- After meeting Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in the village of Ramakeli, the brothers Rupa and Sanatana returned to their homes
- After staying in Varanasi for about ten days, Rupa Gosvami returned to Bengal. In this way I (Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami) have described the activities of Rupa and Sanatana
- After this, the Lord embraced both of them (Rupa and Sanatana) and requested all of the devotees present to be merciful upon them and deliver them

- All glories to Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami, Jiva Gosvami, Raghunatha dasa Gosvami, Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami and Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, the six Gosvamis of Vrndavana! They are all my masters
- All glory, all glory to the merciful Lord Nityananda, by whose mercy I have attained shelter at the lotus feet of Sri Rupa and Sri Sanatana
- All the six Gosvamis, they used to sit down and discuss Srimad-Bhagavatam. Gopala Bhatta Gosvami was reading, and all the other Gosvamis, Rupa, Sanatana, they were hearing, and Jiva Gosvami was writing comment
- All the Vaisnavas, they are expert. Just like Rupa, Sanatana, expert managment, even in worldly affairs. Not that "I am so much big devotee that I cannot manage worldly affairs." Expert. Must be expert
- Although the King is respectful toward You, he still belongs to the yavana class and should not be believed. We (Rupa and Sanatana) think that there is no need for such a great crowd to accompany You on Your pilgrimage to Vrndavana
- Although the two brothers, Rupa and Sanatana (at that time Dabira Khasa and Sakara Mallika), presented themselves as being born in a low family, they nonetheless belonged to a most respectable brahmana family that was originally from Karnata

- Before doing so (giving up life by jumping from Govardhana Hill in Vrndavana) he (Raghunatha dasa Gosvami) wanted to see the lotus feet of Srila Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami
- Before his retirement, Rupa Gosvami divided his money in this way, although later, when his brother Sanatana Gosvami, another great devotee, was arrested, Rupa Gosvami spent everything. This is full surrender

- I pray to the lotus feet of the six Gosvamis - Sri Rupa, Sanatana, Bhatta Raghunatha, Sri Jiva, Gopala Bhatta and Dasa Raghunatha - so that all impediments to my writing this literature will be annihilated and my real desire will be fulfilled
- If anyone wants to be expert in Krsna consciousness to fight with maya, they must follow the principles of Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami
- If it is interpreted to mean Sanatana Gosvami, then it is because he is so greatly favored by Rupa Gosvami, being always served by him, and because he is the annihilator of all kinds of sinful activities
- In accordance with the directions of the revealed scriptures, both Gosvamis (Rupa and Sanatana) excavated the lost places of pilgrimage and inaugurated the worship of Deities in Vrndavana
- In accordance with the instructions of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the two brothers, Rupa & Sanatana, immediately touched the lotus feet of these Vaisnavas, who all became very happy and congratulated the two brothers for having received the mercy of the Lord
- In Maldah there was a village named Ramakeli, where two government ministers of the Nawab Hussain Shah's regime lived. These two ministers were named Dabira Khasa and Sakara Mallika, and they were later to be renamed Sanatana Gosvami and Rupa Gosvami
- In Prayaga I (Rupa Gosvami) heard that he (Sanatana Gosvami) had already gone to Vrndavana. Rupa Gosvami next informed the Lord about the death of Anupama
- In the lives of the great devotees Sanatana Gosvami and Rupa Gosvami, we see that they did not sleep more than one and a half hours a day, and they were reluctant even to accept that. So sleeping is also restricted
- In the modern age the title gosvami is used by a caste of grhasthas, but formerly it was not. Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami, for example, were called gosvami because they were in the renounced order
- In this second division of Bhakti-rasamrta-sindhu the author offers his respectful obeisances unto "Sanatana." This Sanatana can be interpreted as either Sri Krsna Himself or as Sanatana Gosvami, the elder brother and spiritual master of Rupa Gosvami
- In those days, the Hindus were so strict that if a brahmana accepted service from a non-Hindu, he was immediately ostracized from Hindu society. Despite this, Rupa and Sanatana Gosvamis were made principle authorities in the science of Krsna by Mahaprabhu
- In Vrndavana the six Gosvamis inaugurated the bhakti cult by the instruction of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Caitanya sent His different devotees in different parts of India. And of course He desired that His devotees should go all the parts of the world
- Indeed, we (Rupa and Sanatana) are like a dwarf who wants to capture the moon. Although we are completely unfit, a desire to receive Your (Caitanya's) mercy is awakening within our minds
- It appears that Rupa Gosvami got permission to join Lord Caitanya, but Sanatana Gosvami did not. Therefore Sanatana Gosvami entrusted the responsibilities of his government service to his immediate assistants & he remained home to study Srimad-Bhagavatam
- It is better to accept food offered to Krsna in the temple than to try to imitate (of doing madhukari of) Sanatana Gosvami and Rupa Gosvami
- It is said about them (Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami): tyaktva turnam asesa-mandala-pati-srenim sada tuccha-vat bhutva dina-ganesakau karunaya kaupina-kanthasritau
- It is very good that you two brothers (Rupa and Sanatana) have come to see Me. Now you can go home. Do not fear anything
K
- Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami ends every chapter with this verse: Praying at the lotus feet of Sri Rupa and Sri Raghunatha, always desiring their mercy, I, Krsnadasa, narrate Sri Caitanya-caritamrta, following in their footsteps
- Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami, in the last section of the CC, mentions the names of Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami and Srila Jiva Gosvami and offers his respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of these three spiritual masters, as well as Raghunatha dasa
L
- Let us (Rupa & Sanatana) submit one piece of information before You, dear God. It is not at all false but is full of meaning. It is this: If You are not merciful upon us, then it will be very, very difficult to find more suitable candidates for Your mercy
- Let us (Rupa and Sanatana) speak one word that is very true. Plainly hear us, O merciful one (Caitanya). There is no other object of mercy within the three worlds but us
- Lord Caitanya desired the two brothers, Sanatana Gosvami and Rupa Gosvami, to publish many books in support of the Vaisnava religion. When Sanatana Gosvami met Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Lord advised him also to go to Vrndavana
- Lord Caitanya dispatched the two generals Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami to Vrndavana to preach the bhakti cult
- Lord Caitanya's direct disciples, Gosvamis, Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami, they also, the same disciplic succession, they also worship Krsna in that separation feeling

M
- Many acaryas, such as Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami, used to live beneath trees every night. Superficially it appeared that they were poverty-stricken, but from their writings we can understand that in spiritual life they were richest personalities

- Ten thousand coins were deposited for expenditures incurred by his (Rupa Gosvami's) elder brother, Sanatana Gosvami
- That is a very lucrative business (taking large crowds of men to the different places of pilgrimage & collecting money from them), but Rupa & Sanatana Gosvamis, expressing their opinion in the presence of Caitanya, disapproved of such crowded pilgrimages
- The 1st accusation (of 3 sahajiyas level accusations against Srila Jiva Gosvami) concerns a materialist who was very proud of his reputation as a great Sanskrit scholar and approached Sri Rupa and Sanatana to argue with them about the revealed scriptures
- The 6 Gosvamis - Sri Sanatana Gosvami, Sri Rupa Gosvami, Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami - are very expert in scrutinizingly studying all the revealed scriptures with the purpose of establishing eternal religious principles for the benefit of all human beings

- The mission of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, His desire, was preached by Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami. And we are also following in their footsteps and preaching the same message
- The most important, because they (five thousand temples) were established by the Gosvamis - Rupa, Sanatana, Bhatta Raghunatha, Sri Jiva, Gopala Bhatta, Dasa Raghunatha - the six Gosvamis, direct disciple of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu
- The people in general on the western side of India were neither intelligent nor well behaved, but by the influence of Srila Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami they were trained in devotional service and good behavior
- The place where Sri Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami formerly lived has now become a place of pilgrimage. It is generally known as Gupta Vrndavana, or hidden Vrndavana, and is situated about eight miles south of English Bazaar
- The principles of devotional service are only apparently under the jurisdiction of material activity. To be rightly guided, one must be personally guided by Caitanya Mahaprabhu. This was the case with Srila Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami & other acaryas
- The six Gosvamis were headed by Srila Rupa Gosvami, who was followed by Srila Sanatana, Bhatta Raghunatha, Srila Jiva, Gopala Bhatta, & Raghunatha dasa Gosvami. They were all seriously engaged in research and excavation of the mystery of Vrndavana-dhama

- There (Naihati, in Bengal) he (Padmanabha) had five sons, of whom the youngest, Mukunda, had a well-behaved son named Kumaradeva, who was the father of Rupa, Sanatana and Vallabha
- There are many sahajiyas who decry the activities of the six Gosvamis - Srila Rupa, Sanatana, Raghunatha dasa, Bhatta Raghunatha, Jiva and Gopala Bhatta Gosvamis
- There are other, six important direct disciples (of Caitanya), just like Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami. Now, these gentlemen were formerly known as Sakara Mallika and Dabira Khasa
- There are those who take the caste gosvamis’ opinions of such parties as bona fide, comparing these opinions to those of the six Gosvamis, headed by Sri Rupa and Sri Sanatana. This is simply another cheating process
- There is a nice story about Sanatana Gosvami, of whom we are now studying. Sanatana Gosvami and Rupa Gosvami, two brothers, they went to Vrndavana for devotional service
- There were six great Gosvamis of Vrndavana - Srila Rupa, Sanatana, Bhatta Raghunatha, Sri Jiva, Gopala Bhatta and Dasa Raghunatha - and none of them inherited the title of gosvami
- These three - Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami and Jiva Gosvami - are my spiritual masters, and so also is Raghunatha dasa Gosvami. I (Krsnadasa Kaviraja Gosvami) therefore offer prayers at their lotus feet, for I am their servant
- These two brothers (Rupa and Sanatana), however, did not allow him (Raghunatha dasa Gosvami) to die. They accepted him as their third brother and kept him in their company
- They (Rupa and Sanatana) actually belonged to the brahmana caste. Unfortunately, because of being associated with the Muslim governmental service, their customs and behavior resembled those of the Muslims. Therefore they presented themselves as nica-jati
- They (Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami) resigned from the service and joined Caitanya Mahaprabhu's movement. That is the history. All the direct disciples of Caitanya Mahaprabhu, they were very big personalities
- They (Rupa Govami and Sanatana Gosvami) did not live even two nights under the same tree, and what to speak of well-furnished rooms with modern amenities. And still they were able to give us most important literatures of self-realization
- They (Sanatana and Rupa Gosvami) resigned the high post of ministership and joined Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu for pushing on and on this Krsna consciousness movement
- They (Sanatana Gosvami & Rupa Gosvami) are not accepted in the society. They changed their name, Sakara Mallika and Dabira Khasa. But Caitanya Mahaprabhu picked them up and made them gosvamins. Gosvamins means they are great teachers, guru
- They (Srila Rupa and Sanatana Gosvami) have put it so nicely that even a rascal or first-class fool can be delivered by devotional service under the guidance of the Gosvamis
- They (Srila Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami) became like Mohammedans and even changed their names
- They (Srila Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami) not only wrote books but chanted, danced, discussed Krsna and remembered Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s pastimes. Thus they executed devotional service
- They (Srila Rupa Gosvami and Srila Sanatana Gosvami) had even changed their names to Dabira Khasa and Sakara Mallika. Thus they had supposedly been expelled from brahmana society
- This (CC Madhya 1.220) behavior is indicative of real Vaisnavas. When they saw that Rupa and Sanatana were fortunate enough to receive the mercy of the Lord, they were so pleased that they all congratulated the two brothers
- This (CC Madhya 16.214-215) information (on Caitanya Mahaprabhu's meeting the brothers Rupa and Sanatana and how Nrsimhananda) is given in Adi-lila 10.35 and Madhya-lila 1.155-162 and 175-226
- This Krsna consciousness means it is declaration of fighting with maya. Maya is killing all the poor conditioned souls, and Caitanya Mahaprabhu declared war against maya by spreading Krsna consciousness. And the commander-in-chiefs are Rupa-Sanatana
- This Krsna consciousness movement continues the tradition of the Six Gosvamis, especially Srila Sanatana Gosvami and Srila Rupa Gosvami
- This science one has to learn from the authorities: Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami and others. Then it is possible to understand what is loving affairs of Radha-Krsna
- This was also the occupational duty of Sanatana Gosvami, Rupa Gosvami and Anupama Gosvami - to broadcast the cult of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and to fight with impersonalists and voidists
- Those narrations tell how Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu met the brothers Rupa and Sanatana and how Nrsimhananda decorated the road. I (Krsnadasa) have already described these in an earlier synopsis of this book; therefore I will not repeat the narrations here
- Thus Srila Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami and their nephew Srila Jiva Gosvami, as well as practically all of their family members, lived in Vrndavana and published important books on devotional service
- To avoid turmoil, three great personalities - Haridasa Thakura, Srila Rupa Gosvami and Srila Sanatana Gosvami - did not enter the temple of Jagannatha
- To avoid unnecessary turmoil these great personalities (Srila Haridasa Thakura, Srila Rupa Gosvami and Srila Sanatana Gosvami) would not enter the Jagannatha temple
- To enunciate explicitly those transcendental pastimes, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu empowered Srila Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami with the nectar of His mercy to carry out this work in Vrndavana
U
- Under the instruction of Srila Rupa and Sanatana, Gopala Bhatta Gosvami installed one of the seven principal Deities of Vrndavana, the Radharamana Deity. The sevaits (priests) of the Radharamana temple belong to the Gaudiya-sampradaya

- Upon learning that his elder brother (Sanatana) had been arrested by the Nawab, Rupa Gosvami sent information that ten thousand coins were being held in the custody of a grocer in Gauda (Bengal) and that this money could be used as ransom for his brother
- Upon making this decision (to retire from government service and join Lord Caitanya's sankirtana movement), the two brothers (Sanatana Gosvami and Rupa Gosvami) at once took steps to leave their material engagements
- Upon receiving this message from his two messengers, Rupa Gosvami immediately wrote a letter to Sanatana Gosvami saying that Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu had departed for Vrndavana
W
- We (Rupa and Sanatana) are the most fallen; therefore by showing us Your (Caitanya's) mercy, Your mercy is most successful. Let the power of Your mercy be exhibited throughout the entire universe
- We (Rupa and Sanatana) belong to the caste of meat-eaters because we are servants of meat-eaters. Indeed, our activities are exactly like those of the meat-eaters. Because we always associate with such people, we are inimical toward the cows and brahmanas
- We (Rupa and Sanatana) two are millions and millions of times inferior to Jagai and Madhai. We are more degraded, fallen and sinful than they
- We have already given the names of four books compiled by Sanatana Gosvami. Similarly, Srila Rupa Gosvami has also compiled many books, which no one can even count
- When all of the devotees saw the mercy of the Lord (Caitanya) upon the two brothers (Rupa and Sanatana), they were very much gladdened, and they began to chant the holy name of the Lord, "Hari! Hari"
- When Caitanya was later informed that Gopala Bhatta Gosvami had gone to Vrndavana and met Sri Rupa and Sanatana Gosvami, He was very pleased, & He advised Sri Rupa and Sanatana to accept Gopala Bhatta Gosvami as their younger brother and take care of him

- When Rupa Gosvami left home, he wrote a note for Sanatana Gosvami informing him of some money that he had entrusted to a local grocer. Sanatana Gosvami took advantage of this money to bribe the jail keeper and get free from detention
- When Sanatana Gosvami came to Mathura he was informed of the visit of Rupa Gosvami and Anupama by Subuddhi Raya
- When Sanatana Gosvami met Subuddhi Raya at Mathura, Subuddhi Raya explained everything about his younger brothers Rupa Gosvami and Anupama
- When Sanatana Gosvami received this note from Rupa Gosvami, he became very pleased. He immediately went to the jail superintendent, who was a meat-eater, and spoke as follows
- When Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu inquired about Sanatana Gosvami, Rupa Gosvami replied, "I did not meet him"
- When the personal associates of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu would hear of the activities of Rupa and Sanatana Gosvamis, they would say, "What is wonderful for a person who has been granted the Lord's mercy"
- When the two brothers Srila Rupa Gosvami and Sanatana Gosvami went to Vrndavana, they decided to live there. Following Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu’s example, they did not climb the hill because they considered it nondifferent from Krsna, the SP of Godhead
- Where has the Mathura-puri of Yadupati gone? Where has the Northern Kosala of Raghupati gone? By reflection, make the mind steady, thinking, ‘This universe is not eternal - the note written by Srila Rupa Gosvami to Sanatana Gosvami from Bakla
- While Rupa Gosvami was staying at Varanasi, he resided at the house of Candrasekhara and took prasadam at the house of Tapana Misra. In this way he heard of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu's instructions to Sanatana Gosvami in Varanasi
- With great difficulty I (Caitanya) went to the town of Ramakeli, where I met two brothers named Rupa and Sanatana
