81. NAYANA SEN:

        A Vaisnava from Srikhanda, he met Srinivasa Acarya when the latter went to Srikhanda to meet Narahari Sarkara. (Premavilasa 4)

82.     NAYANANANDA KAVIRAJA:

        He was a Vaidya from Srikhanda, a famous composer of padas and the disciple of Sri Raghunandana Thakura.  His unpublished book, Akincana Sarvasva, contains many stories about Srila Sarkara Thakura.  However, some think thatt this book was wri
tten by Vrndavana dasa.  (See Srikhanolera Pracina Vaisnava P. 229)

83.     NAYANANANDA THAKURA:

        He was the third generation descendent of Panua Gopala of Mangaladihi in the district of Birbhuma.  In 1652 Saka he glorified the village of Mangaladihi by writing Sri Krsnabhaktirasa Kadamba, which is based on Sri Rupa Gosvami's Bhaktirasamr
ta Sindhu, and by writing Preyabhaktirasanava in 1653 Saka.

84.     NAYANANANDA THAKURA/MISRA:

        Sri Vaninatha Misra was the youngest brother of Sri Gadadhara Pandita, and Sri Nayanananda Thakura was the son of Sri Vaninatha Misra and was a favorite disciple of Gadadhara Pandita.  He was married and his descendents are still living in th
e village of Bhuratpura near Kandi in the district of Mursidabad.  The Deity of Sri Radha Gopinatha, installed by Sri Gadadhara Pandita still exists in Bharatpura illage.  When Gadadhara Pandita left for Puri, Nayanananda took charge of serving the D
eity.  Another name of Sri Nayanananda Thakura was Dhruvananda and in CC 1.12.80, he is referred to as Misra Nayana.

        In Navadvipa when Sri Gaura and Gadadhara were absorbed in the ecstasy of sankirtana, Sri Dhruvananda would immediately write down exactly what he heard from them.  Being pleased with him, Sri Gauranga and Gadadhara bestowed upon him the name
 Nayanananda.  This incident is described in Padasamudra.  When Mahaprabhu proceeded to Nilacala, He engaged Sri Nayanananda in serving the Deity at Bharatpura.

        Sri Nayanananda participated in the great festival at Kheturi which was arranged by Sri Narottama and Srinivasa Acarya.  Sri Nayanananda was a great poet, but no book of his compositions has been found.  A few of his compositions can be found
 in Padakalpataru.  He was Nityamanjari in Krsna lila. The Gosvamis of Bharatpura show two verses in Caitanya's handwriting in a manuscript of the Gita.  (GGD 196, 207, Sakhanirnayamrta 10.

85.     NILAKANTHA SURI:
        He was a famous commentator on the Mahabharata.  In his Harivamsatika he established the Vedic antiquity of Krsna lila by inserting Radha Krsna mantra in a uniquely scholarly manner.

86.     NILAMBARA:

        He lived in Nilacala and belonged to the sakha of Sri Caitanya.  It may be that Raghu is part of his name as in CC. 1.10.148, he is referred to as Raghu Nilambara.

        According to BMO p. 87, Raghu and Nilambar were most likely two different persons.  In Oriya literature one Nilambara Dasa is found as the author of Padmapurana.  He was alive during the sixteenth century.  Raghu is possibly the same as the w
ell-known devotee, Raghu Arakhita.

        Raghu was Benagali by origin.  He was an associate of the Pancasakhas and was famous for his composition of a number of poems and gitas.  In his short poems Raghu describes the pastimes of Lord Krsna with great love and devotion.  (See K.N. M
ahapatra Khurdha Itihas P. 57-58)

87.     NILAMBARA:

        He was the disciple of Rasikananda prabhu. (Rasikamangala Pascima 14.142)

88.     NILAMBARA CAKRAVARTI:

        He was the father of Saci Mata.  He came from Srihatta to settle in Velpukhuria of Navadvipa.  He prepared his grandson, Mahaprabhu's, horoscope.  He was Garga Muni and Sumukha Gopa in Krsna lila.  (GGD. 104-105)

89.     NILAMANI MUKHUTI:

        He was a disciple of Narottama Thakura.  Prior to meet Narottama, he was a dacoit in the gang of Cand Roy.  By the mercy of Narottama he later became a great Vaisnava. (Premavilasa 19)

90.     NILASYAMA DASA:

        He was a disciple of Rasikananda prabhu.  (Rasikamangala Pascima 14.158)

91.     NIMAI KAVIRAJA:

92.     NIMANANDA DASA:

        He was a composer and compiler of padas.  He compiled 2,700 padas in a book named Padarasasara, 246 of his own compositions are also included.

93.     NIMANANDA DASA:

        He translated Sri Gaurangastava Kalpataru by Sri Dasa Gosvami into Bengali verse.  (See Barangar Pathvadi mes. no. Anu 12 kha)

94.     NIMBARKA:

        Exponent of the philosophy of Dvaitadvaita, Nimbarka is on eof the foremost commentators of the Brahma Sutra.  His commentary is known as Vedanta Parijata Sourabha.  He argues that the primordial concept in the matter of reality is that of th
e Brahmana and that the individual soul (atma) and matter (prakrti) have no independent existence of their own.  They are however different from the Brahman and have an end. Krsna, Hari and other names of the Lord are all indicative of the Brahman, a
ccording to this theory.  Hriling from Andra Pradesh, he belonged to the post-sankara period and is also the author of another work titled Dasasloki.  (An Encyclopedia of South Indian Culture, PP. 324-325)

95.     NIMU GOPA:

        He was the disciple of Sri Syamananda of Sripata at Dharenda.  (Premavilasa 20)

96.     NIRANJANA:

        He was the disciple of Rasikananda prabhu. (Rasikamangala Pascima 14.137)

97.     NIRLOMA GANGADASA:

        He was a resident of Puri and belonged to the branch of Sri Caitanya.  (CC. 1.10.151)

98.     NITYANANDA:

        He was Halayudha in Krsnalila.  Sri Jiva states that Nityananda was a disicple of Sankarsana Puri who was a disciple of Madhavendra Puri.  But Bhaktiratnakara states that Nityananda took diksa from Laksipati who was the guru of Madhavendra Pu
ri.  If this were the case then Nityanand would have been the great-guru of Caitanya and a friendly relationship could not have existed between the two. According to CBh. Madhavendra dealth with Nityananda as a friend, while the latter showed guru-li
ke reverence to the former.

        After personally carrying out an investigation, Buchanan Hamilton has recorded a brief history of Nityananda's family in the Purnea Report.

        Nityananda Prabhu wa born on the thriteenth day of the bright fortnight of Magha (Feb.-March) in the village of Ekacakra in the district of Birbhum in 1395 Saka (1473 AD). His father was Hadai Pandita (Hado Ojha) and his mother was Padmavati.
  His paternal grandfather, Sundaramalla Nakadi Baduri was a brahmana of the Radha clan.

        Nityaanda's past name was Kuvera and He was an avadhuta. According to Premavilasa 24, Nityananda was a disciple of Isvarapuri, although some think that He was a disicple of Madhavendra Puri.  He was Isa prakasa (CC. 1.1.7-11), the cherished g
oal of the Gaudiyas (CC. 1.1.18-19), and is depicted as the trunk of the tree of bhakti (CC. 1.9.21, 1.10.115)

        His childhood sports up to twelve years of age are described  in CBh. 1.9.12-99;  His pilgrimage tours up to twenty years of ages in CBh. 1.9.100-136;  His arrival in Navadvipa at the house of Nandana Acarya and his meeting Lord Caitanya is d

ed by his guru, Nityananda established Sri Radharamana Sevasrama and Matrimandira in Navadvipa in 1911 AD.  Observing his great enthusiasm for service, the title of Sadhu was conferred upon him.  He was a great friend to those who were down trodden o
r alone in the world.  His love for all and his humble disposition relieved the hearts of many.  In 1913 AD. a severe epidemic of cholera broke out in the village of Navadvipa during the time of the Dhulata festival.  Nityananda continuously helped t

        The second disciple of Siddha Sri Krsna dasa babaji, Sri Nityananda dasa was a scion of Sri Gadadhara Pandita Gosvamipada.  He was born in a Radhiya brahmana family and gave himself to the lotus feet of Siddha baba.  He addressed Sri Balarama
 dasa baba as his elder brother.  Nityananda dasa performed bhajan at the Sri Madana mohana Thaura, and his asana still remains there.  Many Vaisnavas learned how to perform bhajan from him.  Sri Ramakrsna dasa Pandita Maharaja was his mantra-sisya.
 Sri Gaurasiromani Mahasaya was also initiated by him.

        Throughout his entire life he was extremely renounced and was unique amongst the raganuga siddhas.  He memorized the entire Sri Govindalilamrta. Whether waking or sleeping he remained always absorbed in spiritual consciousness.  Simply by see
ing him one would spontaneously begin uttering the name of Krsna, and whenever anyone came to him with a problem, the solution would arise within their minds before they had even asked the question.  This supernatural power was observed by many Vaisn
avas of that time and this power was also seen in his disciple Sri Ramakrsna Pandita babaji.  Sri Nityananda was a truly humble Vaisnava, before anyone could do pranam's to him, he always offered his respects first.  Among his disciples the leading o
nes were Sri Gaura dasa, Sri Ramakrsna dasa Pandita babaji, Sri Narottama dasa Adhikari and Sri Gaurakisora dasa baba of Ranicara in Navadvipa.

107.    NITYANANDA DASA BABAJI:

        He lived with his guru in Sri Vrndavana.  After studying Sri Harinamamrta, he took lessons in Srimad Bhagavatam and other books from Srila Madhusudana Gosvami, the priest of Sri Radharamana.  Since his guru was more than 100 years old, Nityan
anda took personal care of all his needs, along with two other maid-servants.  One night when Nityananda was about 25 years old, he became disturbed and decided to approach one of the woman's rooms, along the way he fell into a big hold and could not
 get up.  After three days someone took him out and recommended that he perform namasankirtana.  Thus Nityananda went to the bank of Manasa Ganga and began chanting the holy name wholeheartedly.

        After a few days Nityananda's guru held a great festival and invited all the aged Vaisnavas and Bhajananandi's, requesting them to bless Sri Nityananda.  He then ordered Nityananda to go to Govardhana and do bhajan.  One day on his way around
 Giriraja, Sri Advaita dasa babaji heard the sweet voice of Nityananda doing sankirtana.  He stayed in a hut near Nityananda's for 5/7 days and saw him doing nothing but bhajan.  Sri Advaita could not understand when Nityananda did his madhukari, per
formed his daily rituals, or took bath.

        Nityananda happily engaged in sankirtana there for sometime until one day a babaji came and said that at midnight that evening Nityananda's guru would leave this world and that his guru had asked that Nityananda come to see him. Nityananda, h
owever, did not believe him and at midnight his bhajan suddenly stopped automatically and be felt miserable. He immediately ran to his guru's asrama and found that his guru had departed from this world.

        Nityananda began roaming about like a madman.  Eventually he asked some Mahantas would he should do and they replied, "You did not come to the asana of your guru when he called, so now you must go to a secluded place and put an asana on the n
ame of you guru and everyday pray there, hoping that your guru will come to the asana."

        For one year Nityananda practised as directed and one day his guru appeared on the seat.  When Nityananda put his head on his guru's fett, he said, "Oh my dear son, why didn't you come on that day, now I cannot do anything for you."  Saying t
his he vanished.

        From that day onwards Nityananda remained completely silent, and chanted one lakh nama daily and slept for only two hours at night.  He pronounced the syllables of the holy name very dstinctly, sweetly and loudly.  The last five years of his
life were spent at Govardhana near Govinda kunda.  Before his disappearance he told Sri Advaita dasa babaji, "My gurdeva appeared and told me that I have to suffer for another year." That very year in the month of Kartika (Oct-Nov) before Niyama seva
, he took leave of Sri Advaita dasa and went to the bank of the Manasa Ganga and departed from this world on Rasa Purnima day.

ndavana leaving everything behind.  When he heard that Govindaji was in Jaipu, he went to Jaipur.  Impressed by his songs, Sri Ramasimha, the king of Jaipur, and Sri Kisorimohana Gosvami, the priest of Sri Govinda, insisted that Nrsimha stay in Jaipu

Pausa (Dec-Jan)."  The devotees were mad with joy. However, when Pausa arrived the did not come and the devotees sank into the depths of despair.  However, Nrsimhananda pacified them saying, "Don't worry I will bring Prabhu here within three days."
Saying this he sat down in mediatation for three days and nights.  On the third day he said, "I have brought the Lord here.  He has just reached the house of Raghava Pandita.  Tomorrow he will arrive here.  You must all arrange for His bhoga."  Sivan
anda arranged everything and Brahmacari cooked soup, pitha, kshira and other items.  He sat down in meditation and offered the bhoga to Sri Caitanya, Jagannatha and his own Deity, Sri Nrsimhadeva.  Caitanya Mahaprabhu appeared there and ate all the f
ood offered to the three Deities.  Seeing this Nrsimha said, "You and Sri Jagannath are the same, but why did you take the food offered to Nrsimha deva?  Now my Lord will have to go without food." Brahmacari was overwhelmed with ecstacy and continous
ly cried out, "Alas! Alas."  After accepting the bhoga Mahaprabhu went to the house of Sri Raghava to take rest.  Sivananda could not believe this story when he heard it, but one year later Mahaprabhu told this tory to His devotees in Nilacala.  Then
 Sivananda and the other devotees accepted it as fact.  (CC. 1.10.35, 3.2.51, 3.2.78, 2.1.155-162; GGD. 74)

n.  At the age of sixteen, Nrsimhavallabha took initiation from Mangala Thakura and installed the Deity of Mahaprabhu in Mayanadal village.  He was an accomplished kirtana singer and because the tunes he sang where very pleasing to the people of Mano
harasahi pargana, then became known as Manohara Sahi.
        Whatever he begged from others he offered to the Deity of Sri Gaura.  One day a Muslim offered some pulses and the son of Nrsimha refused to accept them, but later he was ordered in a dream to accept the offering.  From that time once in a ye
ar the bhoga is prepared with only those type of pulses.
