One subbranch of HaridÄsa ṬhÄkura consisted of the residents of KulÄ«na-grÄma. The most important among them was SatyarÄja KhÄn, or SatyarÄja Vasu, who was a recipient of all the mercy of HaridÄsa ṬhÄkura.
SatyarÄja KhÄn was the son of GuṇarÄja KhÄn and father of RÄmÄnanda Vasu. HaridÄsa ṬhÄkura lived for some time during the CÄturmÄsya period in the village named KulÄ«na-grÄma, where he chanted the holy name, the Hare Kṛṣṇa mahÄ-mantra, and distributed his mercy to the descendants of the Vasu family. SatyarÄja KhÄn was allotted the service of supplying silk ropes for the JagannÄtha Deity during the Ratha-yÄtrÄ festival. ÅšrÄ« Caitanya MahÄprabhu’s answers to his inquiries about the duty of householder devotees are vividly described in the Madhya-lÄ«lÄ, chapters fifteen and sixteen.
The village of KulÄ«na-grÄma is situated two miles from the railway station named JaugrÄma on the Newcord line from Howrah to Burdwan. Lord Caitanya MahÄprabhu very highly praised the people of KulÄ«na-grÄma, and He stated that even a dog of KulÄ«na-grÄma was very dear to Him.
