Story of the two danda's

Story of the two danda's

Chaitanya Bhagavat mad 5

All the devotees also went to their homes. Lord Nityananda stayed in Srivasa�s home.  Late at night Lord Nityananda, screaming, tore apart His danda and kamandalu, and threw the pieces here and
there. Who understands the Supreme Lord's perfect actions? Why did He break his danda and kamandalu?  At sunrise Ramai Pandita arose. Seeing the broken danda and kamandalu, he was very surprised.  He told everything to Sivasa Pandita. Sivasa said, Go to Lord Caitanya."  Hearing the news from Ramai's mouth, Lord Caitanya came. Lord Nityananda was not in external consciousness. He was laughing wildly. Lord Caitanya picked up the danda in His graceful hands. Taking Lord Nityananda with Him, He went to bathe in the Ganga. Sivasa and the other devotees also came to bathe in the Ganga. Lord Caitanya then threw the danda into the Ganga.


Chaitanya Caritamrita madhya



The devotees could not understand the mystery about why Nityananda Prabhu broke the staff, why Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu permitted Him to do so, or why, after permitting Him, Caitanya Mahaprabhu  expressed anger over Him(Lord Nityananda) ? Dandabhanga liela is supremely mysterious this is not  understandable by all The pastime of the breaking of the staff is very deep. Only one whose devotion is fixed upon the lotus feet of the two Lords can understand it.

This pastime is the very first part in the second half  pastime of Sriman Mahaprabhu and this pastime is mentioned as supremely deep. This word "parama"is never used everywhere. The word "parama" means 'supreme'. And this word 'parama' is never used anywhere else in the  unlimited pastime of Sriman Mahaprabhu. 'Gambhira' or Gabhira as mentioned in the earlier edition of Sri Chaitanya Charitamrita means unlimitedly deep that has no last limit-no end. This pastime is ananta, asesa means Balaram-Ananta and Sesadeva is His second and third name. He Himself in form of Nityananda appeared along with Sri Krssha Caitanya and thus Sriman Mahaprabhu performed this eternal pastime through Him(Lord Nityananda Prabhu). This is very very mysterious, highest and supreme. Leela Madhurya The Juicy Sweet Pastime---Only by the causeless mercy of Sriman Gauranga Mahaprabhu & Lord Nityananda Prabhu this can be realized

The Lord is supremely auspicious. His every single arrangement is for the supreme well-fare for everyone-all the living entities. Every single pastime of The Lord implies different significance. The Lord fulfils His different wishes through different pastimes. Although breaking of the staff Leela has been carried out by the sacred will of Sriman Mahaprabhu, yet, He has expressed somewhat outward anger. After hearing the story about how His staff had been broken, the Lord expressed a little sadness and, displaying a bit of anger, began to speak as follows.
