Today is a very auspicious day as it is Dvadashi tithi and the disappearance days of three Gosvamis. Thus, today is a very super-excellent, auspicious day. I want to speak about their life histories and contributions, especially that of Srila Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, who was very nearest and dearest of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. When Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu travelled in East Bengal, He arrived at Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami’s father, Tapana Mishra’s house. His family were a

For this reason I have to speak something about Gadadhara Pandita and his life history and contributions. In Chaitanya-charitamrita, Sri Krishnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami very nicely glorified Gadadhara Pandita. Krishnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami mentions that there are two Gadadharas, one is Gadadhara Pandita and the other is Gadadhara dasa. Sr

We are here in Navadvipa-dhama because of ahaituki-kripa , that is the unlimited and causeless mercy of Guru, Vaishnavas & Nityananda Prabhu. For some days we have been doing parikrama , the same as when Nityananda Prabhu had taken Srila Jiva Gosvamipada and performed Navadvipa parikrama .
