Srila Narottama Dasa Thakura was the only disciple of Srila Lokanath Gosvami.
The grandeur of his poems is highly appreciated by the Gaudiya Vaisnavas even today. In his famous literary poems ā Prarthana and Prema bhakti Chandrika, Narottama Dasa Thakura expresses his Vipralambha bhava (mood of separation) from Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
Narottama Dasa Thakura was the one who inaugurated the first Gaura Poornima festival after the disappearance of Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Appearance Day of Varahadeva
Srila Jayadeva Gosvami describes the 3rd incarnation of Krishna as follows:
āO Kesava! O Lord of the universe! O Lord Hari, who have assumed the form of a boar! All glories to You! The earth, which had become merged in the Garbhodaka Ocean at the bottom of the universe, sits fixed upon the tip of Your tusk like a spot upon the moon.ā
Srila Bhaktivinoda ThÄkura describes that the two tusks of Varahadeva touched Sri dham Vrindavana and Sri dham Mayapur simultaneously while lifting the earth.
All Glories to such a blissful avatÄra, for looking at this transcendental boar incarnation, the inhabitants of heavenly planets (demigods) became relieved from the fear of Hiranyaksha.
Chant extra rounds of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra for the pleasure of Varahadeva.
*NOTE: Fasting is performed on the preceding day itself (8th FEB)*

Sri Ramanujacharya Teachings
On the banks of Kavari, he instructed his disciples in 64 matters, out of which two were of great importance and were hence accepted by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
They were: Vaishnava Seva and pure devotion. Only by the blessings of the devotees of the Lord can we advance in devotional service to the Lord and receive the pure name.
These are some instructions of Sri Ramunjacharya that we must practice in our daily lives to further our devotion.

Madhvacharya emphasized the path of bhakti yoga, which teaches that the individual soul is eternally a servant of Lord Krishna. Contrary to the Mayavadis, he asserted that the soul retains its unique and individual identity even after returning to the spiritual realm through devotional service. Madhvacharyaās teachings underscored the eternal relationship between the soul and the Supreme Soul, emphasizing that they do not merge into a singular entity.
Sri Madhvacharyaās life and teachings continue to inspire seekers on their spiritual journeys. His unwavering devotion to Lord Krishna, his defense of dualism, and his promotion of bhakti yoga have left an enduring legacy in the world of spirituality. As we celebrate his disappearance day, we honor the sage who illuminated the path of devotion and emphasized the eternal individuality of the soul, guiding countless souls toward spiritual realization
