1|Madhya 10-1975: The Lord's Return to Jagannatha Puri
2|Chapter 10
3|The Lord's Return to Jagannatha Puri
4|While Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was traveling in South India,
>|Sarvabhauma the Bhattacarya had many talks with King
>|Prataparudra. When Maharaja Prataparudra requested the
>|Bhattacarya to arrange an interview with the Lord, the
>|Bhattacarya assured him that he would try to do so as soon
>|as Caitanya Mahaprabhu returned from South India. When the
>|Lord returned to Jagannatha Puri from His South Indian tour,
>| He lived at the home of Kasi Misra. Sarvabhauma
>|Bhattacarya introduced many Vaisnavas to Sri Caitanya
>|Mahaprabhu after His return. The father of Ramananda Raya,
>|Bhavananda Raya, offered another son named Vaninatha
>|Pattanayaka for the Lord's service. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
>|informed His associates about the pollution of Krsnadasa
>|brought about by his association with the Bhattatharis, and
>|thus the Lord proposed to give him leave. Nityananda Prabhu
>|sent Krsnadasa to Bengal to inform the Navadvipa devotees
>|about the Lord's return to Jagannatha Puri. All the
>|devotees of Navadvipa thus began arranging to come to
>|Jagannatha Puri. At this time Paramananda Puri was at
>|Navadvipa, and immediately upon hearing news of the Lord's
>|return, he started for Jagannatha Puri accompanied by a
>|brahmana named Kamalakanta. Purusottama Bhattacarya, a
>|resident of Navadvipa, was educated at Varanasi. He
>|accepted the renounced order from Caitanyananda, but he
>|took the name of Svarupa. Thus he arrived at the lotus feet
>|of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. After the demise of Sri Isvara
>|Puri, his disciple Govinda, following his instructions,
>|went to see Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Due to his relationship
>|with Kesava Bharati, Brahmananda Bharati was also
>|respectfully received by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. When he
>|arrived at Jagannatha Puri, he was advised to give up the
>|deerskin clothing he wore. When Brahmananda understood Sri
>|Caitanya Mahaprabhu correctly, he accepted Him as Krsna
>|himself. However, when Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya addressed
>|Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu as Krsna, the Lord immediately
>|protested. In the meantime, Kasisvara Gosvami also came to
>|see Caitanya Mahaprabhu. In this chapter, devotees from
>|many different areas come to see Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and
>|they are exactly like many rivers that come from many
>|places to finally flow into the sea.

169|Sarvabhauma Bhattacarya was a brahmana and a realized soul,

>|In this way the brahmanas, ksatriyas, vaisyas and sudras
>|used to live cooperatively, performing their respective
>|duties. Consequently society was peaceful, and people were
>|able to discharge the duties of Krsna consciousness. Thus
>|they were happy in this life and able to return home, back

224|PURPORT
225|In this verse the word prabhupada, referring to Sri
>|Caitanya Mahaprabhu, is significant. Regarding this, Srila
>|Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami Prabhupada comments, "Sri
>|Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the Supreme Personality of Godhead
>|Himself, Sri Krsna, and all His servants address Him as
>|Prabhupada. This means that there are many prabhus taking
>|shelter under His lotus feet." The pure Vaisnava is
>|addressed as prabhu, and this address is an etiquette
>|observed between Vaisnavas. When many prabhus remain under
>|the shelter of the lotus feet of another prabhu, the
>|address Prabhupada is given. Sri Nityananda Prabhu and Sri
>|Advaita Prabhu are also addressed as Prabhupada. Sri
>|Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Sri Advaita Prabhu and Sri Nityananda
>|Prabhu are all visnu-tattva, the Supreme Personality of
>|Godhead, Lord Visnu. Therefore all living entities are
>|under Their lotus feet. Lord Visnu is the eternal Lord of
>|everyone, and the representative of Lord Visnu is the Lord'
>|s confidential servant. Such a person acts as the spiritual
>|master for neophyte Vaisnavas; therefore the spiritual
>|master is as respectable as Sri Krsna Caitanya or Lord
>|Visnu Himself. For this reason the spiritual master is
>|addressed as Om Visnupada or Prabhupada. The acarya, the
>|spiritual master, is generally respected by others as
>|Sripada, and the initiated Vaisnavas are addressed as
>|Prabhu. Prabhu, Prabhupada and Visnupada are described in
>|revealed scriptures like Srimad-Bhagavatam, Caitanya-
>|caritamrta and Caitanya-bhagavata. In this regard, these
>|scriptures present evidence accepted by unalloyed devotees.
226|The prakrta-sahajiyas are not even worthy of being called
>|Vaisnavas. They think that only caste gosvamis should be
>|called Prabhupada. Such ignorant sahajiyas call themselves
>|vaisnava-dasa-anudasa, which means the servant of the
>|servant of the Vaisnavas. However, they
>|are opposed to addressing a pure Vaisnava as Prabhupada. In
>|other words, they are envious of a bona fide spiritual
>|master who is addressed as Prabhupada, and they commit
>|offenses by considering a bona fide spiritual master an
>|ordinary human being or a member of a certain caste. Srila
>|Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura describes such sahajiyas
>|as most unfortunate. Because of their misconceptions, they
>|fall into a hellish condition.
