After accepting the sannyasa order of life, Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu, out of intense love for Krsna, wanted to go to Vrndavana, but apparently by mistake He wandered in the Radha-desa.

Later He arrived at Santipura and enjoyed Himself there with His devotees.

I offer my respectful obeisances to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
