Re: Lord Gauranga - being a Devotee or posing as devotee

> Does it mean there are sannyassis in Vraja? And what does it mean "now and then"?

It happened when Shrimati Radha went into Maana. Please read this this nice pastime as told by His Holiness Gour Govinda Swami.

>What about this point in regard to the eternity in the spiritual world of Goloka Vrindavana? Doesn't Lord Gauranga want to relish this >particular opulence (renunciation) eternally, as it makes Him complete as per the above statement?

He can exhibit it in many other different ways since He is the Lord Himself. His creation itself displays His renunciation. The whole creation is within Him and He is everywhere in this creation but still He remains aloof and does not become attached to it. Of course the eternal abode of Shri Jagannatha Puri Dhaama and Lord Gaura's simultaneous Pastimes as a Sannyasi are also part of Goloka. Puri Dhaama's glories in Goloka are described in the Hari Vamsha. But His Grihastha Pastimes in the eternal Shri Navadvipa Dhaama in Goloka are more well-known to us here in this material world. And in the eternal Navadvipa, He does not become a sannyasi.

Daaso'smi, Swami Gaurangapada.
