Svarupa Damodara, / Swarup Damodar also known as Purushottama Acharya was a Gaudiya Vaishnava saint and close associate of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Purushottama Acharya did not accept the dress of a sannyasi, but only gave up the shikha and sacred thread.
Swarup Damodar was the avatar of Lalita Sakhi of Vraj mandal dham.
In the Nawadeep lila Lalita sakhi appeared as Swarup Damodar Goswami.
Around the same time that Svarupa Damodara came to Puri, Shri Ramananda Raya arrived from Vidyanagara.
