SIVANANDA SENA

Krsna lila - Vira devi / Duti devi (messengers of Radharani)

Sivananda Sena had three sons: Caitanya dasa, Ramadasa and Karnapura. An associate of Lord Caitanya, he used all his possessions and wealth in the service of Lord Caitanya and His devotees. Every year he would lead a party of 200 devotees from Bengal to Jagannatha Puri to attend the annual Ratha-yatra festival. He would arrange for the devotees' food, tolls, ferries, and lodging. Sivananda Sena's family and servants were all dedicated to Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.
