Sanatana Gosvami
Sri Sanatana Gosvami appeared in 1488, five years before Sri Rupa Gosvami, in a Sarasvata brahmana family in Bengal. Sanatana and his two brothers, Rupa and Anupama, were always absorbed in bhava bhakti from early childhood. Remembering Vrndavana, they named the forests in which they played after Vraja's twelve forests (Talavana, Madhuvana, Kamyavana, Mahavana). They called their favorite bathing ponds Radha-kunda and Syama-kunda. Sri Bhaktivinoda Thakura said in Jaiva Dharma: "Sanatana Gosvami was empowered to explain the esoteric aspects of Krishna's manifest and unimanifest Vraja lilas." Sanatana Gosvami made a significant literary contribution to the Gauidya sampradaya with his Hari-bhakti-vilasa, Brhad-Bhagavatamrta, and Brhad- Vaisnava-tosani. In the form of Labanga manjari Sanatana Gosvami serves Srimati Visakha sakhi in Radha-Madhava's nitya nikunja-lila. Sanatana Gosvami's samadhi is behind Radha Madana Mohana's temple
