Megher Chara

 

Information – This place is between Belpukur and Sonadanga villages. Once, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu along with His devotees was passing through this place on nagara-sankirtana. Suddenly a very dark cloud appeared in the sky. The devotees were worried that there would be heavy rain which would disrupt their sankirtana but Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu waved His cloth asking the clouds to disappear and they immediately dispersed on the order of the Lord.

The characteristics of Mādhavendra Purī are most wonderful; he fell unconscious just by seeing a dark cloud.
COMMENTARY
The megha, or “cloud” is an uddīpana, or reminder, of Kṛṣṇa, whose complexion resembles a newly formed cloud.
(Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata, Ādi-khaṇḍa 9.175)

The ecstatic love of Mādhava Purī is beyond description. He would lose consciousness upon seeing a cloud.
COMMENTARY
The ecstatic love of Śrī Mādhavendra is extraordinary. When ordinary people see a cloud, they think it may rain, and nice crops will grow, and the earth will cool. But Mādhavendra Purī saw the complexion of Kṛṣṇa within the cloud, and he became so absorbed in thoughts of Kṛṣṇa that he became completely aloof from the propensity to enjoy this external world and lost consciousness.
(Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata, Antya-khaṇḍa 4.437)

The present day village of Vāmana-pukura was then known as Belpukura, but when this ancient village of Belpukura was shifted to Meghāra-caḍā at the end of the seventeenth century it became known as Vāmana-pukura.
(Śrī Caitanya-bhāgavata, Adi-khaṇḍa 1.7 Commentary)
