Särvabhauma Bhaööäcärya

Särvabhauma Bhaööäcärya - an associate of Çréman Mahäprabhu; also known as Çré Väsudeva Särvabhauma. According to the Gaura- Gaëoddeça-dépikä (119) he was formerly Båhaspati, the preceptor of the devas. At first his residence was in Navadvépa, but he came to Puri dhäma on the invitation of King Pratäparudra, and was the chief paëòita in the king’s court. He was one of the foremost scholars of his time. When Mahäprabhu came to Puri dhäma, Särvabhauma instructed Him for one week in the impersonal conception of Vedänta. After this, Mahäprabhu explained the true meaning of Vedänta and bestowed His mercy upon Särvabhauma in such a way that the Bhaööäcärya could understand Çré Kåñëa’s true identity. At that point Särvabhauma submitted himself unto His lotus feet.
