AMRA GHATA
Once while performing Harinama Sankirtana Lord Caitanya noticed the devotees were becoming tired. He stopped the kirtana and planted a mango seed in the ground at this spot. Within minutes a huge mango tree grew covered in big, beautiful, red and yellow mangoes that had no skin or seeds. Lord Caitanya picked around 200 mangoes, one for each devotee present. He washed the mangoes and offered them all to Lord Sri Krishna. Gaurasundara then ate one mango and after washing His hands, distributed the rest of the mangoes to the devotees. One mango was enough to completely satisfy each devotee. Daily after kirtana with Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda Prabhu, the devotees would hold a mango eating festival. The tree supplied mangoes every day for one year without interruption. After one year, by the desire of Lord, it suddenly disappeared.
