In the Hindi periodical “KALYAN” Vol-26, No-1 titled “Bhakta-Charitanka”, from Geeta Press, Gorakhpur; edited by Bhakta Sri Hanumanprasad Poddar & published by Sri Ghanashyamdas Jalan, a very brief narration about Prabhu Jagadbandhu appears at Page 743. I am inserting here pictorial clips of the original print – 1) the entire text in 2 columns and 2) the texts in separate columns for ease of reading.
We have read lot more about Prabhu who is the Lord Supreme and incarnation of Lord Krishna-Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, and these are available in this blog also, but this clip is being inserted as, one of the most important signs of Prabhu’s God-head has been mentioned here. It has been written here [quote] that Prabhu had a Divya-Jyoti, divine light on his bosom which he always kept covered by his clothes as the light had such divinity that it was impossible for normal human to bear it. He always used to tell people not to try to look at it. When someone, disregarding his instruction, had looked at it at some unguarded moment, the person had fainted. [unquote]
Once, one of his sisters had seen it and screamed out saying –“Jagat! what is that intense light on your chest?” Prabhu had replied – “It is calledVrigupada Chinha”, that is, the footprint of great saintVrigumuni who is said to have once put his foot on Lord Vishnu’s chest, as per the scriptures. This article in Kalyan has written about his Samadhi, but, it has not written about what happened after that which I must mention here. Actually, after few days, some of his superior devotees had a realization that Prabhu is still there in the body and it should not have been buried. They brought the divine body out and started chanting Mahanam surrounding his body in the belief that some day He will rise again. This Chanting or Mahakirtan is continuing even now round the clock for the last 112 years. Prabhu’s body is kept now at Ghurnee Math near Krishnanagar, West Bengal where this Kirtan is performed round the clock uninterrupted. Prabhu’s reappearance or rise from the body as believed by His devotees, whether or not, if yes then when, will it happen we do not know. But Prabhu had said –“I belong to Harinam and you can keep me alive only though chanting of Harinam”, so, we believe Prabhu is there as long as Harinam is being sung. Thus, Prabhu has gifted us with the most sacred task of singing Harinam, uninterruptedly round the clock which definitely brings a lot of good to the mankind as a whole.
