The above-mentioned qualities are also present in demigods like Lord Siva. Apart from above 50, 5 more Qualities of Krishna partially appear in Siva Tattva, so total of 55 qualities out of 64 qualities of Krishna.

Pathan Vaishnavas
Chaitanya returned to Puri through Santipur where He again met His dear mother. After a short stay at Puri, He left for Vrindavan. This time He was accompanied by one Balabhadra Bhattacharya. He visited Vrindavan and came down to Prayag (Allahabad,) converting a large number of Mohammedans not by the scriptures of Vaishnavism but by argument from the Quran. The descendants of those converts are still known as Pathan Vaishnavas.

Nakula Brahmachari
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu actually entered into the heart of Nakula for the purpose of delivering all the people of Bengal, as Mahaprabhu was Himself in Puri. As a result, Nakula began to manifest full symptoms of ecstasy in all their forms. To those not understanding it seemed as if he was “possessed by the planets”. He not only appeared to look like Mahaprabhu but he also developed His inner mood.Of course this caused the general people to flock to see him. By Nakula’s influence they all sang, danced and chanted Hari Nama.
When Shivananda heard this he was skeptical. So he devised a test. Traveling to Ambika he kept himself hidden. The idea being if Nakula was possessed of Mahaprabhu, he would understand Shivanabda was present, call him out and tell Shivananda his secret mantra. While Shivananda was completely invisible in such a large crowd, Nakula did indeed call him out and sent men looking for him. When he was revealed, Shivananda offered full obeisances to Nakula.
Nakula addressed him, “You doubted me! Now listen and I will end your doubts! Your worshipable mantra is the 4 syllable Gaura-Gopal mantra! Now you should give up the uncertainty you have kept in your heart!”
This convinced Shivananda that Nakula Brahmacari was indeed filled with SCM’s divine presence! So he did just that and acknowledged his faith and devotion to Nakula Brahmacari.

Basant Panchami
The fifth waxing-moon day of Magha, is very auspicious and known as Vasanta Pancami! On this day the first signs of early spring are visible such as flowering mango blossoms, reddish budding leaves, fresh green grasses and the appearance of yellow mustard flowers. The days become slightly warmer and the Lord’s hemanta-vesha or wintertime clothing is put away. During this time and in the weeks ahead, many very sweet and touching pastimes of Sri Radha-Krsna occur. Their Lordships are traditionally dressed in bright yellow and chartreuse cloth with silver on this special occasion.
Today is also Sarasvati Puja and the goddess of learning, knowledge, music, and all the sixty-four arts is worshiped at this time. Goddess Sarasvati is the wife of Lord Brahma. The Puranas describe how she was variously born from the mode of goodness, the mind, the face, and the effulgence of Lord Brahma. He then gave her three places to reside—on the tip of everyone’s tongue, on earth as a holy river, and within Brahma himself (as his other half, or wife). Some rishis state that Lord Brahma has three wives (Savitri, Gayatri and Sarasvati) and others say he has two or only one. The truth is that all three of these goddesses are different aspects of the same deity, and they are all expansions of the Lord’s internal potency.
The appearances of four great personalities are also celebrated on this day—Srimati Visnupriya Devi, Srila Raghunatha Dasa Goswami, Sri Pundarika Vidyanidhi and Sri Raghunandana Thakura. Visnupriya Devi was the second and dearmost wife of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. She was an incarnation of the Lord’s internal bhu-sakti (Sri Gaura-ganodesa-dipika, 47). Her marriage to Mahaprabhu is elaborately described in Sri Caitanya-bhagavata and her final, touching conversation with Him prior to His taking sannyasa is narrated in Sri Caitanya-mangala. Srimati Visnupriya Devi adopted a very austere and devoted lifestyle after the Lord’s departure, spending her remaining days worshiping His Deity form, remembering His pastimes and weeping incessantly.
Srila Raghunatha Dasa Goswami (1495-1586 CE) is one of the six Goswamis of Vrndavana. He met Lord Caitanya at the age of fifteen and later renounced his beautiful wife and opulent family to completely surrender to the Lord at Jagannatha Puri. He did this after pleasing Lord Nityananda by organizing a chipped rice festival at Panihati and receiving His mercy. In Puri, Raghunatha was put under the care of Srila Svarupa Damodara Goswami and Mahaprabhu gave him His personal Govardhana sila and gunja-mala to worship. After the Lord’s departure from this world, Raghunatha experienced great separation and retired to Vrndavana, where he became a very dear associate of Sri Rupa, Sanatana and all the Vaisnavas. Raghunatha stayed on the banks of Sri Radha-kunda, performing great austerities and doing deep bhajana there for the rest of his life. Once, while absorbed in bhajana, two ferocious tigers came to drink at the kunda and Krsna personally protected Raghunatha at that time. In another instance, Srimati Radharani personally came and used Her veil to protect Raghunatha from the sun. Srila Sanatana Goswami witnessed all this and chastised him for taking service from the Divine Couple; henceforth Raghunatha agreed to build a small bhajana-kutira for his meditation. The three famous writings of Srila Raghunatha Dasa Goswami are: Sri Stavavali (which contains Sri Manah-siksa, Vilapa-kusumanjali, etc.), Sri Mukta-carita, and Sri Dana-keli-cintamani. In Vraja-lila he serves Sri Radha as Sri Rati-manjari, who is also known as Tulasi-manjari. According to others he is either Rasa-manjari or Bhanumati-devi (Sri Gaura-ganodesa-dipika, 186).
Sri Pundarika Vidyanidhi was senior to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu (as a disciple of Sri Madhavendra Puri) and also the guru of Sri Gadadhara Pandita. He resided in Navadvipa during the Lord’s youthful pastimes and later moved to Jagannatha Puri to be with the Lord there. Mahaprabhu considered Pundarika Vidyanidhi a father and his pure devotion caused the Lord to cry out, “Pundarika is My father, My dearmost friend! When will I see him again?” He also declared, “Simply by hearing the name of Pundarika Vidyanidhi, the whole world becomes purified.” Pundarika Vidyanidhi is famous for being personally slapped by Lord Jagannatha while asleep. In Vraja-lila, Sri Pundarika Vidyanidhi is none other than Maharaja Vrsabhanu, the father of Sri Radha (Sri Gaura-ganodesa-dipika, 54).
Sri Raghunandana Thakura was junior to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and the young son of Sri Mukunda Dasa. He is especially known for his great devotion to the Lord and a pastime in which the Deity personally ate everything on the plate offered by him. Witnessing this miracle performed by the Lord for his young son, Sri Mukunda was astonished. Recounting the incident, Mahaprabhu would often joke with Mukunda saying, “Who is the father and who is the son?” Mukunda would reply, “My son, Raghunandana, is actually the father because through him I have understood krsna-bhakti. Therefore he is my real father.” Mahaprabhu confirmed, “Yes, whoever gives us krsna-bhakti is our guru and real father.” Later on, the Lord requested Raghunandana to worship the Deity of Sri Caitanya Deva in order to expand preaching in the area known as Srikhanda. Sri Raghunandana is said to be Kandarpa-manjari in Vraja-lila and Sri Pradyumna of the catur-vyuha in Dvaraka-lila. His father Mukunda Dasa is none other than Sri Vrnda-devi (Sri Gaura-ganodesa-dipika, 175).
Father Son
Being called away on medical business, Mukunda Dasa once asked his young son, Raghunandana, to offer the raja bhoga to the family Deity of Gopinatha. Raghunandana prepared everything timely, carefully, and with great devotion. When he made the offering he remembered his father's order, "make sure the Deity eats." Ringing the bell the simple boy told the Gopinatha Deity, "Eat, eat!" Raghunandana began crying when he saw the untouched food remaining on the Deity's plate. He feared his father's anger for his inability to "make the Deity eat." Gopinatha couldn't resist the child's intense devotion. So the Lord ate everything on the plate, leaving no remnants.
Upon returning, Mukunda asked for Gopinatha's maha prasadam. Raghunandana said the Deity ate everything. Astonished, Mukunda told his son to make the offering again. From a hidden place Mukunda watched in total amazement as Raghunandana offered a laddu to Gopinatha. But the Lord only took half a laddu. Mukunda understood that the Deity only took half because He was still full from eating the lunch offering. Choked with divine emotion in appreciation of his pure devotee son, Mukunda embraced Raghunandana.
Later in Jagannatha Puri, Lord Gauranga lovingly asked Mukunda Dasa, "Who is the father and who is the son?"
Mukunda replied, "Raghunandana is definitely my father. Because he has given me Krsna bhakti and showed me pure Krsna consciousness." In Krsna lila, Raghunandana is Kandarpa manjari or Pradyumna (of the Catur vyuha). His samadhi is in the 64 Samadhis Area.
