On this day, the holy advent of Srimati Visnupriya Devi occurred. She is the eternal consort of Sri Gaurasundar in his feature of Gaura-Narayana, and according to Sri Gauraganoddesa-dipika, she is directly Satyabhama in Krishna's Dwaraka-lila.
She was the ideal of divine self-surrender at the lotus feet of Mahaprabhu.
When she was only fourteen, Mahaprabhu took sannyasa, and after that she lived the rest of her life in penance. From early morning she would take the Holy Name the whole day, and for every Mahamantra that she chanted, she would put one grain of rice into a clay pot. After chanting her quota, she would take that rice and cook it and offer it to the Lord. That was all she would take for her subsisitence, so gradually she became emaciated. She passed her days in this way.
Her brother was her guardian after Sacidevi departed, and ultimately she had a Sri Murti (Deity) of Mahaprabhu, and she would worship Him in that form. And since the time of Visnupriya, that worship is being continued up to the present in the Temple here in Navadvipa known as 'Mahaprabhura Badi (the house of Mahaprabhu). So this day of the year is connected with her holy memory, and we may achieve her Grace if we honor this time in her name, discussing her pastimes. she will be propitiated and Sri Caitanyadeva will also be pleased with us, giving us a step forward in our transcendental march towards him.

En este día, el advenimiento Srimati Visnupriya Devi ocurrió. Ella es la consorte eterna de Sri Gaurasundar en su función de Gaura-Narayana, y de acuerdo con Sri Gauraganoddesa-dipika, ella es directamente Satyabhama de Krishna en Dwaraka-lila.
Ella era el ideal de la divina auto-entrega a los pies de loto de Mahaprabhu.
Cuando sólo tenía catorce años, Mahaprabhu tomó sannyasa, y después ella vivió el resto de su vida en penitencia. Desde la mañana temprano cantaba el Santo Nombre, y por cada Mahamantra que ella cantaba, ella ponía un grano de arroz en una olla de barro. Después de cantar su cuota, tomaba el arroz, lo cocinaba y ofrecía al Señor. Eso era todo lo que ella comía, por lo que poco a poco se quedó muy flaca y así ella pasó sus días de esta manera.
Su hermano era su tutor después de que Saci devi partió, y en última instancia, ella tenía un Sri Murti (deidad) de Mahaprabhu, y ella lo adoraba en esa forma. Y desde el tiempo de Visnupriya, esta adoración se continuó hasta el presente en el templo, en Navadvipa conocido como 'Mahaprabhura Badi (la casa de Mahaprabhu). Por lo que este día del año está conectado con su santa memoria, y que puede alcanzar su gracia si honramos esta vez en su nombre, hablar de sus pasatiempos. ella se propició y Sri Caitanyadeva también estará contento con nosotros, que nos da un paso adelante en nuestra marcha trascendental hacia él.
