It is mango season in India!!! The mangoes that are available here are far better than the ones we get in the States. They do not have to be frozen and then shipped halfway across the world. I remember when I first gave a mango to my son a few years ago he would not have anything to do with it. Now it is a whole different story. Instead of asking for ice cream or cookies he asks for mango. They are also a lot cheaper here. I bought 20 mangoes for about 50 cents. In fact when we walk through the forest here on the bank of the Jalangi we run into mango trees all of the time. These trees are decorated with an abundance ripe mangoes. Actually many of the trees here give some kind of fruit or flower ( leechi, coconut trees, banana trees, jasmine, gardenia and many others) Everyday we offer Gaura-Nitai 15 or 20 mangoes and then distribute them to friends.
Once Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu planted a Mango seed here in Godrumadwipa. The tree grew immediately and contained fully ripe mangoes from the beginning. Not only that but these mangoes had no seed or skin. One mango from this tree would fully satisfy one materially and spiritually.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu ki jay!!!
