Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Also there is a story in the Bhāgavatam about the girls, they were offering to Lord Śiva.
Prabhupāda: Yes. That is another feature of Lord Caitanya. He taught in that instruction that there is no need of worshiping demigods. The incident is that in India the unmarried girls, they are encouraged to worship Lord Śiva, especially in the month of Vaiśākha, March-April. And they will go to the Ganges side and prepare śivaliṅga, and they'll . . . that means Śiva will be pleased upon them to offer a husband like Lord Śiva. Śiva is very peaceful and very great devotee, and most powerful at the same time. So that is the ideal husband.
So they brought worshipable paraphernalia for worshiping Śiva on the bank of the Ganges, and Caitanya Mahāprabhu, as naughty boy, approached them: "Oh, My dear sister, what you are doing? Oh, you have brought so many nice things. Give it to Me, and Lord Śiva will be very much pleased. Oh, you are worshiping Durga? She is My maidservant, and Lord Śiva is a great devotee of Me. So you please offer Me all these things; they will be satisfied. You don't require to offer separately." By this, He wanted to instruct that worshiping the Supreme Lord is the appeasement of other demigods. You don't require to appease them separately. This instruction.
Then some girls will hesitate. Then He will curse them that, "You'll be married with an old man having seven children by his former wife." So they will be afraid, "Oh, maybe this boy is cursing . . . " Then out of fear they'll offer. Then He'll say: "Oh, you'll have a very nice young husband, and you'll have seven children by him." In this way it was going on.
Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Lord Caitanya is always doing this on a planet in the material . . . some material universe? These girls . . . all of these pastimes are eternal pastimes.
Prabhupāda: Hmm? No. These are not eternal pastimes. They are instructive particularly for this planet. In the eternal Vaikuṇṭha, Lord Caitanya is engaged in chanting and dancing. That's all.
