Vrndavana Dasa was born in Mamagachi in the Navadvipa area of West Bengal. His mother was Narayani, the niece of Srivasa Pandita.
Vrndavana Dasa’s father, Vaikunthanatha Vipra, was from Sylet in East Bengal. However, it is said that his father died before he was born and so his mother moved to the house of Srivasa in Mayapur.
In his youth Vrndavana Dasa took initiation from Lord Nityananda and he was apparently the last disciple that Nityananda accepted.
In 1535, Vrndavana Dasa wrote the Chaitanya Bhagavat, a biography of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
In Sri Gaura-ganodesa-dipika, verse 109, it is said:
The combined form of Vedavyasa and Kusumapida, a cowherd boy in Vraja, is Srila Vrndavana dasa Thakura.
Srila Vrndavana dasa Thakura spent some time at Mamagachi and then went to Denuda where he compiled Chaitanya-Bhagavat.
