Chaitanya, The Golden Avatar
Page 98 of 103

During his family life, Lord Chaitanya did not perform as many miracles as one might expect from such a character. However, one day in the house of Srinivasa Thakura, He performed a great wonder. The glorification of the Supreme Lord through the chanting of the Holy Names of Krishna is at its peak, when the Lord asks His devotees what they want to eat. Mangoes, they replied. Lord Chaitanya then asks for a mango kernel to be brought to Him, although the fruit is out of season. The kernel is brought to Him, which He plants in the courtyard of Srinivasa. Immediately a young shoot appears from the pit, which in no time becomes an adult mango tree loaded with more ripe fruit than the holy beings gathered together could eat. This tree remained in the courtyard of Srinivasa, and the holy beings, the devotees of the Lord, could gather there at any time as much fruit as they wanted.

Going one day to Kurmaksetra, He performed a miracle by healing a leper.

He performs a second miracle by immediately making disappear, as soon as He touches them, the seven tals pierced by the arrow of Ramacandra, the son of Dasharath, arrow which also put an end to the days of the great Raj Vali.

In Benares, Chaitanya speaks with the devout Krishna scholars of the city, at the home of a wise scholar from Maharastra, who had invited them all. He performed a miracle thus fascinating all the devotees assembled there. It is impossible, even for learned scholars, to oppose the Lord for long, for some magic in Him touches their hearts, causing them to burst into tears for their greater spiritual good. The devotees of Benares soon fall at Chaitanya's feet, imploring his grace. Chaitanya then teaches them pure devotional service and instills in their hearts a spiritual love for Krishna which prompts them to let go of all sectarianism. After this marvelous conversion, all the inhabitants of Bénares become devotees of the Lord and celebrate with great scope the song of the Holy Names of Krishna with their new Lord.

The miracles of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu performed in puri.

During the festival of chariots held in honor of Lord Jagannath [an emanation of Krishna. Jagannath means, Lord of the Universe] at the temple of Puri, the game was to move a chariot.

The faithful tried unsuccessfully to get him to move, despite the many methods employed. Many people had ropes tied to the front of the tank in order to tow it, but despite their efforts, the vehicle did not move at all. So the king chose great wrestlers to move the chariot, but they did not succeed. Then he ordered the mahouts to ask the elephants to pull the chariot, but even the latter still failed to move the vehicle.

But when Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu went to the back of the chariot and pushed it lightly with his head, the vehicle started to roll on the road, it was moving on its own. Lord Chaitanya slightly pushed the vehicle, which immediately began to move to the delight of the faithful.

Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya, a wise scholar, despite his position had an oversized ego and very great pride in himself. He did not have much opinion on ChaitanyaMahaprabhu and took him for a simple stupid beggar.
