Govinda Ghoṣa

Srila Govinda Ghosa was, with his brothers Srila Vasudeva Ghosa and Srila Madhava Ghosa, one of three siblings from the village of Kulai on the Ajay river who became eternal associates of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Sri Nityananda Prabhu, celebrated as expert kirtan singers — the three brothers formed one of the seven kirtan parties present when Mahaprabhu attended the Ratha-yatra festival at Jagannatha Puri. The three songs gathered here under Srila Govinda Ghosa's own signature move between gaura-candrika and a verse describing Radha's own beauty, reflecting the same range their combined kirtan performances were famous for.
