Giriraj Swami discusses how we can appreciate the identity of the Deity and the holy name, following Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who felt separation from Lord Jagannatha between Snana-yatra and Ratha-yatra but found solace in the ecstasy of nama-sankirtana. Important instructions for devotees who worship or even see the Deity, or chant the holy name.
