Sri Narottama dasa Thakura
November 2nd, 2023 | by Harmonist staff
Narottama dasa, born in the 15th century, was a lifelong Brahmachari renowned for his devotional achievements. Born into a kayastha family, his zealous meditation and devotion to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu was evident from his early childhood. As a testament to his spiritual prowess, it is believed that Mahaprabhu left \'prema\' (love) for Narottama by the Padmavati River. Transforming entirely after experiencing the ecstasies of prema, Narottama abandoned his affluent familial life to pursue divine communion, eventually becoming a disciple of Lokanatha Goswami
