Vasudeva Ghosh, an intimate associate of Lord Caitanya, was
known for his kirtana. Sri Caitanya Caritamrita says that when
Vasudeva Ghosh led kirtana, even wood and stone would melt upon
hearing it. He composed many songs about Sri Caitanya
Mahaprabhu. Vasudeva Ghosh and his brothers Govinda and Madhava
are eternal associates of Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityananda
Prabhu.
