As evidence of empowerment, it's significant how the Caitanya Bhagvat
describes Kolaveca Sridhara's prayers to Sri Caitanya. After the Lord
commanded Kolaveca to recite prayers, Kolaveca said he was worthless,
incompetent and unable to utter anything worthy of the Lord. But the
Lord insisted, telling him to say anything, and He would consider it
prayer. Then, according to Vrindava das Thakur, the goddess Sarasvati
entered the tongue of Kolaveca Sridhara such that he began to speak
more eloquently than anything he had ever known. His prayers are
elegant, poetic, and pregnant with meaning, revealing fathomless depths
of realization.
