Význam

Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura writes in his Anubhāṣya, “To go to the headquarters of Kānu Ṭhākura, one has to proceed by boat from the Jhikaragāchā-ghāṭa station to the river known as Kapotākṣa. Otherwise, if one goes about two or two and a half miles from the Jhikaragāchā-ghāṭa station, he can see Bodhakhānā, the headquarters of Kānu Ṭhākura. The son of Sadāśiva was Puruṣottama Ṭhākura, and his son was Kānu Ṭhākura. The descendants of Kānu Ṭhākura know him as Nāgara Puruṣottama. He was the cowherd boy named Dāma during kṛṣṇa-līlā. It is said that just after the birth of Kānu Ṭhākura, his mother, Jāhnavā, died. When he was about twelve days old, Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu took him to His home at Khaḍadaha. It is ascertained that Kānu Ṭhākura was born some time in the Bengali year 942 [A.D. 1535]. It is said that he took birth on the Ratha-yātrā day. Because he was a great devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa from the very beginning of his life, Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu gave him the name Śiśu Kṛṣṇadāsa. When he was five years old he went to Vṛndāvana with Jāhnavā-mātā, and the Gosvāmīs, upon seeing the ecstatic symptoms of Kānu Ṭhākura, gave him the name Kānāi Ṭhākura.

Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura ve své Anubhāṣyi uvádí: „Abychom se dostali do vesnice Kānua Ṭhākura, musíme jet lodí z Džhikargáčha-ghátu k řece Kapotákša. Jinak lze jít také z Džhikargáčha-ghátu asi čtyři kilometry do Bódhakhány, kde Kānu Ṭhākura žil. Sadāśivův syn byl Puruṣottama Ṭhākura a jeho synem byl Kānu Ṭhākura. Jeho potomkové ho znají jako Nāgara Puruṣottamu. V kṛṣṇa-līle je to pasáček Dāma. Říká se, že jeho matka Jāhnavā zemřela hned po porodu. Když mu bylo dvanáct dní, vzal si ho Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu do svého domu do Khadadahy. Bylo zjištěno, že se Kānu Ṭhākura narodil někdy v bengálském roce 942 (1535 n.l.), prý v den Ratha-yātry. Protože byl již od narození velkým oddaným Pána Kṛṣṇy, dal mu Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu jméno Śiśu Kṛṣṇadāsa. V pěti letech šel s Jāhnavā-mātou do Vrindávanu, a když Gosvāmī viděli extatické příznaky Kānua Ṭhākura, dali mu jméno Kānāi Ṭhākura.

“In the family of Kānu Ṭhākura there is a Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa Deity known as Prāṇavallabha. It is said that his family worshiped this Deity long before the appearance of Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu. When there was a Maharashtrian invasion of Bengal, the family of Kānu Ṭhākura was scattered, and after the invasion one Harikṛṣṇa Gosvāmī of that family came back to their original home, Bodhakhānā, and re-established the Prāṇavallabha Deity. The descendants of the family still engage in the service of Prāṇavallabha. Kānu Ṭhākura was present during the Kheṭari utsava, when Jāhnavā-devī and Vīrabhadra Gosvāmī were also present. One of Kānu Ṭhākura’s family members, Mādhavācārya, married the daughter of Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, who was named Gaṅgādevī. Both Puruṣottama Ṭhākura and Kānu Ṭhākura had many disciples from brāhmaṇa families. Most of the disciplic descendants of Kānu Ṭhākura now reside in the village named Gaḍabetā, by the river Śilāvatī, in the Midnapore district.”

Rodina Kānua Ṭhākura má Božstvo Rādhā-Kṛṣṇy známé jako Prāṇavallabha. Říká se, že jeho rodina toto Božstvo uctívala již dlouho předtím, než se zjevil Pán Caitanya Mahāprabhu. Během maháráštrijského nájezdu na Bengálsko byla rodina Kānua Ṭhākura rozprášena, ale potom se jeden z členů této rodiny, Harikṛṣṇa Gosvāmī, vrátil do jejich původního domova Bódhakhány a znovu instaloval Božstvo Prāṇavallabhy, které potomkové rodiny dodnes uctívají. Kānu Ṭhākura se zúčastnil kheturské utsavy, kde byli také Jāhnavā-devī a Vīrabhadra Gosvāmī. Mādhavācārya, jeden z členů rodiny Kānua Ṭhākura, se oženil s dcerou Śrī Nityānandy Prabhua, která se jmenovala Gaṅgādevī. Jak Puruṣottama Ṭhākura, tak Kānu Ṭhākura měli mnoho žáků z brāhmaṇských rodin. Většina potomků žáků Kānua Ṭhākura nyní sídlí v obci Gadabéta u řeky Šilávatí v okrese Médinípur.“
