Vallabh Vidyanagar
On the banks of the river Godavari Sri Chaitanya met Ramananda Raya, the governor of Vidyanagar, and for several days had enlightening discussions with him on the topic of prema-bhakti, devotional service in pure love of God. Before Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu met Ramananda Raya, Sar-vabhauma Bhattacarya told the Lord that no other devotee's knowledge of Radha-Krishna's madhurya rasa compares with Ramananda Raya's. Ramananda Raya gave a series of answers to Lord Chaitanya's first question, "How to attain the ultimate goal of life?' He began with varnashrama-dharma, and progressed to karmarpana, kar-matyaga, jnana-mishra-bhakti, Radha-bhakti, prema bhakti, (dasya, sakhya, vatsalya, madhurya prema), and Radha-prema. He also described Krishna-tattva, Radha-tattva, Radha-Krishna prema-tat-tva, and finally prema-vilasa vivarta.
Vallabh Vidyanagar is a small country town in the middle of the state of Gujarat, India. The Deities Radha Giridhari preside over a small ISKCON temple here.
