Gadadhara Dasa Goswami

https://www.google.com/search?q=Gadadhara+Dasa+Goswami

Nityananda Prabhu carefully picked up from the altar very beautiful Deity of Shri Bala Gopala of
Dasa Gadadhar's temple at Eriyadahagram. While holding Him against His chest, He began to dance in ecstasy. When all of the devotees saw that Gopala had taken shelter of the heart of Shri Anantadeva, they made the heavens resound with the vibrations of "Hari! Hari!" Nityananda Prabhu, who was very robust and heroic, then began to roar very loudly while engaging in His ecstatic dance with Gopalaji. Then Madhavananda Ghosa began to sing some songs describing Krsna's dan-lila (from Dan-keli-Kaumadi). Hearing his sweet voice and the poetic descriptions of Krsna's dan-lila, Nityananda exhibited all of the ecstatic symptoms within

  1. His body simultanously as He danced like one intoxicated. The gestures He exhibited while dancing were like slashes of lightning; 
  2. His limbs moved with unparalleled grace. 
  3. His expressive eye movements, 
  4. His sweet smiling and eruptive laughter, and the shivering and quaking of His head, provided a feast for the devotees' eyes and ears. 
  5. His two beautiful lotus feet together, He would then jump in such a way as to completely captivate ones mind. Whomever He would look at would find themselves floating in an ocean of the mellows of love of Krsna, and 
  6. His merciful glance they forgot about the existence of their physical body. The level of devotion that is sought by great yogis and munis was attained that day by the ordinary men and women of that place, as they relished the remnants of Lord Nityananda's love for Krsna.
