Teachings of Lord Chaitanya
Kshetra temple is the biggest of them all. The temple is full of beautiful sculpture, still wonderful for many students; and, on account of its popularity, it is a very rich temple. There is an inscription in the temple which states that the king of Vijynagar formerly decorated this temple with gold, and smeared the body of the deity with gold. For facilitating attendance at the temple there are free apartments for the visitors. The temple is managed by priests who belong to the sect of Ramanujacharya.
When Lord Chaitanya visited this temple He praised the deity, and He quoted a verse from  Srimad Bhagwatam : “Although Lord Nrishingha is very servere to the demons and the non-devotees, He is very kind to His submissive devotees like Prahlad.” Lord Nrishingha appeared as an incarnation of Krishna when Prahlad, a boy devotee of the Lord, was too much harassed by his father, Hiranya Kasipu. As the lion is very ferocious to other animals, but is very kind and submissive to his cubs, so Lord Nrishingha, although He appeared ferocious to Hiranya Kasipu, was very kind to Prahlad, His devotee.

Sitting in that way, the Lord saw that the governor of the province, Sri Ramananda Roy, had reached the bank of the river accompanied by his associates, many Brahmins, and a band party. The Lord had asked about Ramananda Roy, the governor of this province, from Sarbabhouma Bhattacharya, and the Lord was requested by Sarbabhouma Bhattacharya to see the great devotee Ramananda Roy at Kabur.
The Lord could understand that this man approaching was Ramananda Roy, and He wanted to see him immediately. But, because He was in the renounced order of life, He restrained Himself from seeing a person of political affairs. But Ramananda Roy, as a great devotee, was attracted by the Features of Lord Chaitanya as a Sannyasi, and he himself came to see Him. Ramananda Roy, on reaching Chaitanya, prostrated himself to offer Him obeisances and respect. Lord Chaitanya received him by vibrating  Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare/Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare . When Ramananda Roy presented his credentials, Lord Chaitanya embraced
