Cleanse the heart of all contaminations

for Krishna to come and sit within

Those who are engaged as acharyas must learn from Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu how to train devotees by personal example. The Lord was very pleased with those who could clean the temple of the Lord by taking out undesirable things accumulated within. This is called anartha-nivrtti, cleansing the heart of all unwanted things.

Thus the cleansing of the Gundicha-mandira was conducted by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to let us know how the heart should be cleansed and soothed to receive Lord Sri Krishna and enable Him to sit within the heart without disturbance.
