| FILE INFO | | Caption | "One full-moon night in the month of Vaishakha [April and May], Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu went to a garden. The Lord, along with His devotees, entered one of the nicest gardens, called Jagannatha-vallabha. In the garden were fully blossomed trees and creepers exactly like those in Vrndavana. Bumblebees and birds like the shuka, sari and pika talked with one another. A mild breeze was blowing, carrying the fragrance of aromatic flowers. The breeze had become a guru (teacher) and was teaching all the trees and creepers how to dance. Brightly illuminated by the full moon, the trees and creepers glittered in the light. The six seasons, especially spring, seemed present there. Seeing the garden, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, was very happy. In this atmosphere, the Lord and His associates sing a verse from the Gita-govinda beginning with the words "lalita-lavanga-lata," as He danced and wandered about with them. As He thus wandered around every tree and creeper, He came beneath and ashoka tree and suddenly saw Lord Krishna. When He saw Krishna, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu began running very swiftly, but Krishna smiled and disappeared. Having first gotten Krishna and then having lost Him again, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu fell to the ground unconscious."
