Śrī Vakreśvara Gosvāmī era um Kīrtanīyā (executor de Kīrtana) e dançarino especialmente proficiente. Ele podia cantar e dançar continuamente por 72 horas !!!
Śrī Kṛṣṇa Caitanya Mahāprabhu incumbiu cada um dos Seus associados com diferentes responsabilidades.
1 - Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī, nas suas obras, ficou incumbido de tratar extensivamente acerca de Rasa-tattva.
2 - Porém, foi Śrī Svarūpa Dāmodara quem ficou com a incumbência de mostrar como Rasa ocorre no serviço prático (Rasamayī Upāsanā).
Śrī Svarūpa Dāmodara executou esta ordem em duas partes ao instruir Śrīla Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī e Śrī Vakreśvara Gosvāmī:
A - Com Śrīla Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī (caminho interno - Antaḥ-panthā)
Śrīla Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī mostra nas suas obras todos os serviços oferecidos por um Rāgānugā-sādhana Bhakta (Mādhurya-rasa em Mañjarī-bhāva).
As obras de Śrīla Raghunātha Dāsa Gosvāmī são:
Śrī Vilāpa-kusumāñjali, Śrī Vraja-vilāsa-stava, Śrī Manaḥ-śikṣā e Sva-niyama-daśakam.
B - Com Śrī Vakreśvara Gosvāmī (caminho externo - Bahih-panthā).
Śrī Vakreśvara Gosvāmī oferece um manual (Paddhati) que mostra passo a passo, metódica e sistematicamente todos os procedimentos de Rāgānugā-sādhana-bhakti (concepção e vizualização do Ekādaśa-bhāva, onze ítens do Siddha-rūpa).
Em sucessão, Śrī Vakreśvara Gosvāmī passa este manual para Śrī Gopāla-guru Gosvāmī que passa para Śrīpāda Dhyānacandra Gosvāmī.
O Paddhati (manual) é:
Śrī Gaura-govindārcana-smaraṇa-paddhatiḥ.
