Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu\/Gauranga<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u015ar\u012b Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the combined form of R\u0101dh\u0101 and Krishna. He is also known as Gauranga – the Golden Avatar of Prema (Ecstatic Love). \u015ar\u012b R\u0101dh\u0101 is the complexion of nava gauracana<\/em>, She wears a nilambara<\/em> (blue) outfit, and She is 14 years, 2 months, 15 days old. Her character is vamya madhya<\/em> and Her bhava<\/em> is ujjvala prem<\/em>. \u015ar\u012b Krishna is the complexion of indivara<\/em> (Sapphire), He wears a pitambara<\/em> (yellow) dress and is 15 years, 9 months and 7 days old. His character is dhira lalita<\/em> (the care free, expert lover who is controlled by the love of His beloved) and His bhava<\/em> is ujjvala prem<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Sri Nityananda Prabhu and Srimati Jahnava Thakurani – The Head of our D\u012bk\u1e63\u0101 Line<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Sri Nityananda Prabhu and Srimati Jahnava Ma are both Ananga Ma\u00f1jar\u012b in Krishna l\u012bl\u0101 <\/em>(Ananga Manjari is 12 years, 6 months, 15 days old). They are the origin of our d\u012bk\u1e63\u0101<\/em> line (aka Nityananda Parivar). Jahnava Ma is the head of our whole Gaudiya Vai\u1e63nava sampradaya. Ananga Ma\u00f1jar\u012b is the head of our guru pranali<\/em> (ma\u00f1jar\u012b<\/em>) line. Nityananda’s other wife, Vasudha Devi, is the origin of the Nityananda bloodline (aka Nityananda Vam\u015ba). Our line is therefore a matriarchal one and d\u012bk\u1e63\u0101<\/em> is usually given by the wife of the Guru (In exceptional cases, if the wife dies young when her son is too young to receive d\u012bk\u1e63\u0101<\/em>, he may receive it from his father or grandmother). \u015ar\u012b Jahnava Thakurani (d\u012bk\u1e63\u0101 <\/em>line) & \u015ar\u012b Vasudha Devi (Vam\u015ba line, mother of Biracandra Prabhu and Ganga Mata Goswamini) were the two consorts of Sri Nityananda. The d\u012bk\u1e63\u0101 <\/em>line is (usually) through the mother, the bloodline is traced through the father. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sri Biracandra Prabhu<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

B\u012bracandra Prabhu is the son of Nityananda and Vasudha and the spiritual son (disciple) of Jahnava Ma. He is a second manifestation of Mahaprabhu as well as a manifestation of K\u1e63\u012brodak\u015b\u0101y\u012b Vi\u1e63nu (the Supersoul in the heart). He is inconceivably both Vi\u1e63nu tattva<\/em> and bhakta<\/em> tattva <\/em>(and therefore not easy to comprehend). He appeared during Kartik on the day of Radha Kunda a\u1e63\u1e6dam\u012b <\/em>(aka Bahul\u0101\u1e63\u1e6dam\u012b). He is the disciple as well as the adopted son of Jahnava Thakurani, the Gaudiya Vai\u1e63nava \u0100c\u0101rya after the disappearance of Nitai-Gauranga. (Ganga Mata Thakurani, the daughter of Nityananda and Vasudha, was Biracandra\u2019s younger sister, Her husband name was Madhava \u0100c\u0101rya (aka Madhavananda) and from them comes the Ganga Mata branch of the Nityananda line).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biracandra had two wives, Narayani and \u015ar\u012bmat\u012b Vi\u1e63nupriya. Biracandra and \u015ar\u012bmat\u012b Vi\u1e63nupriya had three sons, Gopijanavallhava, Ramakrishna and Ramacandra, and one daughter Bhuvana Mohini (according to some sources they had three daughters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
