When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu came to Govardhan, He ran and embraced the first stone that He saw. He embraced Him with so much devotion and affection, His eyes were streaming tears of love.
Govardhan is non-different from Krishna. His body is Krishna’s body there is absolutely no difference. But our acaryas warn us that we should never remove any Govardhan sila from Govardhan hill unless we are paramahamsas or unless it’s specifically under the orders and blessings of the acaryas.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was seeing Krishna’s three fold bending form with all His opulence in each of these silas. He did the parikrama of Giriraj, following in the footsteps of His paramguru Madhavenrda Puri. One sannyasi gave Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu a Govardhan sila. When Lord Caitanya was living in Jagannath Puri, He wore that sila over His heart around His neck and was constantly wet with His tears.

Thanks for sharing wonderful pastimes of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu
Amazing
Pure Love 🙂 One touching point is that Radhanath Swami comes at the level of every one of us to explain what lessons we should take from each place and what mood one must cultivate to become pure in consciousness. Bhakti has become so much more easier now. Thank you so very much!
Chaitanya Mahaprabhu taught each one of us that how we should be so personal in our approach to Lord.
Thank you Radhanath Swami for sharing this !
Very nice learning.
Lord Chaitanya has revealed to the world real opulence of Shridham Vrindavan. If we can get a glimpse of what He wanted to show all of us, then our lives would be successful.
Yes I do agree.
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu through His personal actions displayed us how a loving devotional service to The God is.By embracing Govardhan sila He has shown us that Govardhan Hill is non different than God Krishna.
Yes Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is teaching us the highest example of how to worship Lord Krishna.
Very instructive article……

The price for the love of God is tears only. All glories to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. All glories to HH Radhanatha Svami Maharaja.
We must aspire to be similarly absorbed in love for the Lord
Thank you Maharaj for giving this information about not to remove Govardhan silas. One need to be cautious about one’s conduct in dhams. This website gives us direct association of Maharaj instructing and guiding our conduct in dhams. All glories to http://www.radhanathswamiyatras.com.
