Srila Murari Gupta Disappearance
Srila Murari Gupta (fl. 16th century) was born in a Baidya family in Sylhet. He was a physician and noted Bengali Vaishnava poet. He became a devotee of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and moved to Nabadwip.
Srila Murari Gupta, a disciple of Shri Chandrashekhara Acharya, possessed extraordinary humility. He had an intimate lifelong relationship with Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. In 1513, he composed in Sanskrit the Shri Krishna Chaitanya Charanamrita, a poetic biography of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. This work is popularly known as ‘Murari Gupter Kadcha’ (Kadcha of Murari Gupta) among common people. This work is the earliest source for Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s life.
