Why has the Lord appeared suddenly with golden complexion and with golden dress just like the morning sun? Why has He come in the middle of springtime as everything feels so beautiful and wonderful?

I cannot understand why, but all the trees, plants and creepers are full of fruits and flowers and they are making song and dance with Mahāprabhu.

I am very fallen and unqualified. Why is this sound vibration coming to me, and why am I getting inspiration through it. Those who have high caste, vast knowledge and material wealth, they have so much ego and pride. Why are they suffering?

The sky and the air are so beautiful in the spring season, and they are naturally nourishing and inspiring everybody. In the same way the sound vibration of the devotees spreads everywhere automatically as they distribute Krishna’s Name.

What a remarkable sound is heard in all directions bringing jubilation to all the people. The devotees chant the divine Names “Hare, Krishna, Rāma,” and the transcendental abode manifests. Chant Hari Hari Hari!

On His holy appearance day, the festival of Holly takes place. All the devotees are chanting as well as all the Hindus. No-one can understand the feeling and the substance that comes within the heart from that saṅkīrtan.

As the sunset approaches, the sun shines on the mountain illuminating it like it has golden ornaments. This is especially so in the springtime. Then as the moon rises it also beautifies that mountain with its rays.

The blue sky is covered by the Golden Moon and when the devotees glorify the Lord with their discussions, no other conception or motive can exist other than Krishna consciousness. At that time, prema, divine love descends automatically without any impediment.

Everyone who engages in this nāma saṅkīrtan of Mahāprabhu, comes to enquire sincerely and to know the innermost secret of the Lord’s bluish colour absorbed by his golden features. This is the hidden incarnation of the Lord and the concealed feature of His form is that he is tasting the threefold relish of Śrī Rādhā.

- ithe heno stuti rādhā-bhāva dyuti

- udilo gaurāṅga nāma-prema saṅga
- jaya jaya gorā gāo

Thus I pray to the dark cowherd Śyāmasundar who has taken the mood and effulgence of Śrī Rādhā. That Lord, Śrī Chaitanya appeared with the chanting of the pure divine name; everyone chant the glories of that Golden Lord, Śrī Chaitanya Mahāprabhu.
