Sri Jayadeva Gosvami

He is from the 12th century (around 1170). He is the author of the famous song Gita Govinda. This song is sung daily in the Lord Jagannatha temple in Puri and in many other Vaishnava temples. Gita Govinda expresses the deep feeling of separation that Radharani felt after Krishna left the rasa dance. Lord Caitanya would daily hear Gita Govinda sang by Svarupa Damodara Gosvami or Mukunda.

Jayadeva Gosvami was the court pandita of the King of Bengal, Sri Laksmana Sena. After a while he moved to Navadvipa, where he wrote Gita Govinda. He moved to Vrindavana with his wife Padmavati and lived on the bank of the Yamuna. He then moved to Jagannatha Puri and left his body.
