The Advent of Lord Caitanya

are very advanced in austerity and penance or even though they are great philosophers, are unable to understand Him."
Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Thākura next quotes Śrīpāda Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa, who refers to the prayers offered by the demigods to Lord Kṛṣṇa in the womb of Devakī and summarizes the birth of Kṛṣṇa as follows: "As the rising moon manifests light in the east, so Devakī, who was always situated on the transcendental platform, having been initiated in the Kṛṣṇa  mantra  by Vasudeva, the son of Śūrasena, kept Kṛṣṇa within her heart." From this statement of Śrīmad- Bhāgavatam  (10.2.18) it is understood that the Supreme Personality of Godhead, having been transferred from the heart of Ānakadundubhi, or Vasudeva, manifested Himself in the heart of Devakī. According to Śrīla Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa, the "heart of Devakī" means the womb of Devakī because in the Śrīmad- Bhāgavatam , Tenth Canto, Second Chapter, verse 41, the demigods say,  dīṣṭyāmba te kukṣi-gataḥ paraḥ pumān : "Mother Devakī, the Lord is already within your womb." Therefore, that the Lord was transferred from the heart of Vasudeva to the heart of Devakī means that He was transferred to the womb of Devakī.
Similarly, in regard to the appearance of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu as described in the  Caitanya-caritāmṛta , the words  viśeṣe sevana kare govinda-caraṇa , "they specifically began to worship the lotus feet of Govinda," indicate that exactly as Kṛṣṇa appeared in the heart of Devakī through the heart of Vasudeva, so Lord Caitanya appeared in the heart of Śacīdevī through the heart of Jagannātha Miśra. This is the mystery of the appearance of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Consequently, one should not think of Lord Caitanya's appearance as that of a common man or living entity. This subject matter is a little difficult to understand, but for devotees of the Lord it will not at all be difficult to realize the statements given by Kṛṣṇadāsa Kavirāja Gosvāmī.
