Prabhodananda Sarasvati- one of the legendary Gaudiya Vaishnava and Pustimarga tradition sannyasis.[1] Originally from Srirangam of Sri Sampradaya tradition, converted to the path of devotion to Radha Krishna by Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. When Chaitanya traveled through South India in 1509-10, he stayed at the house of Venkata Bhatta, the father of Gopala Bhatta, priest of Srirangam.[1] Venkata and his two brothers, Gopala's uncles Trimalla and Prabodhananda Sarasvati "were converted from their Sri Vaishnava faith in Lakshmi-Narayana as supreme to one in Radha Krishna" as Svayam bhagavan.[1] The dialog of this conversion is recorded in 16 c. Chaitanya Charitamrita biography by Krishna dasa Kaviraja.[2]
