Sri Gadadhara Pandit He was an extremely intimate associate of Lord Caitanya. He appeared a year after Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Gadadhara (Gadai) and Nimai (Sri Caitanya) were childhood playmates. They were students together in the tola (Sanskrit school) of Ganga Dasa Pandit. He was Lord Caitanya’s chief assistant during Sri Caitanya’s Navadvipa pastimes. In Gaura Ganoddesa Dipika it is stated that he is Srimati Radharani in Krishna’s pastimes. “No one can describe the characteristics and ecstatic
love of Gadadhara Pandit. Therefore another name for Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu is Gadadhara Prananatha, ‘the life and soul of Gadadhara
Pandit.’” (Caitanya-caritamrita) His danta (tooth) samadhi is near the Vamsi Gopala temple in Vrindavana, close to Kesi Ghata
