Description

Going into South India, he came to the village of Remuna where Gopinath is situated. And upon seeing the beauty of the deity Madhavendra Puri was overwhelmed. In the courtyard of the temple where the general people had the darshan of the Lord, Madhavendra Puri in great love began to sing and dance in the glorification of Sri Gopinath. Then he sat down and enquired from the brahman, "What kind of food was offered to the deity?" You see, Madhavendra Puri had such a service attitude...he was not coming to enjoy the beautiful darshan of Gopinath. He was coming with the idea, how can I better serve Gopal? Gopinath and Gopal are the same. He was always thinking of serving his Gopal in every situation. He was taking every opportunity as an opportunity to serve Gopal. So he was thinking that obviously I can see by this temple so many wonderful arrangements have been made, they must have the highest quality of bhoga offered to the Lord. So that I can learn these things and bring them to Gopal and prepare them for my Lord, Thakurji. So he enquired from the priest, and the priest explained to him the varieties of food that were offered to Gopinath. And then he told him that in the evening, there's an offering of kheer - in twelve earthen pots. And because the taste is like nectar, it is called Amritakeli.
