Sri Rasikananda Deva appeared in this world in 1590 A.D. (Sakabda 1512), on the first day of the bright fortnight of the month of Kartik. His father was Sri Achyuta Deva, the king of Rohini. The village of Rohini was situated within the country known as Mallabhumi, encompassed on one side by the Suvarnarekha River.
In the village of Royni, Rasikananda Deva was dearly beloved by the people. He was also known as Murari. At a very young age he became quite proficient in all of the scriptures. He was very devoted to his parents, especially his mother, whose name was Bhavani. His father married him at a very young age. Murari’s wife Syamadasi was of good character who hailed from the village of Ghonta Sila, not far from Royni where the Pandavas had lived in exile long ago.
One day, when Murari was wondering when and where he might get shelter at the lotus feet of a spiritual preceptor, a voice from the sky addressed him, “Don’t be in anxiety, you will become the disciple of Sri Shyamananda.” Having heard this, he became very jubilant, and began to repeatedly murmur the name Shyamananda. He spent the night almost sleeplessly, calling to his master Shyamananda. Finally, in his dream, he saw his spiritual master, the very figure of charm and grace. Smilingly, Shyamananda informed him, “When tomorrow the eastern sky becomes tinged with pink, you will obtain me.” Saying this, Shyamananda disappeared.
