The Six Goswamis are the principal assistants of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who were instructed by Him to unveil spots of pastimes of Divine Couple in Vrindavan to the world, and also write and preach about the science of devotional life to embark conditioned souls like us on the journey back to home, back to Godhead, Sri Nitya Goloka Vrindavan.
In eternal Goloka Pastimes of the Divine Couple, the Six Goswamis are part of Astamanjaris, or eight principal maidservants (manjaris) of the Divine Couple. The other two apart from Six Goswamis in Astamanjaris are Srila Loknath Goswami and Srila Krishnadas Kaviraj Goswami (author of Sri Chaitanya Caritamrta).
Srila Prabhupada and Aindra Prabhu often emphasise that devotees must take shelter of Six Goswamis to embrace pure unalloyed loving devotional service.
