and Srila Sanatana Gosvami

Srila Sanatana Gosvami was the principal disciple of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and is one of the Six Gosvamis of Vrindavana. Sanatana Gosvami (or Santosha as he was named at birth), appeared in Jessore in Bangladesh in 1488 as the son of Mukunda, the private secretary of the Sultan of Bengal, Jalaluddin Fateh Shah. He was the eldest son of Mukunda, and his younger brothers were Amara (Rupa Gosvami) and Vallabha (Anupama). Sri Caitanya Caritamrta Adi lila 10.84 states that Sri Sanatana and Sri Rupa were the 43rd and 44th branches of Caitanya tree and were the best of all.
