Ramacandra Kaviraja
Ramacandra Kaviraja, the son of Sri Ciranjiva Sena (eternal associate of Lord Caitanya), appeared in Sri Khanda. "Ramacandara Kaviraja was especially earnest, beautiful, intelligent, energetic, and enthusiastic," said one biographer. Although married, Ramacandra and his wife, Ratanala, had no material attachments. They stayed fully engaged in the loving service of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. They had no children. With steadfast devotion he served his spiritual master, Srinivasa Acarya. In Vrindavana, Sri Jiva Goswami gave him the title, kaviraja, "king of poets." He wrote the following beautiful verse:
prakasila mahaprabhu hare krishna mantra
premera vadara kari barila samsara
andha avadhi yata kare parsa
andha avadhi yata kare parsa
bindhu na padila mukhe ramacandra dasa
"Sriman Mahaprabhu is so kind that He manifests the nectar of the Hare Krishna mantra. The holy name will free all souls from the cycle of birth and death, from lower planets, from
hell. The holy name will give one a taste of divine love for Radha-Madhava.
"Whether blind or dumb, anyone can drown in this flood of prema. In this way, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu has filled everyone with love of God. But Ramacandra Dasa is so unfortunate that he couldn't even taste a drop of that nectar."
Ramacandra Kaviraja was one of the eight kavirajas, famous poet disciples of Srinivasa Acarya. Ramacandra wrote Smarana Darpana, Smarana Camatkara, Siddhanta Candrika. He preached widely and initiated many disciples. Narottama Dasa Thakura and Ramacandra lived together as best friends. Narottama Dasa wrote, doya kore sri acarya prabhu srinivasa; ramacandra sanga mage Narottama Dasa, "0 Srinivasa Acarya Prabhu, please give me your mercy. Narottama Dasa always prays for the association of Ramacandra Kaviraja."
In the form of Karna manjari, he serves Sri mati Radharani in Vraja lila. His samadhi is in Dhira Samira Kunja next to Srinivasa Acarya.
