Advaita Acarya invites

Lord Caitanya to appear

Five hundred years ago, in the city of Navadvipa in West

Bengal, there lived a devotee named Advaita Prabhu. He
had long white hair and a long white beard and was wise.
Every day He gave lectures from the scriptures, and all the
devotees from the area were coming to hear them. His
house was a place of joy and happiness, filled with the
sounds of constant chanting of the holy names of God.
Because of His great wisdom, compassion, and proper
conduct, he bore the honorary title of "acarya," and was
known as Advaita Acarya.

Although He was always content with himself, Advaita

Acarya was sad about the unhappy people around him. He
saw that people are greedy and always eager to satisfy only
themselves. He saw how often they quarrel, and speak lies
and bad words to each other. Above all, He saw that
they knew nothing about the pure devotional service of
Lord Krishna. Advaita Acarya knew that people without
devotional service to God could not attain true happiness
and the ultimate goal of life. So He was constantly thinking
about how to help them and bring them closer to that goal.
After deep reflection, Advaita Acarya concluded, “People
have now fallen so deeply into ignorance because of the
influence of the age of Kali, that only God can save them
personally. I shall call Him to come down on Earth to save
the fallen souls of the age of Kali!"

Thus Advaita Prabhu sat down on the bank of the river
Ganges and began to worship the Supreme Personality of
Godhead in the form of a shalagrama shila, offering Him the
leaves of the Tulasi plant and the water of the river Ganges.
He knew that the Lord would be pleased by this
simple offering because there is nothing more sacred in this
world than the Tulasi plant and river Ganges, which
represent the Goddess of all plants and the Goddess of all
rivers. Advaita Acarya would cry in ecstasy
and call loudly the name of the Lord: Hari! Hari! In this way,
He was perfectly worshiping Lord Krishna. And His loud call
reached Shvetadvip, the transcendental abode of Lord
Vishnu.

Lord Vishnu was sleeping comfortably in His abode on the

planet Shvetadvip when something woke Him from His
sleep. His wife, Lakshmi Devi, asked in surprise, "My Lord,
what happened? What tore You from the comfort of Your
sleep?" Lord Vishnu replied, "I have heard the call of My
dear devotee who I cannot ignore. I must begin to prepare
to go to Earth, to save the fallen souls of the age of Kali. I am
going to spread the chanting of the Holy Names that will
stop the suffering of all living beings, and I will enjoy
the sankirtana pastimes in the company of My confidential
associates."
Thus Advaita Acarya invited Lord Krishna to come to the
material world as Kali-yuga avatar, Lord Caitanya
Mahaprabhu, and flood the whole world with love for God.
