Having shown the verse to Svaripa Damodara with great wonder,
Caitanya Mahaprabhu asked him how Ripa Gosvami could understand
the intentions of His mind.
PURPORT
We had the opportunity to receive a similar blessing from Srila Bhakti-
siddhanta Sarasvati Gosvami when we presented an essay at his birthday
ceremony. He was so pleased with that essay that he used to call some of his
confidential devotees and show it to them. How could we have understood
the intentions of Srila Prabhupada?
