“Srila Govinda Maharaj has called this [meeting between Srila Rupa Goswami and Sriman Mahaprabhu in Jagannath Puri] “the examination hall of Srila Rupa Goswami.” Rupa Goswami was asked so many questions in a very beautiful and expert way by Ramananda Ray who knows so much about drama and is himself a presenter of literature. He asks Rupa Goswami questions and Rupa Goswami gives so many beautiful answers reciting his Vidagdha Madhava and Lalita Madhava. Srila Govinda Maharaj called this the “examination hall” and obviously Rupa Goswami passes that examination by Mahaprabhu’s arrangement. Mahaprabhu wanted to show the highest ability [of Rupa Goswami] and that examination hall was to ask all the devotees to bless Srila Rupa Gowami as the leader of the sampradaya. Effectively that is what has happened.”

–Srila Janardan Maharaj
