Śrī Buddha-avatāra

Śrī Śrīnivāsa Ācārya

This article illustrates the life of Mahāprabhu’s personal associate Śrī Śrīnivāsa Ācārya. He preached the teachings of Mahāprabhu both through speaking on the Bhāgavata and through kirtan. Even before the birth of Śrīnivāsa Ācārya Mahāprabhu declared, “I will bring scriptures into the world through Rupa Gosvāmī and others; through Śrīnivāsa I shall distribute them. Śrīnivāsa is the embodiment of pure love for Me. All minds will be enthused upon seeing him.”

Śrī Parameśvara Dāsa Ṭhākura (Śrī Parameśvarī Dāsa)

Parameśvarī Dāsa is one of the most important of Nityānanda Prabhu’s companions, who appeared specifically to enrich His pastimes. Nityānanda Prabhu considered him to be His very own life.

Glories of Srila Srinivas Acharya

Mahaprabhu called Govinda and said in a deep voice, as if from a trance state: “Chaitanya Das desires to have a child. Indeed, his wife will soon give birth to a jewel of a son, who will be named Srinivas. He will be the manifest form of My love and will increase everyone’s enthusiasm for devotion. I will bring scriptures into the world through Rupa Gosvami and others; through Srinivas I shall distribute them. Srinivas is the embodiment of pure love for Me. All minds will be enthused upon seeing him.”
