A [[Telugu Brahmin]] from [[Srirangam]], Prabodhananda formerly followed [[Sri Vaishnavism]] but was 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 Goswami|Gopal Bhatta]], priest of [[Srirangam]].<ref name = Brzezinski1992/> 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]]''.<ref name = Brzezinski1992/> The dialog of this conversion is recorded in ''[[Chaitanya Charitamrita]]'', the 16th-century biography of Chaitanya by [[Krishna dasa Kaviraja]].<br />
<br />
Sometime after his conversion, Prabodhananda composed a text in praise of the sacred land of [[Krishna]]'s birth, [[Vrindavan]], ''Sri Vrndavana Mahimamrta''.<br />
