NRSIMHANANDA BRAHMACARI'S JEWEL ROAD
When Sri Nrsimhananda Brahmacari heard that Lord Caitanya would go to Vṛndāvana, he became very pleased and mentally began decorating the way there.
First he contemplated a broad road starting from the city of Kuliyă. Then he bedecked the road with jewels, upon which he then laid a bed of stemless flowers. He mentally decorated both sides of the road with bakula flower trees, and at intervals on both sides he placed lakes of a transcendental nature. These lakes had bathing places constructed with jewels, and they were filled with blossoming lotus flowers. There were various birds chirping, and the water was exactly like nectar. The entire road was surcharged with many cool breezes, which carried the fragrances from various flowers. He carried the construction of this road as far as Kanai Natasală.

Lord Caitanya always chants the holy name of Krsna and describes it also, and because He is Krsna Himself, whoever meets Him will automatically chant the holy name of Krsna and later describe it to others. He injects one with transcendental Krsna consciousness, which merges the chanter in transcendental bliss. Simply by seeing Lord Caitanya a person at once remembers Lord Krsna. One may therefore accept Him as visnu-tattva. In other words, Lord Caitanya is Krsna Himself.
His body is always decorated with ornaments of sandalwood and with sandalwood paste. By His superexcellent beauty He subdues all the people of this age. In other descents the Lord sometimes used weapons to defeat the demoniac, but in the age of Kali the Lord subdues them with His all-attractive figure as Caitanya Mahaprabhu. He is so kind that He is distributing freely love of Krsna, Everyone should be attracted more and more to His lotus feet, as humming bees are attracted to a lotus flower.
Lord Caitanya taught Krsna consciousness and chanted the name of Krsna. Therefore, to worship Lord Caitanya, everyone should together chant the maha-mantra - Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare/ Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
