FILE INFO | Caption | "One day while Shivananda was detained by a tollman, his servant forgot to give the dog its cooked rice. At night, when Shivananda Sena returned and was taking his meal, he inquired from the servant whether the dog had gotten its meals. When he learned that the dog had not been supplied food in his absence, he was very unhappy. He then immediately sent ten men to find the dog. When the men returned without success, Shivananda Sena became very unhappy and fasted for the night. In the morning they looked for the dog, but it could not be found anywhere. All the Vaishnavas were astonished. Thus in great anxiety they all walked to Jagannatha Puri, where Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu met them as usual. Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu went with them to see the Lord in the temple, and on that day He also took lunch in the company of all those devotees. As previously, the Lord provided them all with residential quarters. And the next morning all the devotees came to see the Lord. When all the devotees came to the place of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, they saw that the same dog was sitting a little apart from the Lord. Furthermore, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was throwing remnants of green coconut pulp to the dog. Smiling in His own way, He was saying to the dog, "Chant the holy names Rama Krishna, and Hari." Seeing the dog eating the green coconut pulp and chanting "Krishna, Krishna" again and again, all the devotees present were very much surprised. When he saw the dog sitting in that way and chanting the name of Krishna, Shivananda, because of his natural humility, immediately offered his obeisances to the dog just to counteract his offenses to it." -Chaitanya-caritamrita, Antya-lila 1.20-31 | Headline | Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Feeds Shivananda's Dog | Copyright Notice | © Copyright The Bhaktivedanta Book Trust International, Inc.
