    SRI ISANA THAKURA

    Sri Isana Thakura was a household servant of Sri


    Jagannatha Misra. After the disappearance of Misra
    Mahasaya, Isana accepted the responsibility of
    looking after the household. He respected Sacimata as
    his own mother and she in turn was affectionate to him
    as though he was her son.
    All of the various household duties such as bringing
    water from the Ganges, growing vegetables in the
    garden, collecting the yearly supply of rice paddy from
    the temple, going to the market, receiving guests and
    washing their feet and so on were carried out by Isana.
    When Nityananda Prabhu came to Sacimata's house
    Isana washed His feet. [C.B. Mad. 1.59] He would also
    clean the room after meals. When Nimai was a small
    boy, He was very restless and would make many
    capricious demands which Isana would eventually
    have to fullfill. [B.R. 12.97] Sacinandana Nimai, the
    very life of Isana, wouldn't go anywhere without him.
    "Isan was always engaged in Sacimata's service, and
    thus he is extremely fortunate amongst the
    inhabitants of the fourteen planetary systems. Sacidevi
    was affectionate to him." [Caitanya- Bhagavat where?]
    "I offer my obeisances to Sri Isana Thakura to whom
    Sacidevi was very affectionate." (Vaisnava-
    vandana/Devakinandana) After Mahaprabhu took
    sannyasa, the entire responsibility of looking after
    Sacimata and Visnupriya fell on the shoulder of Isana.
    After the disappearence of Sacimata, Vansivadananda
    looked after Visnupriya and Isana Thakura. The first
    time Srinivasa Acarya went to Mayapur from Puri he
    had darsana of Visnupriya, but when the three of
    them, Srinivasa, Narottama and Ramacandra went to
    Mayapura, only Isana Thakura was present. "They saw
    Isana sitting alone, his body shining with the
    effulgence of the sun. Though he tried to restrain his
    emotions, still tears flowed out from his closed eyes."
    [B.R. 12.113] After offering their obeisances, the
    three companions introduced themselves to Isana.
    When Isana could undestand that they were the
    favorites of Mahaprabhu, he embraced them very
    affectionately. Thereafter, the three of them took the
    elderly Isana with them and made a pilgrimage around
    the nine islands of Navadwipa to have darsana of the
    places of pastimes of Sri Gaura-sundor. After
    completing their parikrama, they took leave of Isana,
    offering their prayers at his feet. [B. R. 13.9]
    After having spent some days in his company, the
    pain of separation was very acute. When the three
    stalwart devotees arrived at Raghunandana Bhavan at
    Sri Khanda, they were respectfully given seats. Shortly
    thereafter the news arrived from Mayapura that Isana
    Thakura had concluded his final pastimes. [B.R. 13/21]
