Dear Devotees,
All glories to our beloved Srila Prabhupada.
I have a question in submitting mood, not in challenging mood. I am practicing Krsna consciousness for some years. I am a neophyte. I have been raised in a normal spritual family. I have heard of six about the six Goswamis of Vrindavan and I know that they were the best of pure devotees. But since my childhood I have also heard of other Goswamis like Tulsi das goswami, kabir das, Raheem ji, n etc who have written many dohe and have worshipped the lord other than Krsna. Like Tulsi das goswami was the devotee of Hanuman ji and also he wrote Hanuman Chalisa. So who were these goswamis and why were they worshipped other forms or demigod instead of Supreme personality, krsna. I really want to know the detailed answer if possible pls give me the answer.
Thank you
your servent
Rohit

Srila Prabhupada told that Tulsidas had impersonal view on Lord Rama. He worshiped Lord Rama to become Him.
So we do not accept that.
We worship God to become His servant.
Since Kabir ji follows Tulsi das we do not accept him also.
There are 4 authorized Sampradayas. And in all those 4 lines there were and are saintly people.
But since we are Rupanugas in Brahma Gaudiya Madhava Sampradaya we follow rules and regulations of those acharyas coming from this line.
So they explain us not to waste time for Demigod worship, because life is short, plus they are 33 mln no capacity to please them all.
And tell us to chant Hare Krishna Maha Mantra and that is enough to go to Home - Goloka dham and serve Krishna there.
Your servant,
