Srivasa Thakur Appearance
→ Ramai Swami

Śrīvāsa Thakura was a close associate of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and a member of the Pancha Tattva.

Srivasa Thakura is understood as tatastha-shakti, a marginal energy of Bhagavan, Krishna in person. Devotees who are headed by Srivasa Thakura are described as ‘parts’ of transcendental body of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. They all participated in His transcendental pastimes. They all helped to spread Krishna consciousness, sankirtana-yajna.

On the other hand, Srivasa is also Narada – an eternal transcendental associate of Lord Krishna. Srivasa was studying Srimad-Bhagavatam with Advaita Acarya, who was at that time in Navadvipa. They worshiped Krishna, who as an answer to their prayers, appeared as Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.

The home of Srivasa, Srivasangam, was a place where Sri Chaitanya perform sankirtana-yajna, congregational chanting of Krishna’s holy names, and it was a place where the Kazi, a noted Muslim leader, ruled. However, the Kazi had a dream where Sri Chaitanya said that he should allow devotional service, so since that time the Kazi promised that he would never oppose sankirtana-yajna, and also that no one from his family would ever be against Krishna.

In the house of Srivasa, Chaitanya showed His transcendental form to all His eternal associates. So Srivasa is also a place from which the Krishna Consciousness movement around five hundred years ago was started.

Srivasa Thakura had previously lived in Sri Hatta, but because he wanted the association of devotees he went to live on the banks of the Ganges in Navadvipa. Srivasa Thakura had three brothers: Sripati, Srirama and Srinidhi.
