March 20 2012, Vrimdavan, India — This is a lovely colorful video of the ecstatic Boat Festival at the Krsna Balaram Mandir \o/
Thus all the Vaishnavas from Bengal went to Jagannatha Puri. By chance, they arrived on the day when Lord Jagannatha performs pastimes in the water.
Boarding a boat in the waters of Narendra-sarovara, Lord Govinda performed His water pastimes with all the devotees.
Then Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu arrived with His personal associates to see the jubilant pastimes of Lord Jagannatha in the Narendra-sarovara.
At the same time, all the devotees from Bengal arrived at the lake and had a great meeting with the Lord.
All the devotees immediately fell at the lotus feet of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and the Lord lifted and embraced every one of them.
The Gaudiya-sampradaya, consisting of all the devotees from Bengal, began congregational chanting. When they met the Lord, they began to cry loudly in ecstatic love.
Because of the pastimes in the water, there was great jubilation on the shore, with music, singing, chanting, dancing and tumultuous crying.
The chanting and crying of the Gaudiya Vaishnavas mixed and created a tumultuous sound vibration that filled the entire universe.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu entered the water with His devotees and began His pastimes with them in great jubilation.
In his Caitanya-mangala [now known as Caitanya-bhagavata], Vrindavana dasa Thakura has given a detailed description of the activities the Lord performed in the water.
