Lord's Grand Revelation

One day, Lord Gauranga accompanied by Sri Nityananda, met the devotees of Navadweep who had assembled at the house of Pandit Srivas. When the Sankirtan started, the Lord revealed Himself, out of His own accord, in all His Magnificence, Glory, Power, Beauty, Intelligence and Freedom and sat on the throne of Sri Vishnu in the temple of Pandit Srivas. Then the Lord, asked His devotees to perform Abhiseka to Him as was done under the auspicious of Sri Advaitacharya with various puja offerings, such as flowers, Ganga water, Panchamrita and sweet of all kinds. Among the devotees, who had brought the Ganga water for Abhiseka, was one maid servant named Dukhi in Srivas's family. As a reward, after faithful services to the Vaishnavas, Gauranga was graciously pleased to name her Sukhi instead of Dukhi. The devotees began to sing hymns in praise of the Lord and qualities of His various manifestations in different ages. He then began to remind them of their past secret mishaps of life and His help unto them. Once Pandit Srivas, overwhelmed with Divine Ecstatic Love, began to weep while hearing Srimad Bhagavatam discourses delivered by Devananda of Navadweep. Mistaking him to be a disturbing element, the pupils of Devananda dragged him out. At this, the Lord appearing in the pure heart of Srivas, made him intoxicated and shed torrents of tears of Love for Sri Krishna. Another instance cited by the Lord was that a devotee who was present there was cured of his virulent type of fever, by Gauranga in the role of a physician. A third instance was that when Pandit Gangadas was running away for life with family at dead of night in fear of oppression at the hands of rulers of Navadweep, the Lord graciously ferried him with his family over the river Ganga, then in spate for a tip of only rupee one and a pair of clothes.
