On Sri Ramananda Raya’s disappearance day, Giriraj read and spoke from Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, Madhya-lila, Chapter 8.
” ‘Although Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Ramananda Raya were embracing in ecstasy, the Lord restrained His transcendental emotions upon seeing the outsider brahmanas.’ (Cc Madhya 8.28purport)
“In this verse the word vijatiya, which means ‘outsider,’ appears. And opposed to that is sajatiya. Because the brahmanas werevijatiya, or outsiders—in other words, they were not pure devotees who could understand the loving exchanges between Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Ramananda Raya—Lord Caitanya restrained His emotions so that they would not be bewildered and commit offenses.
“One of Srila Prabhupada’s early disciples, Gargamuni, told Srila Prabhupada that sometimes he felt like crying in kirtan. Srila Prabhupada replied, ‘It is all right when you are with devotees, because they will understand. Otherwise, you should not. ”
