Disappearance Day of Srila Rupa Goswami

August 13: Today we read from the book, Vaishnava Saints. Reading from the life and pastimes of Srila Rupa Goswami.

Summary: Rupa Goswami is Rupa Manjari, Sanatana Goswami is Ananga Manjari, in the spiritual world. Both are sakhi's of Srimati Radharani. Caitanya Mahaprabhu made Srila Rupa Goswami the acharya for the movement. Thats why we are called Rupanuga's. He was made the head of this movement of Krishna Consciousness. He wrote the books Nectar of Instruction, Nectar of Devotion, Lalita Madhava and many more.

Srila Rupa and Sanatana Goswami, they never claim they saw Krishna or Radharani. But they did have intimate dealings with Srimati Radharani. Our parampara is so powerful. The head of the parampara is Srila Rupa Goswami.

All we have to see is when can we please Srila Rupa Goswami. Both of them relinquished their ministerial positions and rendered total service to Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Krishna Consciousness.

There are so many pastimes about Srila Rupa Goswami. He exvacated Sri Govind Deities.

Srila Prabhupada said that on special days like the appearance and disappearance day of Vaishnava Acharya's, it is very very potent. We should meditate on their pastimes and pray for their mercy!
