Śrīla Prabhupāda, in Māyāpur we see so many pilgrims coming from Assam, Nagaland and Manipur. They're having this Vaiṣṇava tilaka, Gauḍīya-Vaiṣṇava tilaka, and they also worship Caitanya Mahāprabhu. How is that influence also there?
Prabhupāda: Caitanya Mahāprabhu went there.
Devotee (1): He went to Manipur then.
Gurudāsa: Wasn't it one of the times he was going to Vṛndāvana but didn't go, then He went to Manipur? Is that correct?
Prabhupāda: I do not know. But Caitanya Mahāprabhu used to go and preach in eastern Bengal. And His original paternal house is in Sylhet.
Dr. Patel: It is in Assam.
Prabhupāda: Yes. His forefathers from Sylhet. Jagannātha Miśra, His father came from Sylhet to Navadvipa for studying. Then Nilambara Cakravartī got him married with his daughter, Caitanya Mahāprabhu's mother. And he resided in Nabadwip.
Gurudāsa: There's one temple in Vṛndāvana where they have Deities of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda that look like Manipur. They made His eyes like that.
Prabhupāda: That is not so good. If you make any picture, then you paint according to the people's, local people's feature. Kata catur anana, mani mani yāvat. Vidyāpati. You have heard the name of Vidyāpati? He was a great poet of Darbhanga.
Dr. Patel: Vṛndāvana?
Prabhupāda: No, no. Darbhanga, the entrance to Bengal from Bihar.
Dr. Patel: Darbhanga. "Door to Bengal."
Prabhupāda: Hardwar. "Door to Hari." Dwar means gate.
Gurudāsa: Someone invited me last year to Hardwar for the kumbha, and I said, "Why should I go to the door when I live in the house?" I was in Vṛndāvana.
Prabhupāda: We are not interested with the door. "You are doormen, dvar-men. We are inmates." That Vidyāpati has sung, kata catur anana, mari mari yāvata. Catur anana means Brahmā. They also die. And kata means "how many."
