As he grew a little older, this longing to go to Vrindavan became more and more intensified. He would cry longing for the mercy of the Lord and all of His associates. One night he had a vision of Lord Caitanya and His associates performing an ecstatic harinam sankirtan. Suddenly the dream ended and Jiva Goswami woke up. He wanted to be back there in the spiritual world with the Lord. It was as if some one in poverty for many years had been given huge amounts of wealth and then all of a sudden the entire wealth was lost. Jiva Goswami was yearning and longing for the dream to carry on and he fell unconscious. Then he had another vision. His deities of Krishna Balarama, mercifully glancing upon Jiva Goswami, transformed into Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda. Lord Caitanya spoke to Jiva Goswami, “I am entrusting you under the care of Lord Nityananda. From this day on you are His property.” Lord Nityananda spoke to Jiva Goswami, “It is My wish that you make Lord Caitanya your life and soul, your everything”, and then the dream ended. From that day there was nothing that could keep Jiva Goswami home.

Dreams of the pure devotees are most illustrative.They teach us lot of things.Nice article.

Srila Jiva Gosvami is the most fortunate as he was under the care of Sri Nityananda Prabhu. All glories to followers of Caitanya Mahaprabhu
Jiva Goswami was so lucky to be chosen by the Lord showing his unlimited mercy.
All Glories to Srila Jiva Goswami !

As he grew a little older, this longing to go to Vrindavan became more and more intensified. He would cry longing for the mercy of the Lord and all of His associates. This is great !!
Transcendental dream for a transcendental personality. Very well narrated.
Thank you very much.
Radhanath Swami Maharaj narrates in such a way that the audience is captivated.
Such a blessing from Lord in dream. Longing and intense desire of Jiva Gosvami is exceptional. Amazing pastime! Amazing surrender!
Isn’t this also our story in some sense?
Jiva Goswami represents the spirit soul,
Lord Chaitanya is the is the Supreme Lord whom the soul actually longs to meet but is unable to reunite with Him all by himself
and Sri Nityanand prabhu is whom the bonafide spiritual master represents,
and urges the soul to make Lord chaitnaya his very life, his everything.
Its amazingly instructive.
Lord Nityananda is Lord Balaram Himself. He is adi guru, The Supreme Spiritual master. Lord gives us in the hands of His pure devotees and His pure devotees instruct us to make Him our life and soul. His pure devotees have no selfish desires other than serving the Lord. Very nice…
Radhanath swami is so expertly instructing us all through his lectures, actions to make Lord Krsna as our object of life.
Thank you very much.
