When Mahaprabhu returned from Gaya, he began to display all the symptoms of one who is intoxicated with love of God. Though nothing could have been more auspicious than this, Sachi Mata became terrified, thinking that her son has gone mad. Word of her anxiety came to Srivas and he came to see her and Nimai. When Srivas came near Him, Mahaprabhu was immediately overcome with divine ecstasy on seeing a devotee of Krishna. When He had recovered, the Lord said, "Everyone thinks that I have gone crazy. They say my humors are disturbed. What do you think has happened to me?" Srivas laughed and answered, "If your humors have become disturbed, then I want same of that, too. I see that powerful devotional feelings have entered your body. This means that Krishna has been merciful to you."
 
A relieved Mahaprabhu embraced Srivas and said, "If you too had said that I was going mad, I would have drowned myself in the Ganges." (ChaitanyaBhagavat 2.2.113-7)
 
When Mahaprabhu instituted the loud chanting of the holy names in His own house and in that of Srivas, all the atheistic neighbors began to complain that they were losing sleep because of the noise. They looked for ways to counter the movement and even started false rumors that the king would come soon to punish the devotees. The impressionable SrivasPandit believed these stories and was filled with anxiety. He began to worship Nrisingha Deva for protection.
 
Understanding that Srivas was afraid, the Lord, who takes away the distress of His devotees, went to his house. He kicked open the door and said, "Who are you worshiping? Who are you meditating on? Behold! He whom you are worshiping is standing before you. I will save the righteous and destroy the wicked. You should worry no longer!" So saying, He sat down in the heroic posture (virasana) and revealed the divine form of Nrisingha, holding conch, discus, club and lotus.
 
When Srivas saw this extraordinary manifestation of the Lord, he was overcome with feelings of love and began to recite hymns of praise. Mahaprabhu was pleased with Srivas’s recital and told him to call his wife and family members to see His divine form. He gave His prasad to Narayani and showed His mercy to her by making her utter the Holy Name. Just as the devotee is dear to the Lord, the Lord is also dear to His devotee. On 01 April 08.
