Gopala Bhatta Goswami is traditionally said to have left this world in 1578, on the sixth day of the dark half of the month of Shravana, at about seventy-five years of age. His life had carried him from a Sri Vaishnava temple town on the Kaveri River to the very heart of Gaudiya Vaishnava Vrindavana. His samadhi stands today within the Radha Raman temple complex, close to the spot where the Deity itself first appeared.
