Rupa Goswami Free downloads: Rupa Goswami Biography: According to tradition, Kumardev and Revatidevi had one daughter and five sons. Of these children, Sanatan, Rupa (1489-1564), and Ballabha were known as pure devotees. Download buku prosedur penelitian arikunto 2006 pdf. Amigaos 3.9 adf scanning software. Their prestigious Saraswati Brahman ancestry had originally hailed from Karnataka, in South India, but Kumardev moved to Bakla-chandradvip (modern Barisal), near Ramasharai, in the Jessore district of East Bengal. This is where the three pious boys were raised. Scholars assert that Rupa and Sanatan were known in those days as Amara and Santosh, respectively.
The names “Rupa” and “Sanatan” were given to them much later by Shri Chaitanya. When they first met the Master, Rupa and Sanatan were working for the Muslim occupational government of Bengal under Nawab Hussein Shah, the then Emperor of Gauda. At that time, they were given the Persian titles Dabir Khas (“private secretary”) and Sakara Malik (“revenue officer”), and they enjoyed great wealth and prestige as political leaders in a growing regime. Nonetheless, they were avid students of scripture and never forgot the lotus feet of the Lord.
They were renowned throughout India for their vast learning and intense devotion, even before they met Shri Chaitanya. Rupa had already written several books on Vedic philosophy, including his now famous Hamsadutta, and Sanatan used to regularly recite Shrimad Bhagavatam, with tears of ecstasy, for all who would listen.
Thus, an obvious question arises: Why would these two spiritually-minded brothers invest any of their valuable time in a mundane political career? According to the Bhakti-ratnakara, they were conscripted into their governmental duties by Nawab Hussein Shah, who threatened them with physical expulsion as well as the murder of pious devotees. He had heard how much Rupa and Sanatan were loved by the common people and how they were known as raja-shishta (“the kings of learning”) due to their unprecedented proficiency in all scriptural knowledge.
“If I could coerce them into my service,” the Nawab reasoned, “then I could more successfully win the support of the mass of people.” To this end, the Nawab threatened to wreak havoc in the brahminical community. Fully confident that the power-hungry Nawab would indeed carry out his nefarious plan, Dabir Khas and Sakara Malik were virtually blackmailed into working under his Muslim rule. It is specifically described that because they had “fear of the uncivilized ruler” (mleccha-bhoya), they complied with his wishes. It should be understood, however, that their fear was not self-motivated. Bhakti-ratnakara clearly asserts that they were more concerned about the Nawab’s threat of causing harm to the society of Vaishnavas. If they disobeyed, the repercussions would be horrendous. Consequently, they were forced to accept service under Hussein Shah.
The Nawab, delighted by this conquest, bestowed great riches upon the two brothers as they dutifully performed their service. Kumardev, their father, prayed for them, but deep within he knew that they were great devotees and that Krishna must have some plan. Dabir Khas and Sakara Malik themselves were concerned about their newfound occupations, and they corresponded with Shri Chaitanya, hoping that He would one day give them His association and that He might, perhaps, be able to resolve their dilemma. Temporarily resigning themselves to their fate, they settled in Ramakeli, a village some eighteen miles southeast of Malda (in the Rajashahi district of northern Bengal). There they used their vast wealth to construct a replica of Shri Krishna’s abode — a “Hidden (gupta) Vrindavan” — complete with elaborate bathing places and constant readings about the pastimes of the Lord. In this way, they sought to alleviate their “sentence” of governmental employment. As they studied and conveyed the scriptures to their Muslim colleagues, the two brothers became proficient in Sanskrit, Arabic, Persian, as well as in other local dialects.
It is said that they studied Sanskrit under the renowned Sarvananda Vidya-Vachaspati (Sarva-bhauma Bhattacharya’s brother) and that their knowledge of Arabic and Persian was acquired with the help of Syed Fakirud-Din, a reputed scholar and landowner in Saptagram. In this way, they spent their time in Ramakeli while externally (if also competently) carrying out state affairs. Once, when Shri Chaitanya decided to go to Vrindavan (in 1514), He stopped at Ramakeli specifically to meet Dabir Khas and Sakara Malik.
