<div class="heading">This Kṛṣṇadāsa, known as Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa, is not the Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa mentioned in the Eleventh Chapter, verse 37, of the Ādi-līlā.
</div>
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 7.39|CC Madhya 7.39, Translation and Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu continued, “Here is a simple brāhmaṇa named Kṛṣṇadāsa. Please accept him and take him with You. That is My request.</p>
</div>
<div class="purport text"><p>This Kṛṣṇadāsa, known as Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa, is not the Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa mentioned in the Eleventh Chapter, verse 37, of the Ādi-līlā. The Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa mentioned in the Eleventh Chapter is one of the twelve gopālas (cowherd boys) who appeared to substantiate the pastimes of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. He is known as a great devotee of Lord Nityānanda Prabhu. The brāhmaṇa named Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa who went with Śrī Caitanya to South India and later to Bengal is mentioned in the Madhya-līlā, Tenth Chapter, verses 62–79. One should not take these two to be the same person.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="CCMadhya9Summary_1" class="quote" parent="CC_Madhya-lila" book="CC" index="1717" link="CC Madhya 9 Summary" link_text="CC Madhya 9 Summary">
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 9 Summary|CC Madhya 9 Summary]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="text"><p style="display: inline;">The Lord then confronted the Bhaṭṭathāris at Mallāra-deśa and saved Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa from their clutches.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="CCMadhya1062_2" class="quote" parent="CC_Madhya-lila" book="CC" index="2141" link="CC Madhya 10.62" link_text="CC Madhya 10.62">
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 10.62|CC Madhya 10.62, Translation]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">Sārvabhauma Bhaṭṭācārya then asked all the people to leave. Afterward, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu called for Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa, who had accompanied the Lord during His South Indian tour.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="CCMadhya1065_3" class="quote" parent="CC_Madhya-lila" book="CC" index="2144" link="CC Madhya 10.65" link_text="CC Madhya 10.65">
<div class="heading">Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa was influenced and allured by nomads or gypsies, who enticed him with women. Māyā is so strong that Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa left Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's company to join gypsy women.
</div>
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 10.65|CC Madhya 10.65, Translation and Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">"Now that I have brought him here, I am asking him to leave. Now he can go wherever he likes, for I am no longer responsible for him."</p>
</div>
<div class="purport text"><p>Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa was influenced and allured by nomads or gypsies, who enticed him with women. Māyā is so strong that Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa left Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's company to join gypsy women. Even though a person may associate with Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, he can be allured by māyā and leave the Lord's company due to his slight independence. Only one who is overwhelmed by māyā can be so unfortunate as to leave Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu's company, yet unless one is very conscientious, the influence of māyā can drag one away, even though he be the personal assistant of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. And what to speak of others? The Bhaṭṭathāris used to increase their numbers by using women to allure outsiders. This is factual evidence showing that it is possible at any time to fall down from the Lord's association. One need only misuse his little independence. Once fallen and separated from the Supreme Personality of Godhead's association, one becomes a candidate for suffering in the material world. Although rejected by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa was given another chance, as the following verses relate.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="CCMadhya1066_4" class="quote" parent="CC_Madhya-lila" book="CC" index="2145" link="CC Madhya 10.66" link_text="CC Madhya 10.66">
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 10.66|CC Madhya 10.66, Translation]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">Hearing the Lord reject him, Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa began to cry. However, Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, not caring for him, immediately left to take His noon lunch.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="CCMadhya1067_5" class="quote" parent="CC_Madhya-lila" book="CC" index="2146" link="CC Madhya 10.67" link_text="CC Madhya 10.67">
<div class="heading">The Lord Himself may sometimes be very hard, but the devotees are always kind. Thus Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa received the mercy of the four devotees mentioned.
</div>
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 10.67|CC Madhya 10.67, Translation and Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">After this, the other devotees—headed by Nityānanda Prabhu, Jagadānanda, Mukunda and Dāmodara—began to consider a certain plan.</p>
</div>
<div class="purport text"><p>Even though a person is rejected by the Supreme Personality of Godhead, the devotees of the Lord do not reject him; therefore the Lord's devotees are more merciful than the Lord Himself. Śrīla Narottama dāsa Ṭhākura thus sings, chāḍiyā vaiṣṇava-sevā nistāra peyeche kebā: one cannot be relieved from the material clutches without engaging in the service of pure devotees. The Lord Himself may sometimes be very hard, but the devotees are always kind. Thus Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa received the mercy of the four devotees mentioned above.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="CCMadhya1070_6" class="quote" parent="CC_Madhya-lila" book="CC" index="2149" link="CC Madhya 10.70" link_text="CC Madhya 10.70">
<div class="heading">The Lord's devotees took compassion upon Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa, they gave him assurance and encouraged him to continue to engage in the Lord's service.
</div>
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 10.70|CC Madhya 10.70, Translation and Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">"Let us therefore send Kṛṣṇadāsa to Bengal." Saying this, they kept Kṛṣṇadāsa engaged in the service of the Lord and gave him assurance.</p>
</div>
<div class="purport text"><p>Because Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu rejected him, Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa became very, very sorry and began to cry. Therefore the Lord's devotees took compassion upon him, gave him assurance and encouraged him to continue to engage in the Lord's service.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="CCMadhya1074_7" class="quote" parent="CC_Madhya-lila" book="CC" index="2153" link="CC Madhya 10.74" link_text="CC Madhya 10.74">
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 10.74|CC Madhya 10.74, Translation]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">In this way Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa was sent to Bengal, and he was given sufficient quantities of Lord Jagannātha's food remnants to distribute there.</p>

<div id="CCMadhya1075_8" class="quote" parent="CC_Madhya-lila" book="CC" index="2154" link="CC Madhya 10.75" link_text="CC Madhya 10.75">

<div id="CCMadhya1076_9" class="quote" parent="CC_Madhya-lila" book="CC" index="2155" link="CC Madhya 10.76" link_text="CC Madhya 10.76">
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 10.76|CC Madhya 10.76, Translation]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">Upon reaching mother Śacī, Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa first offered his obeisances and delivered the food remnants (mahā-prasādam). He then informed her of the good news that Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu had returned from His South Indian tour.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="CCMadhya1714_10" class="quote" parent="CC_Madhya-lila" book="CC" index="3792" link="CC Madhya 17.14" link_text="CC Madhya 17.14">
<div class="heading">Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu did not want a person like Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa to accompany Him. He wanted someone who was determined, who had a peaceful mind, and who was not agitated by ulterior motives.
</div>
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 17.14|CC Madhya 17.14, Translation and Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">"Such a person must be a new man, and he must have a peaceful mind. If I can obtain such a man, I shall agree to take him with Me."</p>
</div>
<div class="purport text"><p>Formerly, when Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu went to South India, a brāhmaṇa named Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa went with Him. Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa fell victim to a woman, and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu had to take the trouble to free him from the clutches of the gypsies. Therefore the Lord here says that He wants a new man who is peaceful in mind. One whose mind is not peaceful is agitated by certain drives, especially sex desire, even though he be in the company of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Such a man will become a victim of women and will fall down even in the company of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Māyā is so strong that unless one is determined not to fall victim, even the Supreme Personality of Godhead cannot give protection. The Supreme Lord and His representative always want to give protection, but a person must take advantage of their personal contact. If one thinks that the Supreme Personality of Godhead or His representative is an ordinary man, he will certainly fall down. Thus Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu did not want a person like Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa to accompany Him. He wanted someone who was determined, who had a peaceful mind, and who was not agitated by ulterior motives.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div id="CCMadhya1715_11" class="quote" parent="CC_Madhya-lila" book="CC" index="3793" link="CC Madhya 17.15" link_text="CC Madhya 17.15">
<div class="heading">Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted a new man, not a person like Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa who would fall for women. Svarūpa Dāmodara therefore immediately pointed out a new brāhmaṇa named Balabhadra Bhaṭṭācārya.
</div>
<span class="link">[[Vanisource:CC Madhya 17.15|CC Madhya 17.15, Translation and Purport]]: </span><div style="display: inline;" class="trans text"><p style="display: inline;">Svarūpa Dāmodara then said, “Here is Balabhadra Bhaṭṭācārya, who has great love for You. He is an honest, learned scholar, and he is advanced in spiritual consciousness.</p>
</div>
<div class="purport text"><p>Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu wanted a new man, not a person like Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa who would fall for women. Svarūpa Dāmodara therefore immediately pointed out a new brāhmaṇa named Balabhadra Bhaṭṭācārya. Śrī Svarūpa Dāmodara Gosvāmī had studied this person very thoroughly and had seen that he had great love for Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Not only did he love the Lord, but he was also learned and honest. He was not duplicitous, and he was advanced in Kṛṣṇa consciousness. According to a Bengali proverb, ati bhakti corera lakṣaṇa: "Too much devotion is a symptom of a thief." A person who assumes himself to be a great devotee but mentally is thinking of something else is duplicitous. One who is not duplicitous is called sādhu.</p>
