Sri Haridas Thakur

Srila Haridas Thakur, the revered Namacharya and beloved associate of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, played a key role in the early spread of Gaudiya Vaishnavism. Though born Muslim, he showed that the Divine Name transcends all barriers of birth, status, and background. From compassionately transforming the heart of the woman sent to tempt him, to teaching that loud chanting benefits every living being, his life embodied the limitless mercy of Krishna.
