A
- A large quantity of the remnants of food from Lord Jagannatha was brought in for distribution. Ramacandra Puri ate sumptuously, and then he wanted to find faults in Jagadananda Pandita
- After finishing the meal, Ramacandra Puri requested, "My dear Jagadananda, please listen. You eat the food that is left"
- All the devotees condemned Ramacandra Puri, saying, "This sinful man has come here and taken our lives"
- Although Ramacandra Puri was naturally very envious and although he was against the principles of Vaisnavism - or, in other words, against the principles of the Supreme PG and His devotees - common people nevertheless addressed him as Gosvami or Gosani
- Ants generally crawl about here, there and everywhere, but Ramacandra Puri, imagining faults, criticized Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu by alleging that there had been sweetmeats in His room
- At first the cost of Jagannatha prasadam for an invitation was four panas of conchshells, but when Ramacandra Puri was there, the price was cut in half
- At last he found a fault. "How can a person in the renounced order eat so many sweetmeats?" he said. "If one eats sweets, controlling the senses is very difficult"
B
- Because Ramacandra Puri had been rejected by his spiritual master, he became concerned only with finding faults in others and advising them according to dry Mayavada philosophy. For this reason he was not very respectful to the Vaisnavas
- Because Ramacandra Puri was a disciple of Madhavendra Puri, both Paramananda Puri and Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu offered him respectful obeisances
- Because Ramacandra Puri was interested only in finding faults, he could not understand the transcendental qualities of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. His only concern was finding faults, but still he could not find any
H
- He (Ramacandra Puri) neglected the para-vidhi but strictly observed the purva-vidhi. Since he avoided following the principle of not criticizing, Ramacandra Puri broke both the rules
- He (Ramacandra Puri) was superficially in the renounced order and dressed like a sannyasi
- Hearing this, Ramacandra Puri got up and left. He also heard from various sources that all the devotees of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu were eating half as much as usual
I
- I have heard that You have cut Your eating in half. Indeed, I see that You are skinny. Such dry renunciation is also not the religion of a sannyasi
- I have heard, he said, "that the followers of Caitanya Mahaprabhu eat more than necessary. Now I have directly seen that this is true"
- If one's spiritual master rejects him, one becomes so fallen that he, like Ramacandra Puri, commits offenses even to the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- If you are in full transcendental bliss, he said, "you should now remember only Brahman. Why are you crying"
- In this way he induces one to eat more than necessary, and then he directly criticizes him, saying, 'You eat so much. How much money do you have in your treasury'
- In this way Ramacandra Puri blasphemed Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu before everyone, but nevertheless he would regularly come to see the Lord every day
- In this way, some days passed in great unhappiness. Hearing of all this, Ramacandra Puri went to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- Isvara Puri and Ramacandra Puri, are examples of the objects of a great personality's benediction and punishment. Madhavendra Puri instructed the entire world by presenting these two examples
- Isvara Puri received the blessing of Madhavendra Puri, whereas Ramacandra Puri received a rebuke from him
- It is Ramacandra Puri's business to inquire always about how others are eating and conducting their daily affairs
- It is the nature of Ramacandra Puri that first he lets one eat as much as desired, and if one does not eat more than necessary, with great attention he makes him eat more
L
- Last night there was sugar candy here, he said. "Therefore ants are wandering about. Alas, this renounced sannyasi is attached to such sense gratification!" After speaking in this way, he got up and left
- Let me offer my respectful obeisances to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who reduced His eating due to fear of the criticism of Ramacandra Puri
O
- Of the two rules, Ramacandra Puri obeys the first by abandoning praise, but although he knows that the second is more prominent, he neglects it by criticizing others
- One day Ramacandra Puri came in the morning to the abode of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Seeing many ants, he said something to criticize the Lord
- One should not, therefore, follow the principles of Ramacandra Puri. Nevertheless, I have to say something against him because he is making our hearts unhappy
P
R
- Ramacandra Puri advised, "It is not the business of a sannyasi to gratify his senses. He should fill his belly some way or other"
- Ramacandra Puri concerned himself with gathering all sorts of information about how Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu was situated, including His regulative principles, His lunch, His sleep and His movements
- Ramacandra Puri could find no faults in the character of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, for He is situated in a transcendental position as the Supreme Personality of Godhead
- Ramacandra Puri could not understand that his spiritual master, Madhavendra Puri, was feeling transcendental separation. His lamentation was not material. Rather, it proceeded from the highest stage of ecstatic love of Krsna
- Ramacandra Puri was a disciple of Madhavendra Puri
- Ramacandra Puri was not sufficiently expert to understand the feelings of Madhavendra Puri, but nevertheless he thought himself very advanced
- Ramacandra Puri was thus denounced by Madhavendra Puri
- Ramacandra Puri was thus denounced by Madhavendra Puri. Due to his offense, gradually material desire appeared within him
- Regarding Madhavendra Puri’s expressions as ordinary material lamentation, he (Ramacandra Puri) advised him to remember Brahman because he was latently an impersonalist
S
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu also offered obeisances unto Ramacandra Puri, who then embraced Him and thus remembered Krsna
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu did not consider the offenses of Ramacandra Puri, for the Lord considered him His spiritual master. However, his character instructed everyone about the result of offending the spiritual master
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu offered His obeisances to Ramacandra Puri, worshiping his feet. Then Ramacandra Puri smiled and spoke to the Lord
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu replied, "Why are all of you angry at Ramacandra Puri? He is expounding the natural principles of sannyasa life. Why are you accusing him"
- Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu sometimes accepted Ramacandra Puri as His master and considered Himself a servant, and sometimes the Lord, not caring for him, would see him as being just like a straw
- Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura has explained in his Anubhasya that the word nirbandha indicates that Ramacandra Puri had a steady desire to criticize others
T
- The characteristic of Ramacandra Puri was that first he would induce someone to eat more than necessary and then he would criticize him
- The devotees considered Ramacandra Puri to be like a great burden on their heads. When he left Jagannatha Puri, everyone felt extremely happy, as if a great stone burden had suddenly fallen from their heads to the ground
- The Eighth Chapter describes the arrival of Ramacandra Puri and how Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu minimized His eating due to fear of him
- The three of them talked about Krsna for some time, and then Jagadananda came and extended an invitation to Ramacandra Puri
- Then Ramacandra Puri was so foolish that he fearlessly dared to instruct his spiritual master
- There was no certainty of where Ramacandra Puri would take his meal, for he would do so even uninvited. Nevertheless, he was very particular about keeping account of how others were taking their meals
- Thus Isvara Puri became like an ocean of ecstatic love for Krsna, whereas Ramacandra Puri became a dry speculator and a critic of everyone else
- Thus Ramacandra Puri stayed at Jagannatha Puri. As is customary for those in the renounced order, he would sometimes stay someplace and then go away
- Thus Ramacandra Puri stayed for some days at Nilacala (Jagannatha Puri). Then he left to visit various holy places of pilgrimage
W
- When they met, the Lord would offer him respectful obeisances, considering him a Godbrother of His spiritual master. Ramacandra Puri's business, however, was to search for faults in the Lord
- Why have You given up proper eating due to the criticism of Ramacandra Puri? Please accept invitations as before. This is the request of us all
- With great eagerness Ramacandra Puri seated Jagadananda Pandita and personally served him prasadam
