Srinivasa Acaryau

Caitanya Dasa and his pregnant wife visited Lord Caitanya at Jagannatha Puri. Lord Caitanya told Caitanya Dasa, “Soon your wife will give birth to a son named Srinivasa and through Srinivasa all the bhakti shastras of Rupa and Sanatana will be distributed.”

When his father passed away, Srinivasa visited the remaining associates of Lord Caitanya at Navadvipa and Jagannatha Puri. He then went to Vrindavana and took diksa initiation from Gopala Bhatta Gosvami. Srila Jiva Gosvami instructed him on the philosophy of Gaudiya Vaishnavism. Jiva Gosvami gave him the title “Acarya” because of his vast scholarship.

Srinivasa along with Narottama dasa Thakura and Syamananda Prabhu traveled to Bengal and Orissa with the books of the Gosvamis.
