“Listen Jiva, on the Phalguna Purnima, one who fasts here at Ganga-nagara, takes bath in the Ganges here, and worships Gauranga will cross over the material ocean along with his ancestors. Along with one thou- sand ancestors, he attains Goloka after death no matter where he dies. “Just see the difference between Vraja-tattva and Navadvipa-tattva. Those who offend Krsna are liberated by merging into the Lord’s effulgence, where- as in Navadvipa the offenders receive the treasure of love of God. Therefore, Lord Gauranga’s pastimes are considered the highest. Gauranga’s abode, name, form, and qualities do not consider offense; rather, they ex- pertly deliver one from any offense. If the devotee has some offense in his heart, then Krsna’s name and abode will deliver him only after a long time. But Gauranga’s name and abode immediately bestow prema on the devotee, for offenses create no obstacle and are easi- ly overcome. O Jiva, see the Kazi’s samadhi. By seeing this samadhi the living entities’ old age and disease are vanquished.”
