“To teach others by example how to be a faithful disciple of one’s spiritual master, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, visited the birthplace of Isvara Puri at Kumara-hatta and collected some earth from his birth site.”
“Who has the ability to describe the Lord’s love for Sri Isvara Puri. The Supreme Lord, Sri Caitanya personally visited the birthplace of Isvara Puri. The Lord said, ‘I offer my obeisances to the village of Kumarahatta, where Srila Isvara Puri appeared. Lord Caitanya cried profusely and spoke nothing other than the name of Isvara Puri. The Lord took some dust from the birthplace of Isvara Puri and tied it to His cloth. The Lord said, ‘The dust from the birthplace of Isvara Puri is My life, wealth and living force. The Lord exhibited such affection for Isvara Puri because He takes pleasure in increasing the glories of His devotees. The Lord said, ‘I came to Gaya to offer oblations to My forefathers. Now that I have seen Isvara Puri My journey has become successful.”
