Hare Krishna!
Today I went by bike to a remote village by the name Bellpuckur ( about an hour ride by bike from Mayapur). Actually I went there to pick up some woolen balls that I had ordered for my dolls.
Someone told me that near by the house, where they make the woolen balls, was a small temple with a very ancient deity. So, this time I went and visited this Deity. His Name is Madan-Gopal.
What a beautiful deity it was! This Krishna deity looked like a charming little boy. When I saw Him, I immediately started crying. After giving the Pujari a jar of Ghee that I had made, I quickly rode away on my bicycle. I felt that I am not qualified to stay at such a sacred place. Now I can't get this little boy out of my mind. He stole my heart.
Later on I found out that this deity belonged to Lord Caitanya's maternal grandfather, Nilambara Cakravarti Thakur.This beautiful deity is said to have been worshiped by Nilambara Cakravarti Thakur, the father of Mother Sachidevi. I feel very fortunate of having being granted darshan of this beautiful deity.

Sorry, I had made a mistake in my post. It should be correct now. Nilambara Cakravarti Thakur was the grandfather, not the uncle of Lord Caitanya.
