Lor d Sriq/oso
, Srivasa represents the pure jivas who dedicate their lives to serving the Lord. Their number is unlimited and they serve the Lord and His consort with pure devotion. In the pastimes of Lord Caitanya, Narada, the eternal devotee preacher, is said to have taken the form of Srivasa and served Lord Caitanya, Nityananda and Advaitacirya with a pure heart. lt was in Srivasa Pandita's house that Lord Caitanya began his sankirtana movement. Every night for one year, the Lord would gather with his companions in Srivasa's courtyard and behind locked doors would chant Krsna's name and experience the highest ecstasy. Finally Lord Caitanya revealed to Srivasa and his companions that he was the Supreme Lord, and for twenty-one hours Srivasa and his associates blissfully performed worship of the Lord along with kirtana, while the Lord sat on a simhisana on the deity altar.
