gaura-kathā payorāśī, kṛṣṇa-dāsa tāhe bhāsi’
āniyāchhe amṛtera dhāra
sei kāvya-sudhā pāne, vaiṣṇava śītala prāṇe,
āro pite chāhe bāra bāra
(Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur)
“While floating in the milk-reservoir of Sri Gaurasundar’s glory, Krishna Das has brought (into this world) a stream of nectar (Sri Chaitanya-charitamrita). Devotees drink this nectarean poetry, cool their hearts, and desire to drink it again and again.”

From Jagannath Ashtakam:
महाम्भोधेस्तीरे कनक रुचिरे नील शिखरे
वसन् प्रासादान्तः सहज बलभद्रेण बलिना ।
सुभद्रा मध्यस्थः सकलसुर सेवावसरदो
जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन-पथ-गामी भवतु मे ॥३॥
mahāmbhodhestīre kanaka rucire nīla śikhare
vasan prāsādāntaḥ sahaja balabhadreṇa balinā .
subhadrā madhyasthaḥ sakalasura sevāvasarado
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana-patha-gāmī bhavatu me (3)
Residing on the shore of the great ocean, within a large palace situated upon the crest of the brilliant, golden Nilacala Hill, along with his powerful brother Bala-bhadra, and in the middle of them his sister Subhadra, Lord Jagannatha bestows the opportunity for devotional service upon all godly souls. May that lord be the object of my vision.
न वै याचे राज्यं न च कनक माणिक्य विभवं
न याचेऽहं रम्यां सकल जन काम्यां वरवधूम् ।
सदा काले काले प्रमथ पतिना गीतचरितो
जगन्नाथः स्वामी नयन पथ गामी भवतु मे ॥७॥
na vai yāce rājyaṃ na ca kanaka māṇikya vibhavaṃ
na yāce’haṃ ramyāṃ sakala jana kāmyāṃ varavadhūm .
sadā kāle kāle pramatha patinā gītacarito
jagannāthaḥ svāmī nayana patha gāmī bhavatu me (7)
I do not pray for a kingdom, nor for gold, rubies, and wealth. I do not ask for an excellent and beautiful wife as desired by all men. I simply pray that lord, whose glories are always sung by Lord Siva, be the constant object of my vision.

Srila Raghunath’s Danda Mahotsav
Actually Srimon Sri Nityanand Prabhu’s mercy to Srila Raghunath Das Goswami and Srila Dās Goswāmī’s service to Śrimon Nityānanda Prabhu and His associates. This Pastime is described in Śrī Chaitanya-charitāmṛta.
When Śrīman Mahāprahu returned to Gauḍa after taking sannyās, Raghunāth Dās met Him in Śāntipur with the desire of abandoning his family life and staying with the Lord permanently. Śrīman Mahāprabhu instructed him as follows (Cc: 2.16.237–42):
sthira hañā ghare yāo, nā hao vātula
krame krame pāya loka bhava-sindhu-kūla
Be patient and return home. Do not be crazy. Gradually a soul reaches the shore of the ocean of material existence.
markaṭa-vairāgya nā kara loka dekhāñā
yathā-yogya viṣaya bhuñja’ anāsakta hañā
Do not show yourself to the public like a ‘monkey renunciant’. Rather, be detached and befittingly continue your worldly life.
antare niṣṭhā kara, bāhye loka-vyavahāra
achirāt kṛṣṇa tomāya karibe uddhāra
Be firmly devoted to Kṛṣṇa internally, but externally perform your social duties. Kṛṣṇa will rescue you very soon.
Divine Words of Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur
Vaishnava is ready to honor all men with out distinction of caste, because they are filled with the energy of God. See how universal is the religion of the Bhagavata. It is not intended for a certain class of Hindus alone, but it is a gift to man at large, in whatever country he is born, and in whatever society he is bred. In short, Vaishnavism is the absolute love binding all men together into the infinite unconditioned and absolute God.
