# Devotion – Pradyumna Brahmacari

[<mark style="color:red;">**\[2.1-2.35\]**</mark>](https://vedabase.io/en/library/cc/antya/2/)

Pure devotion attracts the Lord’s attention: '*Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu always appeared in four places—in the household temple of mother Sachi, in the places where Sri Nityananda Prabhu danced, in the house of Srivas Pandita during congregational chanting, and in the house of Raghava Pandita. He appeared because of His attraction to the love of His devotees. That is His natural characteristic* [*\[56\]*](#user-content-fn-1)[^1]*.'* Sri Caitanya transformed everyone He met by exhibiting this phenomenal devotion and simultaneously awakening it within them. One such example was Nakula Brahmacari, within whose body Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu actually entered.

Pradyumna Brahmacari, also known as Narasimhananda Brahmacari, was another recipient of Sri Caitanya’s mercy. In Bengal, the devotees were eagerly awaiting Sri Caitanya’s arrival, since He had promised to visit them that year. Seeing no sign of their Lord, the devotees became increasingly anxious. Pradyumna Brahmacari then boldly declared that he would bring the Lord there within three days! He cooked a grand feast and lovingly prepared three plates – for Lord Jagannatha, Sri Caitanya and Lord Narasimhadeva respectively. Pradyumna then began intensely meditating in pure devotion, petitioning Sri Caitanya to come. The Lord’s attention was attracted and He personally descended there to eat all three plates!
