While he was staying in Navadvipa, he became the object of great affection and acclaim. On one occasion, the famous landlord, Shrinath Rai, and several family members went to have an audience with the famous saintly person. Not recognizing him they asked if he knew where the famous siddha baba lived. Srila Babaji Maharaja replied, "I don't know anyone who is a siddha baba here. I am staying here, but I am simply an ordinary living entity like all of you."

Dear Shiva, I know that you are the controller of the entire material manifestation, the combination father and mother of the cosmic manifestation, and the Supreme Brahman beyond the cosmic manifestation as well.

There is a song by Narottama Dasa Thakur - Nitai-pada-kamala, koti-candra-sushitala - If we take shelter of Nityananda Prabhu, then we get peace. Koti-candra-sushitala - Just like in daytime, especially in the summer season, we become very much exasperated. But at night, in the evening, as soon as there is moonshine, we become very much satisfied. All day's labor and fatigue is immediately moved. So nitai-pada-kamala, the shade of Nityananda Prabhu's lotus feet, is koti-candra-sushitala, as pleasing as one crore of moonshine. The light of one moon gives us so much pleasure. So if we want actually peace of mind, if we actually want to be free from this material fatigue, then we must take tshelter of Nityananda Prabhu.

Across the Ganga from Pancaveni, is Koladvipa where the Lord in His form of a boar appeared to His devotee. In the scriptures this place is called Varaha-kshetra. (Navadvip-bhava-taranga)

Shri Koladvipa

All glories to Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu! All glories to Nityananda Prabhu! All glories to Shri Advaita Prabbu and the devotees of Lord Caitanya headed by Shrivasa Thakur! All glories to Gaura-bhumi, the essence of all abodes, where Shri Caitanya descended with the holy name.
