1|Antya 2-1975: The Chastisement of Junior Haridasa
2|Chapter 2
3|The Chastisement of Junior Haridasa
4|The purport of this chapter is explained by Srila
>|Bhaktivinoda Thakura in his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya as follows.
>| Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami, the author of Sri Caitanya-
>|caritamrta, wanted to explain direct meetings with Sri
>|Caitanya Mahaprabhu, meetings with those empowered by Him,
>|and His avirbhava appearance. Thus he described the glories
>|of Nrsimhananda and other devotees. A devotee named
>|Bhagavan Acarya was exceptionally faithful to the lotus
>|feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Nevertheless, his brother,
>|Gopala Bhatta Acarya, discoursed upon the commentary of
>|impersonalism (Mayavada). Srila Svarupa Damodara Gosvami,
>|the secretary of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, forbid Bhagavan
>|Acarya to indulge in hearing that commentary. Later, when
>|Junior Haridasa, following the order of Bhagavan Acarya,
>|went to collect alms from Madhavidevi, he committed an
>|offense by talking intimately with a woman although he was
>|in the renounced order. Because of this, Sri Caitanya
>|Mahaprabhu rejected Junior Haridasa, and despite all the
>|requests of the Lord's stalwart devotees, the Lord did not
>|accept him again. One year after this incident, Junior
>|Haridasa went to the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna
>|and committed suicide. In his spiritual body, however, he
>|continued to sing devotional songs, and Sri Caitanya
>|Mahaprabhu heard them. When the Vaisnavas of Bengal went to
>|see Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, these incidents became known
>|to Svarupa Damodara and others.

289|Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura explains the Gaura-gopala mantra
>|in his Amrta-pravaha-bhasya. Worshipers of Sri Gaurasundara
>|accept the four syllables gau-ra-an-ga as the Gaura mantra,
>|but pure worshipers of Radha and Krsna accept the four
