Ramananda Raya is the incarnation of Arjuna, (Pandava) and the cowherd boy Arjuna and yes also Sri Visakhadevi

[Paramananda das]

Ramananda Raya is the incarnation of Arjuna, (Pandava) and the cowherd boy Arjuna and yes also Sri Visakhadevi

Gaura Ganodessa Dipika states Ramananda raya is also Lalita ,both Srila Prabhupada and my Guru Maharaja said ,Ramananda Raya is Sri Visakhadeva incarnated and Sri Lalitadevi became Srila Svarupa Damodara Goswami , so any way please read the rest anyhow hope it is not to confusing

aisvaryasya samagrasya, viryasya yasasah sriyah jnana-vairagyayos caiva, sannam bhaga itingana (Visnu Purana 6.5.47)

The person who possesses all wealth, strength, fame, beauty, knowledge and renunciation is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Bhagavan.

sometimes we conditioned souls doubt the protection of Krsna, and His Supreme power, but Krsna has advised us to take shelter of Him without reservation.This is

kind of doubt is here shown by Arjuna as if he was a conditioned soul when in actuality he is Krsnas eternal associate,thus his bewilderment has come about by Yoga maya.

Arjuna also appeared in Gaura lila:

In Gaura Ganoddesha Dipika Srila Kavi Karnapura has stated:

120. The cowherd boy Arjuna who was a close friend of the Lord in Vrndavana, and the Pandava Arjuna, both joined to become Ramananda Raya, who was very dear to Lord Caitanya.

121. This exalted personality, Ramanda Raya, for many days described to Lord Caitanya the true nature of pure love for Sri Sri Radha-Krsna.

122-124 Some say that Ramananda Raya is the incarnation of Lalita-gopi, and others say that because Lord Caitanya directly told Ramananda Raya's father, Bhavananda Raya, that he was the incarnation of Maharaja Pandu, Arjuna's father, therefore Ramananda Raya must be the incarnation of Pandava Arjuna. The most learned devotees say that Ramananda Raya is the incarnation of both the Pandava Arjuna, and a gopi named Arjuniya. This explanation is also supported by the statements of the Padma Purana, Uttara-khanda. From all this we may conclude that Ramananda Raya is the incarnation of Lalita-gopi, Arjuniya-gopi, and Pandava Arjuna.

So we can see that if we accept Ramananda Raya as the incarnation of Arjuna that he personally spoke with Lord Caitanya that is non different from Krsna.However in Lord Caitanyas lilas ,Lord Caitanya empowered Ramananda Raya to speak very highly about devotional service as we can read in the Caitanya Caritamrta.

So the same Arjuna that in Krsnas pastimes was confused was later in Gaura lila allowed to speak about such high level of devotional service.For a neophyte devotee this Gaura Ganoddesha Dipika will be bewildering ....so best is to see Ramananda Raya as Arjuna, the advanced devotee will understand that all the persons mentioned by Kavi Karnapure was combined in the form of Ramananada Raya, and that Ramananda Raya is really Lalita Sakhi.,according to Srila Kavi Karnapure other acaryas have stated Ramananda Raya and Srila Prabhupada also has mentioned this in his purports in CC Madhya Lila ,I accept this as the ultimate truth and see the disucccsion with Lord Caitanya and Ramananda Raya in CC as Krsna meeting with Visakhadevi

Srila Visvanath Chakravati Thakura has given a very wonderful prayer:

TRANSLATION

1) May Nanda's son, who is full of six opulences, who from His very birth was supremely (1) opulent, who displayed supreme (2) strength by killing a multitude of demons, who became supremely (3) famous by protecting Arjuna, who manifested supreme (4) wealth at Dvaraka, the capitol of the Yadus, who spoke supreme transcendental (5) knowledge to Arjuna, and who exhibited supreme (6) renunciation in the Yadus' fratricidal war, be pleased with me.

2) May Nanda's son, who is full of great opulences, who at the time of His birth had a four-armed form, who once at clay, who revealed millions of universes within His mouth, who broke a yoghurt pot, and who displayed numberless transcendental forms to Brahma, be pleased with me.

3) He employed the strength of His two lips on Putana, the strength of His arms on Kesi and Nrga, the strength of His feet on Kaliya, the strength of His body on Kamsa and Trnavarta, and the strength of His weapons on Banasura and other demons. May Nanda's son, who possesses all strength, be pleased with me.

4) He possesses all fame because He gives liberation to His enemies, because although He took birth in human society, He defeated Siva and the other demigods, because He is submissive to the humble devotees who offer obeisances to Him, because He gave a benediction to Draupadi in the assembly, and because He was lavishly worshipped in the Rajasuya sacrifice. May Nanda's son be pleased with me.

5) He has numberless gopis in Vraja, numberless queens and sons in Dvaraka, parijata trees, the sudharma assembly house, and other opulences. Outside His door Brahma and the demigods offer prayers and bring gifts. May Nanda's son, who possesses all wealth, be pleased with me.

6) He gave to a dear friend the jewel Bhagavad-gita, which has no equal in the world. With love He gave to Uddhava the ultimate truth of the Vedas. He gave to the saintly gopis, who thought Him more dear than life, the knowledge of the sweetest nectar. May Nanda's son, who possesses all knowledge, be pleased with me.

7) He brought an offensive hunter to Vaikuntha in his own body. He abandoned His own proud relatives, even though the sruti declares that they were already liberated and had eternal spiritual bodies. May Nanda's son, who possesses all renunciation, be pleased with me.

�� Although He is unborn, He takes birth. Although He is affectionate, He is aloof from everything. Although He enjoys pastimes, he is inactive. He is both all-pervading and limited. He possesses and does not possess ego and possessiveness. May Nanda's son, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who is full of all opulences, be pleased with me.

9) He who serves this Bhagavattastaka, which is an excellent medicine to remove the hundred fevers of doubt, and becomes overwhelmed with happiness by tasting in his mind the sweetness of the Lord's opulences, enters the path that leads to the Lord's personal association

[Paramananda das]

our Srila Prabhupada clearly stated in CC that Ramananda Raya is Sri Visakhadevi

[Paramananda das]

In Sri Dhyanachandra Arcana Paddhati also Srila Dhyanachandra Goswami has stated in Gaura Lila Sri Visakhadevi appeared in Gaura Lila as Sri Ramananda Raya

in What Sastra is it stated Ramananda Raya is Sri Visakhadevi ?

So if we read Gaura Ganodessa Dipika it is obvious Srila Kavi Karnapure states the Ramananda Raya is Sri Lalita devi , however in Srila Dhyanachandras Sri Gaura Govindarcana Smarana Paddhati he has clearly stated Sri Visakhadevi this book was widely used by Gaudiya Vaisnavas because all Gaudiya Vaisnavas used to chant not less than 64 rounds daily

and this Padhdati was so widely used by Gaudiya Vaisnavas who daily chanted the Gayatri of all the Pancatattva members, of the Asta Sakhis of Sri Sri Radha Krsna and the Asta Manjaris
