Srila Madhavendra Puri appeared in the 14th century. He was a guru
of the Brahma or Madhva sampradaya, one of the four (Brahma,
Sri, Rudra and Sanaka) Vaishnava lineages that purify the world in
the age of Kali.
Madhavendra Puri was the disciple of Lakshmipati-Tirtha.
Madhavendra Puri's disciples included Ishvara Puri, Advaita
Acharya, Paramananda Puri (a Brahmin from the Tirhu area),
Brahmananda Puri, Sri Ranga Puri, Pundarika Vidyanidhi, Raghupati
Upadhyaya, and others. Nityananda Prabhu is said by some to be
Madhavendra Puri's disciple, others say that Lakshmipati was his
guru, while the Prema-vilasa states that he was Ishvara Puri's
disciple.
At the time of his departure from this world, Madhavendra Puri was
completely absorbed in separation from Krsna and constantly
repeated one sloka. This verse is considered by Gaudiya Vaishnavas
to be the essence of expression of the mood of
separation.
Madhavendra Puri's
disappearance day is the sukla
dvadasi of the month of Phalgun.
