Shri Govinda Ghosh was known for his sweet kirtans at the annual Jagannatha Ratha-Yatra festival. He and his two brothers, Vasudeva and Madhava, are eternal associates of Shri Chaitanya and Shri Nityananda. The Lord would immeditately begin dancing whenever the Ghosh brothers would sing. The Ghosh brothers preached throughout their lives with music and song.
Since he had no children, Govinda wondered who would perform his funeral rites. Shri Gopinatha, Govinda Ghosh’s Deity, appeared in a dream promising that He Himself would do everything. Still today, the Gopinatha Deity arranges for the tirobhava mahotsava (disappearance day festival) of His pure Devotee, Govinda Ghosh.
As Kalavati-sakhi, Govinda Ghosh sings sweetly for Radha-Govindaji in Goloka Vrindavana. His samadhi is in the 64 Samadhis Area.
