Gaurīdāsa Paṇḍita

Gaurīdāsa Paṇḍita
biographical name
a beloved associate of Caitanya Mahāprabhu. His father was Kaṁsāri Miśra and his mother was Śrī Kamalā-devī. He had five brothers named Sūryadāsa, Dāmodara, Jagannātha, Kṛṣṇadāsa, and Nṛsiṁha-Caitanya. His eldest brother, Sūryadāsa, had two daughters – Śrīmatī Vasudhā-devī and Śrīmatī Jāhnavā-devī – who became the wives of Nityānanda Prabhu. Gaurīdāsa’s wife was Vimalā-devī. They had two sons, Balarāma and Raghunātha. Gaurīdāsa lived in Ambikā Kālnā, on the opposite side of the Gaṅgā from Śāntipura. Just next to Gaurīdāsa’s house there is a large tamarind tree, beneath which Śrīman Mahāprabhu and Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu would sit. Once Gaurīdāsa implored the two brothers to remain in his home forever. In order to pacify Gaurīdāsa, Mahāprabhu made a beautiful set of Gaura-Nitāi deities from a nearby neem tree and presented them to him. In kṛṣṇa-līlā Gaurīdāsa Paṇḍita is Subala-sakhā, one of the dvādaśa-gopālas of Vraja (Gaura-gaṇoddeśa-dīpikā 128)
