Gangamata Goswamini

Gangamata Goswamini.

From her childhood Princess Sachi devi, the daughter of King Naresh Narayana of Bengal, showed unalloyed devotion to Lord Sri Krishna. She even refused to marry on account of her genuine attachment to Krishna. After her father's demise she ruled the kingdom. But she soon renounced it to find a bona fide spiritual master. Princess Sachi devi met Shri Haridasa Pandit, a leading guru in Vrindavana, and began performing devout bhajana to Govindaji. Although she became frail from undereating, she would always sleep on the Yamuna's sandy bank, and rise before sunrise to clean Govindaji's Temple. Daily she would hear Bhagavata-katha, see Govindaji's arotika, circumambulate Radha-Shyamasundara's lila sthanas (pastime places) such as Vamishivata, Seva Kunja, Nidhu vana, Rasa Sthali.Receiving encouragement from Shri Haridasa Pandit, Sachi devi completely dropped her false ego, put on rags, and went house-to-house in Vraja begging alms. The Vrajavasis were astonished by her severe renunciation. Taking her guru's suggestion, she went to Radha-Kunda to associate with Shri Lakshmipriya devi dasi, a dear disciple of Shri Haridasa.

Following Thakura Haridasa's perfect example, Lakshmipriya devi daily chanted 3,00,000 names (192 rounds) of Krishna. Everyday the two ladies would circumambulate Govardhana Hill and worship Krishna.

On her guru's order, Sachi devi went to the home of Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya in Jagannatha Puri. Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya and most of Lord Gauranga-sundara's eternal associates had already returned to Goloka Vrindavana. Sachi devi restored Sarvabhauma's house, and established first-class worship of Shri Shyama Raya, a Deity given to her by a Jaipur brahmana. Everyday she lectured on Shrimad Bhagavatam. Her classes became popular attracting eager listeners from miles around. Many people, including brahmanas and King Mukunda Deva, took initiation from Sachi devi.

In Sri Navadwipa Dhama Parikrama, Sripad B.V. Narayana Maharaja explains how Sachi devi got the name "Gangamata."

"On the day of Ganga Sagara Mela, Sachi devi, who was residing in Jagannatha Puri, desired to bathe in the Ganges. That night the Ganges flowed from the lotus feet of Lord Jagannatha and came to Sachi's ashrama. Entering Ganga Devi's waters, Sachi floated to the lotus feet of Jagannatha Swami inside the Temple. After unlocking the doors the next morning the pujaris were surprised to find her inside the Temple. Thinking she was a thief, they immeditately put Sachi devi in jail. Seeing this mistake, Lord Jagannatha appeared simultaneously in a dream to both the Puri King and the head pujari. The Lord ordered them to release Sachi devi dasi and take initiation from her. From then on she became famous as Gangamata Gosvamini:"

Ganga Narayana Cakravarti

Srila Narottama Dasa.

When Shri Ganga Narayana Chakravarti, a renowned brahmana, took initiation from Shri Narottama Dasa Thakura the smarta brahmanas became outraged. They complained to King Narasimha that the "audacious sudra," Narottama Dasa, had brazenly initiated a brahmana into the fold of Gaudiya Vaishnavism. The king, the smartas, and the dig vijaya pandit (world class scholar) went to challenge and conquer the "upstart" Narottama Dasa.

Krishna's Devotees peacefully tolerate all insults and abuses to themselves. But they strike like fire against offenders to their beloved guru or worshipable Lord Krishna.

Ganga Narayana Chakravarti and Ramachandra Kaviraja felt disturbed upon hearing of the imminent attack against their gurudeva.

Disguising themselves as a potter and a pan walla (betel nut vendor), they opened shops in a neighboring village. Upon arriving there, the smartas sent their students to buy pan and clay pots for cooking. Both the potter (Ramachandra Kaviraja) and the pan walla (Ganga Narayana) spoke pure Sanskrit with the students. Soon an argument stirred the ethers. The smartas, King Narasimha and Shri Rupa Narayana (the dig vijaya pandit) joined the furious debate. The two "wallas" quickly silenced the opposition. When he understood they were Narottama Dasa's disciples, the King told the smarta pandits, "If you can't even defeat these two common ordinary disciples of Narottama Dasa Thakura, how will you even defeat Narottama Dasa himself?"

Humiliated, the pandits headed home. That night in a dream Durga Devi told King Narasimha and the Dig Vijaya pandit, "Take initiation from Narottama Dasa Thakura, or else I'll cut off your heads." The next day they surrendered and received Radha-Krishna mantra diksha from Narottama Dasa Thakura.

Gadadhara Pandit

Sri Gadadhara Pandit. He was a member of the Panca Tattva and is described as the effulgence of Srimate Radharani.

Sri Gaurahari had so much affection for Sri Gadadhara Pandit that He couldn't be without him for a moment. He appeared a year after Lord Caitanya. Gadai and Nimai were inseparable as childhood playmates. Peaceful, renounced, serious, self-composed, fond of solitude Gadadhara proved quite a contrast to his bosom friend Gaura Raya, who was fickle, unsteady, and whimsical. In Ganga Dasa Pandit's tol (school) Nimai Pandit regularly teased Gadadhara by challenging him with illogical questions.

Sri Kavi Karnapura states that in Vraja lila Gadadhara Pandit is the daughter of King Vrsabhanu–Srimati Radharani. Gadadhara Pandit served as Lord Gaura's chief assistant during His Navadvipa-lila. Sri-Sri Radha Krishna in Vrindavana appear as Gaura-Gadadhara to perform pastimes in Navadvipa in the forest groves beside the Ganges.

Gadadhara Pandit"No one call describe the characteristics and ecstatic love of Gadadhara Pandit. Therefore another name for Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is Gadadhara Prananatha, "the life and soul of Gadahara Pandit." (Caitanya-caritamrta).

One day while wandering along the bank of the Ganges, Gaurasundara entered a forest grove and sat in a meditative mood. Soon he became enraptured remembering His Vrindavana pastimes. To enhance the Lord's mood, Mukunda Datta began singing Sweet songs inpurva raga. Sri

Gadadhara made a garland of fragrant forest flowers and lovingly placed it around the Lord's beautiful neck. As Sri Radha used to dress Damodara in Vrindavana, similarly, Gadadhara would adorn the radiant form of Lord Gauranga. He would also decorate Lord Caitanya's bed and bedroom with sweet smelling flowers. Everyday he would make sandalwood paste to rub on Sri Caitanya's transcendental body.

Lord Chaitania is sitting, on His left is Gadadhara Pandit in red Vaishnava cloth during Nadia Lila.

Gaura-Gadadhara sat on the root of a tree, serving as a raised dais. Sri Nityananda Prabhu sat on Lord Caitanya's right, Srivasa Pandit decorated them with flowers. Sri Advaita Acarya offered arotika. Narahari waved a camara. Suklambhara offered candana and Murari Gupta sang the Lord's glories. Vijay, Mukunda, Purusottama, Madhava and Vasudeva Ghosh sang a variety of songs in different ragas. In this way, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu performed His Nadia lila.

Gadadhara Pandit also took the renounced order of life and went to Jagannatha Puri to be with Lord Caitanya. Accepting ksetra sannyasa (a renunciate who never leaves the dhama), he served the Deity of Tota-Gopinatha with full love and devotion. Regularly, Sri Krishna Caitanya carne to relish Sri Gadadhara's rasika reading of Srimad Bhagavatam. Lord Caitanya concluded His manifest pastimes by entering the Deity of Tota-Gopinatha.

Tota Gopinath Deity which was worshipped by Gadadhara Pandit;

Although Gadadhara Pandit was barely forty-eight when the Lord departed, he quickly became old because of the intense anguish he felt in separation from his beloved Lord Gaurasundara. He couldn't stretch his arms to offer a garland to his Deity. Understanding His servant's difficulty, Sri Tota-Gopinatha sat down to facilitate Gadadhara's loving service. To this day, Sri Tota-Gopinatha is the only sitting Deity of Krishna.

This is the Deity he wore around his neck. The deity is called, Sri Meyo Krishna.There is Krishna ... and Lalita and Visakha;

According to some authorities, a short time after Lord Caitanya's disappearance Sri Gadadhara Pandit joined His eternal pastimes by entering his beloved Deity of Tota-Gopinatha. His danta (tooth) samadhi stands near the Vamsi Gopala temple in Vrindavana.

Gadadhara Dasa Goswami

...Krishna Dasa Kaviraja describe Lord Chaitanya as radha-bahva-dyuti suvalita, "characterized by the emotions and bodily luster of Shrimati Radharani." Gadadhara Dasa is this dyuti, luster. Gadadhara Dasa is sometimes called "the personification of Sri Radhika's divine effulgence." (In the image: Shrimati Radharani).

Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu has basically two groups of associated. One group such as the dvadasa gopalas (Abhirama Gopalas, Gauridasa Pandit, Dhananjaya and others) serve Sri Nityananda Prabhu in the mood of sakhya rasa (Friendship). The second group always stay merged in the mellow of madhurya rasa (conjugal love).

Sri Gadadhara Goswami is a united form of Chandrakanti gopi (an expansion of Radharani's effulgence) and Purnanada (an expansion of Lord Balarama's dear girlfriend). Thus, Gadadhara Dasa was an associate of both Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Nityananda Prabhu. Krishna Dasa Kaviraja describe Lord Chaitanya as radha-bahva-dyuti suvalita, "characterized by the emotions and bodily luster of Shrimati Radharani." Gadadhara Dasa is this dyuti, luster. Gadadhara Dasa is sometimes called "the personification of Sri Radhika's divine effulgence."

While traveling with Lord Nityananda Gadadhara would sometimes become absorbed in madhurya prema and begin acting and speaking like a Vraja gopi. Putting a clay pot of Ganges water on his head, as if he were a gopi, he would call out, "Who wants to buy milk? Who wants to buy yogurt?"

As one of Lord Nityananda's chief preachers in Bengal Gadadhara Dasa delivered countless sinner, and yavanas once while tasting Krishna prema he began dancing madly and chanting Krishna's Holy Names outside the Kazi's mansion. The irate Muslim magistrate stormed out of his house to chastize him for "disturbing the peace." But beholding the dazzingly attractive form of Gadadhara Dasa, the Kazi became stunned and dropped his anger.

Gadadhara affectionately embraced the Kazi and said, "Gaura-Nityananda have appeared to deliver everyone with divine love by distributing the sweet nectar of the Holy Name of Hari. Why don't you chant this sweet name of Hari?"

"Tomorrow I shall chant the name of Hari," replied the Kazi. Hearing the Kazi inadvertanly chant the Holy Name filled Gadadhara with happiness. He said, "Why tomorrow? You have already chanted today. And this powerful name of Hari will destroy your sins and purify your existence." From that day on the Kazi took shelter of Sri Gadadhara Dasa Goswami. His samadhi is in the 64 Samadhis Area.

"Gaura-Nityananda have appeared to deliver everyone with divine love by distributing the sweet nectar of the Holy Name of Hari. Why don't you chant this sweet name of Hari?" (In the image: Sri Sri Nitai Gaurachandra, ISKCON Chowpatty, Mumbai).

Dhananjaya Pandit

Sri Chaitanya Bhagavata describe Dhananjaya Pandit as vilaksana mahanta, "having all the characteristics of a great personality." He took part in Lord Gaurachandra's Navadwipa kirtana pastimes before moving to Vrindavana on Mahaprabhu's order.

Carrying only a kamandalu–but remaining absorbed in love of Sri Krishna and Sri Chaitanya–he traveled widely and preached. He established Deities of Gaura-Nitai, Sri Gopinatha, and Damodara. In Vraja lila he is Vasudama, one of Lord Balarama's dvadasa gopalas. His samadhi is in the 64 Samadhis Area.

Chandrashekhara Acharya

Shri Chandrashekhara Acharya (Acharyaratna) lived in Navadwipa near the house of Sri Nimai Pandit, his nephew. Since Chandrashekhara had no children, he accepted Nimai Pandit as his own and often entertained the Lord within his home. After the disappearance of Sri Jagannatha Mishra, Acharyaratna served as Gauranga's guardian and father Sri Gaurasundara would regularly hold kirtans and once enacted a play in Chandrashekhara's house. Dressed as Sri Laksmi Devi, Lord Chaitanya played the part so expertly that even Mother Sachi couldn't recognize Him.

Overcome with intense pangs of separation, Chandrashekhara fell down on the ground when he heard Lord Gauranga's plan to take sannyasa. "Are You going to plunge Nadia into darkness by going away?" he asked the Lord.

Overcome with intense pangs of separation, Chandrashekhara fell down on the ground when he heard Lord Gauranga's plan to take sannyasa. "Are You going to plunge Nadia into darkness by going away?" he asked the Lord. (In the image: Lord Chaitanya is going to take sannyasa because of that Devotees are in great pain).

With tears spilling out of His lotus eyes Lord Gauranga embraced him and replied, "Acharyaratna, although I may accept sannyasa, I will forever remain bound within the Temple of your heart. Please be patient, for you must assist in My sannyasa ceremony."

Sri Chandrashekhara was one of the main branches of Sri Chaitanya's sankirtana movement. From the beginning of Sri Chaitanya's Navadwipa lila he and his innumerable disciples faithfully served the Lord. In Sridhama Mayapur, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura established the headquarters of Sri Chaitanya Matha at the site of Chandrasekhara Acharya's original home. His samadhi is behind the Madana Mohana Temple and next to Sanatana Gosvami's samadhi. He is Subhadra or Candra-deva (moon god) in Krishna's divine pastimes.

This is the original place where Chandrashekhar Acharya's house is, Mayapur.

Biracandra Prabhu

"Biracandra Prabhu was an incarnation of Kshirodakashayi Vishnu. He is non-different from Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, in that he is Vishnu-tattva, God Himself," said Kavi Karnapura.

Sri Biracandra Prabhu (Biracandra Goswami) was the son of Lord Nityananda's second wife Vasudha Devi, and the disciple of Sri Jahnava Devi. "He was an incarnation of Kshirodakashayi Vishnu. He is non-different from Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, in that he is Vishnu-tattva, God Himself," said Kavi Karnapura.

"After Sri Nityananda Prabhu, who is the topmost branch of Lord Chaitanya's indestructible tree of eternal love of Godhead, the greatest branch is Birachandra Prabhu. Although he was the Supreme Personality of Godhead, he presented Himself as a great Devotee. And although the Supreme Godhead is transcendental to all Vedic injunctions, he strictly followed the Vedic rituals. He is the main pillar in the hall of devotional service erected by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. It is by the glorious mercy of Sri Birachandra that people all over the world can chant the names of Chaitanya and Nityananda. I therefore take shelter of the lotus feet of Sri Birachandra Prabhu." (Sri Chaitanya-charitamrta)

"When Birachandra Prabhu visited Vrindavana, everyone came out to see him. They were delighted to have his darshana. Everyone was overwhelmed by seeing the ecstatic devotion exhibited by Birachandra Prabhu. He took darshana of Madana Mohana, Radha-Govinda, Radha-Gopinatha. On the order of Sri Jahnava Devi he toured Vraja Mandala. During his extensive pilgrimage he showed many amazing and wonderful manifestations of divine love." (Bhakti-ratnakar) His pushpa samadhi is in the 64 Samadhis Area.

Paramananda Sen

Shivananda Sen was a favorite disciple of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. He had three sons, namely Shri Chaitanya dasa, Shri Ramadasa and Shri Paramananda (Kavi Karnapura). Shrinath Pandita, a disciple of Advaita Acharya, was the spiritual master of Kavi Karnapura. Paramananda lived in Kanchrapara, about half a mile from Kumarahatta. Shri Krishnaraya, the Deity installed and worshiped by Shrinath Pandita, still exists there. In the beginning of the book Shri Ananda-Vrindavana Champu, Shri Kavi Karnapura Goswami glorified Shrinath Pandita.

Kavi Karnapura himself has identified his father in GGD, "The gopika named Vira in Krishna lila, has now become my father named Shivananda Sen." Shri Shivananda Sen lived in Kumarahat (Halisahara). His Deity is still being served in Kancrapada, about one and a half miles from Halisahara.

...One day Shivananda Sen and his three sons fell prostrate before the Lord and Mahaprabhu wanted to know the name of his younger son. When He heard that his name was Paramananda dasa, He smiled and said, "His name is Puri dasa." The mother then placed her son in front of the Lord's feet. Seeing the pinkish lotus feet of Prabhu, the child wanted to suck His toe. Mahaprabhu then placed His toe in the child's mouth and the child happily sucked it. Seeing the Lord's boundless mercy upon Shivananda's son the Devotees began chanting the Holy Names joyfully. Mahaprabhu then ordered that as long as Shivananda and his family remained in Nilachala they should receive Mahaprabhu's remnants. After the Rathayatra festival, Shivananda Sen took permission from the Lord to return home. (CC. 3.16.75) (In the image: Lotus Feet of Shri Gaura Chandra, ISKCON Chowpatty, Mumbai).

Before Paramananda's birth, Shivananda and his wife went to see the Lord in Puri. Mahaprabhu blessed them and told them that their son would be named Puridasa. In the year 1524 AD a nice son was born to them and the name Paramananda was given to him. A few months later, Shivananda Sen along with his wife and children started for Puri and reached there after walking for one month. Upon seeing the lotus face of Mahaprabhu all the exhaustion and fatigue of the long journey was immediately mitigated. The Lord made arrangements to house and feed the Devotees. One day Shivananda Sen and his three sons fell prostrate before the Lord and Mahaprabhu wanted to know the name of his younger son. When He heard that his name was Paramananda dasa, He smiled and said, "His name is Puri dasa." The mother then placed her son in front of the Lord's feet. Seeing the pinkish lotus feet of Prabhu, the child wanted to suck His toe. Mahaprabhu then placed His toe in the child's mouth and the child happily sucked it. Seeing the Lord's boundless mercy upon Shivananda's son the Devotees began chanting the Holy Names joyfully. Mahaprabhu then ordered that as long as Shivananda and his family remained in Nilachala they should receive Mahaprabhu's remnants. After the Rathayatra festival, Shivananda Sen took permission from the Lord to return home. (CC. 3.16.75)

"All glories to Shri Hari, whose beautiful blue lotus-like eyes are anointed with balm...(CC.3.16.74-76). (In the image: Shri Gopinath, ISKCON Chowpatty, Mumbai).

The next year Shivananda Sen went back to Puri along with the Gaudiya Devotees and his youngest son, Puri dasa. Again, Mahaprabhu arranged for their stay. Puri dasa touched the feet of the Lord respectfully and Mahaprabhu placed his palm on the boy's head and asked him to chant the name of Krishna. But the boy did not comply with the request. Again Shivananda Sen asked the boy the same thing, but still he did not utter the name of Krishna. Then Mahaprabhu said, "I have made innumerable animate and inanimate objects in the world chant the name of Krishna but I have failed this time." Svarupa Damodara then said, "I can understand that he will not disclose the mantra of Lord Krishna which he received from You to anyone and he is chanting the mantra within his mind." When Shivananda Sen returned to his room with the boy, everyone asked the boy why he did not utter the name of Lord Krishna, but Puri dasa did not answer them.

Another day Shivananda brought Puri dasa to see Mahaprabhu and the boy worshipped the Lord's lotus feet. Then Prabhu asked him to read any subject. Puri dasa began speaking, "All glories to Shri Hari, whose beautiful blue lotus-like eyes are anointed with balm…(CC.3.16.74-76). All the Devotees were astonished to hear the descriptive sloka from the young boy, and concluded that he must have received the special mercy of Gaurasundara. Hearing the sloka, Mahaprabhu was overwhelmed with ecstasy and blessed the boy, "May you always lovingly remember the pastimes of Lord Krishna." Shri Svarupa Damodara said, "Since this sloka has satiated the ears of the Devotees, let this boy's name be Karnapura (karna-means ears, and pura means satiation). Thus Puri later became famous as Shri Kavi Karnapura.

Every year Shivananda Sen paid all the expenses for the journey on foot to Nilachala of nearly two hundred Devotees. Whatever wealth and resources he possessed were offered to Mahaprabhu. Sometimes Shri Nityananda Prabhu stayed at the house of Shivananda, and whenever Mahaprabhu went to Gauda, He always came to his house.

The books written by Kavi Karnapura Goswami are: Shri Chaitanya Chandradaya Nataka, Shri Ananda Vrindavana Champu, Shri Chaitanya Charitamrita Mahakavya, Shri Gauraganoddesa Dipika, Shri Radha Krishna Ganoddesa Dipika, Shri Krishnahnika Kaumudi, Alankara Kaustuva and Arya Sataka.

Bilvamangala Thakura

Bilvamangala Thakura is sining a bhajan and Krishna is listening.

Although born in a South Indian brahmana family, Sri Bilvamangala Thakura fell down with a prostitute named Cintamani, who ultimately satisfied his deepest desire. He became attached and rabid with lust. Even immediately after performing the sraddha rituals for his deceased father he ran to enjoy her. A raging storm and tossing waves could not deter him. In lustful delusion, he held a corpse to cross a turbulent river. Finding the gate locked, he scaled the wall by grabbing a cobra, which he foolishly saw as a rope.

Seeing Bilvamangala soaking wet, burning with desire, totally exhausted, Chintamani advised him, "You're so much attached to this lowly bag of flesh and bones. Better you become attached to serving the blissful Lord Govinda. Go to Vrindavana and there you will find complete satisfaction and eternal happiness."

On the way to Vrindavana Bilvamangala's material desires seized him. He lusted after a brahmana's wife. Ashamed of his polluted desires, he gouged out his eyes with the lady's hairpin. Blind Bilvamangala was determined not to be distracted from the spiritual path by any material object.

...Krishna-karnamrta, his most famous work, was one of the first authentic books to reveal the supreme position of Srimati Radharani in Sri Krishna's Vrindavana madhurya lila.

Receiving diksha from Somagiri, he got the name Lilasuka for his expertise in describing the madhurya lila of Radha and Krishna. He felt so much ecstasy from singing about Govinda's pastimes and playing his vina that millions of sense objects became insignificant.

In Vrindavana, Sri Krishna would personally give Bilvamangala Prasadam and lead him to a safe resting place. At first Lilasuka didn't know the identity of this sweet Vrajavasi boy. Then one day Bihari Lal played his captivating flute for the blind man. Suddenly, Bilvamangala became mad with desire to behold the beautiful sweet form of Syamasundara. Realizing that this "Vrajavasi boy" was actually the Lord of his life and the love of his heart, he reached out to touch Krishna. Playful Gopala touched Bilvamangala's hand, laughed lovingly, and ran away. Singing, Bilvamangala said, "You can run away from my hand, but You can never leave my heart."

Lilasuka wrote many verses and songs full of Krishna prema. Krishna-karnamrta, his most famous work, was one of the first authentic books to reveal the supreme position of Srimati Radharani in Sri Krishna's Vrindavana madhurya lila. The later writings of the six Gosvamis, Ramananda Raya, Prabodhananda Sarasvati, Krishna Dasa Kaviraja, Vishvanatha Chakravarti, and Bhaktivinoda Thakura expanded this idea. They developed the concept of exclusively serving and worshiping Srimati Radharani–the Queen of Vrindavana and the supreme controller of even Krishna Himself.

Srila Thakura Bhaktivinoda writes in Saranagati: "By serving the lotus feet of Sri Radha, the daughter of Vrishabhanu, I will become a maidservant of one of the gopis in Vraja. I will always try to bring happiness to Sri Radha. Within my heart, I know that Radha's pleasure is Krishna's source of joy. Therefore, I never desire to abandon Radha's lotus feet for Krishna's solitary company. The sakhis are, my best friends and teachers about the love uniting Radha and Krishna. As one of their maidservants, I will serve Radha's lotus feet, which fulfill all desires. I myself am partial. I always support Radhika. There may be some who live apart from Her. Let them live as they prefer But I will always remain fixed at the lotus feet of Srimati Radharani."

Krishna-karnamrta is an extremely exalted scripture meant for the most advanced Devotees. But the most merciful Krishna Dasa Kaviraja wrote Sarangarangada. This commentary helps Devotees savor the sublime nectar of Krishna-karnamrta. Simply by reading it one will become attracted to Radha-Govinda's Vraja lila. His samadhi is in Gopinatha Bazaar.

...Chintamani advised him, "You're so much attached to this lowly bag of flesh and bones. Better you become attached to serving the blissful Lord Govinda. Go to Vrindavana and there you will find complete satisfaction and eternal happiness."

Bhugarbha Goswami – Biography

A disciple of Sri Gadadhara Pandit, Sri Bhugarbha Goswami shared an intimate friendship with Sri Lokanatha Goswami. Inspired by Lord Chaitanya, they were the first and most senior Devotees to settle in Vrindavana. Before the arrival of Sri Rupa and Sri Sanatana Goswamis they tried to uncover the lost holy places of Radha-Govindaji.

Unlike the aggressive approach of modern scientists to discover the unknown, Bhugarbha and Lokanatha Goswamis found Sri Krishna's pastime forests by the humble method of surrender. They simply wandered around Vrindavana calling out the names of her twelve forests, "Bhandiravan, Kamyavan, Mahavan, Talavan … " And Srimati Vrinda Devi (the maintainer of the forests and an expansion of Krishna's pastime potency) revealed the exact location of each and every forest.

It is told that to avoid material distractions Bhugarbha would perform his bhajana underground. So, he received the name Bhugarbha (bhu means earth, garbha means cave, womb, hidden place). He is Prema-manjari or Bhadra Rekhika in Radha Gopinatha's nitya-nikunja lila. His samadhi stands near Sri Rupa Goswami's in the Radha Damodara Temple courtyard.
