Modadrumadvipa

There was once a devotee during Lord Caitanya’s time named Saranga Thakur. Lord Caitanya was very pleased with Sarangadeva’s devotion and asked him to make some disciples. Sarangadeva assured the Lord that the next day he would initiate the first person he saw. The next morning, as he was about to step into the Ganges to bathe, he saw a boy’s dead body float past. Remembering his promise to Lord Caitanya, he brought the dead boy’s body to the shore and chanted the initiating mantras into his ear. As soon as the dead boy heard the mantra he came back to life. He offered his obeisances to the feet of Sarangadeva and told him, “Yesterday I was undergoing a ceremony to accept initiation but a black snake came and bit me. I can’t remember anything after that.”
