RAGHUNATHA DASA GOSVAMI, one of the six Gosvamis, at a young
age renounced his beautiful wife and opulent home to join Lord
Caitanya and His sankirtana movement. For sixteen years, he was
the personal assistant of Lord Caitanya's secretary, Svarupa
Damodara. Along with Svarupa Damodara, he witnessed Lord
Caitanya's last days on earth. After the Lord's disappearance he
went to Vrndavana, where he lived austerely, absorbed in
devotion, in the company of Srila Rupa Gosvami and Srila
Sanatana Gosvami.
