Sri Madhu Pandit
There is no mention of Sri Madhu Pandit in Caitanya Caritamrta. Only it is
mentioned in Bhakti Ratnakar that Sri Gopinathji manifested Himself before Him.
[B. R. 2.473]
Oh Srinivas! What more can I say? The Lord reveals Himself to his pure devotee,
who then preaches his glories to the world. Who can describe their
incomprehensible activities by which the Lord becomes subservient to their love.
Thus did Sri Brajendra Kumar reveal himself to Paramananda Bhattacarya and Sri
Madhu Pandit, who is the abode of many wonderful qualities.
"Thus has Sri Gopinathji, who is an ocean of mercy, and who sports on the
enchantingly beautiful banks of Bansibat, become manifested by the grace of Sri
Madhu Pandit." [Sadhan Dipikayam]
Thus Sri Madhu Pandit became the servant of Sri Gopinath, whose bodily luster
steals away the minds of everyone. Hundreds and thousands of people came running
to see Him, famed as He is as sweetness personified. When the soothing sweetness
and coolness of his charming form entered their hearts through their eyes, they
found that the burning fire of material existence which had previously been
burning there, was now extinguished.
The Deity of Sri Nanda Dulal which was fashioned from the same sila as Sri
Shyamsundar (Khardaha) and Sri Ballabajiv (Ballabhapur), and which was brought
from the Nawab's palace, is considered by some, to have been worshipped
previously by Sri Madhu Pandit.
Sri Nanda Dulal is still residing in the village of Saibona, which can bereached
by bus from Khardaha. One has to get down at Matarangi Mor, and then proceed by
rikshaw to the temple of Sri Nandadulal. The seva-puja is at present being
conducted by disciples of Srila Omkarnath.
When Srinivas and his companions were preparing to depart from Sri Brindavan
Dham with the bullock cart of books, Madhu Pandit presented him the flower
garland of Sri Gopinathji as his blessing.
Madhu Pandit was the disciple of Sri Gadadhar Pandit.
