PLATE SEVEN

“Thus at the end of one night, Junior Haridasa, after
offering Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu his respectful obei-
sances, departed for Prayaga without saying anything
to anyone. Junior Haridasa had conclusively decided to
attain shelter at the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu. Thus he entered deep into the water at
Triveni, the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna at
Prayaga, and in this way gave up his life. Immediately
after committing suicide in this way, he went in his
spiritual body to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and
received the mercy of the Lord. However, he still
remained invisible. In a spiritual body resembling that
of a Gandharva, Junior Haridasa, although invisible,
would sing at night for Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to
hear. No one but the Lord, however, knew of this.”
