Sri Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakur He was born in 1654 (some say 1638) in a Radhiya brahmana family in Devagrama, in the district of Murshidabad. He studied in Saidabad under Sri Krishna Carana Cakravarti, who was in the disciplic succession from Sri Narottama Dasa Thakura. His son Sri Radharamana initiated him. Visvanatha Cakravarti was married when he was young. While still young he renounced the world, and went to Vrindavana. He was known to be a great philosopher, scholar and poet. He wrote over forty Sanskrit books. He wrote commentaries on many of Rupa Gosvami’s works. Sri Baladeva Vidyabhusana was his disciple. Visvanatha Cakravarti’s Deity of Gokulananda is worshiped in the Radha Gokulananda Temple in Vrindavana. His samadhi is located in the courtyard of the Radha Gokulananda Temple, next to the samadhi of Narottama Dasa Thakur.
