MADHAVENDRA PURI COLLECTS SANDALWOOD

One night at Govardhana Hill, Lord Gopala appeared to Madhavendra Puri in a dream. He said that He was hot, and He asked Madhavendra Puri to go Jagannatha Puri to fetch Him some sandalwood to cool Him down.

Madhavendra Puri went to Jagannatha Puri and collected a large bundle of sandalwood.

On his way home, Madhavendra Puri spent a night in Remuna in the Gopinatha Temple. That night, Lord Gopala appeared to him in another dream and told him to carry the sandalwood no further but to offer it to Lord Gopinatha.

During the entire summer, Lord Gopinatha enjoyed the cooling effects of the sandalwood brought by Madhavendra Puri, and at Govardhana Hill, Lord Gopala simultaneously felt perfectly cool.
