PLATE TWO

“One day when Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to visit the temple of
Lord Jagannatha, the gatekeeper at Sirmha-dvdra approached Him and
offered respectful obeisances. The Lord asked him, ‘Where is Krsna, My
lite and soul? Please show Me Krsna.’ Saying this, He caught the
doorkeeper’s hand. The doorkeeper replied, ‘The son of Maharaja Nanda
is here; please come along with me, and | shall show You.’ Lord Caitanya
said to the doorman, ‘You are My friend. Please show Me where the Lord
of My heart is.’ After the Lord said this, they both went to the place
known as Jagamohana, where everyone views Lord Jagannatha. ‘Just see!’
the doorkeeper said. ‘Here is the best of the Personalities of Godhead.
From here You may see the Lord to the full satisfaction of Your eyes.’ Sti
Caitanya Mahaprabhu stayed behind the huge column called the Garuda-
stambha and looked upon Lord Jagannatha, but as He looked He saw that
Lord Jagannatha had become Lord Krsna, with His flute to His mouth.”
