Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami
From the book “Sri Vraja-maṇḍala-parikramā”:
On the western side of Śrī Rādhā-kuṇḍa is Śrī Rādhā-Kuñjabihārī Gauḍīya Maṭha. The deities here, Śrī Rādhā-Kuñjabihārī, were installed by jagadguru paramahaṁsa parivrājakācārya-varya oṁ viṣṇupāda Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī Prabhupāda, who propagated pure vaiṣṇava-dharma and śrī- harināma-saṅkīrtana as practised and preached by Śrīman Mahāprabhu throughout the world. A little further away from Śrī Raghunātha dāsa Gosvāmī’s samādhi is the bhajana-kuṭī of Śrīla Saccidānanda Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura, renowned as “the Seventh Gosvāmī”; and the bhajana-kuṭī of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Gosvāmī.
Rajashekhara Dasa
From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:
This temple was established in 1935, by the illustrious founder of the Gaudiya Math, Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami. Just next to the temple is the pushpa samadhi of the great Vaishnava saint Gaura-Kishore Dasa Babaji (1838-1915). At the age of thirty, after the death of his wife, Gaura-Kishore Dasa Babaji accepted the renounced life of an avadhuta and spent his life living between Vrindavana and Navadwipa where he performed his bhajana and was always absorbed in chanting the holy names. He was a shiksha disciple of Jagannatha Dasa Babaji and became a very close and intimate friend of Shrila Bhaktivinode Thakura, who had also accepted Jagannatha Dasa Babaji as his shiksha-guru. Shrila Bhaktivinode Thakura was the father of Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami and in the year 1900, Gaurakisora Dasa Babaji gave initiation to Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati giving him the name Varsabhanavi devi dayita Dasa. Shrila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami later became the spiritual master of the ISKCON founder-acharya His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada
