Tota Gopinatha is the name of the Krishna statue at the Tota Gopinatha Temple in Puri.
According to some legends, Chaitanya merged with this statue and simply disappeared at the end of his earthly life (according to Gaudiya Vaishnavism, Chaitanya was a double incarnation of Krishna and Radha).
Chaitanya´s companion Gadadhara Pandita was so shocked by the god-man-woman´s disappearence that he became paralyzed, at which point the Krishna statue miraculously "sat down" so Gadadhara could continue doing puja to it...
