    Rajashekhara Dasa

    From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:

    This temple was established by the followers of Vakreshwara Pandita who was a close associate of Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Vakreshwara Pandita personally worshiped the Deities of Radha Kanta which are still being worshiped today in a shrine next to the Gambhira, the room where Lord Chaitanya stayed at Jagannatha Puri. Here in this temple one can see the pratibhu-murti of Radha Kanta, the empowered replica Deities. The pushpa samadhi of Vakreshwara Pandita can also be seen here to the left of the Deity room. According to the Gaura-ganoddesa-dipika, Vakreshwara Pandita was the gopi Tungavidya in Krishna’s pastimes and this temple stands on the actual site of Tangavidya Devi’s personal kunja at Radha-kunda.
