Caitanya Mahaprabhu said, "I was dreaming of Krsna, and why you wake Me? I have lost the chance." In this way they were making bhajana. This is called viraha–bhajana, viraha–bhajana, separation. That is very recommended process. So we should be awakened, awaken our consciousness, Krsna consciousness, in such a way that being separated from Krsna, we shall become mad after Him. This is called krsna–prema. That prema was being distributed by Caitanya Mahaprabhu. And He is still distributing.
