Conversations and Morning Walks

1967 Conversations and Morning Walks

Now you write and I shall make some addition or alteration when you write. This is the synopsis and framework. Now you can proceed.

Prabhupāda: Yes. This is the, in the fifth act, "Ecstasy." At night Caitanya Mahāprabhu would become mad in separation of Kṛṣṇa. He would dash His head on the floor. Sometimes He would write with His nails, and sometimes He would go away. Although the house was locked, He would go away, and sometimes He would be found amongst the cowshed of Jagannātha Purī. Sometimes He would be seen in the seashore.

One day it was so found that He fell in the ocean and some fisherman caught Him on the net. And as soon as He was in the net and the fisherman touched Caitanya Mahāprabhu, he is also began to dance, "Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare Kṛṣṇa, Kṛṣṇa Kṛṣṇa, Hare Hare." And his brothers, his fellow men, thought, "Oh, he's caught ghost, haunted."

So in the meantime, His secretary, Dāmodara Svarūpa, came to the seashore and he saw that the fisherman was dancing. Then he could understand that he must have some connection with Caitanya Mahāprabhu, (laughs) otherwise why this fisherman is dancing and "Hare Kṛṣṇa"? Then asked him, "What has happened to you?" He said: "Sir, I do not know. I am a fish-catcher. Now this morning I caught one big fish, and as soon as I caught I am haunted. So I am dancing."

So Svarūpa Dāmodara, "Where is that fish, big fish? Let me see." So he saw in the net Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He saw Caitanya Mahāprabhu, then he told him, "Yes. I'll chant some mantra so the ghost will go away." So he made him some show. "All right. Now your ghost is over."

So he took away Caitanya Mahāprabhu, and when Caitanya Mahāprabhu saw, He told Svarūpa Dāmodara, "Why you have brought Me in the seaside? Oh, I was seeing rāsa dance of Kṛṣṇa. I was enjoying." In this way He was always in ecstasy.

And in the last stage, the same ecstasy, He entered Jagannātha temple and He never came back. That is the end of . . . (indistinct) . . . Caitanya Mahāprabhu's . . . so you have to add scenes and sounds. That's all.

Hayagrīva: Uh, now . . . in ecstasy here on the seashore, I don't understand. He met this fisherman. On the seashore?

Prabhupāda: No! He, at night, out of His own accord, He came to the seashore and fell on the sea.

Hayagrīva: Oh, He threw Himself in the ocean.

Prabhupāda: In the ocean. Bay of Bengal. And the fishermen, they came to catch fish. So instead of fish, Caitanya Mahāprabhu's body was in the net.

Hayagrīva: Oh, I see.

Prabhupāda: He already dropped Himself on the sea.

Hayagrīva: He was unconscious.

Prabhupāda: Unconscious. He was rolling in the sea.

Hayagrīva: So they brought Him out and some of His friends went to find Him.

Prabhupāda: Not all. His secretary. Because he knew that Caitanya must have gone somewhere. So while inquiring where is Caitanya Mahāprabhu, when he came to the seashore he saw that the fisherman was dancing. Then he could understand, "He is dancing with Hare Kṛṣṇa, that means he must have some connection with Caitanya Mahāprabhu."

Hayagrīva: Oh.

Prabhupāda: Then when he inquired, he told him that "I have caught this morning a big fish, and since then I am dancing. I do not know. I got mad. Perhaps I have been caught by some ghost. So I do not know." So Svarūpa Dāmodara, just to pacify him, "Yes. I am just driving away ghoul, I mean to say, ghost. Don't worry. Where is that fish? Let me see it." And when he saw that fish was caught in the net, and it was Caitanya Mahāprabhu.

Hayagrīva: Now the second scene here, this is when Caitanya on the seashore, this is when He would walk around saying: "Where is Kṛṣṇa?" Is that right? "Where is Kṛṣṇa" He would . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes. He was seen on the seashore within the net after being caught by the fisherman. And when He fell on the sea, that is not seen. You can make a scene that Caitanya Mahāprabhu is coming, "Hare Kṛṣṇa, Hare . . . " and fall down in the sea. Then He was caught by the net of the fisherman.

Hayagrīva: And what is the second scene?

Prabhupāda: This is the second scene I have described. First scene and second scene.

Hayagrīva: The first scene also.

Prabhupāda: They are all. First, second scene, they are all ecstasies. Yes. And the third scene, similarly . . .

Hayagrīva: Wait. He must be around . . . in His forties now. This is in His forties.

Prabhupāda: Yes. These ecstasies were going on daily from His age thirtieth to forty-eighth year.

Hayagrīva: Thirty-eight to forty-eight, every day.

Prabhupāda: Not thirty-eight. Thirtieth.

Hayagrīva: Thirtieth.

Prabhupāda: Thirty to forty-eight. Eighteen years. Sometimes He was chanting, sometimes He was falling, sometimes He was going there. That was His business all eighteen years.

Hayagrīva: Every day?

Prabhupāda: Every day. Especially at night. (Hayagrīva laughs) Simply . . . the whole program was the whole day He would see the visitors. And so many visitors were coming. In the evening He'll chant and dance in the temple. And at night, instead of sleeping He was doing all these . . . sometimes falling in the sea, sometimes here, sometimes there. That was His business.

Hayagrīva: I see. Now this third scene.

Prabhupāda: Third scene. In the same way, one day when He was forty-eight years old, He entered the Jagannātha temple . . .

Hayagrīva: And disappeared.

Prabhupāda: Disappeared. His friends outside waited and waited, and He never come back. That's all.

Hayagrīva: They never knew what happened to Him. They never found . . .

Prabhupāda: Yes, they knew that He was Kṛṣṇa; He has merged into the existence of Jagannātha.

Hayagrīva: He left. Took off. All right. Now no more. That's the end.

Prabhupāda: Now you write and I shall make some addition or alteration when you write. This is the synopsis and framework. Now you can proceed.
