Who is Purushottama?

Harikatha, Sreela Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj

Srila Gurudev explains who Purushottam is. Krishna Himself instructed us in Srimad Bhagavad Gita, "I am beyond the comprehension of the mind, intelligence and senses of the conditioned souls of this world. I am the Supremely superior to the formless impersonal brahman and also Paramatma, the object of worship of gyānis and yogis, so I am called Purushottam." So Purushottama is the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna Himself. Also, the fountainhead of all incarnations, the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna appeared in this special Kaliyuga, taking the mood and complexion of His internal potency Srimati Radharani, as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, He is also Purushottam. He is identical with Krishna. Lord Jagannath, who resides in Puri Dham is also Purushottam, He is Krishna Himself. So we have to serve Sri Krishna, Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Jagannathdev in this holiest month.

Sri Jagannatha Ratha-Yatra

In the beginning Sriman Mahaprabhu for His first twenty four years acted as a regular householder in Sridham Navadvipa. He after that time, in the holy City of Puri in His role as a renunciate, began exhibiting the pangs of intense separation characteristic of high devotional moods. Apparently, although it was His mother's behest in Advaita Bhavan for Himself to reside in the holy City of Puri, in actual fact it was all His own very plan. Puri City is the Supreme Lord's natural abode. The other familiar names for this City are Purusottama, Sri Ksetra, Nilacala, Lord Sri Krishna at one time, informed Sri Mahadeva about His hidden realm Puri whose glories are understood by only a very few (Chaitanya Bhagavata Antya 2nd).

Vṛndāvane Chalo! He Gopīnātha

The love of the Vrajavāsis for Śrī Kṛṣṇa is unparalleled and supreme. When they heard that Kṛṣṇa would be coming to Kurukṣetra from Dvārakā, their hearts surged with longing. Though uninvited, they could not restrain themselves—they were compelled by the fire of separation to catch even a glimpse of their beloved. This episode beautifully reveals the depth and intensity of their love, which knows no bounds, follows no protocol, and seeks no reward—only union with Kṛṣṇa.
