Srila Kaliya Krishna Dasa, es un discípulo de Gauridasa Pandita. Sri Chaitanya-Charitamrita, Adi-lila, Capítulo 11: Las expansiones del Señor Nityananda. Texto37: “El vigésimo segundo devoto del Señor Nityananda Prabhu fue Kala Krishnadasa, que era el noveno pastorcillo de vacas. Fue un vaishnava de primera clase, y no conocía nada que no fuese Nityananda Prabhu” Significado: En el Gaura-gaṇoddeśa-dīpikā (132), se dice que Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa, que también era conocido como Kāliya Kṛṣṇadāsa, era antiguamente un gopa (pastorcillo) de nombre Lavanga. Él era uno de los doce pastorcillos. Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura escribe en su Anubhāsya, "Kāliya Kṛṣṇadāsa tenía su cuartel general en un pueblo llamado Ākāihāṭa, que está situado en el distrito de Burdwan dentro de la jurisdicción de la oficina de correos y la estación de policía de Katwa. Está situado en la carretera a Navadvīpa. Para llegar a Ākāihāṭa, uno tiene que ir de la estación de conexiones Byāṇḍel, a la estación de tren en Katwa y luego ir a unas dos millas, o uno tiene que bajar en la estación de Dāńihāṭa, y desde allí ir una milla. El pueblo de Ākāihāṭa es muy pequeño. En el mes de Caitra, en el día de Vāruṇī, hay un festival que conmemora el día de la desaparición de Kālā Kṛṣṇadāsa." Shri Kaliya Krishna Das Thakur Kala Krishna das was born in a Brahman family in Rarhdesh. He was a very great devotee who was very devoted to Nityananda Prabhu. In fact he didn't know anything or anyone other than Nityananda. He was one of the twelve cowherd boys, previously known as Labanga sakha. "Kaliya Krishna das is celebrated throughout the three worlds. One can attain the lotus feet of Shri Gaurcandra simply by remembering him." [C.B.Antya 5.740] Kala Krishna das's Shripat is at Akaihat, adjacent to the town of Katwa. Here he installed the Deities of Shri Shri RadhaBallabhji but They have since moved to Karui, about six miles from Akaihat. The ankle bracelet of Raghunandan Thakur is also being worshipped there at Karui. There is a local legend that the ankle bracelet of Raghunandan Thakur came off as he was dancing with Abhiram Thakur at Bor Danga, just outside of Shri Khanda, a few miles distant from Akaihat. There is a pond now where the ankle bracelet is reputed to have landed, called Nupur kund. (Nupur means ankle bracelet). Kala Krishna das used to perform his bhajan by the side of this pond. There is a very ancient Madhabi lata which is still growing there. The samadhi of Kala Krishna das is situated here. Kala Krishna das was present at the disappearance festival of Das Gadadhar Prabhu which was held at Katwa. [Bhakti Ratna 10.409] Kala Krishna das once went on a preaching tour to Pabna (a district within the present country of Bangladesh). Here he established another Shripat at Sonatala. There he married and had a son named Mohan das. After his son was grown up he left him there and went with his wife to Brindaban. There another son was born to them and who was named Gauranga das (also known as Brindaban das). Eventually Kala Krishna das sent him to join Mohan das in Sonatala. Kala Krishna das had a Deity made in the likeness of Govinda Deb Who was named Shri Kalacand. This Deity he also sent with Gauranga das. The disappearance festival of Kala Krishna das is held at Akaihat on the twelfth day of the dark fortnight in the month of Caitra and in Sonatala on the twelfth day of the dark fortnight in the month of Agrahayon. There are different opinions regarding whether or not this is the same Kala Krishna das who accompanied Mahaprabhu to South India or not. Kaliya Krishna Dasa
"One will surely attain Shri Chaitanya and Shri Nityananda simply by remembering Kaliya Krishna Dasa." (Chaitanya Bhagavata) Completely devoted to Lord Nityananda, Kaliya Krishna Dasa knew nothing but the lotus feet of Nitai. His birthplace is in the Bardhaman (Burdwan) district of West Bengal within a short distance from the Railway station at Katwa, at the village called Akai Hatta. This village is situated on the old king's road between Navadwipa and Katwa. Akai Hatta is a very small village. On the twelfth day of the dark moon in the month of Chaitra, Shri Kaliya Krishna Dasa Thakura disappeared. He left his body while doing bhajana in Vrindavana. This is not the same Kaliya Krishna dasa who accompanied Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu to South India. At present, Kaliya Krishnadas's descendents live in different holy places in Bengal. In Vraja lila he is Labanga, a cowherd boyfriend of Krishna-Balarama. "One will surely attain Shri Chaitanya and Shri Nityananda simply by remembering Kaliya Krishna Dasa." (Chaitanya Bhagavata) Completely devoted to Lord Nityananda, Kaliya Krishna Dasa knew nothing but the lotus feet of Nitai. (In the image: Lotus Feet of Shri Nityananda Prabhu.
