Madhya-lila Chapter 19: Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Instructs Srila Rupa Goswami

“These are Mahaprabhu’s teachings to Rupa Goswami and these teachings are about how one can engage oneself properly in devotional service, because what He’s really explaining to Rupa Goswami very nicely, is abhideya, the process of devotional service.”
–Srila B.P. Janardan Maharaj

vrindavaniyam rasa-keli-vartam
kalena luptam nija-saktim utkah

sancarya rupe vyatanot punah sa

prabhur vidhau prag iva loka-srishtim

     (Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita: Madhya-lila 19.1)

“Before the creation of this cosmic manifestation, the Lord enlightened the heart of Lord Brahma with the details of the creation and manifested the Vedic knowledge. In exactly the same way, the Lord, being anxious to revive the Vrindavan pastimes of Lord Krishna, impregnated the heart of Rupa Goswami with spiritual potency. By this potency, Srila Rupa Goswami could revive the activities of Krishna in Vrindavan, activities almost lost to memory. In this way, He spread Krishna consciousness throughout the world.”
