Ärî Jayadeva Gosvâmî

Ärî Jayadeva Gosvâmî was the chief Paòàita in the court of the king Ärî Laksman Sena. His father's name was Bhojadeva and his mother's name was Bama devi. He made his appearance at Kendu-bilvagram within the district of Birhum, during the 11th century.

Ärî Jayadeva's wife's name was Ärî Padmavati. During the time that he was engaged as the chief Paòàita of Raja Laksman Sena, he resided at Navadwipa on the banks of Gaôgâ. Also present with were three other Paòàitas whose names he has mentioned in Ärî Gita-Govinda: Ärî Umapatidhar, Âcârya Ärî Govardhan and Kavi Ksamapati, who were his close friends.

Ärî Caitanya Mahâprabhu used to especially relish hearing the Gita Govinda as well as the works of Candidas, Vidyapati, Ramananda Ray and the Kèëòa-karnamrta by Bilvamangala Thakur. Ärî Gita Govinda is full of intimate pastimes of Ärî Ärî Radha Govinda and is therefore meant for those who have accumulated sufficient spiritual piety.

"For those who relish the remembramce of the pastimes of Ärî Hari and who are always anxious to hear those transcendental divine narrations, these verses, sweet as honey, have been composed by Jayadeva with the blessings of Mother Sarasvati."

In the Gita Govinda, while writing about the pastimes of Radharani as She repented after Kèëòa had gone away, he became lost in thought. Not being able to decide whether or not he should write a particular verse, he decided to first take his bath, and return to his writing later. While he taking his bath, Kèëòa Himself personally appeared in the form of Jayadeva, took his meal and then wrote down that very verse with His own hand. Then, while Padmavati was accepting her meal, Jayadeva returned from taking his bath in the Gaôgâ. Padmavati was completely startled to see her husband, and Jayadeva as well was very suprised to see that his wife was accepting her meal before him (which is never done by Hindu wives). Finally she explained that he had already returned from taking his bath once, taken his meal, and then gone to his room. Jayadeva went to where he had been writing and saw the verse that he had been considering whether to write or not, now composed in golden letters.

With tears in his eyes and voice choked up he called out to his wife, "Padmavati! You are so fortunate! You had darsana of the Supreme Lord!"

Bhaktivinoda Ùhâkura has commented that even though Ärî Gaurâôga Deva hadn't revealed his internal pastimes at that time, within the heart of Ärî Jayadeva, Ärî Bilvamangala, Ärî Candidas and Ärî Vidyapati, the transcendental mood of Mahâprabhu was awakened even before He Himself actually made His appearance. Jayadeva Gosvâmî also composed a book named Candraloka. His disappearance is on Pausa sankranti.

His worshipable Deities, Ärî Ärî Radha-Madhava, are being worshipped in the former temple of Radha-Govinda just outside the present city of Jaipur.
