Meera Panigrahi: KSHIR CHORA GOPINATH AND MADHAVENDRA PURI - SLIDE SHOW
Meena Devi Dasi: Thank for the lovely pictures and synopsis...
I found this verse in Chaitanya Charitamrta that illuminates the super-excellent position of Madhavendra Puri in the pastimes of the Lord in His incarnation as Sri Krishna Chaitanya.
Śrī Mādhavendra Purī, also known as Śrī Mādhava Purī, belonged to the disciplic succession from Madhvācārya and was a greatly celebrated sannyāsī. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu was the third disciplic descendant from Śrī Mādhavendra Purī. The process of worship in the disciplic succession of Madhvācārya was full of ritualistic ceremonies, with hardly a sign of love of Godhead; Śrī Mādhavendra Purī was the first person in that disciplic succession to exhibit the symptoms of love of Godhead and the first to write a poem beginning with the words ayi dīna-dayārdra nātha, "O supremely merciful Personality of Godhead." In that poem is the seed of Caitanya Mahāprabhu's cultivation of love of Godhead."
