Our padayatra party had been walking for twenty kilometres when suddenly the <em>ratha <\/em>(cart) stopped moving. We all tried to get it moving again but it was stuck. So, we decided since it was almost time for us to have our afternoon prasadam, we would stop there for the time being.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dream come true<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While thinking about what we could do to get the cart moving again a came out of one house we had stopped close to. She was in tears as she looked up at Sri Nitai Gaurasundar and paid obeisances. Afterwards she came to speak to us and it so happens she had dreamt about our padayatra last night. She said that in her dream Sri Nitai Gaurasundar had said to her, \u201cWe will come to your house to have prasadam.\u201d\u00a0 \u2018After waking, she was surprised and couldn\u2019t understand how this would happen. She exclaimed, \u201cNow I see the padayatra cart standing in front of my house and I cannot believe it. If I wasn\u2019t here today I would have missed seeing and serving Sri Nitai Gaurasundar. All glories to Them, They are all merciful!\u201d She was overwhelmed that Their Lordships had stopped to give her darsana and to accept her service.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Lord\u2019s arrangements<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We were all amazed to hear this story. The woman was a disciple of Bhakti Vikas Maharaj, and she and her husband invited us into their home. We took the small festival deities of Sri Nitai Gaurasundar with us and we had a program of kirtana and prasadam. The Lord makes His own arrangements to travel to the homes of his devotees who are eagerly awaiting His darsana. \u00a0This is the reason Sri Nitai Gaurasundar are on padayatra, so They can give darsana to everyone. As Lord Caitanya states in Caitanya Bhagvat, \u201cPrithivi te ache joto nagar adi gram, sarvatra prachar hoibe mora naam\u201d the Holy Names will be preached in all the villages and towns of the world.<\/p>\n<p>Jai Sri Sri Nitai Gaurasundar ki!
