One devotee was asking about Sukadeva Goswami in Gaura lila.According to Gaura Ganodessa Dipika vers 110 he appeared as Vallabha Bhatta .So they see Vallabhacarya as Sukadeva Goswami .There is Vallabhacarya the father of Laxmi priya as mentioned in vers 44 to 46 of Gaura Ganodessa Dipika who is the incarnation of Janaka Maharaja the father of Sita devi in Rama lila(though Sitadevi appeared from mother Earth_.SO the question is ,is Vallabhacarya the same as Vallabha Bhatta?

The Pusti marg worshippers call Vallabhacarya for Mahaprabhu instead of Lord Caitanya ,they also claim he discovered Sri Gopala Sri Nathaji , not Srila Madhavendra Puri.
It is unlikely the incarnation of Sukadeva Goswami would object to the sankirtana movement of Krsnas holy name.And also Lord Caitanya chastised him when he stated his own commentary to the Srimad Bhagavatam was superior to that of Srila Sridhara Swamis. If he was indeed Sukadeva Goswami incarnated Lord Caitanya would have treated him differently .Later he also got corrected by Srila Jiva Goswami when he wanted a letter from Srila Rupa Goswami stating that he was a greater scholar than Srila Rupa Goswami, Srila Jiva Goswami strongly objected and defeated him soundly.Does this sound like Sukadeva Goswamis incarnation? Certainly not

So Vallabhacarya was basically rejected by Lord Caitanya and Srila Jiva Goswami ,so how can he be Sukadeva Goswami? How can he take the role of Mahaprabhu? He is not Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu the Supreme Lord Himself nor does he in writings give respect to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu as the Supreme Lord.His followers worship in Pusti Marg seeing Krsna as their son.So who is the Vallabha Bhatta mentioned in vers 110 of Gaura Ganodessa Dipika?
http://vedabase.net/cc/madhya/19/en He served Lord Caitanya in various ways fed the Supreme Lord massaged His lotusfeet even served and took His remnants .So is he Sukadeva Goswami himself? I do not know for sure , but I have my doubts.If any other vaisnavas have any suggestions I like to hear them.I surely offer my humble obaisences at the lotusfeet of Srila Vallabhacarya ,but if he was Sukadeva Goswami himself I personally doubt so. He joined the Visnu Swami sampradaya Lord Caitanya certainly helped him appreciate Srila Sridhara Swami by stating those who think their commentaries superiors to his is a prostitute .
