The teacher of Yadunandana Dasa and Radhavallabha Dasa, Srinivasa Achrya converted the King Bir Hambir into Vaishnava. His daughter Hemalata Thakurani was also a Vaishnava guru. Srinivasa Acharya, a prasada, is considered to be the ‘abhinna kalevara’ or identical body of Mahaprabhu Chaitanya . According to the legends, Sri Chaitanya continued his works of spreading the message of Vaishnavism through Srinivas Acharya. He was personally invited to come to this earth by Sri Chaitanya. There were two expansions of Sri Chaitanya- the six Goswamis, who discovered the Vrindavan and the expansion of Srinivas Acharya, Narottam Das Thakur and Syamananda Prabhu, who preached the message of Mahaprabhu Chaitanya. The second expansion formed the Sankirtan party; Srinivasa Achrya led the Vaishnava movement and propagated the Krishna Bhakti marg across India.
