Life & Pastimes

Srila Rupa Goswami was directly commissioned by Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu at Prayagraj (Dasaswamedha Ghat) to excavate the lost holy places of Vrindavan Dham, establish the worship of Sri Radha-Govindadeva, and codify the science of devotional mellows (bhakti-rasa) for all future generations.

Teachings & Siddhanta

Formulated the definitive science of pure devotional service (uttama-bhakti), establishing that love of Godhead develops through sequential stages: sraddha, sadhu-sanga, bhajana-kriya, anartha-nivritti, nistha, ruci, asakti, bhava, and prema.
