Cmp 45. Drama Played By Lord Chaitanya Poem by Rajaram Ramachandran

CHAITANYA MAHAPRABHU

Lord Chaitanya told devotees,
To arrange for some costumes,
Like conch shell bangles,
Silk saries, ornaments and cholis.

A drama He wanted to perform.
He said that He would become
Lakshmi Devi, as His main role,
And gave names for other roles.

Rukmani Devi for Gadadhara,
Suprabhata for Brahmananda,
Grand Mother for Nityananda,
Guard role for Haridasa,

Narada Muni for Shrivasa,
Brahmin disciple for Shrirama,
Torchbearer for Shriman,
Stage making for Buddhimanata.

Buddhimanta Khan built,
A nice stage, with all outfits,
The Lord was pleased then,
With the arrangements done.

"Krishna's consort, my role is.
Those who control their senses
Can now come and see it
About others, they cannot."

Like this when the Lord said,
Advaita Acharya replied,
"I've my uncontrolled senses
So, to see it, I've no business."

The same When Shrivasat said,
The Lord laughed and told,
"Then I shall dance for whom,
If you all prefer not to come? "

The drama was played well.
The Lord, in his female role,
Captivated every mind and heart,
Everyone did so well his part.

Feeling uncontrollable happiness,
His Mother fell down unconscious.
Krishna's name when all chanted,
Conscience she slowly regained.
