Three Great Riches of Life


Discovers Radha-Kunda

"Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu asked the local people, 'Where is Radha-Kunda?' No one could inform Him, and the brahmana accompanying Him did not know either."The Lord then understood the holy place called Radha-Kunda was no longer visible. However, being the omniscient Supreme Personality of Godhead. He discovered Radha-Kunda and Syama-Kunda in two paddy fields. There was only a little water, but He took His bath there."When the people of the village saw Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu taking His bath in those two ponds in the middle of the paddy fields, they were very astonished. The Lord then offered His prayers to Sri Radha-Kunda."Of all the gopis, Radharani is the dearmost. Similarly the lake known as Radha-Kunda is very dear to the Lord because it is very dear to Srimati Radharani."Srimati Radharani is most dear to Lqed Krishna, and Her lake known as Radha-Kunda is also very dear to Him. Qf all the gopis, Srimati Radharani is certainly the most beloved. In that lake, Lord Krishna and Srimati Radharani used to sport daily in the water and have a rasa-dance on the bank."Indeed Lord Krishna gives ecstatic love like that of Srimati Radharani to whoever bathes in that lake even once in his life. The attraction of Radha-Kunda is as sweet as that of Srimati Radharani. Similarly, the glories of the kunda are as glorious as Srimati Radharani."Because of its wonderful transcendental qualities, Radha-Kunda is as dear to Krishna as Srimati Radharani. It was in that lake that the all opulent Lord Sri Krishna performed His pastimeswith Srimati Radharani with great pleasure and transcendental bliss. Whoever bathes just once in Radha-Kunda attains Srimati Radharani's loving attraction for Sri Krishna. Who within this world can describe the glories and sweetness of Sri Radha-Kunda?" (Caitanya Caritamrita Madhya 18.3-14)

Ramakrishna

Vivekananda

Today is Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Jayanti

            “Now I am mentioning something about God Sri Chaitanya Dev appeared in this Aryan country in a foremost Brahmin family. He has distributed the idealism of love-addicted extra-special mood of Gopis to the world 

“Apani Achari Dharma Jivere Shikhaya, Apani na koile dharma shikhana na jaya” 

(Religious works are to be taught to others through self-performance. If one does not act himself, he can never teach others). 

He has shown the idealism of these words to the world. Although many other love-addicted great acharyas have descended but Sri Chaitanya Dev has been the supermost amongst all of them. Being God himself he has followed the path of the acharyas. Huge devotional waves originating from him have flooded the entire Bengal bringing serenity to the entire mass. There has been no limit or end of his love lore. For that reason his glory spread not only in India but engulfed throughout total universe. He has not made any sectarian outlook amongst 
  1. honest-dishonest, 
  2. pious-sinner, 
  3. Hindu-Muslim, 
  4. pure-impure-fallen-harlot, 
  5. this nation-that nation, 
  6. this country-that country, 
  7. this sect-that sect and the like; 
entire humanity have shared his own love-wealth, he has flooded mercy to everyone untiringly. Till now this community has become the place of shelter for 
  1. poor, 
  2. weak, 
  3. de-classed, 
  4. fallen, 
  5. inferior, 
  6. sinner, 
  7. distressed and 
  8. persons having no place in the society. 
What a magnanimous proposition it is, till now no other Hindu acharayas have performed in such a way as almost all others possessed a narrow sectarian communal outlook. Introduction of his Sikshastakam (eight fundamental learning) are applicable for the entire mass. Those who have assisted him in his performance, they too are exemplary entities and formed a favorable base for preaching Prem-Dharma (Religion of love). So the world today has been blessed by the information of pure love-abode of the spiritual world and shall continue to relish it.

(From the book-Bharate Vivekananda, collected by Swami Birjanandaji Maharaj from Belur Math)
