PASTIMES OF GREAT ACHARYA - 1

As soon as the name Sanatana Goswami comes in mind one remembers Sri Sri Radha Madanmohan mandir in Vrndavana one of the important temples in Vrndavana and the glories of Srila Sanatana Goswami in his worship to the
Madanmohan. Srila Sanatana Goswami was a minister under the Nawab of Bengal and he left everything and escaped and went to Benares where he surrendered to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.. First, thing he said was though people consider me knowledgeable I do not even know who am I? Than next day he shaved up traded his new blanket with a washerman and got old clothes and took instructions under Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.
Than following instructions of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu he went to Vrndavana. Once he visited a Mathura and went to see a Choube and he was surprised that in the Choube's courtyard Sri Madanmohan was playing with the children and Choube was not taking proper care and attention for Him...seeing this Sanatana Goswami advised the Choube to do proper deity worship of Madanmohan and than he left.. from next day Sri Madanmohan started getting formal treatment in form of deity worship by the Choube..by this Sri Madanmohan became dissatisfied and mentioned to Choube in his dream that now He no longer wants to stay here and next day when Sanatana Goswami comes again Choube should give Him to Sanatana Goswami for taking care of Him.. When Sanatana Goswami was requested the next day he denied initially as he was a Sannyasi and could not take proper care of Him but than Sri Madanmohan had insisted that whatever he will offer He will honor..Sanatana Goswami than took Sri Madanmohan to Vrndavan and started offering Him chapatti without salt and ghee..as most of the time he spend in escavating the pastimes of Vrndavana and writing... One day Sri Madanmohan while sitting on a tree while Sanatana Goswami was writing asked him that how come he is not putting even salt in the chappati? Sanatana Goswami replied where is he going to get salt and to try to search for salt will hamper the work which he has undertaken..
Next day a Sindhi wealthy merchant was sailing with a ship filled with salt in the Jamuna and his ship got stuck.. He came to the shore and was worried that how will he reach the destination and sell the salt? To get a solution he went to Sanatana Goswami who guided him to go to Sri Madanmohan who inspired him that his ship is not at all stuck..when the merchant went back to the shore his ship was sailing... Seeing this mystic potency he went fast to sell the salt and came back with the laxmi to Sanatana Goswami who inspired him to build a temple for Sri Madanmohan...Sri Sri Radha Madanmohan ki Jai!
