“Sri Sanatan Sikshamrita” is a significant text in the Gaudiya Vaishnavism tradition, attributed to Srila Sanatana Goswami, one of the six Goswamis of Vrindavan and a prominent disciple of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. The title translates to “The Nectar of Instruction for Sanatana.”

According to tradition, Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu imparted essential teachings to Srila Sanatana Goswami during their meeting at Varanasi (also known as Kashi) on Sanatana Goswami’s journey to Vrindavan. These teachings encompassed the core principles of Sambandha (relationship), Abhidheya (means), and Prayojana (goal) in the devotional path.

The teachings conveyed in “Sri Sanatan Sikshamrita” are considered foundational for practitioners of Gaudiya Vaishnavism, providing guidance on the philosophical understanding of the soul’s relationship with the Supreme Lord (Sambandha), the practical means of devotional service (Abhidheya), and the ultimate goal of spiritual attainment (Prayojana).

This text is highly revered among followers of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s tradition and is studied and meditated upon as a source of spiritual inspiration and guidance. It encapsulates the essence of Sri Chaitanya’s teachings and serves as a manual for aspirants seeking to deepen their understanding and practice of devotional service to Lord Krishna.
