Sadhana Dipika :: Radhakrishna Dasa Gosvamin
Download
Description
Download Sādhana Dīpika This is a useful Gaudiya text from the early 17th century. Radha Krishna Goswami was the mahanta of the Govindaji temple in Vrindavan, and there is some important historical information in this work. There appear to be many original verses sprinkled throughout it, some of which are either incomplete or corrupt. Some verses are likely quotes, but I haven’t been able to trace them. I have used Haridas Shastri’s edition (Vrindavan Kalidaha, undated), and have not had access to another. It would be worth finding other manuscripts in order to produce a true critical, or at least more correct edition. Updated a few things (2004-05-22) Source texts

Little is known about Radhakrishna Goswami the author of Sadhana Dipika and Dasasloki Bhashya other than that he was a disciple of Haridas Goswami (named in the Chaitanya Charitamrita) and his successor as the head priest of the Govindaji temple in Vrindavan. Initiated in the line of Gadadhar Pandit, he glorified him as an incarnation of Radha.
