Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu told Advaita Acarya and Nityananda Prabhu, "You should both show Your mercy wholeheartedly to Rupa Gosvami. May Rupa Gosvami, by Your mercy become so powerful that he will be able to describe the transcendental mellows of devotional service." Thus Rupa Gosvami became the object of love and affection fro all the devotees of the Lord, including those who came from Bengal and those who resided in Orissa. One day thereafter, when Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to see Srila Rupa Gosvami, the omniscient Lord spoke as follows. "Do not try to take Krishna out of Vrndavana, for He does not go anywhere else at any time. The Krishna known as Yadu-kumara is Vasudeva Krishna. He is different from the Krishna who is the son of Nanda Maharaja. Yadu-kumara Krishna manifests His pastimes in the cities of Mathura and Dvaraka, but Krishna the son of Nanda Maharaja never at any time leaves Vrndavana. After saying this, Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to perform His noontime duties, leaving Srila Rupa Gosvami somewhat surprised. "Satyabhama ordered me to write two different dramas,: Srila Rupa Gosvami thought. "Now I understand that this order has been confirmed by Caitanya Mahaprabhu. "Formerly I wrote the two dramas as one composition. Now I shall divide it and describe the incidents in two separate words. I shall write two separate invocations of good fortune and two different introductions. Let me think deeply about the matter and then describe two different sets of incidents.:" These two books are the Vidagdha-madhava and Lalita-madhava. The Vidagdha-madhava describes pastimes in Vrindavana, and the Lalita-madhava describes pastimes in Dvaraka and Mathura. |
