seeing through the eyes of scriptures

the great secret about Jaya and Vijaya/Jagai and Madhai

I was listening to the Madhya lila chapter 13 of Caitanya Bhagavata .Jagai and Madhai are incarnationes of Jaya and Vijaya that where demons for 3 birth during Satya Yuga they became Hiranyakasipu and Hiranykasa .
Gaura Ganodessa Dipika states:
93. Lord Caitanya Himself did not accept that Ramacandra Puri was the incarnation of Vibhisana, but the Lord himself said that Ramacandra Puri was the empowered incarnation of Srimati Radharani s mother-in-law Jatila. This Ramacandra Puri restricted Lord Caitanya in His acceptance of alms. Rcika Muni s son Brahma Mahatapah, and Prahlada Maharaja combined to appear as Haridasa Thakur in Lord Caitanya's pastimes. 94/95. In the book Caitanya-carita, Murari Gupta explains that one morning Mahatapah gave an unwashed tulasi leaf to his father, who became so angry at him for this that he cursed him. Because of this Mahatapah took birth in a yavana family as the great devotee Haridasa Thakura.

So Prahlada Maharaja is Haridas Thakura and Jaya and Vijaya became Jagai and Madhai , after their initiation they became Jagannatha and Madhava Prabhus ,Gaura Ganodesse Dipika states :
115. Jaya and Vijaya, the two doorkeepers of Vaikunthaloka, voluntarily appeared in Lord Caitanya s pastimes as the two devotees Sri Jagannatha and Sri Madhava.

So really Prahlada Maharaja was Haridas Thakura and Prahlada Maharajas father Hiranyakasipu was one of these two brothers Jagai and Madhai .You remember how Prahlada Maharaja prayed to Lord Narasimha for Hiranyakasipu :
SB 7.10.15-17
śrī-prahrāda uvāca
varaṁ varaya etat te
varadeśān maheśvara
yad anindat pitā me
tvām avidvāṁs teja aiśvaram
viddhāmarṣāśayaḥ sākṣāt
sarva-loka-guruṁ prabhum
bhrātṛ-heti mṛṣā-dṛṣṭis
tvad-bhakte mayi cāghavān
tasmāt pitā me pūyeta
durantād dustarād aghāt
pūtas te ’pāṅga-saṁdṛṣṭas
tadā kṛpaṇa-vatsala

Prahlāda Mahārāja said: O Supreme Lord, because You are so merciful to the fallen souls, I ask You for only one benediction. I know that my father, at the time of his death, had already been purified by Your glance upon him, but because of his ignorance of Your beautiful power and supremacy, he was unnecessarily angry at You, falsely thinking that You were the killer of his brother. Thus he directly blasphemed Your Lordship, the spiritual master of all living beings, and committed heavily sinful activities directed against me, Your devotee. I wish that he be excused for these sinful activities.

So Prahlada Maharaja prayer for Hiranyakasipu and his uncle Hiranykasa came true and in the incarnation of Lord Caitanya ,Prahlada Maharaja became Haridas Thakura and went preaching with Lord Nityananda .

Prahlada Maharaja lamented to Narada Muni that I was not fortunate like Hanuman to serve the Lord like Ramachandra it is there in Brhad Bhagavatamrta .But in Gaura lila he became Srila Haridas Thakura , so just see this pastime in this perspective .Lord Caitanya said about Madhava and Jagannatha Prabhus (former Jagai and Madhai) that anyone that offers them anything will get devotion for Krsna (recorded in Caitanya Bhagavatam chapter 13 ) Jagannatha and Madhava Prabhus chanted 128 rounds daily as stated in Prema Vilasa ,so former Jaya and Vijaya ultimately became Gaura Bhaktas so the day they where cursed to fall from Vaikuntha by the 4 Kumaras was actually a blessing.For 3 birth they where demons to play a role in Lord Narasimha, Lord Ramachandra and Lord Krsnas lilas, but in their 4th birth they became pure devoteees of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda Prabhu so this is most wonderful
