Biography of young Nimāi

published by New Śrī Haridās Nivās, Spain

On the 23rd Phalguna of 1407 in Śaka era, or on March 14, 1486 by the Western calendar, a full moon lunar eclipse occurred on Holī. Thousands of persons stood in the Ganges River while loudly chant­ing Harināma.

Within this extremely auspicious atmosphere, Lord Kṛṣṇa, having the beautiful molten gold color and the sublime transcendental mood of His beloved Śrīmatī Rādhāranī, incarnated in the

womb of Śrīmatī Śacīdevī as Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya.

After staying there for fourteeen months, His mystic potency Yogamāyā arranged a full lunar eclipse at the time of His birth.

In this way, the Lord, even before taking birth, initiated His Harināma saṅkīrtan movement, since thousands of people crowded at the Ganges, loudly chant­ing the Names of Kṛṣṇa.

The old, the young, the ignorant, the knowledgeable, the pious, the impious, the sinful, the sinless ­ everybody indeed was chanting the Holy Names of Kṛṣṇa, such as Gopāla, Govinda, Gopīnātha, Giridhārī, Śyāma­sundara, Madan­mohan, Madhusūdan,

Hari, Yādava, Mādhava, Keśava, Nārāyaṇa or Jagannātha.

These and the ecstatic chanting of “Hare Kṛṣṇa Hare Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa Hare Hare Hare Rāma Hare Rāma Rāma Rāma Hare Hare” were the only sounds that one could hear.

The father of Śrīmati Śacīdevī, Śrīla Nīlāmbara Cakravartī, was a famous scholar, logician and

astrologer. By his astrological calculations, he determined that

his grandson Nimāi was an exalted perso­

nality. He therefore

named Him Viśvambhara,

the sustainer of the universe.

The ladies of the neighborhood,

after presenting Him with gifts and blessings

called Him Gaurahari

because of His beautiful golden

complexion.

His mother called Him Nimāi because of the neem tree under which He was born, and His father called Him Gaurāṅga.

As a baby He often cried. Although His mother, father and all His relatives and friends tried many things to get Him to stop, He would not. However,

as soon as someone

chanted the names of Kṛṣṇa, He would break

into a big, beaming smile.

So everyone who visited the

house of Śacīdevī and Jagannāth

Miśra would chant the

names of Kṛṣṇa to ensure that Nimāi would

not cry...

NIMĀI AND THE SNAKEpublished by New Śrī Haridās Nivās, Spain

parama-nirbhaye sarva-aṅgane viharekibā agni, sarpa, yāhā dekhe, tāi dhare

The crawling of the Lord was most beautiful, and the tinkling sound of the bells on His waist enchanted the minds of all. He fearlessly wandered throughout the courtyard and grabbed whatever He saw, even a fire or a snake.

eka dina eka sarpa bāḍīte veḍāyadharilena sarpe prabhu bālaka-līlāyakuṇḍalī kariyā sarpa rahila veḍiyāṭhākura thākilā tāra upare śuiyā

One day a snake entered the house, and the Lord caught hold of it in childish sport. He then laid down on the coils of the snake.

garuḍa' garuḍa' bali' ḍāke sarva-janapitā-mātā-ādi bhaye karaye krandana

Seeing this, everyone immediately exclaimed, "Alas! Alas!" but the Lord simply smiled as He lay on the snake. All the people there called out, "Garuḍa! Garuḍa!" and the Lord's parents cried out of fear.

calilā ananta' śuni' sabāra krandanapunaḥ dharibāre yā'na śrī-śacīnandana

Hearing everyone cry, Lord Ananta began to depart, but the son of Śacī tried again to grab him. The ladies quickly caught hold of the Lord and took Him on their laps, blessing Him with the words, "Live a long life."

Someone tied a protective charm on Him, and someone recited auspicious hymns. Someone else sprinkled caraṇāmṛta on Him.

Someone said, "This child has received a new life," and someone said, "That was a special snake, and therefore it did not bite Him." hāse prabhu gauracandra sabāre cāhiyā punaḥ punaḥ yāya, sabe ānena dhariyābhakti kari'ye e-saba veda-gopya śune saṁsāra-bhujaṅga tāre na kāra re laṅghaneLord Gauracandra glanced on everyone present and smiled. He tried again and again to go catch the snake, but they repeatedly stopped Him.

Whoever hears these confidential topics with devotion will never be bitten by the snake of material existence.

krodhita antaraviṣṇu-naivedyera yata varjya-

hāṇḍī-gaṇa vasilena prabhu hāṇḍī kariyā āsana

One day, after Jagannātha Miśra went about his duties, the Lord became very angry because He was not allowed to study.

He then sat down on the old rejected pots that had been used for preparing offerings for Lord Viṣṇu.

e baḍa nigūḍha-kathā, śuna eka mane kṛṣṇa-bhakti-siddhi haya

aṅge kanaka-putali yena lepiyāche gandhe

Using those rejected pots as a siṁhāsana, Lord Gaurasundara smiled as He sat there. The black soot from those pots decorated Gaura's limbs, and He appeared like a golden doll smeared with sandalwood pulp mixed with aguru.

mā'ye āsi' dekhiyā karena hāya hāya e sthānete, bāpa, vasibāre nā yuyāya

His friends went and informed mother Śacī, "Nimāi is sitting on the rejected pots."

When mother Śacī went there and saw Nimāi in that condition, she lamented and said, "My dear son, this is not a proper place to sit.”

The Lord replied, "You don't allow Me to study, so how will I know the difference between good and bad, or a fool and brāhmaṇa?”"

"I am a fool, so I don't know which place is good and which is bad. Therefore, I consider all places equal." After saying this, the Lord smiled from His seat on the rejected pots and accepted the mood of Dattātreya, the topmost knower of the Absolute Truth.

mā'ye bole, - "tumi ye vasilā manda-sthāneebe tumi pavitra vā haibā kemane?"

"The pots used in cooking for Lord Viṣṇu are never contaminated. Indeed, simply by the touch of His cooking pots other places become purified. Therefore I never reside in a contaminated place. Everything becomes pure by My touch."

The Lord, in the mood of an ordinary child, smiled as He spoke on the Absolute Truth. Still, no one recognized Him due to the influence of His māyā. Everyone began to laugh after hearing the child speak. Then Mother Śacī said, "Come and take bath."

śacī bole, "jhāṭa āya, bāpa jāne pāche

prabhu bole, "yadi more nā deha' paḍite

The Lord, however, did not move from His seat, so

Śacī again said,

"Come quicklybefore Your father learns about this." The Lord replied, "I tell you, if you don't allow Me to study, then I won't leave this place.

sabei bhartsena ṭhākurera

jananīrasabe bole, - "kene

Everyone present then admonished the Lord's mother, "Why don't you allow Him to study? Some people

take great efforts to get their child to study. It is most auspicious if a child wants to study."

kon śatru hena-buddhi dila vā tomāre?ghare murkha kari' putra rākhibāra tare?

ihāte śiśura doṣa tilārdheka nāisabei bolena, - bāpa, āisa, nimāñi!

"Which enemy has given you the idea to keep your son at home, uneducated? This child has no fault at all." Then they said to Nimāi, "Come, Nimāi!"

sukṛti-sakala sukha-sindhu-mājhe bhāse"If You are not allowed to return to Your studies from today, You will face destruc­tion." Still the Lord did not leave His seat. He continued sitting there smiling as the pious people there floated in an ocean of bliss.

continues in the column on the right continues on the next page on the left

Then Mother Śacī personally pulled Him off His seat, and Lord Gauracandra smiled like a shining blue sapphire. The Lord spoke the Absolute Truth in the mood of Dattātreya, yet no one could recognize Him due to the influence of His māyā.

snāna karāilā lañā śacī puṇyavatīhena kāle āilena miśra mahāmati

miśra-sthāne śacī saba kahilena kathāpaḍite nā pāya putra mane bhāve' vyathā

The pious Śacī then took Nimai to the Ganges, and they both took bath. At that time the magnanimous Jagannātha Miśra arrived there. Śacī explained to him what had taken place. She then said, "Our son is morose because He is not allowed to study."

sabei bolena, "miśra, tumi ta' udāra kā'ra kathāya putre nāhi deha' paḍibāra? ye karibe kṛṣṇacandra,

sei satya haye cintā parihari' deha' paḍite nirbhaye

The others there said, "O Miśra, you are broad­minded. Who has inspired you to stop His studies? Whatever Kṛṣṇa desires will certainly take place. Therefore give up your anxiety and allow Him to study without any fear."

miśra bole, "tomarā parama-bandhu-gaṇatomarā ye bole, se āmāra vacana

"You are fortunate that your son wants to study. You should arrange to give Him a brāhmaṇa thread on an auspicious day." Śrī Miśra replied, "All of you are my well­wishers so whatever you say, I must accept."

Seeing the child's uncommon activities, everyone was struck with wonder, yet no one could understand Him. Some most fortunate person had previously given Jagannātha Miśra a prediction.

"This boy is not ordinary. Please carefully keep this child in the core of your heart." Thus the Lord of Vaikuṇṭha constantly enjoyed His confidential pastimes in the courtyard of His house.

By the order of His father, the Supreme Lord then joyfully resumed His studies.

VIŚVAMBHARA'S WATER SPORTSpublished by New Śrī Haridās Nivās, Spain

ḍubilā cāñcaya rase prabhu viśvambharasaṁhati capala yata dvijera koṅarasabāra sahita giyā pāde nānā sthānedhariyā rākhite nāhi pāre kona jane

Viśvambhara drowned in the mood of a restless child as He sported with other restless brāhmana boys. As He went to study at various places with His friends, no one was able to control Him.

anya śiśu dekhile karaye kutūhalaseha parihāsa kare, bājaye kondala

prabhura bālaka saba jine prabhu bale anya śiśu-gaṇa yata saba hāri' cale

Whenever the Lord met some new boys, He would tease them. And when the other boys retaliated, a quarrel broke out. By the strength of the Lord, He and His friends always won such quarrels and the other boys would leave in defeat.

appeared most enchanting. At noon, after their studies, the Lord and His friends joyfully went to bathe in the Ganges.

Viśvambhara and His friends eagerly entered the Ganges, wherein they enjoyed splashing water on each other. Who can describe the opulence of Navadvīpa? Innumerable people took bath at one of the bathing ghāṭas.

I am unable to say how many saints, ascetics, house­holders, sannyāsīs, and children came there to take bath. As the Lord swam in the Ganges with His associates, sometimes He would dive below the surface and sometimes He would float. In this way He enjoyed various water sports.

jala-krīḍā kare gaurasundara-śarīrasabākāra gā'ye lāge caraṇera nīra

sabe mānā kare, tabu niṣedha nā mānedhariteo keha nāhi pāre eka-sthāne

While engaged in water sports, Gaurasundara would splash water with His feet on those nearby. People forbade Him from doing this, but the Lord ignored them and they were unable to catch Him.

punaḥ punaḥ sabāre karāya prabhu snānakā're choṅya, kā'ro aṅge kullola-

pradānanā pāiyā prabhura nāgāli vipra-gaṇesabe calilena tāṅ'ra janakera sthāne

The Lord compelled everyone to bathe again and again by touching them or spitting on them. Being unable to restrain Him, the brāhmanas approached His father to complain about Him.

"śuna, śuna, ohe miśra parama-bāndhava!tomāra putrera apanyāya kahi saba

The brāhmanas said, "Dear friend, Jagan­nātha Miśra. Please hear about your son's misdeeds. Due to them we are unable to bathe properly." Someone said, "He splashes water on me and disturbs my meditation.

Someone said, "I was standing in the water chanting my Gāyatrī, when He suddenly came under the water, grabbed my feet and pulled me down." Another said, "He always takes my flower basket and fresh cloth." Someone else said, "He steals my Bhagavad­Gītā."

Then someone complained, "My son is very young, and Nimāi makes him cry by putting water in his ears." Another person said, "He comes behind me, climbs on my shoulders, and then jumps in the water, exclaiming, ‘I am Lord Maheśa’".

keha bole, "vaise mora pūjāra āsanenaivedya khāiyā viṣṇu pūjaye āpanesnāna kari' uṭhile bālukā deya aṅgeyateka capala śiśu, sei tā'ra saṅge

Someone said, "Your son sits on my āsana and eats the offerings I have prepared for Lord Viṣṇu; then He worships Lord Viṣṇu. When I come out from my bath, He throws sand on me. He is surrounded by all the other mischievous boys."

Another complained, "Your son asked me, ‘Who are you meditating on? Just see: in Kali­yuga I am directly Lord Nārāyaṇa.'" Someone said, "He stole my śiva­liṅga," and someone else said, "He ran away with my cādara".

Someone said, "I kept different ingredients for worshiping Viṣṇu, such as flowers, dūrvā grass, bhoga, sandalwood pulp, and the Lord's āsana, on the bank of the Ganges. When I went to take bath your son sat on the Lord's āsana, ate the bhoga, smeared Himself with the sandalwood pulp, decorated Himself with the flowers, and ran off. Then He said, ‘Why are you unhappy? He for Whom you arranged those ingredients has Himself enjoyed them.'"
