Sri Sanatana Goswami
Life & Pastimes
The senior-most of the Six Goswamis, Sanatana Goswami was instructed by Lord Chaitanya in Varanasi for two months on sambandha-tattva (the living entity’s eternal constitutional relationship with Krishna). He discovered and established the deity of Sri Radha Madana-Mohana and performed daily parikrama of Sri Govardhana Hill.
Teachings & Siddhanta
Taught that the conditioned soul must first understand: "Who am I? Why do I suffer the threefold miseries of material life?" and seek shelter at the lotus feet of Sri Madana-Mohana to re-establish eternal relationship with Godhead.
