Gauḍīya Ācāryas

Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya

Translation

Frightened cows gave blood instead of milk. Clouds rained puss. The deities shed tears. Trees fell over without any wind. Asṛgdohā means blood came out of the udders. Devaliṅgāni means deities.

Personal Guidance

Cows yield blood instead of milk, clouds rain pus, temple images shed tears, trees fall windless. The natural and sacred world refuses to function normally when the demonic intrudes. Sometimes the very sacraments break down.

Reflection Questions

Have I noticed when usual nourishments (relationships, sources) yield 'blood instead of milk' in my life?
What temple-image tear in my world am I refusing to look at?
