Significado

In his Anubhāṣya, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura describes the ecstasy of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu as follows. After giving up the company of the gopīs in Vṛndāvana, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, the son of Mahārāja Nanda, engaged in His pastimes at Dvārakā. When Kṛṣṇa went to Kurukṣetra with His brother and sister and others from Dvārakā, He again met the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu is rādhā-bhāva-dyuti-suvalita, that is, Kṛṣṇa Himself assuming the part of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī in order to understand Kṛṣṇa. Lord Jagannātha-deva is Kṛṣṇa, and Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu is Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s leading Lord Jagannātha toward the Guṇḍicā temple corresponded to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī’s leading Kṛṣṇa toward Vṛndāvana. Śrī Kṣetra, Jagannātha Purī, was taken as the kingdom of Dvārakā, the place where Kṛṣṇa enjoys supreme opulence. But He was being led by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to Vṛndāvana, the simple village where all the inhabitants are filled with ecstatic love for Kṛṣṇa. Śrī Kṣetra is a place of aiśvarya-līlā, just as Vṛndāvana is the place of mādhurya-līlā. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s following at the rear of the ratha indicated that Lord Jagannātha, Kṛṣṇa, was forgetting the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana. Although Kṛṣṇa neglected the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana, He could not forget them. Thus in His opulent Ratha-yātrā, He was returning to Vṛndāvana. In the role of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was examining whether the Lord still remembered the inhabitants of Vṛndāvana. When Caitanya Mahāprabhu fell behind the Ratha car, Jagannātha-deva, Kṛṣṇa Himself, understood the mind of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. Therefore, Jagannātha sometimes fell behind the dancing Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu to indicate to Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī that He had not forgotten. Thus Lord Jagannātha would stop the forward march of the ratha and wait at a standstill. In this way Lord Jagannātha agreed that without the ecstasy of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī He could not feel satisfied. While Jagannātha was thus waiting, Gaurasundara, Caitanya Mahāprabhu, in His ecstasy of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, immediately came forward to Kṛṣṇa. At such times, Lord Jagannātha would proceed ahead very slowly. These competitive exchanges were all part of the love affair between Kṛṣṇa and Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. In that competition between Lord Caitanya’s ecstasy for Jagannātha and Jagannātha’s ecstasy for Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, Caitanya Mahāprabhu emerged successful.

En su Anubhāṣya, Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura describe cómo sigue el éxtasis de Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Después de abandonar la compañía de las gopīs en Vṛndāvana, Śrī Kṛṣṇa, el hijo de Mahārāja Nanda, Se ocupó en Sus pasatiempos en Dvārakā. Cuando Kṛṣṇa fue a Kurukṣetra con Su hermano, Su hermana y otros habitantes de Dvārakā, volvió a ver a los habitantes de Vṛndāvana. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu es rādhā-bhāva-dyuti-suvalita, es decir, Kṛṣṇa mismo haciendo el papel de Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī a fin de entender a Kṛṣṇa. El Señor Jagannātha-deva es Kṛṣṇa, y Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu es Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. Caitanya Mahāprabhu llevaba al Señor Jagannātha al templo de Guṇḍicā del mismo modo que Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī había llevado a Kṛṣṇa a Vṛndāvana. Śrī Kṣetra, Jagannātha Purī, se consideraba el reino de Dvārakā, el lugar en que Kṛṣṇa disfruta de opulencia suprema. Pero Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu Le estaba llevando a Vṛndāvana, la sencilla aldea cuyos habitantes rebosan de amor extático por Kṛṣṇa. Śrī Kṣetra es un lugar de aiśvarya-līlā, del mismo modo que Vṛndāvana es el lugar del mādhurya-līlā. Que Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu siguiera al ratha por detrás quería decir que el Señor Jagannātha, Kṛṣṇa, estaba olvidando a los habitantes de Vṛndāvana. Pero Kṛṣṇa, aunque había abandonado a los habitantes de Vṛndāvana, no podía olvidarles. Así, en Su opulento Ratha-yātrā, estaba regresando a Vṛndāvana. En el papel de Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu estaba comprobando si el Señor todavía recordaba a los habitantes de Vṛndāvana. Cuando Caitanya Mahāprabhu Se rezagaba con respecto al carro del Ratha, Jagannātha-deva, Kṛṣṇa mismo, entendía la mentalidad de Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. Por esa razón, para indicar a Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī que no había olvidado, Jagannātha a veces Se detenía mientras Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu continuaba danzando. Así, el Señor Jagannātha detenía la marcha del ratha y esperaba parado. De ese modo, el Señor Jagannātha confirmaba que, sin el éxtasis de Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, no podía sentirse satisfecho. Mientras Jagannātha esperaba con esa actitud, Gaurasundara, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, en Su éxtasis de Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, inmediatamente Se adelantaba hacia Kṛṣṇa. Cuando eso ocurría, el Señor Jagannātha avanzaba muy lentamente. Todos estos intercambios competitivos formaban parte del amor entre Kṛṣṇa y Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. En esa competición entre el éxtasis del Señor Caitanya por Jagannātha y el éxtasis de Jagannātha por Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī, Caitanya Mahāprabhu salía victorioso.
