At
the

His

all
the

Like

he
toured

He
dreamt
that
there
was
the

nearby
well.
The

Shri
Gopinathji
wrote
many
books.
In
Sadhan
Deepika
he
demonstrates
how
Vaishnavs
should
live
their
life.
In
the
second
book,
Seva
Paddhati,
he
discusses
the
various
methods
of
service
to
God.
An
important
contribution
that
he
made
to
a
spiritual
way
of
life,
is
his
selection
of
one
thousand
names
of
God
from
Bhagavati.
These
are
known
as
Shri
Purushottam
Sahastra
Nam
.
When
he
went
to
Shri
Jagannath,
he
ran
to
the
idol
and
merged
into
it.
He
was
only
thirty
at
that
time. |
