Sri Kavi Karnapura states in Gaura Ganodessa Dipika that in Vraja lila Gadadhara Pandit is the daughter of King Vrsabhanu-Srimati Radharani. Gadad\u00adhara Pandit served as Lord Gaura’s chief assistant during His Navadvipa-lila. Sri-Sri Radha Krishna in Vrndavana appear as Gaura-Gadadhara to perform pastimes in Navadvipa in the forest groves beside the Ganges.<\/p>\n
shri-radha-prema-rupa ya pura vrindavandeshvari The incarnation of love who previously was the queen of Vrindavan, Radha, is now the beloved of Gaura named Srila Gadadhara Pandit. Svarupa Damodar himself indicated that he was Vraja\u2019s goddess of fortune, the Lakshmi who was previously the beloved of Shyamasundara in Vrindavan. She today has become the goddess of fortune of love for Gaura and is known as Srila Gadadhara Pandit. Lalita, who is also known as Anuradha, is Radha\u2019s closest friend and confidante. She has also entered into Gadadhara, as was shown in the play Chaitanya-candrodaya. “Gadadhara, the best of the Brahmanas, is the incarnation of both Srimati Radharani and Lalita-gopi. These two are the transcendental potencies of the Lord, and since the Lord is in one sense not different from His potencies, it may be said that He is present wherever His potencies go. For this reason, it may be said that Lord Hari is also present in the body of Gadadhara Pandita. Gadadhara is, therefore, the incarnation of three persons: Srimati Radharani, Lalita-gopi, and Lord Hari.”<\/p>\n Gaura-ganoddesha-dipika<\/p>\n “No one can 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)<\/p>\n Bhaktivinoda Thakura has written:<\/p>\n smara gaura gadadhara kelikalam Remember the wonderful pastimes of Gaura and Gadadhara. Become a servant of Gaura and Gadadhara. Listen to the beautiful narrations concerning Gaura and Gadadhara, and worship Lord Gaura, the beautiful moon of the groves of Godruma.<\/p>\n Sri Gadadhara Pandita is Sri Radha and helps Lord Caitanya who is Krsna Himself to appreciate the love of Sri Radha. Lord Gauranga is in the mood of Sri Radha and this is the most confidential reason for His descend to relish this love that He eternally relishes in Goloka Vrindavana<\/p>\n Siddha Krsna das of Govardhana (a highly empowered and bonafide Gaudiya Vaisnava) has given us something very deep and important about the noon pastimes of Gaura Gadadhara:<\/p>\n MADHYAHNA-LILA OF SRIMAN MAHAPRABHU<\/p>\n PLAYING DICE WITH GADADHARA<\/p>\n from the gutka of Siddha Baba<\/p>\n “Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and His devotees are seated in a pavilion of the six-seasonal flower garden of Srivasa Pandit, completely absorbed in ecstasy. Mahaprabhu hears from the mouth of Svarupa Damodara the glorification of each and every limb of Sri Sri Radha and Krishna described by the shuka and sarika parrots. He also hears how Radha and Krsna fondle their individual shuka and sarika parrots and offer them fruits as a reward.<\/p>\n When Mahaprabhu hears these descriptions, He roars in ecstasy and attains external consciousness. His associates also attain external consciousness. Srivasa Pandit then decorates the three Lords and the devotees with flower garlands and sandalwood pulp. Knowing Mahaprabhu’s feelings, Svarupa Gosai sings about Radha and Krishna playing dice and performing surya puja.<\/p>\n Srivasa Pandit then brings various dice for the dice game and places them before Mahaprabhu. In great ecstatic love, the Lord begins to play dice with Gadadhara. Absorbed in the songs of Svarupa Damodara, everyone is immersed in their own braja bhava.<\/p>\n This is the Sri Gadadhara astakam :<\/p>\n Sri Gadadharastakam by Srila Svarupa Damodara Gosvami<\/p>\n Text 1 I worship the greatly learned and exalted spiritual master, Srila Gadadhara Text 2 I worship the greatly learned spiritual master, Srila Gadadhara Prabhu.

With There is one important song by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura :<\/p>\n (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14) (15) (16) (17) (18) (19) (20) TRANSLATION 2) Material riches, youth, long duration of life, and royal happiness \u2014 none of these are eternal. At any moment they may be destroyed. Give up all useless topics of mundane conversation and just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers.<\/p>\n 3) O Friend, ultimately the pleasure to be had in the company of beautiful young women turns to fearfulness and distracts one from the real goal of life. Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers with your mind intoxicated by the nectarine mellows of the holy name.<\/p>\n 4) The taste of mundane poetry does not afford the sweet taste of actual poetry. The sweet mellows of true poetry are found in descriptions of Lord Caitanya, the savior of all souls in the Kali yuga. Enough with the study of any other topics! Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers.<\/p>\n 5) Krishna, the transcendental paramour, stands on the banks of the Yamuna with Radha, the daughter of Vrsabhanu, on His left side. He is absorbed in the pastime of playing soft, melodious songs on His flute. Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers, Lord Caitanya, who is non-different from the son of Nanda.<\/p>\n 6) He is Lord Hari, shining like molten gold and surrounded by His loving devotees in the midst of hari-kirtana, He is the only ocean of mercy for the Gaudiya Vaisnavas. Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers.<\/p>\n 7) Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers \u2014 Lord Caitanya, who along with His beloved wife Visnu-priya is glorified by all demigods and saintly persons. His home, Navadvipa, is surrounded by the river Ganga, the daughter of the Himalayas. He is the Lord of Navadvipa and the stealer of the hearts of all sannyasi\u2019s.<\/p>\n 8) Lord Gauranga is like a powerful hammer that smashes the sin and oppression of the mad-dog of the Kali-yuga. and He is absorbed in distributing the holy name of Krishna, which is the greatest medicine to release one from the material existence. His transcendental form is beautiful, and His heart is full of compassion for the suffering, fallen souls of this world. Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers.<\/p>\n 9) Compassion which is free from the duality of \u201cFriend\u201d and \u201cenemy\u201d is always manifest of his lotus face. He is the son of Maharaja Nanda \u2014 Krishna, who has appeared in a golden form in the land of Navadvipa. Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers.<\/p>\n 10) In this world and in the Upanishads He is celebrated as the all-pervading Supreme Lord. He appeared as the son of a brahmana and is Lord Hari Himself, with a shining complexion of molten gold. In His own abode He sports with His cowherd boyfriends. Just worship this Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers.<\/p>\n 11) He is the most wonderful of all avataras because He is the source of all other expansions of God. He is the Supreme Truth, enjoying His pastimes here in this world. He is the embodiment of the most confidential flows that exist in the ocean of rasa.<\/p>\n 12) Without strong devotional worship and service, mere mundane scholarship, high family lineage, wealth and so on are not effective for invoking the causeless mercy of the Lord. O friend, just worship Lord Gaura, the beautiful moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers, by the path of unmotivated devotion.<\/p>\n 13) In His appearance as Hari, the Lord liberated Gajendra, the king of elephants, from the grasp of the crocodile in the lake, and in His appearance as Sri Caitanya, He delivered King Gajapati Prataparudra from the jaws of the kali-yuga crocodile who was lying in the lake of politics. Lord Sri Caitanya is unborn, possesses inconceivable power, and is likened to an auspicious desire tree. Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers.<\/p>\n 14) Lord Krsna, who was pleased with the penances and austerities of Indra and the Surabhi cow, appeared in this world as Lord Caitanya, possessing a golden complexion. He is eternal happiness and the captivator of the intelligence of all learned sages. Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers.<\/p>\n 15) Give up all worldly desires, monistic meditation and relative conceptions of inauspiciousness and auspiciousness. In a favorable mood, with loving devotion, just engage yourself in just worshipping Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers.<\/p>\n 16) Remaining devoted to the service of the Vaishnava\u2019s, being addicted to drinking the sweet nectar of the name of Hari, and with a mentality endowed with modesty, humility, and compassion, just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers.<\/p>\n 17) Always worship Lord Gaura, the beautiful moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers, and call out to the Lord,\u201d O Yadava, O Madhava O Krishna, O Hari, O Rama O Janardana, O Keshava, O beloved Lord of Radha!\u201d<\/p>\n 18) Just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers and call out to the Lord \u201cO Lord of the Vrindavana forest, which lies along the banks of the Yamuna! O Lord of Govardhana Hill! O sun of the forest of Gokula! O giver of life to the rasa dance.! O Gaurahari!<\/p>\n 19) Go to Navadvipa, the land of Lord Caitanya, Read and recite with great joy the wonderful pastimes of Lord Gaurahari. Roll about in ecstasy on the banks of the Ganges, which are marked with the footprints of Lord Caitanya, and just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers. Remember the wonderful pastimes of Gaura and Gadadhara.<\/p>\n 20) Become a servant of Gaura and Gadadhara. Listen to the beautiful narrations concerning Gaura and Gadadhara and just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers.<\/p>\n Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura installed a few Gaura Gadadhara Arca Vigrahas in Navadvipa as did Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Prabhupada<\/p>\n Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura has described in his Navadvipa Bhava Taranga:<\/p>\n 76 In the northern part of Kola-dvipa is the village called Champa Hatta, which perpetually shines beautifully within Navadvipa Dhama. This Champa Hatta is a great holy place and is quite an enchanting village. It is where the poet Jayadeva worships the moonlike Gaura. Sri Gaura Gadadhara Gaudiya Math is a temple located at Champahatti in Koladvipa, one of the nine islands in Navadvipa. It is known among all Gaudiya Vaisnavas:<\/p>\n “If you do not worship Gaura-Gadadhara then you cannot understand Radha and Krsna.”<\/p>\n krsna-lila amrta-sara, tara sata sata dhara Why should we give so much consideration to the words of Bhaktivinoda? Because we are in the parampara of Bhaktivinoda. We are ‘Bhaktivinoda-parivara’ (members of the transcendental family of Bhaktivinoda, Kamala-manjari). Therefore, we take his words as supreme guidance. Bhaktivinoda Thakura appeared in this world to reveal the place of Sri Caitanya’s appearance and to teach us the most effective mood of worship in Gaura-lila.<\/p>\n Some people claim to be raganugas (followers of the path of spontaneous love) and others claim to be rupanugas (followers of Srila Rupa Gosvami) but in this day and age that is not enough. If you are not a follower of Bhaktivinoda, if you have not placed your head at his divine lotus feet and begged to be admitted as a member of his clan, then you are nowhere! “In another place he (Bhaktisiddhanta) wrote that the eternal pastimes are always going on in Navadvipa-dhama. Sometimes they are underground, invisible to us, and sometimes on the surface. Nitya-lila always is invisible to us. Now, suddenly, these two personalities have come to the surface, Gadadhara Pandita and Svarupa Damodara. Both have come. Svarupa Damodara came as Gaura-kisora and Gadadhara Pandita came as Bhaktivinoda Thakura. This is not to be given expression in any and every place. This is concealed truth, not to be expressed everywhere and anywhere. This is the fact: they are always here, continuing their own function, their participation in the lila of Gauranga. Sometimes it is underground, sometimes over-ground, but it is always difficult to recognize them. Sri Kavi Karnapura states in Gaura Ganodessa Dipika that in Vraja lila Gadadhara Pandit is the daughter of King Vrsabhanu-Srimati Radharani. Gadad\u00adhara Pandit served as Lord Gaura’s chief assistant during His Navadvipa-lila. Sri-Sri Radha Krishna in Vrndavana appear as Gaura-Gadadhara to perform pastimes in Navadvipa in the forest groves beside the Ganges. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-86630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-articles"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=86630"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86630\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":95306,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/86630\/revisions\/95306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=86630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=86630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dandavats.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=86630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\n1) If you want your heart to be always absorbed in drinking the ambrosial mellows of the lotus feet of Lord Hari, then give up household life, which is full of quarrels and strife, and just worship Lord Gaura, the moon of Godruma\u2019s forest bowers.<\/p>\n
\n77 Here, in the home of Vani-natha, the Son of Sachi performed the congregational chanting of the holy names in the company of His associates. Thus there was a great, great festival in which Lord Gauranga displayed the spiritual opulence of His own ecstatic love.
\n78 In this village of Champa Hatta is also a forest of champaka trees, from which the gopi names Champaka-lata regularly gathers flowers (for making Radha and Krishna’s garlands). This village in Navadvipa is non-different from the forest of Khadiravan in Braja, where Krishna and Balarama like to take rest.<\/p>\n
\nIt was erected by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Maharaja. The presiding deities are Lord Gaura and Gadadhara. This ancient temple was renovated by Sri Paramananda Brahmacari.<\/p>\n
\ndasa-dike vahe yaha haite
\nsri caitanya-lila haya, sarovara aksaya
\nmano-hamsa caraha tahate
\n“The pastimes of Krsna are the quintessence of all divine nectar, and Caitanya-lila is an inexhaustible lake of that nectar which, flowing in hundreds of streams, floods the hearts of the devotees in all directions. Therefore, O nectar-seeking friend, please let your mind swim in that lake like a regal swan.” (C.c. Madhya-lila 25.271)
\nSrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura says,
\nbhale gora-gadadharer arati nehari
\nnadiya-puraba-bhave jau bolihari
\n“As I behold the wondrous arati of my Lords Gaura and Gadadhara, I enter into the mood of Their existence previous to appearing in Nadiya (Their Vrndavana-lila as Sri Sri Radha-Madhava). It is simply indescribable.”
\nAt his place of bhajana in Godrumadvipa known as Svananda Sukhada-kunja, Bhakivinoda Thakura installed beautiful Deities of Sri Sri Gaura-Gadadhara and composed these beautiful prayers.
\nha ha mora gaura-kisora
\nkabe doya kori’ sri godruma-bane
\ndekha dibe mana-cora
\n“Oh, my most youthful Lord Gaura-kisora! When will You be merciful and show Yourself to me, thus stealing my mind within the forest of Godruma?”
\nananda-sukhada, kunjer bhitore,
\ngadadhare bame kori’
\nkancana-barana, cancara cikura,
\nnatana suvesa dhori’
\n“Within the grove of Ananda-sukhada-kunja, You stand with Sri Gadadhara on Your left side, radiating the effulgence of pure gold. With beautiful curling hair, You are wearing the fine dress of a dramatic actor.”
\ndekhite dekhite, sri radha-madhava,
\nrupete koribe ala
\nsakhi-gana-sange, koribe natana,
\ngalete mohana-mala
\n“In an instant Sri Sri Radha-Madhava will appear and brilliantly illuminate the entire scene. Accompanied by all of Their confidential friends and associates, They will dance with Their necks decorated with various types of golden necklaces.”
\nananga-manjari, sadoy hoiya,
\ne dasi-korete dhori’
\nduhe nivedibe, dunhara maduri,
\nheribo nayana bhari’
\n“The merciful Ananga Manjari, catching the hands of this maidservant, will take me to offer me in devotion unto Sri Sri Radha-Madhava, and my eyes will be brimming with pleasure to behold the beauty and sweetness of Them both.”

\nWhen completing the compilation of Bhagavata Arka Marici-mala, Bhaktivinoda also expressed his vision of Gaura-Gadadhara and Radha-Madhava as follows.
\n“The garland of verses from Srimad Bhagavatam sewn by Bhaktivinoda, who is always absorbed in ecstatic love for Sri Gaura and Gadadhara, is now complete. Those devotees who blissfully relish this book daily will certainly obtain the mercy of Sri Radha-Madhava. Sri Radha-Madhava have appeared in Sri Navadvipa in Gauda-mandala along with Their abode Vraja, as Sri Gadadhara-Gauranga, and They have performed Their eternal pastimes in a different manner.”<\/p>\n
\nThe position of Bhaktivinoda Thakura is so exulted that at the end of his commentary on Caitanya-caritamrta, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta wrote that he saw Bhaktivinoda as Gadadhara Pandita. It may be inconceivable to our tiny brains how such transcendental arrangments are possible, but the deep thinking devotees know that such divine wonders are possible by the grace of the Lord.
\nSrila BR Sridhara Deva Gosvami Maharaja spoke of this as follows in Follow the Angels.<\/p>\n
