 Sundarananda Thakura

Sundarananda Thakura was an ocean of Krishna prema. As Shri Nityananda Prabhu's chief associate and intimate servant he enjoyed many transcendental pastimes. Together they relished the pastimes of Vrindavana.

   He was a naishtika brahmachari (lifelong celibate). In Maheshpura he established Deities of Radha-Vallabha. In Vraja lila he is Sudama, one of the twelve cowherd boys. His personal Deity of Radha-Kalachandji is worshiped in the Radha-Govinda Temple in Vrindavana, and his samadhi is in the 64 Samadhis Area.
