Upon arriving there, Syamananda paid his obeisances to his Guru, and Hridaya Caitanya Prabhu embraced him and inquired about the well-being of the Gosvamis of Vrindavana. When he heard that the books of the Gosvamis had been stolen in Visnupura, he was very concerned.

Syamananda served the lotus feet of his Guru in great happiness and in this way passed his days.

At this time most of the devotees of Lord Caitanya in Orissa had passed away. Thus the preaching of Mahaprabhu’s teachings had come to a halt. Hridaya Caitanya Prabhu considered this a very serious problem and finally instructed Syamananda Prabhu to go to Orissa to carry on the preaching of Mahaprabhu’s mission.

Syamananda was at first very sad that he would have to be separated again so soon from his spiritual master, but Hridaya Caitanya Prabhu explained clearly that he should accept this order as his responsibility.

This is a section of the book “Syamananda, the Joy of Radharani (English)”.
