Asked Lord Siva for money for marriage of daughter
Lord Siva appeared in his dream
Told to see his dear Sanatana Goswami in Vrindavan

Vrindavan was far away

Walked for weeks and reached
Who is Sanatana Goswami?
Must be a king or a rich man !
Who is Sanatana Goswami?
•
•
•
One of 6 Goswamis of Maha Prabhu
Pure Devotee of Lord Krishna
Deity Madana Mohana (self manifested)
Madan Mohan Temple
•
•
•
•
Also worshipped Lord Siva. Why?
Lord Siva is the ‘first & topmost’ devotee of Lord Krishna
“Vaishnavanam Yatha Sampu” (Bhagavatam Canto-4)
Worshipping Pure devotee is superior than worshipping the Lord !
•
•
Brahmin arrived
Villagers pointed to the hut
•
•
•
Sanatana Goswami told he is a beggar!
Wondered why Lord Siva did this
O, Cintamani that I buried in Yamuna !
Sand -------> Iron ----------> Silver --------> Gold ----------> Diamond ---> Cintamani
• What is Cintamani?
• In Vaikunta mansions are made
of Cintamani !
• How did Sanatan Goswami get it?
• What did he do with it?
• Always witnessing the Leelas
• Krishna, Radhika, Gopies, Gopas
• Sometimes leave ornaments
• And come back to get them …
• Direct mercy from Krishna
• Direct mercy from Radhika
• So many pastimes…!
•
•
•
Cintamani Jewel buried in the sand of Yamuna
Asked the Brahmin to dig… and he found it!
Sanatana Goswami instructed as what to do with it..
•
•
•
Brahmin jumped in Joy !
Collected all kinds of iron utensils from village
And he touched each one….
All turned into GOLD !
GOLD ! GOLD !! GOLD Everywhere !!!
•
•
The brahmin started back to his village..
On the way, he gets a very SERIOUS doubt !
•
Sanatana Goswami must have something
more precious than the Cintamani!
Otherwise why did he throw it away ?
•
•
•
•
“You have something more
precious than this! I want it !”
“Yes! I have the most precious thing in all the worlds..!”
“Why did you return?”
•
The Brahmin returned !
•
“If you want ‘THE GREATEST WEALTH’..
Throw Cintamani back inside Yamuna !
Also throw all the golds you made
Then come with me ! I will give you that ! ”
•
Took the brahmana to the deity…

“Do not go back! Your daughter’s marriage will happen nicely.
You got the mercy of Lord Siva and Lord Krishna!”
Go-koti dānam grahņe khagasya
Prayāga gangodaka kalpa vāsah
Yajñāyutam meru svarna dānam
Govinda kirter na samam śatāmśaih
(Skanda Purana)
One may give 10 million cows in charity at solar eclipse; one may live
in prayaga of Ganga for a kalpa; or one may perform 10,000 yajnas
and give sumeru mountain amount of gold; but these cannot
compare to even 1/100 of benefit from chanting Govinda’s name.
