Therefore the Absolute Personality of Godhead, out of His
limitless and causeless mercy, descends from the spiritual king-
dom and displays His personal pastimes at Vrndavana, the replica
of the Krsnaloka planet in the spiritual sky. Vrndavana is the most
sacred place within this cosmic universe, and people seeking to
achieve spiritual emancipation by entering the kingdom of God
may make a home at Vrndavana and become serious students of
the six Gosvamis who were instructed by Lord Sn Caitanya
Mahaprabhu. The six Gosvamis were headed by Srila Rapa Go-
svami who was followed by Srila Sanatana, Bhatta Ragunatha,
Srila Jiva Gosvam?, Gopala Bhatta, and Srila Ragunatha dasa
Gosvami. They were all seriously engaged in research and ex-
cavation of the mystery of Vrndavana dhama.

Lord Sri Krsna, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, appeared
at Vrndavana about five thousand years ago, and the relics of His
appearance at Vrndavana were lost from view. But Lord Sr
Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is the very same Lord Sri Krsna in the
form of a great devotee, appeared at Navadvipa, a district in West
Bengal, and excavated the holy places of Lord Sri Krsna’s tran-
scendental pastimes. He instructed the above-mentioned six Go-
svamis to compose authorized literature on the cult of Vrndavana,
and any serious student anxious to know about the Supreme Lord
may take advantage of this invaluable literature and the guidance
of authorized scholars and thus know about the Lord of
Vrndavana, Sri Krsna, the Personality of Godhead.=
