MERCY III

...ONE DAY......

...Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu went on the banks of Ganga on the bathing ghats. That day Jagai and Madhai were camping there.... which is very close to the house of Shrivas Pandit where Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was singing and chanting and dancing. So Gauranga Mahaprabhu went close to jagai and madhai. He was not afraid but that is a very dangerous situation because people then, they didn't mention to go to Jagai and Madhai because they could do anything. So Chaitanya Mahaprabhu went close to Jagai and Madhai and Jagai and Madhai looked to Chaitanya and said "Can you teach us the song which you were singing in Shrivasa's house in the praise of Durga and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu didn't even respond... because that wasn't in praise of Durga that was in praise of Krishna. *HA HA HA......

...

THE MOST MERCIFUL! SHRI NITYANANDA PRABHU💙...

...That evening something very interesting happened, which is narrated forever, it is a historical narration Hari Bol !...

...That evening Nityananda Prabhu exactly went to the lake where Jagai and Madhai was shouting. They were again in their semi ill clad semi drunk, intoxicated situation with filthy words filling their mouths, and eyes rolling in total intoxication......

...Nityananda prabhu went near to Jagai and Madhai and said '' Jagai and Madhai... please understand... You are the part and parcel of Krishna... We're all the part and parcel of Krishna. And the only way the soul can be happy is by reconnecting with Krishna... you cannot find happiness in this world... it is only possible by reconnecting with Krishna....

...As soon as Nityananda Prabhu said this... Madhai lost his cool. He was drinking liquor from a half broken clay pot. And as soon as he heard Nityananda Prabhu's preaching for the second time.. he lost his cool. It is described, when you give milk to the snake, all that happens is its poison increases. Nityananda Prabhu was giving the most eternal instruction as the ever well wishing friend... And Madhai took his half broken liquor claypot and SMASHED on the forehead of Nithyananda.................. and Nithyananda whose body is completely transcendental, who is beyond the three modes[The three modes of material nature in which any human being acts: i.e. either in the mide of goodness or passion or ignorance]... he who is the source of all sources, he who is the supreme personality of godhead, who is falling on his hands and feet out of Mercy... he started bleeding profusely....

...There was blood all over his face. There was a cut just above his eyebrow and it was drenching his clothes. Madhai looked at Nithyananda and Nithyananda smiled looking at Madhai and he said something very interesting, he said "the pain that you are inflicting on Yourself by not being Krishna conscious is a way more than the pain that you have just inflicted on me. O Madhai... I again fall at your feet... please take the process of chanting!...

...And Madhai lost his cool again. He picked up another pot '' HOW DARE YOU...? YOU CONTINUE PREACHING... YOU NONSENSE!..." Jagai's heart melted. He stopped Madhai and said '' Hey... DON'T YOU SEE...don't you see..? He's so merciful. There is no saint, no renunciant ...who has ever approached like this and you... you... slam him.. you.. hit him.. and he still continues to smile and lovingly and compassionately help you.... Please Madhai.. don't hit him. He's our friend.''...

...And by then... This news had reached to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and he rushed to the spot ...as soon as he realised that his dear servant Nithyananda was bleeding... Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu rushed to the spot. He looked into the eyes of Jagai and Madhai and in an uproaring sound said "I AM THE SUPREME PERSONALITY OF GODHEAD... Yama, the god of death, he dances at my feet. Lord Shiva, The Lord of destruction, he is my servant... and anyone who criticizes, who blasphems... and people like you who insult and harm my devotees, will see me as death personified.'' And in this mood Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, he invoked the Sudarshan Chakra and the Sudarshan Chakra was spinning faster than anything else, ready to cut the head of Madhai. w...

...When Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu decided to cut Madhai's head from his body... Nityananda Prabhu fell at his feet of Gauranga ''oh Mahaprabhu... please... please... take your Sudarshan Chakra back... ahh.. um.. let me tell you... they didn't hit me ... ah...they were trying to throw it somewhere else.. by mistake it hit me , and... but... it didn't hurt me, look I'm smiling''...

...Gauranga said "You are bleeding... O Nitai...'' Nityananda said ''oh Mahaprabhu ...I beg you ..if in any of my lives ...I have served you in any capacity... in return I ask... I ask you only one benediction , please forgive them ...let all their sins come to me... let all my good deeds go to them... you may punish me, but uplift them ...this is my only Desire....''...

...And an insignificant infinitedecimal Jiva throws a claypot and hurts the supreme Lord (Both Lord Balaram and Lord Krishna are the Supreme Personality of Godhead. The only difference between them as Prabhupāda says is their complexion, Krishna having a bluish black complexion like a newly blossomed Blue lotus and Balaram has a fair complexion like the colour of a crystal. And the second diffrence is their Mood. Both having same potency, same power, same ability, oplulences, in the beauty that they posses, renunciant, fame, wealth, but there is one fundamental difference. Krishna is the Supreme personality of Godhead in the mood of accepting service. Whereas Balarama is the Supreme personality of Godhead in the mode of giving service) because of whom his very existence is possible... and that Supreme Lord out of Mercy, he begs for his life. This has never happened. When Surpanakha attacked, Lakshmana cut her nose and ears. When Prahlambasura attacked, Balrama Broke His Head out. When Dhenukasura attacked, Balram threw him into the Tall trees. But when Madhai attacked, Nityananda Prabhu begged for his forgiveness, he begged for his life....

...Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, he looked at Madhai and then Nithyananda continued. He said '' In fact my lord... it was Jagai... who saved my life. When Madhau tried to attack again, Jagai came and rescued me...He protected me.''...

...Gauranga heard this and he called Jagai ''You protected my Nithyananda... you've protected My Greatest Devotee... today in front of everyone as witness I bless you with eternal love of God...''...

...He who was the most following a few minutes ago, now started becoming the greatest devotee. He approached the feets of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu embraced Jagai. And Jagai started trembling, starting horror fleeting, he started shivering and tears coming out his eyes, and hairs standing on end...his teeth clattering and his throat started faltering... and in this mood of pure love of God, he was chanting the names of Krishna....

...Seeing this, Madhai fell at the feet of Gauranga. He said in a humble sound''Jagai and I... we always sinned together. And in all the sins we were team partners..... and you Uplift him and give him Pure Love Of God ...please forgive me too.''...

...Gauranga said '' IMPOSSIBLE...I-will-never-forgive-you. You-will-never-get-my-mercy... if you really want Mercy, then fall at the feet of Nithyananda and beg for his Mercy. Anyone who hurts me, criticizes me, might get my Mercy ...but anyone who offends my devotees.................. FORGET IT. ''...

...Krishna says 'madbhakta pujya bhyadhika' meaning ''the worship of my devotees, is greater than my worship.''...

...Madhai fell at the feet of Nityananda and in the first go Nityananda smiled, and picked him up. And said ''Promise me, that you will never sin again. Because you never committed Vaishnav Apradh... because you never met Vaishnavas. And you never committed Naam Apradh ....because you never chanted the holy name. I-forgive-you!!!....''...

...{Vaishnav apradh - If you disrespect, defame, insult or treat vaishnavas without care and humblemess, you commit Vaishnav apradh....

...Naam apradh - If you commit offenses towards the holy name, you commit naam apradh.}...

...And as soon as Jagai and Madhai were embraced by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda, the devotees loudly said "HARI BOL!! "...

...IN THE ASSOCIATION OF THE DEVOTEES... IN THE ASSEMBLY, JAGAI AND MADHAI STARTED JUMPING AND CHANTING THE HOLY NAME......

..."HARE KRISHNA, HARE KRISHNA, KRISHNA KRISHNA, HARE HARE.... HARE RAMA HARE RAMA RAMA RAMA HARE HARE..!''🙌...

...KRISHNA SEES OUR SINS MORE CLEARLY THAN ANYONE YET HE LOVES US MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE....
