[Paramananda das]

 

Written on Guru purnima 2009

dear Prabhus and Maharajas and matajis Please accept my humble obaisences All glories to Srila Prabhupada Today is Guru Purnima and the holy disappearance day of Srila Sanatana Goswami ;I was praying to Sanatana Goswami to give me intelligence and help to glorify him, but I got inspired to glorify Srila Jagadananda first to also please Srila Sanatana Goswami,who had so much love for Jagadananda Pandita. This Prema Vaivarta is such an important book written by Srila Jagadananda Pandit it contains the essence of the teachings of Lord Caitanya..let us all bow at his lotusfeet.

In chapter 15 he reveals some Gauranga lilas not mentiond in CC or CB or any other vaisnava litterature.It is wonderful how Durvasa Muni cursed a boy in Dvapara yuga and how he was liberated by Lord Caitanya Himself.Durvasa muni also appeared in Gaurangas lilas:

Gaura Ganoddesha Dipika states:

111. Sri Jagannatha Acarya, who was also known as Gangadasa Pandita, was very dear to Lord Caitanya. In his previous life he had been Durvasa Muni, who delighted the gopis and was very dear to them.

HH Sripad Narayana Maharaja ,my diksa Guru has stated that Jagadananda Pandit is really a manjari

(it would appear so from his own statements in the later part of Prema Vaivarta) but Lord Caitanya has stated he is the incarnation of Satyabhama, Srila Kavi KarnaPura writes in his Gaura Ganoddesha Dipika :

51. The person who appeared in Lord Caitanya's pastimes as Jagadananda Pandita was actually an incarnation of Srimati Satyabhama-devi. What devotee can say otherwise?

Srila Prabhupada has also mentioned this in his purports of the CC.If Kavi Karnapure says what devotee can say otherwise?

Also confirmed by Krsna das Kaviraja in CC Adi lila 10.21:

Śrī Caitanya Caritāmṛta Ādi 10.21

paṇḍita jagadānanda prabhura prāṇa-rūpa

loke khyāta yeńho satyabhāmāra svarūpa

SYNONYMS

paṇḍita jagadānanda — Paṇḍita Jagadānanda; prabhura — of the Lord; prāṇa-rūpa — life and soul; loke — in the world; khyāta — celebrated; yeńho — who;satyabhāmāra — of Satyabhāmā; svarūpa — personification.

TRANSLATION

Paṇḍita Jagadānanda, the sixth branch of the Caitanya tree, was celebrated as the life and soul of the Lord. He is known to have been an incarnation ofSatyabhāmā [one of the chief queens of Lord Kṛṣṇa].

PURPORT

There are many dealings of Jagadānanda Paṇḍita with Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Most importantly, he was the Lord's constant companion and especially took part in all the pastimes of the Lord in the houses of Śrīvāsa Paṇḍita and Candraśekhara Ācārya.

I accept that and the statement of Sriman Caitanya Mahaprabhu Himself.HH Bhakti Vallabha Tirtha Maharaja has also explained this in his erudite article and given sastric references:
