Svarupa Damodara is after Lord Caitanya in our parampara

[Guest guest]

> Srila Krsnadasa Kaviraja Goswami was a diksa disciple of Srila Raghunatha

> dasa Goswami and a siksa disciple of Srila Rupa Goswami.

 

Well explained. Only thing that I was of the impression that Nityananda

Prabhu is the initiating spiritual master of Krsnadasa Kaviraja Goswami.

This is confirmed by the following verses:

 

Cc Adi 1.40

 

nityananda-raya--prabhura svarupa-prakasa

tanra pada-padma vando yanra muni dasa

 

Srila Nityananda Rama is the plenary manifestation of the Lord, and I HAVE

BEEN INITIATED BY HIM. I therefore offer my respectful obeisances unto His

lotus feet.

 

Cc Adi 1.44

 

yadyapi amara guru--caitanyera dasa

tathapi janiye ami tanhara prakasa

 

Although I know that my spiritual master is a servitor of Sri Caitanya, I

know Him also as a plenary manifestation of the Lord.

 

Srila BSST did not accept that Raghunatha Bhatta was the diksha guru of KKG

but did he specify that Raghunatha Dasa was?

 

If the conclusion is that KKG's diksha guru is none other than Lord

Nityananda who instructed him to go to Vrndaban in the first place. Then

Rupa & Raghunatha Dasa Goswamis become the most prominent siksha gurus in

his life.

 

Your servant,

Nayana-ranjana Dasa
