Pastimeof the southindianbrahmana
There is a story regarding a south Indian brahmanawho
was trying to read Bhagavad-gita but he could not do it
properlybecause he was illiterate. He was simply
following his guruâs order.
Lord Caitanya asked him then why he was crying while
reading Gita? Brahmana replied, âI see that although
Krishna is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, He is
driving the chariot for His devotee, Arjuna. Seeing the
affection of the Lord for His dear devotee, I am crying.â

perfectly.â
