Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, him whose mind is stayed on thee. Isaiah 26:3

The Final Lesson Socrates to his Disciples

The Final Supper

Sukadeva Goswami to Maharaja Pariksit with Seven days to live.

Rupa Goswami

Srila Rupa Goswami and his followers dominated the world of 16 th Century Indian metaphysics. He was a member of the highly elevated sarasvat brahman community. Along with his brothers he became Prime Minister of Bengal under the government of the Muslim conquerer, Nawab Hussain Shah.

There is no place in the world now as rich as Bengal was at that time: Silk, Gold, Jewels, Spices, Medical and Political Science, Architecture.

They were the masters of all these things, but still they were not happy. So, they left it all to become reununciants and followers of the great Bengali Monk and Saint, Sri Krishna Caitanya.

Caitanya Mahaprabhu was preaching ecstatic Congregational chanting of the Names of God as the most excellent method of meditation in this current age of Kali. He not only preached this process with philosophical logic but also demonstrated it as He traveled all over India chanting and dancing in emotional love of God. He then empowered Rupa Goswami to explain this culture on the basis of Vedic scripture.

Srila Rupa Goswami wrote over 11,000 verses in 18-major works and presented a summary of everything in 11-verses, his Sri Upadesamrta, the essence of all wisdom. tantan-nāma-rūpa-caritādi-sukīrtanānu-nāmarūpa smṛtyoḥ krameṇa rasanā-manasī niyojyakrameṇarasanāmanasīniyojya tiṣṭhantiṣṭhan vraje tad-anurāgi janānugāmīvrajetadanurāgi kālaḿkālaḿ nayed akhilam ity upadeśa-sāramakhilamupadeśasāram TRANSLATION The essence of all advice is that one should utilize one's full time — twenty-four hours a day — in nicely chanting and remembering the Lord's divine name, transcendental form, qualities and eternal pastimes, thereby gradually engaging one's tongue and mind. In this way one should reside in Vraja [Goloka Vṛndāvana dhāma] and serve Kṛṣṇa under the guidance of devotees. One should follow in the footsteps of the Lord's beloved devotees, who are deeply attached to His devotional service.VrajaGolokaVṛndāvanadhāma Kṛṣṇa
