46 Sri Caitanya-caritamrta [Antya-lila, Ch. 11
of Nityananda, Krsna Caitanya and Advaita Prabhu were established about one
hundred years ago. A gentleman named Bhramaravara from Kendrapada in the
province of Orissa contributed funds to establish these Deities in the temple. The
management of the temple was under the Tota-gopinatha gosvamis.

This temple was later sold to someone else, and this party is now maintaining
the seva-puja of the temple. Near this temple and the tomb of Haridasa Thakura,
Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura constructed a small house, called Bhakti-kuti. In the
Bengali year 1329, Purusottama-matha, a branch of the Gaudiya Matha, was
established there. In the Bhakti-ratnakara it is stated:

srinivasa sighra samudrera kdle gela
haridasa-thakurera samadhi dekhila
bhumite padiya kaila pranati vistara
bhagavata-gana sri-samadhi-sannidhane
srinivase sthira kaila sasneha-vacane
punah srinivasa sri-samadhi pranamiya
ye vildpa kaila, ta sunile drave hiya
“Srinivasa Thakura quickly ran to the seashore. When he saw the tomb of
Haridasa Thakura, he immediately fell down offering prayers and almost fainted.
The devotees present there pacified him with very sweet and affectionate words,
and Srinivasa again offered his obeisances to the tomb. Hearing of the separation
that Srinivasa expressed in his lamentation at the tomb of Haridasa Thakura makes
one’s heart melt.”
