Poem for Feb 03



Reading


When Lord Caitanya and Nityananda were eating in the home of Advaita Acharya, Lord Nityananda jokingly told Advaita to take away the foodstuff. He threw a handful of rice on the floor in front of Him, as if He was angry. A couple pieces of rice touched Advaita’s body. When the rice touched him, Advaita thought himself purified by the touch of Lord Nityananda’s remnants and he immediately began dancing in various ways.
