PLATE FOUR

“When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu danced and jumped high, roaring like
thunder and moving in a circle like a wheel, He appeared like a circling
firebrand. Wherever Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu stepped while dancing, the
whole earth, with its hills and seas, appeared to tilt. When Caitanya
Mahaprabhu danced, He displayed various, blissful transcendental
changes in His body. Sometimes He appeared as though stunned. Some-
times the hairs of His body stood on end. Sometimes He perspired, cried,
trembled and changed color, and sometimes He exhibited symptoms of
helplessness, pride, exuberance and humility. Nityananda Prabhu would
stretch out His two hands and try to catch the Lord when He was running
here and there. Advaita Acarya would walk behind the Lord and loudly
chant, ‘Hari bol! Hari bol!’ again and again.” (pp.755-157)
