Otros Pasatiempos del Senor Nityananda del Bhakti Ratnakara por srila Narahari Chakravarti
Pasatiempos de Sri Nityananda en Panihati Nityananda Prabhu y Sus cercanos asociados primero viajaron a la aldea de Panihati. A su arrivo, Raghava Pandita, Makaradwaja Kar y otros les dieron la bienvenida felizmente. Quien podría describir la maravillosa admosfera creada en la casa de Raghava Pandita cuando Nityananda y Sus seguidores bailaron y desarrollaron sankirtana. Narahari escribió algunas canciones describiendo la belleza de Nitai en la casa de of Raghava: Oh cuan maravilloso fue Nitaichand cuando bailo elegantemente, llorando jubilosamente con Sus manos levantadas muy alto y continuamente pronunciando el nombre de Gaura. Nityananda Prabhu libremente distribuyo Su misericordia a las sufridas almas condicionadas, otorgándoles la valiosa joya del amor devocional. En ese momento se celebro el festival del abhiseka de Sri Nityananda. Algunos de los seguidores de Nityananda le condujeron al trono celestial y le Bañaron con agua del Ganges con esencias, mientras los demás cantaban dulces canciones. Narahari trajo ropas nuevas para Nitaicanda, untando Su cuerpo con pasta de sándalo y colocando una guirnalda de flores sobre Su cuello, mientras que Sri Raghavananda sostenía una sombrilla sobre su cabeza. Nityananda entonces le dijo a Shri Raghava, "Me gustaría portar una guirnalda de flores kadamba”. “Pero no es la temporada para Kadamba”, Raghava contesto. Nityananda señalo a un árbol y dijo, “dirigete al arbol y seguramente encontraras flores kadamba”. De esa forma Raghava fue hacia el arbol Jamvsia señalado y para su sorpresa, encontró flores kadamba floreciendo. Raghava con placer corto las flores, preparo una bella guirnalda y la coloco alrededor del cuello de Nityananda. Prabhu entonces indico a todos siempre adorar al Senor Krishna. Esta descrito en Shri Chaitanya Bhagavata, Antya Khanda 5/303: “De acuerdo con los Bhagavatas, Shri Nityananda Prabhu otorgo sobre todo el mundo la misma devoción que tienen las gopikas” Un día, Nityananda expreso Su deseo de portar ornamentos y Sus seguidores felizmente trajeron bellas joyas y Le decoraron exquisitamente. El significado especifico aparte de este deseo fue que una vez, cuando Nityananda Prabhu estaba viajando como un avadhuta a traves de Vraja, El otorgo Su misericordia sobre un devoto en Govardhana. Ese devoto quizo decorar a Nityananda con algunos ornamentos y Prabhu sosteniéndole le dijo, “ahora no”. Asi, para satisfacer el deseo de Su devoto, Él ordeno a sus seguidores preparar una dorada Govardana Sila para él, la cual se lo coloco alrededor de su cuello. Quien puede entender los pasatiempos de Nityananda Prabhu, quien amo a Sus devotos cariñosamente?. Esto esta descrito en Shri Chaitanya Bhagavata, Antya Khanda (5/418-19): "La modalidad de la devosion a Krishna la cual es deseada aun por Brhama y otros exaltados seres, y el amor por Krishna el cual aun las gopikas desearon poseer, fue dado libremente por Nityananda a todos los brhamanas”.
Other Pastimes of Lord Nityananda From Bhakti Ratnakara by Shrila Narahari Chakravarti
Shri Nityananda Prabhu's pastimes in Panihati.
Nityananda Prabhu and His close associates first traveled to the village of Panihati. Upon their arrival, Raghava Pandita, Makaradwaja Kar and others greeted them happily. Who could describe the wonderful atmosphere created in the house of Raghava Pandita as Nityananda and His followers danced and performed sankirtana. Narahari has written some songs describing the beauty of Nitai in the house of Raghava: Oh how gorgeous was Nitaichand as He danced elegantly, crying joyfully He lifted His hands high and continuously uttered the name of Gaura. Nityananda Prabhu freely distributed His mercy to the distressed conditioned souls, bestowing upon them the valuable jewel of devotional love. At that time the festival of Shri Nityananda's abhiseka was held. Some of the followers of Nityananda placed Him on a celestial throne and bathed Him with scented Ganges water, as others sang sweet songs. Narahari brought new clothes for Nitaicanda, smeared His body with sandalwood paste and placed a flower garland around His neck, while Shri Raghavananda held an umbrella over His head. Nityananda then told Shri Raghava, "I would like to wear a garland of kadamba flowers." "But it is not the season for kadamba," Raghava replied. Nityananda pointed to a tree and said, "Go to that tree and surely you will find kadamba flowers. Raghava went to the Jamvsia tree indicated and, to his surprise, found that kadamba flowers were blooming there. Raghava gladly plucked the kadamba flowers, prepared a beautiful garland and placed it around Nityananda Prabhu's neck. Prabhu then advised everyone to always worship Lord Krishna. This is described in Shri Chaitanya Bhagavata, Antya Khanda 5/303: "According to the Bhagavatas, Shri Nityananda Prabhu bestowed upon the world the same devotionhich the gopikas possessed."
One day, Nityananda expressed His desire to wear ornaments and His followers happily brought beautiful jewelry and decorated Him exquisitely. The specific purpose behind this desire was that once, when Nityananda Prabhu was traveling as an avadhuta throughout Vraja, He bestowed His mercy upon a devotee in Govardhana. That devotee had wanted to decorate Nityananda with some ornaments and Prabhu had told him, "Not now." Thus, in order to fulfill the desire of His devotee, He now ordered His followers to prepare a gold plated Govardhana sila for Him, which He wore around His neck. Who can understand the pastimes of Nityananda Prabhu, who loved His devotees dearly? This is described in Shri Chaitanya Bhagavata, Antya Khanda (5/418-19): "The mood of devotion to Krishna which is desired even by Brahma and other exalted beings, and the love for Krishna which even the gopikas desired to possess, was given freely by Nityananda to all of the brahmanas."
