BrSri Syamananda Prabhuu Syamananda Prabhu was previously known as Duhkhi Krishnadasa. He was born in the village of Dharanda Bahadurpur, in the Balasore District in Orissa. He left his home at the age of 20 to go on pilgrimage. When he went to the village of Ambika Kalna, in the Burdwan District of Bengal, he became attracted to the Deities of Gauranga (Sri Caitanya) and Nityananda. Hridaya Caitanya, an associate of Lord Caitanya, initiated him. He became attracted to Vrindavana by hearing from his guru. He came from Bengal to Vrindavana. He became a follower of Jiva Gosvami and studied under him at the Radha Damodara Temple. Jiva Gosvami’s favorite students were Narottama dasa Thakur, Srinivasa Acarya and Syamananda. Jiva Gosvami put Syamananda in charge of sweeping Nidhivana. He did his service with utter enthusiasm. Syamananda Prabhu traveled to Orissa to spread Krishna consciousness. Many of the kings in Orissa became his disciples. After leaving Vrindavana to preach, he never returned. He left this world at Udanda Roy Bhuiya’s place in Nivas-Kanpur. Syamananda’s most famous disciple was Rasikananda. Sri Baladeva Vidyabhusana was the fourth successor to him.
