Sri Vamsi Thakura appeared in the home of Sri Madhava dasa. His mother’s name was Srimati Candrakala Devi. Vamsi Vadana is the incarnation of Sri Krsna’s flute.
On the day of his birth Mahaprabhu was present in the house of Sri Madhava das, along with Sri Advaita Acarya. Madhava was very devoted to Mahaprabhu and Prabhu was also very affectionate to him and his son Vamsi. Vamsi das was present at Navadwipa when Acarya Prabhu came there.
Vamsi was engaged in the service of Visnupriya and was the receptacle of her unlimited mercy. One time Visnupriya devi and Vamsi Thakura decided to give up taking food and water, there not being any point in maintaining their bodies which were so racked with the pain of separation from Mahaprabhu.
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, however, didn’t approve of this and manifested Himself before them. Then He requested them not to behave so rashly, and then instructed them both to worship His Deity form in order to mitigate their feelings of separation.
After Visnupriya’s disappearance Vamsivadana brought this Deity of Mahaprabhu from Mayapura to Kulia. This Deity of Mahaprabhu is very beautiful and is still being worshipped in the present town of Navadwip. The name of the temple and Deity is Dhameswara. It is said that the name Vamsi Vadana is carved into the underneath of the base of the Deity.
