ŚRĪ RŪPA GOSVĀMĪ
1489–1564 AD
Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī was taught directly by Śrī Caitanya and is the authoritative teacher of abhidheya-jñāna , knowledge of the process of attaining the Supreme. He is one of the most important Ācāryas of our lineage. In his honor, our disciplic succession is also called Rūpānūga-sampradāya. One of his most important books is Śrī Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu, which precisely defines devotion to the Supreme Lord and classifies it into various categories.
śrī-caitanya-mano 'bhīṣṭaṁsthāpitaṁ yena bhūtale
svayaṁ rūpaḥ kadā mahyaṁdadāti sva-padāntikam
When will Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī, who made possible the fulfillment of the heart's desires of Śrī Caitanya in this world, give me shelter at His feet?— Śrī Prema-bhakti-candrikā 2
