Srila Prabhupada Describes a Summary of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's Childhood Lila..Part 1

TRANSLATION

After some days the Lord began to crawl on His knees, and He caused various wonderful things to be seen.

PURPORT

The Caitanya-bhagavata describes that one day while the Lord was crawling upon His knees, the bells on His waist ringing very sweetly, a snake came out to crawl in the yard of the Lord, who captured the snake like a curious child. Immediately the snake coiled over Him. The Lord as a child then rested on the snake, and after some time the snake went away, leaving the Lord aside.>>> Ref. VedaBase => 

Adi 14.21

TRANSLATION
The Lord caused all the ladies to chant the holy names of the Hare Krsna maha-mantra on the plea of His crying, and while they chanted the Lord would smile.

PURPORT

In the Caitanya-bhagavata this pastime is described as follows: "The Lord, with His beautiful eyes, would cry, but He would stop immediately upon hearing the Hare Krsna maha-mantra. When the ladies, understanding the fun of the Lord, discovered that He would cry and then stop upon hearing the chanting of the Hare Krsna mantra, they all took it as a clue to chant Hare Krsna as soon as the Lord cried. Thus it became a regular function. 

The Lord would cry, and the ladies would begin chanting the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, clapping their hands. In this way all the ladies of the neighboring houses would assemble in the home of Sacimata to join in the sankirtana movement twenty-four hours a day. As long as the ladies continued to chant the Hare Krsna maha-mantra, the Lord would not cry but would very pleasingly smile upon them.">>> Ref. VedaBase => Adi 14.22

TRANSLATION

On one occasion the Lord ate the food of a brahma?a guest three times, and later, in confidence, the Lord delivered that brahma?a from material engagement.

PURPORT

The story of the deliverance of this brahmana is as follows. A brahmana who was touring all over the country, traveling from one place of pilgrimage to another, reached Navadvipa and became a guest in the house of Jagannatha Misra. Jagannatha Misra gave him all ingredients for cooking, and the brahmana prepared his food. When the brahmana was offering the food to Lord Visnu in meditation, child Nimai came before him and began to eat it, and because of this the brahmana thought the whole offering had been spoiled. 

Therefore by the request of Jagannatha Misra he cooked for a second time, but when he was meditating the child again came before him and began to eat the food, again spoiling the offering. By the request of Jagannatha Misra the brahmana cooked for a third time, but for a third time the Lord came before him and began to eat the food, although the child had been locked within a room and everyone was sleeping because it was late at night. 

Thus, thinking that on that day Lord Visnu was not willing to accept his food and that he was therefore ordained to fast, the brahmana became greatly agitated and cried aloud, haya haya: "What has been done! What has been done!" When Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu saw the brahmana in that agitated state, He told him, "Formerly I was the son of Mother Yasoda. At that time also you became a guest in the house of Nanda Maharaja, and I disturbed you in this way. I am very much pleased by your devotion. 

Therefore I am eating the food you have prepared." Understanding the favor offered to him by the Lord, the brahmana was greatly pleased, and he was overwhelmed with love of Krsna. He was thankful to the Lord, for he felt himself greatly fortunate. Then the Lord asked the brahmana not to disclose the incident to anyone else. This pastime is very elaborately explained in the Caitanya-bhagavata, Adi-khanda, Chapter Five.>>> Ref. VedaBase => Adi 14.37

USA ECONOMY

Ray Dalio warns the U.S. faces an imminent debt crisis as its debt-to-GDP ratio climbs past 122%, with experts worried foreign buyers will pull back or raise interest payments, making borrowing unsustainable. He suggests drastic measures may be needed, including debt restructuring, political pressure on buyers, and potentially cutting payments to certain countries.

PADA: Thanks prabhu. Yes a tariff is simply another tax. None of this is producing wealth. Real wealth is to produce a product, not to tax a product. Especially not to tax something made in another land like China. It just means the prices will raise, and that will cause more inflation, or in sum -- making the already artificial bloated currency being more bloated than it already is.  

Formerly people would produce wealth in the shape of agriculture, cows, and making actual concrete things like furniture, clothes, shoes, jewelry, boats etc. Making more taxes is not producing anything, except, more deficits. Yeah this bloated currency problem is not being solved with more bloat. Agreed. ys pd
