Sriman Madhusudan Saraswati Paramhansapada is a name wellknown among the scholars of sanskrit scriptures. He was also nicknamed as Dwitiya Sankaracharya( Sankaracharya II). He was an ardent follower of Advaita Vedanta as his famous book "Advaita Siddhi" aptly displays, yet at the same time he was a great devotee of Lord Krsna and announced- krsnat parataram tattwa kimoham na jane.( I donot know any truth greater than Lord Krsna).He was a disciple of famous Swarup Damodara,the confidant of Lord Caitanya, and in this way, was a friend of Dasa Raghunath . In his later years he stayed at Veneras specially, and visited Vrindaban and Haridwar occasionally.
His disciple,s disciple Padmanabha Saraswati established the fact that Krsna and Shiva are but different names of one supreme truth. While, another great scholar in this parampara , Nrishimha Saraswati showed that Krsna and Shakti are one and undivisible.
My Guru Dandiswami Atmananda Saraswati Paramhansapadaji(Sukdeva Maharaj)taught us the secret teachings of SrimanMahaprabhu, which is kept with this ascetics. As we all know, Mahaprabhu, in his last years, send all of his bengali Parshadas(followers) back to bengal and ordered them to get married, while he kept monks like Damodar Swarup, Paramananda Puri, Prakashananda Saraswati with him to deliver discourses and instructions on sanyasa.Some of this teachings were given to Pujyapada Krsnadasa Kaviraja by Dasa Raghunath, which we find in SriCaitanya Caritamrta.
However, my endeavour is to tell that now-a-days people think only of Gauriya Vaisnavas as the followers of Mahaprabhu. But there is some other devotees also.
