Sri Jagannatha Dasa Babajiu

He told diksa from Sri Madhusudana Dasa Babaji. He did his bhajana for many years at Surya Kunda in Vrindavana. Each year he would spend six months in Braja Mandala and six months in Sri Navadvipa Dhama. He was considered to be the most advanced Gaudiya Vaishnava in Gaura and Braja Mandalas.

He lived to be 144 years old. Bhaktivinoda Thakur would receive valuable instructions about devotional service from him. To confirm his finding of the appearance place of Sri Caitanya, Bhaktivinoda Thakur requested Jagannatha Dasa Babaji to come see the place. When he got there, Jagannatha Dasa Babaji, at the age of 142, jumped high into the air and began chanting and dancing.

The Deities of Gaura Nitai in the Sona Gauranga Temple, near Nidhivana in the town of Vrindavana, were worshiped at Surya Kunda by Jagannatha Dasa Babaji.
