  • Jiva Goswami Bhajana-kutira

    Rajashekhara Dasa

    From the book “Chaurasi-kosa Vraja Mandala Parikrama”:

    This is where Shrila Jiva Goswami performed his bhajana whenever he came to visit Radha-kunda. Jiva Goswami was given the responsibility for the well-being of Raghunatha Dasa on behalf of his uncles Rupa and Sanatana. Although it was Raghunatha Dasa who who first proposed the idea of excavating Radha-kunda ans Shyama-kunda, it was Jiva Goswami who managed all the affairs because Raghunatha Dasa was so deeply absorbed in bhajana, it was felt he could not be burdened with all the day-to-day details, although he was involved in the basic planning and development. Therefore when Raghunatha Dasa Goswami suddenly received a very handsome donation from the wealthy merchant Samarpana, he immediately called Jiva Goswami to come from Vrindavana and oversee the excavation work on the sacred kundas.
