Gopinätha Äcärya

Gopinätha Äcärya - a great devotee of Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu. He was the husband of Särvabhauma Bhaööäcärya’s sister. During Mahäprabhu’s childhood, he lived in Nadéyä. He later lived with the Bhaööäcärya in Purédhäma while Mahäprabhu was there. He was the first one in Püri to proclaim Çré Caitanya as Bhagavän, for which he was initially ridiculed by the Bhaööäcärya, who later obtained the mercy of Mahäprabhu.
