   Shri Yadavacharya Goshani, a constant associate of Shrila Rupa Goswami, was also very enthusiastic in hearing and chanting about Lord Chaitanya's pastimes. 

Yadavacharya Goswami or Yadav Mishra He was the brother of Vishnupriya Devi. He was a resident of Vrindavana & a disciple of Rupa Goswami. He was one of the improtant Vaishnavas who requested Krishnadasa Kaviraja Goswami to write Shri Chaitanya Charitamrita. (In the wallpaper: in the left Shrimati Vishnupriya Devi, in the right Shri Rupa Goswami, Shri Chaitanya Charitaamrita).

 Before Chaitanya-Charitamrita a number of treatises pertaining to the life of Mahaprabhu were written. But none of these satisfactorily described the last days of Mahaprabhu in Nilachala. Therefore the Devotees of Mahaprabhu were left dissatisfied and disappointed. One day some prominent Devotees of Vrindavana, including Shri Bhugarbha Goswami, Kashishvara Goswami’s disciple Govinda Goswami, Rupa Goswami’s disciple Yadavacharya Goswami, Mukunda Chakravarti, Shivananda Chakravarti and Haridasa (sevait of Govinda Deva), together requested Krishnadasa to compile a biograbhy of Mahaprabhu, which described the antya-lila (last days) of Mahaprabhu in detail.

   When Virabhadra Goswami arrived at Vrindavana, Yadavacharya went with other Devotees to welcome him.

   The family priests of Mahaprabhu at Navadwipa claim to be descendants of Yadavacharya.
