Chaitanya, The Golden Avatar
Page 97 of 103

Such is the power of the chanting of the Holy Name that it gradually establishes its supremacy over everything in this world.

The devotee who practices this song, establishes himself in spiritual bliss and as a result, sometimes laughs, cries and in ecstasy. It happens that beings of little intelligence oppose the chanting of the Maha-mantra Hare Krishna, but one who bathes in the love of God chants the Holy Name aloud for the good of all concerned. As a result, all become initiated into the chanting of the Holy Names;

Hare Krishna, hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, hare hare / Hare Rama, hare Rama, Rama Rama, hare hare.

And through chanting and listening to the Holy Names of Krishna, a person can remember his forms and attributes.

Lord Chaitanya performs miracles.

The Lord has performed countless miracles, so I am only listing a few for you here.

During one of his childhood entertainments, still a baby, crawling in the courtyard of the family home, a snake approaches Him. The Lord begins to play with the reptile, filling the whole household with fear and emotion. But after a few moments of play, the snake moves away, the child is carried away by its mother, reassured.

Another time, a thief, tempted by the jewels that adorn her body, kidnaps her. The plea looks for a lonely place where he can strip the young child, but he gets lost, turns in circles and finally finds himself in front of the house of Jagannatha Misra, his father. Frightened, fearing to be caught, he immediately abandons the child and flees. Of course, parents and friends are overjoyed when they see the lost child again, for whom the adventure was the occasion of a joyful ride on the thief's shoulders.

One day a pilgrim, a wise scholar, is received into his father's house. As he prepares to make a food offering to God, the young Chaitanya comes forward and begins to taste the dishes prepared for this purpose. The child has touched the sacred food, the latter can therefore no longer be offered as a sacrifice, and the sage must prepare a new offering. But the same incident occurs a second and then a third time, after which the child Chaitanya is put to bed. Around midnight, when the whole household is sleeping a deep sleep and all the rooms are closed, our wise scholar begins to repeat the offering to God, but there again, the child arrives and ruins the sacrifice. The wise pilgrim then begins to cry, but everyone is asleep, and no one hears him. Then the child, none other than the Lord Himself, shows himself to the fortunate sage as He is, in his Krishna form, thus revealing to him his true identity. But He forbids the wise scholar to reveal what he has seen, and He Himself returns to his mother.
