Six Gosvamis of Vrindavan The six Gosvamis of Vrindavana were selected by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu to reestablish the places of pilgrimage in Vrindavana. These six Gosvamis were bona fide spiritual masters situated on the highest platform of devotional service to God, and for that reason they were called Gosvamis, or “controller of the senses.” They were Sanatana Gosvami, Rupa Gosvami, Raghunatha Dasa Gosvami, Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, Jiva Gosvami, and Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami. Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami first came to Vrindavana in 1515 to uncover the lost places of Krishna’s pastimes. These six Gosvamis were associates of Krishna in Dwapara Yuga. Rupa Gosvami was Rupa Manjari, Sanatana Gosvami was Labanga Manjari, Jiva Gosvami was Vilas Manjari, Raghunatha Bhatta was Rati Manjari, Raghunatha Dasa was Rasa Manjari, and Gopala Bhatta was Guna or Ananga Manjari.
