disappearence day of Shri Shyamananda Prabhu -12-6-06

[Guest guest]

Shri Shyamananda Prabhu was born in Utkala, in a place called Dharenda Bhadura

Pura. His father's name was Shri Krishna Mandal. His mother's name was Shri

Durika. Shri Krishna Mandal, who was in the dynasty of the Six Gopas, had sired

many sons and daughters who has passed away before this son took his birth.

Because of the great misfortune which had befallen his family, Shri Krishna

Mandal named the boy Dukhi. Everyone said that the boy would become a great

person, a Mahapurush. On an auspicious moment on the full moon day of the month

of Caitra, he appeared within this world by the mercy of Lord Jagannatha.

Because he had come to preach the glories of Jagannatha, the Lord Himself

protected him as he grew up. The boy was so beautiful he was like cupid

himself; all eye were fixed upon him.

 

Gradually it was time for the child's "grain-eating ceremony" (that time at

which a child is first offered solid food.), and soon after that he began going

to school. Seeing the amazing brain this child had, the scholars were

astonished. In a short time, the boy learned Sanskrit grammar, poetry, and

rhetoric. And soon after this he began seriously studying the scriptures. Upon

hearing the glories of Sri Caitanya and Nityananda from the mouths of the local

devotees, the boy developed a powerful desire to take shelter at his lotus

feet. His father, Shri Krishna Mandala, was a great devotee of Krishna. Seeing

his son always engrossed in thoughts of Gaura-Nityananda, he told him to take

mantra initiation.

 

The boy said, "Hriday Caitanya Prabhu is my guru, he lives in Ambika Kalna. His

guru is Gauridas Pandit. Those two great brothers, Shri Gaura and Nityananda

always reside in his home. If you give the order, I will go to him and become

his disciples.

 

Shri Krishna Mandal said, "My boy! That is a long way away! How will you get

there?" Dukhi said, "Father, many people from here will soon go to Gauda-desh

to bathe in Ganges. When they go, I will go with them.." For a long time, his

father thought this over, and finally gave his permisson. After receiving the

blessings of his father and mother he began his journey to Gaudadesh. Gradually

he cam e to Nabadwip and Shantipur, and finally arrived in Ambika Kalna. Upon

reaching Ambika Kalna, he began inquiring from the local people where the house

of Gauridas Pandit was. He paying his obesiances outside the temple of Sriman

Mahaprabhu at the house of Gauridas Pandit. There he found Hridaya Caitanya

Prabhu. Hridaya Caitanya, upon seeing the boy, said, "Who are you?" Dukhi said,

"I want to render service at your holy feet. I have come a long wayæfrom

Dharenda Vahadur Pura. I was born in the dynasty of the Six Gopas. My father's

name is Krishna Mandal. My name is Dukhi." Hridaya

Caitanya was pleased with the sweet words of this young boy. He said,"From now

on your name is Krishna das." From that day on, Shri Krishna das assiduously

served his guru. Shri Hridaya Chaitanya waited for an auspicious day and soon

initiated him in the mantram. Krishna das soon became fixed in his service.

Seeing Krishna das's determined service, his bhakti, and his deep intelligence

and understanding, Hridaya Caitanya ordered him to go to Vrindavan to seek out

Jiva Goswami. He ordered him to study the scriptures of the Goswamis and their

associates under the guidance of Jiva Goswami.

 

Shri Krishna das bowed his head and accepted his guru's order to leave for

Vrindavana, and on an auspicious day, he began his journey. At that time, Shri

Hridaya Chaitanya Prabhu gave many messages to Krishna dasa to carry to the

residents of Vrindavana. He requested him to communicate his dandavats and

respects to the lotus feet of the six Goswamis. Dukhi Krishna das first went to

Nabadwip Dhama. There he asked the local people where he could find the old

house of Jagannatha Mishra, and If he might be allowed to enter that house.

Arriving at the house of Sri Gauranga, he found Ishan Thakura and offered full

obeisances and respectful prayers to him. Ishan was very old. He asked Krishna

das, "Who are you?" Krishna das explained who he was. Hearing his story, Ishan

bestowed his blessings upon Krishna das. After spending a few days in Nabadwip,

Krishna das turned his sweet face towards Vrindavana and continued on his

journey.

 

On his way he came to Gayadham to take darshan of the lotus feet of the Vishu

deity there, where Shri Chaitanaya Mahaprabhu had taken initaition from Ishvara

Puri. Remembering how Ishvara Puri had given the mantra to the Lord, he became

overwhelmed by ecstasy. After this, he went to Benares, Kashidhama. There he

took darshan of the holy feet of Tapana Mishra, Chandrashekcara, and many other

devotees, offering prayers and obeisances to all of them. They all bestowed

innumberable blessings upon Krishna dasa, and he continued on his way to

Mathura. After a long time, he finally entered Mathura. There he bathed in

Vishrama-ghata, took darshan of the Adikeshava deity, and, upon visiting the

place where Shri Krishna appeared within this world became choked up with

prema. Thereafter he headed in the direction of Vrindavana.

 

After finding out the exact location of Shri Jiva Goswami's bhajan-kutir from

the local people, he sought out Jiva Goswami. Arriving at his bhajan-kutir, he

offered his dandavts and respects to Jiva Goswami. Jiva Goswami asked who he

was, and Krishna das told him everything. He explained how he was a disciple of

Hridaya Caitanya, and how Hridaya-Caitanya had sent him to Jiva Goswami for

instruction in the scriptures. Jiva Goswami had previously been told by Hridaya

Caitanya, "I have a disciple named Dukhi Krishna dasa. I am offering him to

you. Teach him well in Krishna consciousness. When his mind is fixed in Krishna

consciousness, after he had studied the scriptures carefully under guidance for

some time, you may send him back to me." Upon knowing that Dukhi Krishna das

had been sent by Hridaya Caitanya to work under his direction, Shri Jiva

Goswami was happy. Krishna das was under his protection. Shri Krishna das

carefully served Jiva Goswami and studied the scriptures

of the Goswamis very seriously. At that time Shrivivas Acharya and Narottama

das Thakura also came to study the Goswami scriptures under the authority of

Jiva Goswami. Krishna das would meet with them and study the scriptures

together with Srinivasa Acharya and Narottama das Thakur.

 

Krishna das prayed for service that would bring him closer to Jiva Goswami.

When Jiva Goswami saw this, he said with joy, "Every day you must draw some

water from the Kanana-Kunja." From that day on, Dukhi Krishna das with great

affection and eagerness would go to that Kunja to fill Jiva Goswami's waterpot.

The opportunity to serve Jiva Goswami in this way gave Krishna das's life new

meaning. By drawing water for Jiva Goswami every day Krishna das felt a

transformation within himself. He would became joyful, and his eyes would fill

with tears of ecstasy. Whenever he would hear the name of Radha and Govinda

loudly chanted in kirtan and whenever he would remember their divine pastimes,

he would become dumbstruck with wonder. From time to time he would notice a

girl who seemed to be a beautiful princess drawing water from the same Kunja

and carrying it on her head. Brahman and Siva would be enchanted by her beauty.

In this way, Dukhi Krishna das continued his service of

visiting the Kunja and drawing water for Jiva Goswami. His service certainly

pleased the prince and princess of Vraja, Sri Sri Radha and Krishna, so much so

that they wanted to reveal themselves to Krishna das. One day Krishna das was

performing his regular duty of filling the waterpot from the Kunja. He ws fully

absorbed in the samadhi of Krishna prema. At that time he saw in the water

beneath his pot a wonderfully shining bangle, an anklet. Upon seeing it he was

astonished by its beauty and overwhelmed by transcendental ectasy. He reached

his hand within the waters of the Kunja and pulled out this unusual bangle.

Touching it to his head, he felt a wave of transcendental ecstasy. Then,

finding a piece of cloth that appeared to be the border of a woman's scarf

attached to the bangle, he thought to seek out the owner of the bangle in order

to return it.

 

In that place, that very morning, seeing that the bangle from the left foot of

Shri Radha Thakurani was missing, her gopi friends were dumbstruck. Shri Radha

Thakurani said, "Last night while I was dancing with Krishna by the side of the

Kunja, the bangle must have fallen in the Kunja; go there, and after finding it

and bring it to me. Vishakha devi went to the banks of the Kunja and began

searching and searching for the bangle. As she was searching, she came upon

Dukhi Krishna das, who at that time was filling his water pot at the Kunja.

 

Vishakha devi asked him, "Have you found a bangle near here?" Dukhi Krishna

dasa seeing this beautiful girl who appeared to be a goddess from heaven was

dazzled by her brilliance. Hearing the ambrosial words from this immortal

goddess, he was struck dumb with the ecstasy of love of Godhead. Vishakha devi

again asked him, "Have you found a bangle near here?" Dukhi Krishna das humbly

offered his respectful obeisances, and meekly said, "Yes, I have it. Please

tell me, who are you?"

Vishakha said, "I am the daughter of a gopa."

"Where do you live?"

"I live in this village."

"Is the bangle yours?"

"No, it's not mine. At my house there a newly married girl..."

"How was it lost here"

"..Yesterday when she was picking flowers here at the Kunja, it somehow slipped

off her foot and she lost her bangle in the water. I have come here to find her

bangle. Wait here, and I will bring her to you."

 

A little while later, Shr Radha Thakurani came with Vishakhadevi and hid behind

a tree. Vishakha devi said, "O devotee! She has come for her bangle." From a

distance Dukhi Krishna das could see the brilliant effulgence of the daughter

of King Vrishabhanu, and felt as if his soul had been stolen from his body. In

great transcendental bliss he gave the bangle to Vishakha devi. At that time he

had some intuition that a great mystery was being revealed to him. With his

eyes filled with the tears of Krishna prema, he fell to the ground and offered

his prostrated obeisances in full submission. His voice was choked up in

ecstasy. At that timeVishkaha devi said, "O best of the devotees, my girlfriend

would very much like to show her gratitude by granting you a benediction. You

may ask for whatever you want." Dukhi Krishna das replied, "There is nothing

that I want; I only pray to take the dust of her lotus feet."

 

Vishakha devi replied, "Take bath in this Kunda." Dukhi Krishna das went to

bathe in the Kunda, he offered his obeisances, and then when he immersed

himself in the water he assumed the form of a beautiful girl. Returning to

Vishakhadevi, Dukhi Krishna das offered respects to her. Vishakhadevi took

brought this new gopi to Shri Radha Thakurani. The new gopi offered her

obeisances in the dust of the lotus feet of Shri Radha. The sakhis seated the

new gopi in the midst. At that time, Shri Radharani applied some kumkum to the

bangle and made a tilak mark on the head of the new gopi, saying "This tilak

must remain on your forehead. From this day on, your name will be Shyamananda.

Now go." At this, Radha Thakurani, along with all her gopi friends vanished.

Dukhi Krishna das's samadhi broke. In the water he could see in his reflection

the effulgent tilak mark the bangle had left on his forehead.

 

His heart was filled with wonder at the sight, and he thought to himself, "What

have I seen!" Saying this, he began to weep with joy. Thereafter, offering

hundreds and hundreds of prayers in the name of Shri Radha Thakurani, he

returned to the lotus feet of Shri Jiva Goswami. Seeing the new tilak mark that

shined so brilliantly on the forehead of Dukhi Krishna das, Jiva Goswami was

dumbstruck. He inquired as to its origin. Dukhi Krishna das bowed before his

master and with his eyes filled with tears, he related the entire story to Jiva

Gsowami. Hearing this, Jiva Goswami was supremely happy. He said, "Don't reveal

the story of this miracle to the people in general." From this day on your name

will be Shyamananda.

 

Noticing the change in Dukhi Krishn das's name and tilak, the Vaishnava

community began to talk about him. Gradually word reached Ambika Kalna in Gauda

desh. Hearing that his disciple had changed his name and tilak, Hridaya

Caitanya became angry. He quickly left for Vrindavana. When he arrived at the

place where Krishna das was staying, Krishna das fell before his gurudev's

lotus feet, offering his dandavats. Shri Hridaya Caitanya, seeing the new tilak

on his disciple's forehead, became very angry and said, "Your conduct is

abominable; you are disgracing me!" In this way he chastise Dukhi Krishna das

and struck him again and again as the Vaishnavas did their best to pacify

Hridaya Chaitanya Prabhu. Dukhi Krishna das bore all his guru's chastisement

with a cheerful face, for he knew that he had never left the service of his

guru maharaja.

 

That night, Shri Hridaya Chaitanya Prabhu had a dream in which he saw Shri

Radha Thakurani. Shrimati Radharani scolded Hridaya Chaitanya, saying: "Because

Shri Dukhi Krishna das has pleased me greatly I have given him this new name

and tilak. Why have you instructed him differently?" Hridaya Chaitanya fell at

the feet of the princess of Vraja praying for forgiveness, realizing that he

had commited a great offense.

 

The next morning Shri Hridaya Chaitanya called Shyamananda Prabhu to his side

and affectionately embraced him again and again. With tears of ecstasy in his

eyes he told his disciple: "You are most fortunate." A few days later Shri

Hridaya Chaitanya left Vrajadhama. A few days later, Jiva Goswami ordered

Shyamananda Prabhu to return to Gauda Desh.

 

Shyamanda Prabhu, Shrinivasa Acharya, and Narottama das Thakura in great

happiness had spent many days studying the Goswami scriptures under the

tutelage of Shri Jiva Goswami and moving through Vrindavana as humble beggars,

practicing madhukari. These three devotees practiced their madhukari and

performed their bhajan as one. In this way, they were very fixed and determined

in their devotional service.

 

In this way, having been invited to do so by the Goswamis the three of them

went to preach the message of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu especially as found in

scriptures of the Goswamis. One day, Jiva Goswami called the three of them

together and let them know how to fulfill the will of the Goswamis. The three

of them bowed their heads and receiving the orders of Jiva Goswami with great

respect. After this, on an auspicious day, after seeing Jiva Goswami and having

been entrusted by him with the scriptures of the Goswamis, the three of them

started for Gauda-desh.

 

On the way, the King of Vanavishnupura, Birhambir had their scriptures stolen

by some of his men. For the purpose of recovering the stolen scriptures,

Srinivas Acharaya stayed behind. Shri Narottam Thakura went on to Kheturigram

and Shyamananda Prabhu returned to Ambika Kalna. Upon arriving in Ambika Kalna,

Shyamananda Prabhu offered his respects at the lotus feet of Hridaya Chaitanya.

The two of them embraced each other with great joy and affection, and Hridaya

Chaitanya inquired after the welfare of the great devotees and goswamis in

Vrindavana. Upon hearing of the theft of the Goswamis scriptures, Hridaya

Chaitanya was deeply shocked and disappointed. Soon Shyamananda was once again

offering serving the lotus feet of his gurudeva Hridaya Chaitanya Prabhu. After

a few days, Shyamananda Prabhu became completely absorbed in guruseva and his

happiness grew day by day. Almost all of the personal associates of Shri

Caitanya in Utkala desh had by that time one by one

disappeared and entered into the unmanifest pastimes of the Lord. The

preaching of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's message had almost disappeared. Shri

Hridaya Chaitanya, upon hearing all this became especially concerned. At that

time he ordered Shri Shyamananda Prabhu to go to Utkala desh and preach the

message of the Goswamis and the teachings of Shri Chaitanya. As he was leaving

his gurudeva behind, Shyamananda felt great pain within his heart.

Understanding his heart, Hridaya Chaitanya called Shyamananda to him and made

him understand his concern. Having no other course open to him, Shyamananda

Prabhu left for Utkala taking his guru's orders on his head. On his way to

Utkala, he passed is old village of Dharenda Bahadurpur. Seeing their own dear

Dukhi returning home after having been gone for so long, the townspeople were

extremely happy. For a few days he stayed there and preached the holy gospel of

Shri Chaitanya. Many people heard him and were enchanted by him and took

shelter at his lotus feet.

 

Thereafter he came to a town called Dandeshwar. There Shri Krishna Mandala had

formerly lived. Shyamananda Prabhu blessed the town of Dandeshwar and the

devotees who lived there by his holy association, to the exteme happiness of

all of them. For many days he preached Harikatha and held a great festival

there. Many people, upon hearing the divine message of Shyamananda Prabhu, were

charmed by his saintliness and became his disciples. Finally, Shyamananda

Prabhu arrived in Utkala, sanctifying the earth there with his holy presence

and again he began preaching the message of Shri Chaitanya everywhere.

 

On the banks of the Suvarna-rekha river lived was a pious zamindar by the name

of Shri Achyutadeva. Rasikananda was the name of his only son. From the time he

was a little boy, he was a paragon of Krishna-bhakti. For the sake of his

education his father had engaged some learned scholars to teach him.

Rasikananda would study at the place of the Pandits. But he had no interest in

wordly knowledge. In everything he would study he would find Hari-bhakti to be

the ultimate conclusion, grew anxious to take shelter of the lotus feet of a

Vaishnava guru. One day he was sitting alone, thinking. At that time he heard a

divine voice say, "Rasikananda! Don't sit there brooding. Very soon a great

devotee, a mahabhagavat named Shyamananda Prabhu will arrive here; go to him

and take shelter of his lotus feet." Hearing that divine voice, he became

somewhat encouraged. From that time on, he became very eager to see Shyamananda

Prabhu and was always looking down the road for his arrival.

 

A few days later Shri Shyamananda Prabhu along with his disciples made his

auspicious arrival at the house of Rasikananda dev in the village called Rohini

on the banks of the Survarna-rekha. Shri Rasikananda dev's bliss knew no

bounds. He offered his full obeisances in a mood of great humility and took

Shri Shyamananda Prabhu within his house, where he offered him the traditonal

puja, and made all his friends, relatives, and children surrender at

Shyamananda's lotus feet. It was arranged that on an auspicious day,

Shyamananda Prabhu would initiate Rasikananda dev Prabhu into the Radha-Krishna

mantra. They began the chanting of Hare Krishna in sankirtan in the home of

deva with all the other devotees, inviting all the friends and relatives to

take part. Everyone in the village engaged in Sankirtan-yajna, and took darshan

of Shyamananda Prabhu. Amazed by his wonderful explanations of the message of

Gaura-Nityananda, they all took shelter of his lotus feet. In this way, the

town of Rohini had many disciples of Shri Shyamananda Prabhu.

 

In the town of Rohini was a big yogi named Damodara. One day he went to take

darshan of Shri Shyamananda Prabhu. From a long way off he say a divine

effulgence as bright as the sun emanated from Shyamananda Prabhu blinding his

vision. Thereafter, as he approached that great acarya, he fell at his lotus

feet and took shelter there, offering many prayers in submission. Returning the

respect shown to him by the yogi Shyamananda Prabhu with tears in his eyes,

said, "If your holiness wishes to develop divine purity, please just always

chant the holy names of Gaura and Nityananda. The Lord is supremely merciful.

If you only do this, He will bestow Krishna-prema upon you." Hearing what

Shyamananda Prabhu had said, Yogi Damodara's heart melted. He replied, "If you

will kindly give me your mercy, I shall worship the lotus feet of

Gaura-Nityananda from now on." Shyamananda Prabhu gave the yogi his blessings,

and bestowed his transcendental mercy upon him. Yogi Damodara became a great

devotee of Shri Shri Gaura Nitai. He used to constantly chant, the holy name

of Gaura and Nityanada with tears of joy pouring from his eyes.

 

In Balaram Pura lived many rich people. Hearing the glories of Shyamananda

Prabhu the people there became very anxious to see him. The pious, faithful,

and saintly people there began to pray with great earnestness for Shyamananda

Prabhu to come and visit Balaram Pura. Soon, Shyamananda Prabhu gave them his

mercy. He promised to respond to the invitation. Not long after this,

Shyamananda Prabhu arrived in Balarama Pura with adev and Yogi Damodara, as

well as many of his other disciples and devotees. The ecstasy of the saintly

persons in Balaram Pura was boundless. They offered puja to the lotus feet of

Shyamananda Prabhu, and conducted their bhajan in a very beautiful way,

observing all the proper rules and regulations of the shastras. A few days

later they held a big kirtan and Hari-katha festival in Balarama Pura. Many

people came and surrendered at the lotus feet of Shri Shyamananda Prabhu.

 

After this Shyamananda Prabhu went to Nirshinga Pura. In Nrishinga Pura there

was quite a large faction of atheists, agnostics, and blasphemers. After a few

days, Shyamananda Prabhu held a sankirtan festival. The agnostics and atheistic

Pandits went to see Shyamananda Prabhu and listened to his sweet and nectar an

explanations of Hari-katha. By hearing his words, their hearts were moved. They

accepted the shelter of Shyamananda Prabhu's lotus feet.

 

Day after day the news of Shyamananda's glories reached Utkala. From Nrishinga

Pura, Shyamananda Prabhu went to Shri Gopi Vallabha Pura. There many wealthy

people lived. After taking darshan of his lotus feet, they were astonished.

Almost all of them accepted shelter at the lotus feet of Shri Shyamananda

Prabhu. They prayed at his feet that he might install some deities, that they

may engage in deity worship. They begged him with great earnestness to do this.

Soon thereafter, the devotees had established a temple of the Lord with a

kirtan hall, a shelter for bhoga to be kept, and a special kitchen where the

Lord's meals could be prepared, as well as an ashram where the deities servants

could live, and a guest house for visiting Vaishnavas. Near the temple they

also constructed a small pond and beautiful gardens. Soon thereafter a great

festival was held, and at that time Shri Shyamananda Prabhu installed the

deities: Radha Govinda. When the installation ceremonies and

festival were concluded, Shyamananda Prabhu left for his hometown of Utkala.

Seeing the charming beauty of the Radha-Govinda deities, everyone felt peace in

their hearts. After Shyamananda Prabhu had left for Utkala, the residents of

Gopi Vallabha Pura entrusted the responsiblity of service to the Deities to

Rasikananda Prabhu.

 

Arriving in Utkala Pura, Shri Shyamananda Prabhu preached the message of Gaura

Nityananda, and finally, returning to Ambhika-Kalna, he payed his respects at

the lotus feet of Shri Hridaya Chaitanya. Having offered his respects and

prayers to Hridaya Chaitanya Prabhu, he told him all about his successful

preaching of the message of Gaura Nityananda throughout Utkala, Dandeshwar,

Rohini, Balaram Pura, Nrishinga Pura, andGopi Vallabha Pura. Hearing of the

victories of his discipline, Shri Hridaya Chaitanya affectioantely embraced

Shyamananda Prabhu.

 

After some time Shri Shyamananda Prabhu was invited to the famous festival in

Kheturigram, the birthplace of Narottam das Thakura. After getting this

invitation, Shyamananda Prabhu, along with his disciples, set off in the

direction of Kheturigram. After arriving in Kheturigram, he found his old

lifelong friends, Narottam Thakura and Shrinivas Acharya. Hearily embracing one

another they floated in the waves of happiness. At that festival, Jahnava Mata,

Shri Raghunandan Thakaura, Shri Achyutananda, and Shri Vrindavana das Thakura,

other eternal associates of Shri Gaurachandra, as well as many great souls and

important devotees graced everyone there by their auspicious presence. When the

festival had come to an end, Shri Shyamananda Prabhu bade farewell to all the

assembled devotees and again turned his face in the direction of Utkala in

order to make his return jouney.

 

On his way back to Gauda Desh, he stopped off in the town of Kanthak Nagara at

the house of Gadadhara das Thakur, in Yajigrama at the house of Shrinivas

Acharaya, and in Shri Khanda at the house of Raghunandana Thakura. After this

time, many of the eternal associates of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu passed away

from this earth and entered into the eternal unmanifest pastimes of the Lord.

After some time, Shyamananda reached Utkala. Moving from one devotee's house to

the next, he went from one town to the next, and graced many devotees with his

blessings. Soon he arrived in Shri Gopi Vallabha Pura. At this time he heard

news of the passing away of his guru, Shri Hridaya Chaitanya. Hearing this

tragic news. Shri Shyamananda Prabhu fainted. After regaining consciousness he

wept and wept for a long time. He fell into a state of complete anxiety,

disappointedment and bewilderment. That night, however, he had a dream of

Hridaya Chaitanya, and was encouraged by him to preach. From

Utkala desh, the glories of Shyamananda Prabhu were preached to the four

directions. As a result of his influence the constant worship and service of

Gaura and Nityananda was established far and wide. Rasikananda, Shri Murari,

Radhananda, Prurshottama, Manohara, Cintamani, Balahadra, Shri Jagadishvara,

Gadadhara, Anandananda and Shri Radha Mohan and others were the dearest

confidential disciples of Shyamananda Prabhu.

 

Shrila Shymananda Prabhu, having been successful in his many preaching

campaigns returned to Gopi Vallabha Pura, and there, after some days a big

festival took place. After that, in themonth of Asarh, on the day of

Krishnapratipada the great acharya, Shyamananda Prabhu entered into the eternal

lila of the Lord. His samadhi may be found in Gopi Vallabha Pura, where the

service of his deity goes on to this day.

 

All Glory to Syamananda prabhu
