Nityānanda Prabhu lived in Rāḍha-deśa and preached Kṛṣṇa consciousness. When Nityānanda Prabhu went to Gaurī Dās Paṇḍit’s house in Kālnā He met with Gaurī Dās Paṇḍit and his brother Sūryya Dās Sarkhel.

They knew Nityānanda Prabhu and were very happy to serve Him. Nityānanda Prabhu saw that Sūryya Dās had two daughters and said, “Please make an arrangement, I want to marry them.” Their father was very happy that Nityānanda Prabhu Himself wanted to marry his daughters, Vasudhā-devī and Jāhnavā-devī.

After Nityānanda Prabhu’s Pastimes Jāhnavā-devī took a leading part in the sampradāya of Chaitanya Mahāprabhu. She became a Guru and travelled like a Queen. Everyone respected her spiritual representation of Nityānanda Prabhu and she initiated many devotees. She was the guest of honour at Narottam Dās Ṭhākur’s grand festival in Kheturī-dhām.

Vasudhā-devī had one son named Vīrachandra. He was initiated by Jāhnavā-devī and he came to control the whole society of Chaitanya Mahāprabhu’s sampradāya. He glorified Nityānanda Prabhu and Mahāprabhu in a very grand way, he spread Their glories more widely than They did. His preaching was extremely liberal and he was even more merciful that Nityānanda Prabhu Himself. He did not look at any faults of anyone and always bestowed his mercy upon all.
