Srila Jiva Goswami Receiving The Mercy Of Srila Rupa Goswami

Radhanath Swami

Krishna Consciousness is not so cheap. But ofcourse in Kaliyuga even the most priceless things are taken very cheaply. But they gave real dignity to the priceless value of Krishna Consciousness. And they extracted from all the great Vedic literatures the essence, which is pure, unalloyed, unmotivated loving service to Radha and Krsna in Vrindavan and of all the Goswami’s Jiva Goswami was the most celebrated writer. He wrote so many books. Srila Prabhupada explained that the Vaishnava philosophers are the greatest philosophers in the world. And of all philosophers, Jiva Goswami is by far the greatest philosophers that ever lived. Through logic, through argument and through complete scriptural backing he has established the most high and sublime points which lead one to pure devotion to the Lord. Through the Ñaò Sandarbha, the greatest philosophical works where everything is so scrutinizing explain with such authority. Srila Rupa Goswami was personally worshiping beautiful small deities of Radha Damodar some people say that he carved those deities out of stones with his own hands. Anyways out of love for his dear disciple, Rupa Goswami gave the murti’s of Radha Damodar to Jiva Goswami. Jaya rädhä-dämodara rädhä-dämodara rädhe jév goswämér präëa-dhana he They became his life and soul.
