Ghanaśyāma dāsa

From Songs of the Gaudiya Vaishnava Acaryas by Narahari dāsa.

Six songs of gaura-candrika under the signature Ghanasyama dasa, several describing the astronomical imagery common to this genre — the moon of Navadvipa rising, eclipsed and then freed, a traditional way of describing Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's appearance on Phalguna Purnima, a night of a real lunar eclipse in the traditional dating of His birth.
