Day 496 | CC Madhya 10.112-113 | The Lord’s Return to Jagannātha Purī | 8 JUNE 2026

ONE SHOULD AVOID BHAKTI SIDDHANTA VIRUDDHA AND RASABHASA, OTHERWISE THEY CAN FALL DOWN FROM DEVOTIONAL PLATFORM AND BECOME SAHAJIYAS. SVARUPA DAMODAR GOSVAMI WOULD EXAMINE THE LIERATURE BEFORE IT IS READ OUT TO LORD CAITANYA. Text 112 grantha, śloka, gīta keha prabhu-pāśe āne svarūpa parīkṣā kaile, pāche prabhu śune Translation If someone wrote a book or composed verses and songs and wanted to recite them before Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Svarūpa Dāmodara would first examine them and then correctly present them. Only then would Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu agree to listen. Text 113 bhakti-siddhānta-viruddha, āra rasābhāsa śunite nā haya prabhura cittera ullāsa Translation Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was never pleased to hear books or verses opposed to the conclusive statements of devotional service. The Lord did not like hearing rasābhāsa, the overlapping of transcendental mellows.
