Caitanya Kalpa Taru Advaita Ye Śākhā Guru

In the kalpa-taru tree of Lord Caitanya, Lord Advaita is the great branches. The chanting of the holy name is the blossoming flowers. The bumblebees are the devotees, bees that, always eager to taste the flowers' nectar, chant "Hari!" and fly about on the tree's four sides.

Gadādhara is that tree's great leaves. That tree is like a parasol that gives the cooling shade of fearlessness. The happiness in that shade is more glorious than the happiness in the world of Goloka. Deprived of ecstatic spiritual love, the souls in the three yugas suffer in the heat of the day. But when they sit under this tree, they find cooling bliss.

The fruit of this tree bears the name Nityānanda. That fruit is delicious with the nectar of ecstatic spiritual love. That fruit is very sweet to eat. In heis heart Śrī Śukadeva knows how sweet that fruit is. Uddhava dasa is a fly that somehow has landed on one of those fruits.
