Srivasa Pandita, or Srivasa Thakura, was a member of the Pañca-tattva,
consisting of the 15th Century Bengali Saint, Caitanya Mahaprabhu, and His four
immediate expansions and energies. Every night, Lord Caitanya
and His associates would chant the names of Krishna and dance in
Srivasa Pandita's house. Srivasa Pandita never made any effort
to support himself or his dependents. Because of his full
dedication to Lord Caitanya and His mission, Lord Caitanya
provided for all his needs.
