Text 51] The Lord's Visit to Sri Vrndavana 155

PURPORT

Sri Lokanatha Gosvami was a personal associate of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
and a great devotee of the Lord. He was a resident of a village named Talakhadi in
the district of YaSohara in Bengal. Previously he lived in Kacnapada. His father’s
name was Padmanabha, and his only younger brother was Pragalbha. Following
the orders of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Sri Lokanatha went to Vrndavana to live.
He established a temple named Gokulananda. Srila Narottama dasa Thakura
selected Lokanatha dasa Gosvami to be his spiritual master, and he was his only
disciple. Because Lokanatha dasa Gosvami did not want his name mentioned in
Caitanya-caritamrta, we do not often see it in this celebrated book. On the E.B.R.
Railroad, the YaSohara station is located in Bangladesh. From the railway station
one has to go by bus to the village of Sonakhali and from there to Khejura. From
there one has to walk, or, during the rainy season, go by boat to the village of
Talakhadi. In this village there are still descendants of Lokanatha Gosvami’s
younger brother.
