Following the instruction of Syamananda, Rasikananda gave initiation to the King of Mayurabhanj, Vaidyanatha Bhanj, and to his brothers and received many priceless gifts. In those days Syamananda Prabhu was in Sri Govindapur. Rasikananda went, along with Yamuna Thakurani, a resident of Mayurabhanj, to see him with all the above gifts. Bound by the desire and request of Rasikananda, Syamananda Prabhu accepted Srimati Yamuna Thakurani as his wife. In 1618 AD, Syamananda Prabhu started the service and worship of Sri Vinoda Ray in Sri Govindapur and organized a huge Rasa Festival.
From that day on that place became known as Sri Rasa Govindapur.
This is a section of the book “Syamananda, the Joy of Radharani (English)”.
