>>> SRILA ABHIRAMA THAKURA <<<
Srila Abhirama Thakura was one of the most vigorous preachers among the associates of Lord Nityananda Prabhu. If Abhirama Thakura offered obeisances to any stone other than a sacred salagrama-sila, it would at once burst into pieces. Abhirama Thakura used his home for preaching and for serving Vaisnava pilgrims. His house constantly resounded with kirtana and topics of Krsna.
According to Gaura-Ganodesa-Dipika (12) in Krishna-lila he was Sridama, one of the 12 prominent boy cowherd friends of Sri Krsna. He was Nityananda's dearmost Devotee. Śrī Rāmadāsa was later known as Abhirāma Ṭhākura, he married his wife, Malini, upon the order of Sri Nityananda Prabhu.
Also in the Bhakti-ratnākara (Fourth Wave), there is a description of Śrīla Abhirāma Ṭhākura.
By the order of Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, Abhirāma Ṭhākura became a great ācārya and preacher of the Caitanya cult of devotional service.
When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu ordered Nityananda Prabhu to preach in Bengal, he sent Abhirama Gopal and Gadadhara Das along with him. Simply upon seeing Abhiram Gopal, atheists and blasphemers would flee in terror. He was a remarkable scholar, well-versed in all the scriptures. He was a very influential personality, and non-devotees were very much afraid of him.
Empowered by Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, he was always in ecstasy and was extremely kind to all fallen souls. It is said that if he offered obeisances to any stone other than a śālagrāma-śilā, it would immediately fracture.
