"Jagadish Pandit was the savior of the world. He was a monsoon cloud of Krishna prema, pouring showers of mercy upon everyone." (Caitanya-caritamrta)
 
Jagadish Pandit and his brother, Mahesh, lived near Jagannatha Mishra in Sridhama Mayapur. One Ekadasi day baby Nimai was crying constantly. He stopped after taking maha-prasadam rice in Jagadish Pandit's home. Then Nimai performed a miracle. Jagadish Pandit swooned in ecstasy upon seeing baby Gauranga manifest a beautiful form with a monsoon cloud blue complexion, shining like lightning, and adorned with a shimmering peacock feather.
 
After moving to Sri Ksetra Dhama (Jagannatha Puri) , Lord Gauracandra asked J agadish to come help spread the Hari Nama sankirtana movement. Taking Lord Jagannatha's permission, Jagadish Pandit took a Deity of Jagannatha back to Nadia to worship in his village of Yashora.
 
In Krishna's nitya-lila Jagadish Pandit serves as the dancer Candrahasa, or a naga-patni (wife of Kaliya).
