Braj Art Gallery Bijoy Krishna Goswami Real Old Photo Frame Digital Reprint 19.5 inch x 13.5 inch Painting  (With Frame)

Bijoy Krishna Goswami was a prominent Hindu social reformer and religious figure in India during the British period. Gosaiji's disillusionment from Brahmo Samaj led him to study the Chaitanya Charitamrita, a biography detailing the life and teachings of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, a Vaisnava saint and founder of the Gaudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya. Bijoy Krishna Goswami belonged to the "Advaita parivar" (family), as the 10th-generation descendant of Advaita Acharya, personal teacher and associate of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was travelling towards Sri Vrindavan in divine ecstasy, Nityananda Prabhu, however, diverted the lord from Sri Vrindavan and took him to Sripad Advaita Acharya's residence, in Shantipur. Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu stayed in Shantipur for ten days and then ignoring the tearful eyes of Shantipur's residents and grief-stricken requests from his mother Sachi Devi, he left Shantipur for Jagannath Temple. Advaita Acharya could not bear the pangs of separation from Mahaprabhu, and in anticipation of parting, Adwaitya Acharya in a fit of grief cursed Mahaprabhu saying - "You have stayed here for ten days, but in this incarnation, your work will remain incomplete, you have to re-incarnate in my family as my tenth generation." Gosaiji appeared in Shantipur as a tenth generation successor of Sripad Adwaitya Acharya.
