About the Author
Born in southern California in 1951, Gadadhar pran das is a fallen sadhak of Sri Gauranga

and Sri Krsnas madhura lilas from a previous life. Becoming bewildered in his Western

environment, he started searching. And after traveling in many countries, he reached India

in 1969. While touring Indias ancient pilgrimage sites, Gadadhar pran discovered his lost

course in Sri Vrndaban in 1972. Then Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhus call brought him to the

Gangas shore at Sri Mayapura where he began Sri Sri Gadai-Gauranga Kunja project in 1980.

Since then he has taken up a vrata to attain his eternal seva in Sri Navadvipa and Sri Vraja

dhama.

Gadadhar pran is a non-sectarian, free-lance bhakta who strives to duly honor all of

SriGauranga Mahaprabhus followers.

Dedication
Srimati Vishnupriyas deep, emotion-filled prema lila with Gauranga is endless, and it forms

an intrinsic, inner part of his other pastimes. Hence it isnt surprising that progressive

vaisnavas wish to hold Vishnupriya and Gauranga centermost in their worship of Gaura lila.

For as one hankers to know about Vishnupriya, one also gains insight into the mysteries of

Gaurangas gupta Vrndabana, which he keeps hidden in Nadiya. Because Vishnupriya and

Gaurangas madhura lilas run in parallel sequences with Radha and Krisnas nikunja lilas,

they are also diverse as the latter with infinite sakhi and dasi supporters.

Virahini Vishnupriyas incredibly painful plight in Gaurangas separation is another

important story. Because when Prabhu became a sannyasi, she took to performing even greater

austerity and penences than he. Srimatis viraha lila is heartrending, and penences than he.
