Appearance day of Sri Advaita Acharya. Fasting till noon.

 

Tomorrow is the appearance day of Sri Advaita Acharya. Fasting till noon.

Advaita Ācārya, He was gṛhastha. He became very, very sorry that people are so much suffering = "It is not in My power to elevate them. Unless Kṛṣṇa personally comes, it is not possible." Therefore He offered to Lord Viṣṇu gaṅgā-jāl, tulasī, praying, "Please come. People are very much suffering. So if You come..." And on His request Kṛṣṇa came in the form of Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
