seeing through the eyes of scriptures

the real wealth is Sri Nama Prabhu
Srila Sanatana Goswami had one disciple he was send by Lord Siva himself ,he prayed to Lord Siva for the highest wealth.Srila Sanatana Goswami told him to look in the garbage pile next his temple of Sri sri Radha Madan Mohan there he found a touchstone that makes everything you touch into gold .However when he tested that it indeed turn every object he touched into gold he came back and asked Srila Sanatana Goswami for the highest wealth .Srila Sanatana Goswami told him to throw the touchstone in the Yamuna so from the hill of Dvadasaditya tirth he threw it in Yamuna. Srila Sanatana Goswami then initiated him in the Hare Krsna Mahamantra and asked him to chant 64 rounds daily soon he developed love for Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan so much so he would cry in love for Sri Sri Radha Madan Mohan ,he remained near the lotusfeet of Srila Sanatana Goswami for the rest of his life Srila Narrotama das Thakura has sung:
kaha mora svarupa-rupa, kaha sanatanaMay be an image of Jaya Gaurangi Devi Dasi
kaha dasa raghunatha patita-pavana (2)
2) Where are my Svarupa Damodara and Rupa Gosvami? Where is Sanatana? Where is Raghunatha Dasa, the savior of the fallen?
vairagya-yug-bhakti-rasam prayatnair
apayayan mam anabhipsum andham
kapambudhir yah para-duhkha-duhkhi
sanatanas tam prabhum asrayami
Raghunatha dasa Goswami has glorified Sanatana Goswami in his Vilapa Kusumanjali (6) "I was unwilling to drink the nectar of devotional service possessed of renunciation, but Sanatana Goswami, out of his causeless mercy, made me drink it, even though I was unable to do so. Therefore he is an ocean of mercy. He is very much compassionate to fallen souls like me, and thus it is my duty to offer my respectful obeisances unto his lotus feet and take shelter of him."
Srila Sanatana Goswami is described in Gaura-Ganodesha-Dipika by Sri Kavi Karnapura
(181):
sa rupa-manjari-presiha
purasid rati-manjari
socyate nama-bhedena
lavanga-manjari budhaih
"Rupa Manjari's closest friend, who was known by the names Rati-Manjari and Lavanga Manjari, appeared in the pastimes of Sri Chaitanya mahaprabhu as Sri Sanatana Goswami, who was considered to be a personal extension of the body of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu."

picture is of Sri Krsna giving Sanatana Goswami a Govardhana sila with His lotusfoot imprint and there is hoof print of calf also with Sri Krsna you can see that sacred Govardhana sila at Sri Sri Radha Damodara temple,thus real followers of Srila Sanatana Goswami can stay in where in the world peacefull and chant one lakh holy names daily and worship Sri Giriraja Sila and live in Vrindavana even when externally away from Vrindavana
