FILE INFO
Caption"Govinda would present the prashada [sacred food that has been offered to the Supreme Lord] and say to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, "This has been given by such and such devotee." The Lord, however, would not actually eat it. He would simply say, "Keep it in storage." Govinda kept accumulating the food, and soon it filled a corner of the room. There was quite enough to feed at least a hundred people. All the devotees asked Govinda with great eagerness, "Have you given Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu the prashada brought by me?" When the devotees questioned Govinda, he had to tell them lies. Therefore one day he spoke to the Lord in disappointment. "Many respectable devotees, headed by Advaita Acharya, make a great endeavor to entrust me with varieties of food for You. You do not eat it, but they ask me again and again. How long shall I go on cheating them? How shall I be freed from this responsibility?" Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu replied, "Why are you so foolishly unhappy? Bring here to Me whatever they have given you." Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu sat down to eat. Then Govinda offered Him the preparations one after another, and as he did so he spoke the name of the person who had given each one."."In this way, Govinda gave everyone's name as he put the food before the Lord. Being very satisfied, the Lord began to eat it all."
-Chaitanya-caritamrita, Antya-lila, 10.110-124
