Acarya, that Mahaprabhu appeared. Jaya karuna-maya Santipura-pati Advaita Acarya Prabhu ki jaya! Please shower Your mercy on us most degraded jivas. O Advaita Acarya Prabhu, if You shower Your mercy on us then we can get Gaura and Nitai. Otherwise what is the value of our life? This is only a brief summary about Advaita Acarya Prabhu\u2019s life. At last we offer some prayers unto Him. So we will sing a song by Locana dasa Thakura glorifying Advaita Acarya. If you do not sing it, you cannot relish it. Therefore you should all sing it.<\/p>\n (1) Hunkara means roaring call. With thunderous voice He was calling, \u201cPlease, please come down, please!\u201d Yara huhunkare gaura avatara haya, by whose roaring call Gaura appeared.<\/p>\n (2)<\/p>\n prema-data sita-natha karuna-sagara The bestower of prema Sitanatha, the husband of Sita Thakurani, is an ocean of mercy, by whose loving mellow the all-merciful Gauranga Mahaprabhu came down.<\/p>\n (3) <\/p>\n yahare karuna kari krpa dithe caya Sriman Mahaprabhu came down here and bestowed His mercy on Advaita Acarya Prabhu. If one is fortunate to get the mercy of Advaita Acarya then he will be able to glorify Caitanya Mahaprabhu.<\/p>\n (4) <\/p>\n tahara padete yeba la-ila sarana One who takes shelter at the lotus feet of Advaita Acarya is very fortunate and will definitely get gaura-prema, which is an invaluable asset. <\/p>\n (5) <\/p>\n emana dayara nidhi kene na bhajilum Emana dayara nidhi, Advaita Acarya Prabhu is such an ocean of mercy. I am such a rascal. I am not doing the bhajana of Advaita Acarya. One who does not do the bhajana of Advaita Acarya, who is the ocean of mercy, Locana dasa Thakura says, bale nija mathe bajara padilum, \u201cHe puts a thunderbolt on his own head.\u201d<\/p>\n This is a song written by Locana dasa Thakura glorifying Advaita Acarya Thakura.<\/p>\n Jaya karuna-maya Santipura-pati Sri Sri Advaita Acarya Prabhu ki jaya! Advaita Acarya\u2019s father and mother disappeared when he was very young. Feeling very distressed he went on pilgrimage visiting many, many holy places. When He came back, some of His relatives requested Him to marry. Therefore, at the request of the relatives He was willing to marry. At that time one very pious orthodox brahmana was living there whose name was Nrsimha Vaduri. He had two daughters; their names were Sri and Sita. They were both very beautiful and Advaita Acarya married both of them. Thus Advaita Acarya had two wives; Sri and Sita. Sita Thakurani is famous. Advaita Acarya is also famous as Sita-natha or Sita-pati because the name of His wife was Sita Thakurani. Sita Thakurani is an incarnation of Yogamaya, and Sri devi is a manifestation of Yogamaya. Advaita Acarya is a Maha-Vishnu avatara and in Maha-Vishnu there is Sadasiva therefore we call Him Sadasiva avatara.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=24419"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24419\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":42629,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24419\/revisions\/42629"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=24419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=24419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=24419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nAdvaita Acarya appeared first, then He made Mahaprabhu, Krishna, appear. By Advaita Acarya\u2019s calling Krishna appeared. Therefore it is a very auspicious day so we should speak something on Srila Advaita Acarya and beg for His mercy. If He bestows His mercy on us then we can get Caitanya Nitai, otherwise we cannot. <\/p>\n

\nAfter that Kuvera Pandita wanted to go and stay on the bank of the Ganges. He left and shifted his residence from the bank of the Ganges to Santipura. Santipura is now famous as Advaita\u2019s dhama, patha. He is also called Santipura-natha, Lord of Santipura.
\nWhen Kuvera Pandita performed the nama-karana, name giving ceremony, of his son, he gave one name Mangala and another name Kamalakna, but why is He called Advaita Acarya we quoted already from Caitanya-caritamrta.<\/p>\n
\nIn Bhagavad-gita Krishna has said, mattah parataram nanyat kincid asti dhananjaya [Bg.7.7], \u201cO Dhananjaya, Arjuna, there is no one superior to Me.\u201d Ekale isvara krshna, ara saba bhrtya, Krishna is the only isvara. All others are His servants, but that Krishna is bhakta-vatsala because He is very dear to His devotees, and a prema-bhakti can bind Him with the rope of love. Therefore it is said in the ninth canto of Srimad Bhagavatam, <\/p>\n

\nIn Caitanya-caritamrta there is a verse quoted from Gautamiya-tantra vacana,<\/p>\n
\nvikrinite svam atmanam bhaktebhyo bhakta-vatsalah<\/p>\n

\neta bhavi\u2019 acarya karena aradhana<\/p>\n
\nKrishna also had the desire to come down again to teach bhakti. Yoga-maya manifests all lilas. So antaranga-sakti, Yoga-maya, was waiting for Advaita Acarya\u2019s call, \u201cLet Advaita Acarya call.\u201d Advaita Acarya was calling Him every day with a roaring voice, while offering worship to salagrama-sila. His call penetrated the seven layers of this material universe, entered into the spiritual sky and went to Goloka Vrndavana. Upon hearing this lila-sutra-dhari, Yoga-maya thought, \u201cAdvaita Acarya is calling. Now I must make Krishna appear as Gaura.\u201d Therefore Prema Purunottama Gauranga Mahaprabhu appeared. This is one of the reasons of Gaura\u2019s appearance.<\/p>\n
\nMahaprabhu appeared with His dhama, with His associates in this material world. When Mahaprabhu appeared in Nadia as the son of Jagashnatha Misra and Saci-mata, while staying at Santipura, Advaita Acarya could understand, \u201cYes, Mahaprabhu has appeared.\u201d He first sent his wife Sita Thakurani to Navadvipa, Mayapur, to Jagashnath Misra\u2019s house. After that He Himself came and saw the child. In Caitanya-caritamrta it is mentioned,<\/p>\n
\nsaci-grhe haila upanita

\nJaya jaya bhakata-vacana-satyakari, all glories to He who makes the words of His devotees come true. That is Krishna\u2019s thought, \u201cWhen My devotee has promised to make Me appear, I must appear. If I won’t appear, then the words of My devotees will be false. Then no one will be My devotee.\u201d Therefore He makes His dear devotee\u2019s words come true. Jaya jaya mahaprabhu maha-avatari, \u201cYou are the source of all avataras.\u201d Because He is Krishna and Krishna is the source of all avataras.
\nJaya jaya sindhu-suta-rupa-manorama. Sindhu-suta means Laknmidevi. He is as beautiful as Laknmidevi; very beautiful. Jaya jaya srivatsa-kaustubha-vibhunana, \u201cOn His chest is srivatsa-kaustubha.\u201d
\nJaya jaya \u2018hare-krshna\u2019-mantrera prakasa, \u201cWho spoke the hare-krshna maha-mantra. That Mahaprabhu, let Him be glorified.\u201d Jaya jaya nija-bhakti-grahana-vilasa, \u201cWho came to teach His own bhakti-yoga, let Him be glorified.\u201d
\nJaya jaya mahaprabhu ananta-sayana, \u201cWho lies on the bed of Ananta-naga. That is Mahaprabhu, jaya jaya.\u201d Jaya jaya jaya sarva-jivera sarana, \u201cAt whose lotus feet all jivas take shelter, let that Mahaprabhu be glorified.\u201d
\nSo these are His jaya-gana [songs of glorification]. In this way Advaita Acarya Prabhupada offered many prayers at the lotus feet of Sri Gaurasundara. <\/p>\n
\nbastri-sudra-adi yata murkhere se diba
\n(Caitanya-bhagavata Madhya-lila 6.167)<\/p>\n
\nTherefore His appearance day is a very, very auspicious day. <\/p>\n
\n Jaya karuna-maya Santipura-pati Advaita Acarya Prabhu ki jaya!
\nJaya karuna-maya Santipura-pati Advaita Acarya Prabhu ki jaya!<\/p>\n
\nSo on this day we must offer prayers at the lotus feet of karuna-maya, the most merciful Lord of Santipura, Sri Sri Advaita Acarya. <\/p>\n
\njaya jaya advaita acarya dayamaya
