Summary:

Srila Gurudeva speaks on the 3rd History of the Appearance of Lord Jagannath

- The separation of Krsna towards the gopis and Radhika and Radhika towards Krsna.

- We are followers of Rupa Gosvami and understand his mood during the cart festival

- Pastime at Dwarka where Krsna is unconscious and before Krsna awakens, Subhadra and Baladeva leave for Vrindavan.

Narada wakes Krsna by singing about Radhika and Krsna leaves for Vrindavan.

Krsna melts when he sees Radhika in deep separation and seeing him in this state Baladeva and Subhadra Devi also could not hold themselves back even they began to melt.

Krsna is revived after hearing Radha nama and both meet and all become happy

Krsna blesses Narada and agrees to appear in that form

- Caitanya Mahaprabhu discusses with the residents of Kuliya about the duty of householders - Chanting Krsna nama and serving vaisnavas
