Five hundred years ago, in the village of Navadvipa, on the auspicious full moon day,
Phalguni PurÎima, another moon rose in the court-yard of Sri Jagannatha Mishra and Sachidevi,
to provide cool shelter to the burning hearts of the sinful people of this age of Kali.
He was the golden avatar, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu,
He was the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Krishna,
who appeared as predicted in the Srimad-Bhagavatam, to propagate the yuga dharma harinama sankirtana,
the chanting of the holy names of God:
and with His incomparable compassion, Lord Chaitanya distributed Krishna prema, love of God, to
all, without reserve.
In fact, all the demigods eagerly waited for this auspicious moment: the inauguration of
sankirtana movement.
All glories to Yamaraja... All glories to Yamaraja.
All glories to you, My Lord. O the chastiser of the sinful living entities.
I offer my obeisance to you. Please allow me to present before you, the
sinful deeds of the living entities now awaiting your judgment...
Chitragupta! I am exasperated, hearing the sinful accounts and judging the multitudes
of sinful creatures, day in and day out. I see that people are becoming more and more
sinful these days. Yes, Maharaj, Kali-yuga has enveloped the
earth in itís grips. People are losing interest in the real purpose
of human life. They are becoming more and more attached to gratifying their senses.
Yes, Maharaj, it is true. My assistant writers are exhausted, as they
are busy, day and night, writing the accounts of the sinful actions of the human beings.
Chitragupta, Mandavya Muni's curse was really a great blessing upon me.
He cursed me tobecome a shudra and at that time it seemed unjust. I had to spend 100 years on the earthly
planet as Vidura. But later I realized that it was actually
the Supreme Lord's mercy upon me. I was blessed with the personal association of the Lord
who descended as the son of Devaki and Vasudeva. I eagerly await the day when I will get such
an opportunity again. namo maha-vadanyaya Krishna-prema-pradayate

Jaya Gaurachandra, Jaya Nityananda Maharshi, please be seated.
Welcome, O great sage! I am greatly honored by your visit to Yamapuri. Maharshi! I am
surprised - you always sing the glories of Narayana, but today...
Dharmaraja, you are busy with your duties on this plutonic planet. I thought that I
should let you know of the descent of Lord Chaitanya, the most magnanimous incarnation
of the Supreme Lord to inaugurate the sankirtana movement. He is distributing the holy names
hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare
hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare to anyone and everyone, without any partiality.
The Supreme Lord is so merciful. In the village of Navadvipa hundreds and thousands
of people of all classes, without any discrimination, are worshiping Krishna, performing sankirtana
intoxicated by the nectar of the holy names. And that is why we are in great trouble now.
Whenever we need to go to Navadvipa and the surrounding villages we are in great anxiety.
Don't go to Navadvipa and the surrounding villages. Now they are not in our jurisdiction.
kali-kale nama-rupe krishna-avatara Not only Navadvipa. Soon the entire world
will be inundated with the chanting of the holy names.
Probably we can go on a vacation for a few years.
Looks like we will not have any work.
Maharshi! I am eager to witness the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya. In your association, I
wish to relish the happenings in Navadvipa. Will you please take me there?
Narayana, Narayana, with great pleasure.
It is a wonderful sight to see Lord Chaitanya performing sankirtana with his associates
in the court yard of Srivasa. I am blessed.
Chitragupta, I will leave with Narada Muni to Navadvipa. I will be back very soon.
Maharaj Ö please be merciful to me. What sin have I committed to be deprived of visiting
the holy dham of Navadvipa? I am ready to suffer in all the different hells once we
come back ... but please do not deprive me of coming with you.
Maharaj, what shall we do here? Please take us also with you.
Hmmm... Yes... you can also come with me. Let us all go together.
All glories to Yamaraja! All glories to Yamaraja!

My dear Advaita, the glories of Krishna Sankirtana should spread everywhere. In every town and
village, the holy names should be heard. No one should escape. That is my mission.
Gauranga, there are many great scholars and stalwarts in Navadvip. They speak endlessly
on various subjects but when it comes to explaining the glories of the holy names they remain
silent. Instead of praising the Lordís pastimes, they criticize.
Some of them even accuse us of being dacoits disguised as sadhus to collect information.
It is our duty to deliver these people. Some people may receive us well and some may not.
Some may criticize us and some others may even try to attack us. But we cannot retract
from our mission. Be humbler than grass and more tolerant than
a tree. Never expect people to respect you, but be ready to give respect to others. In
this state of mind, chant the holy names of the Lord. People will receive you well.
Yes Gauranga, We should sow the seed of devotion in everyone's heart. We should help them in
protecting the tender creeper of devotional service and request them to water the creeper
by hearing and chanting the holy names of the Lord.
Yes, Gadadhara! If they constantly chant the holy names of the Lord, the mature fruit of
devotional service, love of Godhead, will soon be theirs.
My dear friends! Travel everywhere. Go to every house and request them to chant the
holy names of the Lord. This is the only way of deliverance in this age.
harer nama harer nama harer namaiva kevalam kalau nasty eva nasty eva nasty eva gatir
anyatha With the sharp sword of sankirtana destroy
the demoniac mentality of the people. Gauranga... If You have decided to save the
world by spreading sankirtana, who can stop You? Even the great demigods cannot act against
Your will. Srivasa, the flood of the holy name will inundate
the entire world very soon. Sri Krishna sankirtan ki jay...
Nityananda Ö Haridasa Ö I entrust you with the responsibility of preaching this message
door to door. At the end of the day, come and give Me your reports.
Gauranga, please accept this prasadam.
Sri Krishna saÏkirtan kiÖ Jai I am dumbfounded. Words fail to express my
joy as I look upon the Supreme Lord. yada yada hi dharmasya glanir bhavati bharata
abhyutthanam adharmasya tadatmana‡ sÂjamy aham
The Lord Himself descends to establish the religious principles in every yuga. Chanting
the holy names of the Lord is the yuga dharma. The Supreme Lord Krishna has descended as
Lord Chaitanya with His confidential associates to establish the yuga dharma. But this particular
incarnation of the Lord is very confidential. Maharshi... Why is this incarnation of Lord
Chaitanya considered most confidential? Because it is not directly predicted in any
Vedic scriptures. But Srimad Bhagavatam reveals this secret.
Krishna-varnam tvishakrishnam sangopangastra parshadam
yajnaih sankirtana-prayair yajanti hi su-medhasah Lord Chaitanya is Krishna Himself; but His
complexion is not black. His bodily hue is that of molten gold. Hence, he is also called
Gauranga. He is always accompanied by His most confidential servants.
Intelligent people will worship Lord Chaitanya and His associates Lord Nityananda, Advaita
Acharya, Gadadhara Pandita and Srivasa Pandita. Sri-Krishna-Chaitanya prabhu-nityananda
Sri-advaita gadadhara Srivasadi-gaura-bhakta-vÂnda The Pancha-tattva are manifestations of five
different features of Lord Krishna. They are the worshipable deities of this age. Any one
who worships Them will cross over the ocean of Kali.
Maharshi... Can you please explain more about Panca-tattva?
panca-tattvatmakam Krishnam bhakta-rupa-svarupakam bhaktavataram bhaktakhyam namami bhakta-shaktikam
The Lord's bhakta-rupa is Lord Chaitanya. His amsha, personal expansion, is Lord Nityananda
who is none other than Lord Balarama Himself. Advaita Acharya is also the direct incarnation
of Maha-Vishnu. I am sure intelligent people will never refrain
from worshiping Them. Gadadhara PaÎÚita is a manifestation of
the internal potency of the Lord. Srivasa Pandita is my personal manifestation. Many
other devotees of Lord Chaitanya are also His personal associates in the spiritual world.
Even demigods have descended and have taken birth in this planet to personally participate
in the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya. It is our great fortune to witness the pastimes
of Lord Chaitanya. Let us glorify Lord Chaitanya and His devotees.

Let us go and see...
What are you all doing here? Jagai, they are coming to the ***'s
house to do bhajans! What work do you have on this street where
only prostitutes live? (The names of Lord Hari can save all the sinful
beings in this world. There is no distinction. Beggars, prostitutes, diseased ones and even
those who have committed the worst of the abominable sins can absolve themselves from
the resultant reactions just by chanting the holy names of the Lord. I request you to chant
the names of Hari along with us. Don't try to teach us. You have no business
here. Get away from here soon! Yes Ö get out Ö or you will suffer the consequences!
Prabhu... they are intoxicated. They are trying to pick up a quarrel. Let us go.
Mukunda... most of the population in this world are sinful. It is not their mistake.
It is the evil influence of Kali. Are we not supposed to preach to them?
Is it not the mission of our Lord? Let us not retract from it.
Yes... I agree. We cannot step back. If we can deliver these two fallen souls,
the name of Lord Chaitanya will be glorified. But, my Lord, you do not know them...
Mukunda... Let us simply repeat the message of the Lord to these drunks. That is our only
business.
Brothers Ö please come out. We have something to deliver to you.
You... again? Why are you still hanging around here? To teach morality to prostitutes? If you convert
them all into saintly women, we will start hunting the women from your houses. Beware!
No... My dear brothers! We have something very important to deliver to you.
Ö Going to deliver us? (laughs) We are already enjoying the pleasures of heaven!
Heavenly pleasures are at our doorstep... What I can give you is a priceless commodity
that has descended from the spiritual world. Please chant with me:
hare Krishna hare Krishna Krishna Krishna hare hare
hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare Jagai... enough of talk. Drive them away!
No... Catch them and beat Ö they should never return to this place. We should punish them.
Let me see who will save them from my hands. Prabhu... let us go
They do not even hesitate to kill people. Come on, we should go away from here!
Krishna... please save us! You cheaters... You cannot escape us!
Haridasa... Let us run! Theyíre after us!
Where do you think you are going? We will not spare you.
I am an old man... I cannot run like this. Haridasa, we are lucky to come out of this
alive! The Lord saved us. What do we do now? I cannot run any more...
There they are Ö Jagai, this side! O Krishna... they are here!
Run... they are behind us!
Who are these drunkards? Maharaj Ö They are the perfect representation
of degraded brahmanas. The elder one is Jagadananda and the younger one is Madhavananda. They
are known as Jagai and Madhai. They are the most fallen. Drunkards, meat-eaters, woman-hunters,
debauchees.... there are no words to describe these lowly creatures.
Ignorant and foolish creatures!. How dare they behave like this to Lord Nityananda?
Their sins are innumerable. If my assistants were to sit down and calculate the sins of
these two, they will never conclude even after a month. The records of their sinful activities
are kept in bottomless pits. Maharaj... Order us... We will immediately
do the needful. At long last we have found some persons in this village of Navadvipa,
on whom we can lay our hands! Stop O servants of Yamaraja, do not hurry!
They are still not under your jurisdiction. But they should be punished for their misdeeds.
Of course... they should be. If they come into your jurisdiction after their death.
Why not? They are definitely under our jurisdiction. We are spending hours noting down each and
every sinful act of theirs. But... Lord Nityananda has already cast his
glance upon them. I did not understand.
Wait and see what happens next...
The great devotee of the Lord, Maharaja AmbarÈÒa, was waiting for Durvasa Muni's return, to
break the Ekadashi fast. Durvasa Muni did not come back. On the advice of learned brahmanas,
Maharaja Ambarisha took little water to formally break the fast. Durvasa Muni understood this
by his mystic power. He was very angry. He chastised the king. He created a demon by
his mystic power to kill the King. Any one who hurts my devotee should be punished.
Durvasa... Your mystic powers cannot hurt my devotee.
Mahaprabhu! Mahaprabhu! Gauranga! Gauranga!
Oh.. you are back! Yes Ö and by mercy of Krishna, we are alive!
What happened? My Lord, a strange incident occurred today.
As ordered by you, we were going door to door, preaching to people, asking them to chant
the holy names of Krishna. Today, we came across two drunkards - Jagai
and Madhai. Jagai and Madhai? Those culprits? Why did
you go to them? Nityananda Prabhuís mercy is so deep for
the fallen souls of this world that he is prepared to do anything to spiritually uplift
them. He approached Jagai and Madhai and requested them to chant the holy names.
And we almost lost our lives in their hands. I will destroy them at once.
My Lord, why do you want to destroy them? If you start taking up your weapon to vanquish
the demons, you have to wipe out this entire world; because in this fallen age of Kali,
most of the people are demoniac. You are the most compassionate friend of the
fallen. Please give me a chance. Allow me to take up this challenge. I will make them
chant the holy names of Krishna. These two are the foremost of the debauchees... If they
are delivered then Your name will be glorified. Your fame will reach unlimited bounds.
(They are already delivered, Nityananda. What do you mean?
I said that they are already delivered. But... how?
Haridasa, as soon as Nityananda has cast His glance upon them, they are delivered. Krishna
will take full care of them now. Hari bol!
Srivasa... please call Murari and Vakreshvara. Let us all go to the banks of Ganga, singing
the holy names of the Lord. Mukunda, Vasudeva please lead the kirtan.

What a cool breeze blows from the Ganges! Madhai Ö Are we flying in the sky? I am seeing
so many stars around. Jagai Ö I think so... look there Ö (pointing
at the reflection of moon in the river) the moon ñ are you seeing that?
Yeh Ö I will catch the moon...
You are completely drenched! Give me that pot. Iíve reached the moon!
Oh...citizens of the moon planet! Salute me Ö the great Jagai, who has just arrived on
the moon. You are indeed very great my dear Jagai! We,
the citizens of the moon, offer our humble obeisance to you.
Summon the society girls of this planet! I am eager to watch them dance for my pleasure.
Sure, my Lord. Heavenly pleasures... at your door step.

Go away Ö Hey Ö give it to us! No! It is my hard-earned money. I cannot give
it to you. If you do not want to lose your life, you
better give us your money... Help! Please save me!
Don't worry... I will save you. (laughs) Just give me that cash box. We will peacefully
go away from here.
Stop... Stop! Don't hurt him. Oh... your savior is here.
Madhai... he wants to save the shop keeper from us.
We should teach him a good lesson for poking his nose in our affairs.
Listen to me. Please Ö Yes my Master... we listen to you. Please
be kind upon us and teach us the right way to act. We surrender ourselves to you. Madhai
Ö fall at his feet. Surrender to him.
Dear brothers... please change your ways. We are simple devotees. We come to you as
loving friends with the message of the Supreme Lord. Lord Krishna is our loving master and
our first duty is to worship His lotus feet. Chant the holy names of Krishna. All your
sins will surely vanish.
Madhai... you hit me with an earthen pot, but I will give you love... the love of Godhead.
Please chant. You fool... what are you doing?
I am not going to leave him. He should be killed.
Brother... Please chant Krishna's names. Please chant...
Fool! Donít do that. He is not an ordinary person! He does not mind that you have struck
him and does not even protest! Leave me... Leave me... Give me that knife.
Nityananda Ö You shameless ruffians, you attack poor devotees and hurt them when they
try to help you! You should be punished for this....
Sudarshana ... Chakra! Chakra!
Sudarshana Ö these two brothers have hurt Me by hitting Nityananda. Kill them.
No my Lord.... You cannot do this! Please call the weapon back!
They should be killed! I beg you. You are the deliverer of the fallen
souls. Your mission is not to kill the demons but rather to kill their demoniac tendencies.
Yes. I am deliverer of fallen souls. I vanquish their sins. But not those who hurt the Vaishnavas.
I will vanquish them if they dare to touch My devotees.
No... Please rememberÖ You promised not to take up any weapons in this incarnation. Why
did You summon Sudarshana to burn them? Mercy my Lord! Please have mercy!
Please spare us... my Lord... Be kind to us! No... You have to be punished. You offended
Nityananda. Lord... please. I did not take any offense
at their mindless act. In fact, Jagai tried to save me from getting hurt. Please do not
punish them. Jagai saved you? All right... I will spare
Jagai! Mercy my Lord Ö Please have mercy on me too!
Madhai, your case is not as simple as that. By wounding Nityananda, you have inflicted
a wound on Me. Nityananda's body is more dear to me than My own.
Lord... I committed the most grievous sin. I am worthy of Your punishment... But my Lord,
please tell me how can I be saved? You are the Supreme Lord. Many demons were delivered
by You. Please deliver me. Please! (with tears in his eyes, he collapses)
Lord, Please show Your mercy to him! Madhai, go and fall at the feet of Nityananda.
Only by his mercy can you be saved today.
Both of you listen carefully, I have delivered you from all your sinful reactions accumulated
over many, many births. Now, if you do not engage further in any sinful activities, I
take full responsibility for your sinful lives. My Lord, You are the ocean of mercy. Although
born as brahmanas we have both fallen into the deepest well of sinful lives. Only by
your causless compassion have you lifted us out and given us a new life.
My Lord, I have inflicted pain on many souls. I dared to attack you with these blood tainted
hands. How will I atone for the sins I have committed?
Madhai Ö you heard what Lord Chaitanya said. He is taking the responsibilities of all your
sins. All that He wanted from you is a promise that you will not act sinfully anymore.
Lord... We will never commit any more sins. We promise you!
parama karuÎa, pahuÏ dui jana, nitai-gauracandra saba avatara-, sara-ÁiromaÎi, kevala ananda-kaÎÚa
Yamaraja Ö I told you they will never come under your jurisdiction... Have you understood
why? This is the power of the merciful glance of Nityananda.
Wonderful.... unbelievable! All the records we have maintained so far about the sinful
activities of these two brothers can be burnt to ashes!
I have never witnessed such an act of compassion before.
Maharaja Ö Maharaja Ö get some water! Quick! Summon the heavenly doctors immediately!
Chitragupta... Yamaraja is a pure devotee of the Lord and he is one of the great authorities
of devotional service. His fainting is due to the ecstasy he felt on seeing the compassion
of Lord Nityananda. This cannot be cured by any medicine. I know what needs to
be done. Yama-kiÏkaras Maharaja is moving...
