\n Sri Gadadhara Goswami is a united form of Chandrakanti gopi (an expansion of
\n Radharani\u2019s effulgence) and Purnanada (an expansion of Lord Balarama\u2019s dear
\n girlfriend). Thus, Gadadhara Dasa was an associate of both Sri Chaitanya
\n Mahaprabhu and Sri Nityananda Prabhu.\n<\/p>\n

\n Krishna Dasa Kaviraja describe Lord Chaitanya as radha-bahva-dyuti suvalita,
\n \u201ccharacterized by the emotions and bodily luster of Shrimati Radharani.\u201d
\n Gadadhara Dasa is this dyuti, luster. Gadadhara Dasa is sometimes called \u201cthe
\n personification of Sri Radhika\u2019s divine effulgence.\u201d \n<\/p>\n

\n While traveling with Lord Nityananda, Gadadhara would sometimes become
\n absorbed in madhurya prema and begin acting  and speaking like a Vraja
\n gopi. Putting a clay pot of Ganges water on his head, as if he were a gopi, he
\n would call out, \u201cWho wants to buy milk? Who wants to buy yogurt?\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n As one of Lord Nityananda\u2019s chief preachers in Bengal Gadadhara Dasa delivered
\n countless sinners and yavanas. Once, while tasting Krishna prema he began
\n dancing madly and chanting Krishna\u2019s Holy Names outside the Kazi\u2019s mansion.\n<\/p>\n

\n The irate Muslim magistrate stormed out of his house to chastize him for
\n \u201cdisturbing the peace.\u201d But beholding the dazzlingly attractive form of
\n Gadadhara Dasa, the Kazi became stunned and dropped his anger. \n<\/p>\n

\n Gadadhara affectionately embraced the Kazi and said, \u201cGaura-Nityananda have
\n appeared to deliver everyone with divine love by distributing the sweet nectar
\n of the Holy Name of Hari. Why don\u2019t you chant this sweet name of Hari?\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n    \u201cTomorrow I shall chant the name of Hari,\u201d replied the Kazi.
\n Hearing the Kazi inadvertanly chant the Holy Name filled Gadadhara with
\n happiness. He said, \u201cWhy tomorrow? You have already chanted today. And this
\n powerful name of Hari will destroy your sins and purify your existence.\u201d From
\n that day on the Kazi took shelter of Sri Gadadhara Dasa Goswami. His samadhi
\n is in the 64 Samadhis Area. \n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
