Gadädhara Paëòita - an intimate associate of Çré Caitanya Mahäprabhu. He is one of the members of the païca-tattva. He embodies Çré Kåñëa’s internal potency and is a manifestation of Çrématé Rädhikä. After Mahäprabhu accepted sannyäsa, Gadädhara Paëòita accompanied Him to Purédhäma.
He used to recite the Çrémad Bhägavatam for the pleasure of Çré Gauräìga. Mahäprabhu wrote a çloka in His own handwriting in Gadädhara Paëòita’s Bhagavad-Gétä. After Mahäprabhu’s disappearance from this world, Gadädhara Paëòita could not bear the pain of separation. He departed from this world eleven months after His disappearance.
