Isvara Puri was Lord Caitanya's spiritual master. Wow!

Anyone have a bio or something interesting to post about him?

Anyone know his spiritual identity?

That's just what I was looking for. Thanks.

This is interesting…
pleased with the service and surrender of Sri Isvara Puri, Madhavendra Puri blessed him to attain divine Krishna prema. On the strength of this benediction he would later be glorified by having Caitanya Mahaprabhu as his disciple.

Dig this…
Krishna accepts the mood in which things are offered as the most substantial part of the offering.

Now this requires gravity…
In this way Caitanya Mahaprabhu demonstrated that no matter how learned a disciple is, he will always be a "fool number one" in front of his spiritual master.

and this…
Service to the guru is the door to devotion.
