Life introduction
Dhruvdas has a prominent place among the devotee poets of Radhavallabh sect. The complete analysis of the devotional principles of this sect is available in his speech, which is not available in the speech of any other devotee. Despite having a special important place in the sect, there is no definite information about his birth year etc. In his book named Rasanand Leela, he has given its composition period as follows:Samvat sixteen to panchasa, description is Dhruv Jugal Bilasa.
According to scholars, he was born in a Kayastha landlord family. There is a lot of discrepancy regarding his birth date, but if his Rasanand Leela Granth is considered his initial work, then his birth date must be considered at least twenty years before that. On this basis, his birth is confirmed to be around Samvat 1630 [1830]. Similarly, on the basis of the following couplet available in Dhruvdas ji’s book named Rahasyamanjari Leela [1], his death can be estimated to be around Samvat 1700 [1900]:Seventeen sai dwai oon aru agahan pachhi ujiyaar.Doha Chaupai says Dhruv Ikasat above four.
Dhruvdas ji was born in the Kayastha clan of Devband village. His clan already had exclusive worship of the Vaishnava tradition. According to the descendants of Dhruvdas ji, his grandfather was a disciple of Shri Hitharivansh ji. His father Shyamdas was also a great devotee and social worker. Dhruvdas’s writings reveal that like his father, he too took initiation in the Yugal-Mantra from Shri Gopinath ji.Shri Gopinath’s feet hold the stream of great secret nectar in his heart.Binu Vilam has come, wonderful Jugal Vihar.
Due to his innate sanskars, Dhruvdas ji became detached from worldly things in his childhood and came to Vrindavan at a very young age. He was a very humble, modest, devoted to saints, tolerant and serious by nature Mahatma.

The description of devotional melody App
Dhruvdas ji has introduced his worshipped couple Shyama-Shyama who indulge in lovemaking in the dense grove of Vrindavan in the following Kavitta:Pritam teenage fair romantic colorful couple,The colors of love are the beauty of the sack.One life, one base, one nature and passion,One thing pleases Duhuni’s mind.Sitting in a bower, a bed, covered with a curtain,Both of them eat one beeri in pieces.One taste, one life, one vision, one pole of interestHey hey, the warriors grew bigger, why are you not surprised?
The description of the mutual love of Radha and Krishna is visible in the following poem:As carefree as the hair, so carefree is the red one,The natural beauty of love entangled in the two.The mango of desire keeps watering me every moment,The bed became shade of the bower house.Panish Vadan Joti becomes green every day,As soon as the shower of clouds starts, the pole appears like a cloud.My friend, I have given my heart to you,Like a picture, everyone has forgotten about the body.
Dhruvdas ji has described the nature and beauty of his beloved Radha in many poems and savaiyas. The following poem is a complete introduction of his poetic talent and imagination power.In laughter there is a flower seeking nectar,The nails are like the rain of the Sikh form.The moonlight of Keshani reduced the marital love,Damini’s lusciousness is the only thing that can be seen.The nectar of the waves of water flows from the pole of interest,It seems as if she is a granddaughter of natural adornment.Very carefree dear Bhushit Bhushan Binu,Every moment there is light in the other body.
