Shri Purushottama Dasa constantly meditated on and served the lotus feet of Lord Nityananda. Kanu Thakura, his son, was such an exalted Devotee that Lord Krishna always lived in his body. When Kanu was five Ma Jahnava took him to Vrindavana. The Goswamis joyously greeted him upon seeing his genuine devotion.

Mahaprabhu gave Pradyumna Brahmachari the epithet Nrisinghananda because of his absorption in the service of Nrisingha. He is considered to be one of Chaitanya’s own branches.

Prabodhananda Saraswati serves Shri Radha in Goloka Vrindavana as Tungavidya-gopi, one of Her asta-sakhis.

Narayana Bhatta Goswami was a disciple of Shri Krishna Dasa Brahmachari, coming in the line of Gadadhara Pandit Goswami. Narayana Bhatta was completely attached to Vraja bhumi. He saw no difference between the transcendental name, form, pastimes, and dhama of Vrindavana. He always relished the pastimes of Radha-Gopinatha in the association of rasika Vaishnavas.
Before meeting Mahaprabhu Narahari had written many Sanskrit and Bengali songs about the vraja rasa of Radha-Giridhari. Later, he and Gadadhara Pandit always stayed with Lord Chaitanya.

Shri Nandana Acharya came from a family of Shakadvipi Brahmins descended from Shanti Muni, the son of Parashara. He belonged to the Bharata branch of the Vatsya gotra from Rarha.

Shri Murari Gupta, a disciple of Shri Chandrashekhara Acharya, possessed extraordinary humility. He had an intimate lifelong relationship with Lord Chaitanya.

They stirred up so much mud that ladies couldn’t fill their pots and brahmanas couldn’t bathe properly.
