Acharya Shrivatsa Goswami (born 27 October 1950) is an Indian Indologist scholar as well as Gaudiya Vaishnava religious leader. He was born in the Vaishnava pilgrimage site of Vrindavan, into a brahmin family whose members were caretakers of Radha Raman Temple for more than four centuries, one of the known Vrindavan temples, founded by Chaitanya’s associate, the saint Gopala Bhatta Goswami. Shrivatsa Goswami’s father, Purushottam Goswami, was the temple leading priest. In accordance with the family tradition, Shrivatsa Goswami became the acharya of Radha Raman temple. In 1972, he founded a scientific and cultural organization, the “Sri Caitanya Prema Samsthana”, to the propagation of traditional Vaishnavism and patronised the arts (Raslila dance and other) and scholarship on Vaishnavism, particularly in Vrindavan.
