temple constructed
At first Rupa Goswami felt great difficulty carrying out the desire of Lord Chaitanya. But one day, while Rupa was sitting on the bank of the Yamuna River contemplating his mission, a beautiful boy came to him and asked the cause of his despondency. Rupa Goswami explained. The boy then led him to a small hill. “Inside this hill,” said the boy, “is the beautiful Deity Govinda deva.” He said that the Deity had been buried to protect Him during a Muslim invasion. The next day Rupa Goswami led a group of villagers to the site and had them excavate the hill. The Deity Govinda was unearthed. Rupa Goswami then had a magnificent temple constructed under the patronage of Emperor Akbar and Maharaja Man Singh of Amber, Rajasthan. Shri Govinda Deva is presently being worshipped at Jaipur, Rajasthan.[3]
Death
Rupa Goswami fulfilled all four parts of the mission given to him by Lord Chaitanya, including writing many books on Krishna consciousness. He passed away in 1564. Devotees pay respects to him by visiting his samadhi (tomb), in the courtyard of the Radha-Damodara temple in Vrindavan.
