Appearance Day: Srivas Thakur

* He is Naradamuni in Krishna lila, the topmost devotee. In Gaura lila, he is Srivas Thakur.
* He is very very exemplary, very very senior in age too to Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
* Srivas Thakur is a leader in Navadvip. In hos house, CM performed so many pastimes. Srivas angan (CM used to dance almost everyday there to the Holy Name).
* He has only one prayer: He wanted Nimai-pandit (an arrogant scholar) to become a devotee, so that he could make everyone a devotee.
* Only one mission: He wants his Vaishnava-sanga, his bhakti-vriksha to grow always. All the conditioned souls must become Krishna Conscious.
* But once Nimai Pandit meets Isvari-puri, he is totally transformed, now he is simply chanting and longing for Krishna all the time. Srivas Thakur's prayers are answered.
* There are so many pastimes there in Srivas-Angan: One is when his son passes away, and how he does not let CM's kirtans get disturbed because of this. Then Maha-prakash lila.
* Devotion to Narayani, devotion to Dukhi, all because of his mercy, through Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
* Caitanya-bhagavat has so many pastimes about Srivas-Angan. Eg: Milk drinking brahmachary being corrected by CM etc.
* He is the topmost devotee, representative of Srila Naradamuni. Srivas Thakur ki Jay!!!!
