Advaita Acarya It
is stated in Gaura Ganoddesa Dipika that Advaita Acarya and Lord Siva
are non-different. In the Caitanya Caritamrita it is stated that he
is an incarnation of Maha Vishnu. Advaita Acarya takes the form of
Vishaka Devi to take part in Lord Krishna’s conjugal pastimes.
He is one of the most intimate associates of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. After his parents passed away, Advaita went to Gaya to offer sraddha. He also visited many holy places at this time and during his travels took initiation (diksa) from Madhavendra Puri. He also visited Mathura and Vrindavana. There is a tree under which Advaita Acarya stayed while in Vrindavana called Advaita-vat. Advaita Acarya then moved to Navadvipa, where he taught Bhagavad-gita and Srimad Bhagavatam. While living in Navadvipa he prayed to Lord Krishna to descend to earth to deliver the fallen conditioned souls. After Lord Caitanya accepted sannyasa, Advaita Acarya moved back to Shantipur.
