The First Gaura Purnima Festival After Lord Chaitanya’s Disappearance

Radhanath Swami

The intoxication of spiritual happiness that was showering upon everyone is something that's inconceivable. Just by speaking about this pastime, just by hearing about this pastime with a sincere and faithful heart, we can be transformed forever. As they were all singing and dancing together, Advaita's sons were rejoined with him. Jahnava Devi was seeing her beloved Nityananda again, after so many years. In the Bhakti Ratnakar and Narottam Vilas, this beautiful story is described in great detail. And then, they all disappeared and everyone could understand that the lord in separation, they were forever connected with Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. And then Jahnava Devi, in a simple way, she cooked for all the devotees and arranged the serving of all the devotees. And she arranged a Holi festival, where everyone would see the deities installed beautifully, sprinkled with natural colors. And this was the first Gaura Purnima festival.
