+Festival in remembrance of Śrīmān Mahāprabhu's sannyāsa-lila

the other day (yesterday actually ) we celebrated Lord Caitanya taking sannyasa, why are we celebrating because His beautiful hair was cut of or He left Navadvipa ? Actually to Gaudiya Vaisnavas they are sad pastimes who wants to see Lord Caitanya shave His head ? And become a sannyasi ? But He showed the world to become renounced.The devotees where begging Lord Caitanya please do not shave your head they fell at His lotusfeet and cried but Lord Caitanya has His head shaved ,this place is in Katwa and is called Nirdoya , it means no mercy

"O Supreme Personality of Godhead, O protector of the surrendered souls, You are now playing the role of Your own devotee, and Your lotus feet are the only object of perpetual meditation for the pure living entities. They destroy the material existence of the living entity. They are the fulfiller of all desires, the abode of all holy places, worshipable even by Lord Brahma and Lord Shiva, the shelter of all that exists, the destroyer of the troubles of Your devotees and the only boat for crossing over the ocean of material existence. Therefore I offer my obeisances unto Your lotus feet." (Bhagavatam 11.5.33)

vande mahapurusha te charanaravindam

"O Mahaprabhu, You have given up the goddess of fortune (Lakshmi, Your wife), whose glance is desired by the great demigods, and who is the most difficult attachment to renounce. In order to keep the word of some brahmana's curse, You have gone to the forest. Thus to show Your great mercy to the helpless living entities who are following maya--the illusory energy--You have chased after them to give them Your own devotional service. Therefore I offer my humble obeisances unto Your lotus feet." (Bhagavatam 11.5.34)

It was predicted by Srila Vyasadeva in Srimad Bhagavatam Lord Caitanya will be cursed by a Brahmana and upon that curse leave His wife Visnupriya .A Brahmana once blessed Lord Caitanya with material wealth and many material blessings and Lord Caitanya said these are not blessings so the Brahmana got angry and cursed the Lord that you will become a distitute beggar a sannyasi. Lord Caitanya was pleased yes that is the real blessing. Shortly after this Lord Caitanya took sannyasa , to chase after those animal human beings maya mrigam ,means those who have become like animals due to maya.Also in 1000 names of Lord Visnu , Sri Bhimadeva predicted the apperance of Lord Caitanya

suvarna varna hemango
varangas candanangadi
sannyasa krt-chamah santo
nistha santi parayanah (35)
In His early activities Lord Caitanya comes as a householder. He has a golden complexion [suvarna varnah]. His limbs are very beautiful [vara-anga] and are smeared with sandalwood pulp [candana- angadi]. He has the appearance of molten gold [hema-anga].

The Supreme Lord Caitanya accepts the renounced order of life [sannyasa-krt]. He is fully sense-controlled or equipoised [sama], and is completely peaceful [santa]. He is completely fixed in the chanting of the holy name of Lord Krsna, [nistha]. He is the highest abode of devotion and transcendental peace. He silences the mayavadi impersonalists [nistha santi parayanah].

Srila Prabhupada in Sb 5.18 . 13 and 14 has stated we also need to leave the hell hole of family life as shown by Lord Caitanya these verses where spoken by Prahlada Maharaja :

SB 5.18.13
harir hi sākṣād bhagavān śarīriṇām
 ātmā jhaṣāṇām iva toyam īpsitam
hitvā mahāṁs taṁ yadi sajjate gṛhe
 tadā mahattvaṁ vayasā dampatīnām
Synonyms:
hariḥ — the Lord; hi — certainly; sākṣāt — directly; bhagavān — the Supreme Personality of Godhead; śarīriṇām— of all living entities who have accepted material bodies; ātmā — the life and soul; jhaṣāṇām — of the aquatics; iva — like; toyam — the vast water; īpsitam — is desired; hitvā — giving up; mahān — a great personality; tam — Him; yadi — if; sajjate — becomes attached; gṛhe — to household life; tadā — at that time; mahattvam — greatness; vayasā — by age; dam-patīnām — of the husband and wife.
Translation:
Just as aquatics always desire to remain in the vast mass of water, all conditioned living entities naturally desire to remain in the vast existence of the Supreme Lord. Therefore if someone very great by material calculations fails to take shelter of the Supreme Soul but instead becomes attached to material household life, his greatness is like that of a young, low-class couple. One who is too attached to material life loses all good spiritual qualities.
Purport:
Although crocodiles are very fierce animals, they are powerless when they venture out of the water onto land. When they are out of the water, they cannot exhibit their original power. Similarly, the all-pervading Supersoul, Paramātmā, is the source of all living entities, and all living entities are part and parcel of Him. When the living entity remains in contact with the all-pervading Vāsudeva, the Personality of Godhead, he manifests his spiritual power, exactly as the crocodile exhibits its strength in the water. In other words, the greatness of the living entity can be perceived when he is in the spiritual world, engaged in spiritual activities. Many householders, although well-educated in the knowledge of the Vedas, become attached to family life. They are compared herein to crocodiles out of water, for they are devoid of all spiritual strength. Their greatness is like that of a young husband and wife who, though uneducated, praise one another and become attracted to their own temporary beauty. This kind of greatness is appreciated only by low-class men with no qualifications.

Everyone should therefore seek the shelter of the Supreme Soul, the source of all living entities. No one should waste his time in the so-called happiness of materialistic household life. In the Vedic civilization, this type of crippled life is allowed only until one’s fiftieth year, when one must give up family life and enter either the order of vānaprastha (independent retired life for cultivation of spiritual knowledge) or sannyāsa (the renounced order, in which one completely takes shelter of the Supreme Personality of Godhead).

SB 5.18.14
tasmād rajo-rāga-viṣāda-manyu-
 māna-spṛhā-bhayadainyādhimūlam
hitvā gṛhaṁ saṁsṛti-cakravālaṁ
 nṛsiṁha-pādaṁ bhajatākutobhayam iti
Synonyms:
tasmāt — therefore; rajaḥ — of passion or material desires; rāga — attachment for material things; viṣāda — then disappointment; manyu — anger; māna-spṛhā — the desire to be respectable in society; bhaya — fear; dainya — of poverty; adhimūlam — the root cause; hitvā — giving up; gṛham — household life; saṁsṛti-cakravālam — the cycle of repeated birth and death; nṛsiṁha-pādam — the lotus feet of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva; bhajata — worship; akutaḥ-bhayam — the shelter of fearlessness; iti — thus.
Translation:
Therefore, O demons, give up the so-called happiness of family life and simply take shelter of the lotus feet of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, which are the actual shelter of fearlessness. Entanglement in family life is the root cause of material attachment, indefatigable desires, moroseness, anger, despair, fear and the desire for false prestige, all of which result in the repetition of birth and death.

In 2001 My Gurudeva Srila Narayana Maharaja chastised me and said Srila Prabhupada would never have wanted you entered grhastha asrama I want you take sannyasa now come with me to Vrindavana and I will give you sannyasa.My son was 2 years old I had just entered grhastha life I said Srila Gurudeva if I become a sannyasi how will my son become a devotee? He said you are very responsible I like that about you , you should stay in Grhastha life and do not be attached be like Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura and always chant minimum 64 rounds daily and remember Krsnas and Lord Caitanyas pastimes .He said also that Sukadeva Goswami left everything at the time of birth and though his father was Srila Vyasadeva he even left that household ,he said remember the renounciation of Srila Sukadeva Goswami and be detached from this world and attached to Krsna. So I like to share this with the vaisnavas.I am simply trying to please my Gurudeva and Srila Prabhupada.We all should be ready to leave this dumb of the material world and go back to Godhead and have no material attachements left when our body dies.Lord Caitanya went everywhere and made His devotees chant 64 rounds or more daily teaching them to avoid Nama apradha and Seva Apradha ,Oh and Mother Visnu Priya , who is Earth Bhumi personfied ? She chanted Hare Krsna constantly and every time she finished one round she placed a grain of rice it in a pot so if she had chanted 200 rounds she would take 200 grains of rice and cook it and offer it to Lord Krsna and Lord Caitanya and She daily worshipped the Deity of Lord Caitanya ,Dharmesvara Mahaprabhu , maybe you have visited in Navadvipa.

your humble servant
Paramananda das

Lord Catanya eternally performs Nitya lilas in Navadvipa because Navadvipa is part of Goloka Vrindavana ,just like Lord Krsna is eternally present in Vrindavana Lord Caitanya is eternally present in Navadvipa

Srila Prabhupada wanted us to make Vrindavana and Navadvipa atmosphere everywhere make our heart and temple and home temple Navadvipa and Vrindavana
