King Birhambir always used to listen to the Bhagavatam. Hearing this, Srinivasa Acharya wanted to go to the king's palace and give the Bhagavatam lecture. He suggested this proposal to Sri Krishna Vallabha. Sri Krishna Vallabha told him that the king had great faith in the Bhagavata and in sadhus.
It is said that "Just by seeing a great Vaishnava one is purified." The great dacoit leader was purified simply upon seeing Srinivasa Acharya. After Srinivasa Acharya had finished his explanations of Srimad Bhagavatam, he began the Sankirtan of the holy name and, after some time, began dancing in the kirtan. After some time, Raja Birhambir, clutching a straw between his teeth, fell before the lotus feet of Srinivasa Acharya and offered his prostrated obeisances in a mood of great humility and begged him for his mercy again and again.
Srinivasa Acharaya could understand the meaning of Sri Gaurasundara's "boundless sweet mercy." One can see his will manifest in everything that happens. Srinivasa Acharya gave his blessings to the king. News of all this quickly reached Srila Jiva Goswami in Vrindavana. Hearing news of all that had transpired, Jiva Gowamis and the other Goswamis were very happy and found the activities of Srinivasa Acharya to be wonderful.
Bidding his leave of the king, Srinivasa Acharya took the chest of books to Yajigram and told all the devotees there of what had happened. Hearing everything from Srinivasa, the devotees were very happy. At that time he heard of the passing of Sri Vishnupriya Thakurani in Nabadwipa.
At this time, Sri Narahari Sarakara Thakura told Srinivasa Acharya that it was his mother's wish that Srinivasa marry. He said, "Your mother is a great devotee. For a long time she has rendered service in Yajigrama. Whatever she orders you to do you must do. It is her wish, as it was your father's, that you must marry."
After he offered his respects to Gadadhara Dasa Thakura, Gadadhara Dasa embraced him affectionately. Gadadhara Dasa wanted to hear from Srinivasa about all the devotees in Vrindavana, especially the Goswamis. He was curious to know from him all about the welfare of those devotees that Srinivasa had seen on his long journeys. After hearing everything from him Gadadhara Dasa became very happy.
At that time in Yajigrama Raghunandana Thakura had just arrived, to the great satisfaction of everyone. In Yajigrama lived a devotee-brahmana named Gopala Chakravarti. He had a beautiful and devoted daughter named Draupadi. Sri Raghunandana Thakura arranged she they would be joined in holy matrimony to Srinivasa Acharya. On the day known as akshaya triti in the month of Vaishakha, the wedding was performed. The Acharya's wife's previous name was Draupadi, but after the marriage, her name became Ishvari. Previously Sri Gopala Chakravarti had taken mantra initiation from Srinivasa Acharya. Gopala Chakravarti had two sons named Shyama Dasa and Ramachandra. They took initiation from Srinivasa Acharya as well. Sri Narahari Sarakara Thakura, hearing the news of Srinivas Acharya's wedding was very happy.
At length, Srinivasa Acharya began instructing his disciples in the Goswami scriptures. Dvija Haridas's sons Sridas and Sri Gokulananda also took initiation from Srinivasa Acharya and began studying the Goswami scriptures under his guidance. Gradually Srinivasa Acharya's influence began to spread. In a short time, many sincere and faithful souls came to him to take shelter at his lotus feet.
He said, "Let us go to the king's palace today." Hearing this, Srinivasa Acharaya quickly went with Krishna Vallabha to the king's palace. When Raja Birhambir saw the brilliant effulgence of Srinivasa Acharya, he fell to the ground offering his prostrated obeisances. At that time he offered Srinivasa an elevated seat, and gragrant flower garlands. After this, Srinivasa Acharya intoned the guru-vandana prayers to his spiritual master in a sweet voice, and began his explanation of Srimad Bhagavatam. His recitation of the verses was wonderful, and his explanations were even more wonderful. After hearing his explanation, the whole assembly, including the king, were melted by Krishna Prema.
Srinivasa Acharya took hold of him and embraced him heartily. He told him that very soon, Sri Gauranga Himself would bestow mercy upon Raja Birhambir. After this the king brought out the chest with the scriptures of the Goswamis and offered them to Srinivasa Acharya.
In great unhappiness and distress, Srinivasa Acharya fainted. The devotees all did their best to revive and console Srinivasa, and after some time he came to his senses. At that time a message came from Sri Raghunandana in Sri Khanda, inviting Srinivasa Acharya to come there. Without any delay, Srinivasa set out for Sri Khanda. When Sri Narahari Sarakara Thakura, Raghunandan Thakura and all the other eternal associates of Sri Caitanya in Sri Khanda saw Srinivasa Acharya they were very happy. Srinivasa offered his respects to all of them and gave them news of the Goswamis in Vrindavana.
Without having to hear his mother's order a second time, Srinivasa took it upon his head. After staying for a few more days in Sri Khanda, he went to Kanthak Nagara to visit the house of Gadadhara Dasa Thakura and take darshan of him.
The Acharaya spent a few more days with Gadadhara Dasa and then bade farewell to him. At the time of Srinivasa's departure, Gadadhara Dasa blessed him, saying: "One day you will certainly taste the nectar of the Lord's own Sankirtan, surrounded by his personal associates. You have my blessings to go and marry. May it bring you auspiciousness." Accepting the blessings and instructions of Sri Gadadhara Dasa, Srinvasa Acharya returned to Yajigrama.
One day Srinivasa Acharaya was in Yajigrama at his own house, where many devotees had gathered to hear him lecture on Srimad-Bhagavatam. At that time, passing by the house of Srinivasa Acharya was Ramachandra Kaviraja the son of Chiranjiva Sen (one of Mahaprabhu's eternal associates). He had just been married, and he and his new bride were on their way back from the wedding. From a long way off, Srinivasa Acharya saw Ramachandra Kaviraja, and Ramachandra Kaviraja also saw Srinvasa Acharya from a distance. Upon seeing each other from a distance a deep mood of friendship arose within the hearts of those two eternally perfect devotees of Sri Gauranga. After seeing each other they were eager to meet one another. Srinivasa Acharya had heard about Ramachandra Kaviraja from the local people. And Ramachandra Kaviraja had heard about Srinivasa Acharya. In this way they met and were introduced by some of the local people.
Sri Ramachandra along with his new bride came to the house of Srinivasa Acharya. How quickly the day passed. They spent the night where they had been staying since coming to Yajigrama, at a brahmana's house near the home of Srinvasa Acharaya, and the following morning went to Srinivasa Acharya and fell before his feet offering prostrated obeisances. The Acharya bade Ramachandra Kaviraja to get up from the ground, and heartily embraced him saying, "Life after life you have been my friend. Providence has brought us together again today by arranging our meeting." Both of them felt great happiness as a result of their having met. Seeing that Ramchandra had an acute and deeply learned transcendental intelligence, Srinivasa was very happy. He began to make him hear the Goswami scriptures. After a few days the Acharya initiated him in the divine Radha-Krishna mantra. After some time, Srinivasa Acharya again started out for Vrindavana. Along with him were many other devotees who also wanted to go to Vrindavana. They followed the path the Acharya had previously taken, and after some time walking and walking, they finally arrived in Gaya Dham, where they took darshan of the lotus feet of the Vishnu deity. After this they went to Kashi. There Srinivasa had darshan of Sri Chandrashekara and the other devotees of Kashi, all of whom were very happy to see Srinivasa and embraced him with great affection. Srinviasa stayed in Kashi for two or three days and then left for Mathura. Upon entering Mathura, he bathed once again at Vishrama Ghata. After this, he went to the holy place of Krishna's advent within this world and saw the Adi Keshava Deity there. After this, he left Mathura for Vrindavana. Soon he arrived in Vrindavan. There, Sri Jiva Goswami was expecting him. Srinvasa went to Sri Jiva Goswami and offered him his respectful obeisances, and Sri Jiva Goswami made him get up and then embraced him heartily. He asked for news of the Gaudiya Vaishnavas in Bengal, whom he had not seen in such a long time. Just at this time, from Puri, Shyamananda Prabhu also arrived in Vrindavan. He offered his respects to Sri Jiva who embraced him and asked for news of the devotees in Puri. After this, Srinivasa and Shymananda were reunited. They offered obeisances and embraced and were very happy to see each other. Then, the news came that Dvija Haridasa had just passed away and they were very unhappy. They stayed in Vrindavan with Jiva Goswami, who taught them various siddhantas, devotional conclusions, from a book that he had just completed, the Sat Sandarbha: Six Treatises. At this time Jiva Goswami had also begun work on a book called Gopal Champu. He read the invocation or mangalacaranam of that book to Srinivasa and Shyamananda. Srinivasa Acharya stayed in Vrindavan with Sri Jiva Goswami associating with the other Goswamis there for a few months in great happiness. After some time, he sent to Gauda Desh for Ramchandra Kaviraja, requesting him to come to Vrindavana. Some Bengali devotees who were in Vrindavan took the message to Ramchandra. When Ramchandra Kaviraja arrived, he introduced him to Sri Jiva Goswami. Ramchandra offered his full obeisances to Sri Jiva, who made him stand and embraced him. Jiva Goswami ordered him to visit the important deities in Vrindavan, beginning with Radharamana, Govinda, and Gopinatha and to take darshan of the lotus feet of the Goswamis. Together with Shyamananda and Srinivasa, Ramchandra did as he was ordered, and the three of them took darshan of the deities and saints of Vrindavan. Seeing the extreme devotional humility and other good qualities of Ramchandra Kaviraja, the Vrindavan Goswamis were most pleased. Srimad Jiva Goswami then ordered Ramchandra to take darshan of the different forests of Vrindvana. After he had seen everything, he went to Radha-kunda and took darshan of the lotus feet of Raghunath Das Goswami and Krishna Das Kaviraja Goswami. After this, upon the order of Sri Jiva Goswami, Srinivasa Acharya and Shyamananda Prabhu set out for Gaudadesh. Gradually they came to Vanavishnupura. When they arrived there, King Birhambir was so happy to see Srinivasa Acharya that he began to dance. After this the king carefully worshiped Srinivasa Acharya according to the rules of worship for the guru, then he offered him nice foodstuffs, and after this arranged for a big festival in the royal palace. Seeing the bhakti of the king, Shyamananda was amazed. At this time, Srinivasa Acharya initiated the king in the Radha-Krishna mantra. The king's name became Sri Caitanya Dasa The king's son, Darhihambir, also took initiation, and his name became Sri Gopal Dasa. By the grace of Srinivasa Acharya, the king arranged for the installation of a deity, Sri Kalachand. Srinivasa Acharya, with his own hand, installed the deities by performing an abhishek ceremony and puja as well as all the other appropriate rituals. After staying there for some time, Sri Shyamananda Prabhu set out for Puri. Srinivasa Acharya left for Yajigrama. At that time, the king of Shikhareshvara, Sri Harinarayana Dev invited Srinivasa Acharya to his own house. The eternal associates of Srinivasa Acharya arranged for a triumphal reception for Srinivasa Acharya there. The Acharya stayed there for a few days and spoke Bhagavat-katha that flowed as sweetly as the current of the Ganges. Many people there attained the mercy of Srinivasa Acharya. After staying a few days in the land of Shikheshvara, he arrived in Sri Khanda, and there he heard that on the Krishna Ekadashi day in the month of Agrahayana, Sri Narahari Sarakara Thakura entered into the Lord's unmanifest pastimes, passing away from this temporary world. Upon heraing this he fell upon the ground, unconscious. In great lamentation, he cried a river of tears. In the pain of separation he could not contain himself. Sri Raghunandana Thakura was lost in sorrow. Upon seeing Srinivasa, he was somewhat pacified. For some days Srinivasa stayed in Sri Khanda, before going on to Kanthak Nagara. Arriving there he heard that in the month of Kartika Gadadhara Das had passed away. Pierced by the agony of separation, Srinivasa felt that his life had gone. In great sorrow, he somehow composed himself and returned to Yajigrama. There, when he returned to his own home he invited all the devotees to a big festival. Some time later, on the Krishna Ekadashi in the month of Magh they had a festival honoring the disappearance of Dvija Haridasa in Kanchangari Nagara. To attend the festival Srinivasa went to Kanchangari Nagara. At that festival there was a great crowd. It was on the day of the festival, that Dvija Haridas's sons Sri Dasa and Sri Gokulananda took initiation from Srinivasa Acharya. After staying there for some days, Srinivasa left and started on his way to Kheturi Gram. There, on the Phalguna Purnima day, the day of Mahaprabhu's advent, a great festival was to be held. The festival had been arranged by King Santosh Dutta. He was the son of Narottam's brother as well as Narottam's disciple. For this festival, Jahanava Devi herself, the wife of Lord Nityananda, had come. Along with her came Sri Nidhi Sri Pati Sri Krishna Mishra, Sri Gokula, Sri Raghunandana, and many other eternal associates of Mahaprabhu. Srinivasa Acharya did the abhisheka ceremony and the puja for the deitiy installation. When the day of the full moon in the month of Phalguna came they began they began the great festival of Hari Kirtana by chanting the holy name all day long. They chanted day and night, and in the midst of that great kirtan Caitanya Mahaprabhu along with his eternal associates appeared before the devotees and revealed themselves to the sight of everyone. The next day of the festival, a great feast was held. The names of the deities were Sri Gauranga, Sri Vallabhikanta, Sri Vrajamohana, Sri Krishna, Sri Radha Kanta, Sri Radharaman. The installation of these six deities was a great festival. The world had never seen such a great Vaishnava festival. At the conclusion of the festival, Raja Santosh Datta distributed beautiful cloth and ornaments to all the devotees. The devotees in their turn showered the king with many auspicious blessings. After the festival, Srinivasa Acharya and Shyamananda Prabhu went back to Yajigrama. Many Vaishanvas went with them, and when they arrived at the house of Srinivasa they began a festival there. After some days, Narottama Thakura arrived there. After the three of them spent some time together in Yajigrama exchanging their realizations, Shyamananda Prabhu headed for Utkaladesh. Srinivasa, Narottama, and Ramchandra Kaviraja left for Nabvadwipa. When they arrived in Mayapura, Navadwipa at the house of Sri Gauranga, they found the Lord's ancient servant Ishan Thakura, and offered their respects to his lotus feet by falling down like rods. They all introduced themselves to Ishan and when he found out who they were he embraced all of them in the ecstasy of prema. At this time Ishan Thakura was the only one staying in the house of Sriman Mahaprabhu. The following day, Ishan took them on parikrama, and together the three of them saw all the holy places in Nabadwipa. As he took themn from one place to the next, they were very happy to hear from Ishan of all the different pastimes the Lord performed in Nabadwipa. After he had shown them the holy places, they again offered their respects and, begging his leave, set out for Sri Khanda. Soon after this, Sri Ishan Thakura passed away from this world and entered the unmanifest pastimes of the Lord. In this way, all the eternal associates of the Lord in Nabadwipa and Mayapura gradually disappeared from the earth and entered into the Lord's unmanifest lila. One day, Raghunandana Thakura wanted Srinivasa to come for a visit, so he sent a devotee to carry this message to Yajigrama. Srinivasa Acharya quickly came to Sri Khanda and offered his respects to Raghunandana. After giving his blessings to Srinivasa, Raghunandana said, "May you live long. Preach the mesage of Sri Gauranga far and wide." After saying this, Sri Raghunandana Thakura went before the deity and, calling his son Kanai, offered himself to the lotus feet of his Gopal-Gauranga deities. After this, the devotees lost themselves in Sankirtan for three days. At that time Raghunandana Thakura again offered himself to the deities of Narahari Sarakara Thakura, Sri Gauranga and Sri Madana Gopala, and before their merciful glance disappeared from this world. Upon seeing the disappearance of Sri Raghunandan Thakura, his son Kanai Thakura, Srinvasa Acharya, and the other devotees were lost in sorrow, drowning in the tears that poured from their lotus eyes in separation from that great saint. After this, Kanai Thakura arranged for a big festival. All the devotees of Caitanya Mahaprabhu were invited from everywhere. On the day of the festival a great number of Vaishnavas arrived there and assembled together. In a big courtyard they began their complete absorption in chanting the holy name. and dancing. In that divine kirtan, Sri Raghunandana Thakura himself appeared before them, dancing. Sri Raghunandana Thakura's disappearance day is on the 14th day of the white moon in the month of Shravana. Anyone who saw or heard of this festival attained their life's success. At the end of the festival, Srinivasa bid goodbye and went to Vanavishnupura where he was given a royal reception at the palace of the king. The Acharya began giving class and performing kirtan at the king's house. From the four directions came many Vaishnavas, who all assembled there. The king with great affection performed all kinds of service to the devotees. In Utkala, Vanavishnupura turns into Vishnupura. Many devotees and faithful and pious people came from there to take shelter of the lotus feet of Srinivasa Acharya. In Radhadesh, in Gopalpur Gram lived a great devotee-brahmana named Sri Raghava Cakravarti. He had a daughter named Sri Gauranga Priya. Not having arranged for the wedding of his daughter, he was in great anxiety, and constantly worried about this. He went before the deity of Mahaprabhu and told the Lord everything, making different offerings, and falling before the lotus feet of the deity. That night that brahmana and his wife had a dream in which his daughter was given to Srinivasa Acharya. After this wonderful dream both of them became very happy. Then again they began to worry that such a thing was impossible. After thinking this over for some time, Raghava Chakravarti went quickly to Srinivasa Acharya. After offering his respects to the Acharya, Raghava Chakravarti with folded hands stood before him. Understanding his desire, Srinivasa Acharya smiled slightly. He offered Raghava Chakravarti a seat and inquired about the reason for his visit. After remaining silent for some time, the brahmana finally spoke, saying, "I have come to submit a suggestion at your lotus feet, but I cannot find the audacity to express it, out of awe for Your Reverence. If you can reassure me that I have nothing to fear in speaking I shall tell you why I have come." The Acharya said, "You have nothing to fear. Please speak your mind." At that time the brahmana offered Srinivasa Acharya his daughter's hand in marriage. When he heard this, the Acharya smiled slightly. Upon hearing of all this, the devotees present there became very happy. At last Srinivasa Acharya agreed to wed the daughter of Raghava Chakravarti. With great pomp, Maharaja Birhambir made arrangements for the wedding of Srinivasa Acharya. When the stars were auspicious, Sri Raghava Chakravarti, having endowed his daughter with beautiful garments and ornaments came to Srinivasa Acharya and offered her hand to him. After marrying Srimati Gauranga Priya, Srinivasa Acharya returned with his new bride to Yajigrama. Exactly at that time the divine energy of Nityananda�Sri Jahnava Devi had just arrived at the house of Srinivasa Acharya, having returned from a pilgrimage to Vrindavana. Seeing her, the Acharya's happiness knew no limits. With great respect he took the dust from her lotus feet, offered her the seat of honor and, after worshiping her, after which he bade his new bride, Gauranga Priya, offer her respects and prayers to the lotus feet of Jahnava Mata. When Sri Jahnava Mata, who is known as Bhakta-Svarupini�the personification of Bhakti� saw the good character and beauty of the young bride She embraced her with great affection. With much happiness, She remained in the house of Srinivasa Acharya for some days, after which she again returned to her village, Khorodoha Gram. In Yajigram Srinivasa Acharya accepted many disciples. He would often discuss the shastras and perform Sankirtan until his voice was hoarse and he could no longer speak. In Yajigrama, Srinivasa Acharya experienced great ecstasy in discussing the Goswami scriptures, in studying them and in teaching them to others. In this way he would pass his days in great happiness. Seeing the Acharya's devotional opulence and expansive capacity for preaching, everyone was amazed. By his influence many important atheists cmae and surrendered at his lotus feet. Srinivasa Acharya, Sri Narottama and Sri Ramchandra Kaviraj were of one heart and mind. Srila Narottama Thakura has written doya kore shri acharya, prabhu shrinivasa�ramachandra mage narottamo das: "O Master Srinivasa, be merciful to me! Narottama prays for the association of Ramchandra Kaviraja." Srinivasa Acharya had three sons and three daughters. The names of his daughters were Krishna Priya, Hemalata, and Phulapi Thakurani. His sons names were Vrindavan Vallabha, Radha Krishna, and Sri Gita Govinda. Sri Gita Govinda son was Krishna Prasada. His son was Jagadananda. Jagadananda Thakura had two wives. His first wife's son was Yadavendra and his second wive's sons were Radha Mohana, Bhuvana Mohana, Gaur Mohan, Shyam Mohan and Madan Mohan. The descendant's of Bhuvan Mohan at present live in Murshidabad in Manikyahar Gram.
