Lord Chaitanya fainting in the temple of Lord Jagannatha

Govinda Dasi : Most significantly, Swamiji’s guidance was essential for the picture of Lord Chaitanya fainting in the temple of Lord Jagannatha. No Westerner has been allowed in this temple, and I had never even been to India! Our only information was coming directly from Srila Prabhupada.

He described that the temple was dark inside, except for the ghee lamps on the altar, and the priests were sitting atop the tall platform, where the Deities of Lord Jagannatha, Lord Baladeva, and Lady Subhadra also sat. This particular drawing was done slowly and carefully with many consultations with Srila Prabhupada – who was, after all, staying in the next room. So it was quite easy to consult with him on every detail!
