PLATE FIVE

“Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu then visited a place with-
in the forest called Saptatala. All the trees there were
very old, very bulky and very high. After seeing the
seven palm trees, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu embraced
them. As a result, they all returned to Vaikunthaloka,
the spiritual world. After the seven palm trees departed
for the Vaikunthas, everyone was astonished to see
them gone. The people then began to say, ‘This san-
nydasi called Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu must be an incar-
nation of Lord Ramacandra. Only Lord Ramacandra has
the power to send seven palm trees to the spiritual
Vaikuntha planets.’ ’ (pp.87-82)
