By the order of Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami remained a lifelong brahmachari. His service was constant chanting of Hare Krishna and reading Shrimad Bhagavatam. In Jagannatha Puri, Raghunatha satisifed Lord Gauranga by his exceptional cooking and kirtana performances, which won him the title, kirtana acharya.
When he came to Vrindavana, the Vaishnavas (including Shri Rupa and Sanatana Goswamis) would regularly listen to his singing of Bhagavata shlokas in four tunes as sweet as a cuckoo. His recitation was unparalleled; even Vyasadeva enjoyed it. He fulfilled Lord Chaitanya's order to preach the glories and peerless significance of the grantha-raja Shrimad Bhagavatam.
His tears of pure love for Radha-Govinda would wet the pages. Raghunatha Bhatta was so absorbed in Krishna-katha that he never heard or spoke worldly topics, what to speak of criticizing Devotees. He believed that all Vaishnavas are sincerely serving the Lord according to their realization, and therefore one should overlook their faults.
Under his inspiration, a wealthy disciple built a gorgeous Temple in Vrindavana for Shri-Shi Radha-Govindaji. Even after four-hundred and fifty years, this intricately hand-carved red stone Temple remains the most beautiful Temple in Vrindavana and all of Northern India. Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami faithfully served Govindaji for forty years.
He was a scholar in all subjects, although he didn't write any books like the other Goswamis. Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami learned everything simply by hearing shastras. Fearing that Muslims might desecrate Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami's sacred form, Shri Jiva Goswami had his body burned. The ashes were placed in two samadhis, one in Radha-kunda, another in the 64 Samadhis Area. In Radha-Govindaji's nitya-lila he serves as Rasa or Raga manjari, one of Shri Radha's asta manjaris.

Por orden de Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami se mantuvo como brahmachari toda la vida. Su servicio era el constante canto de Hare Krishna y leer el Srimad Bhagavatam. En Jagannatha Puri, Raghunatha satisfizo a el Señor Gauranga por sus interpretaciones de cocina y kirtana excepcionales, que le valieron el título, acarya kirtana.
Cuando llegó a Vrindavana, los Vaishnavas (incluyendo Sri Rupa y Sanatana Goswamis) escuchaba regularmente a su canto de shlokas Bhagavata en cuatro canciones más dulces que un cuco. Su recitación era incomparable; incluso Vyasadeva lo disfruto. Él cumplió la orden del Señor Chaitanya de predicar las glorias e importancia sin par de la grantha-raja Srimad Bhagavatam.
Sus lágrimas de puro amor por Radha-Govinda se moje las páginas. Raghunatha Bhatta estaba tan absorto en Krishna-katha que nunca oyó ni habló temas mundanos, ni qué hablar de criticar a los devotos. Creía que todos los Vaisnavas están sirviendo sinceramente al Señor de acuerdo a su realización, y por lo tanto uno debe pasar por alto sus defectos.
Bajo su inspiración, un discípulo adinerado, construyó un magnífico templo en Vrindavana para Shri Radha-Shi-Govindaji. Incluso después de cuatrocientos cincuenta años, esta tallada a mano, de piedra rojo, este intrincado templo sigue siendo el más hermoso templo en Vrindavana y todo el norte de la India. Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami sirvió fielmente a Govindaji durante cuarenta años.
Él era un erudito en todas las materias, aunque él no escribió ningún libro como los otros Goswamis. Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami aprendió todo simplemente por escuchando los sastras. Ante el temor de que los musulmanes podrían profanar la forma sagrada de Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami, Sri Jiva Goswami tenía los restos de su cuerpo quemado. Las cenizas fueron colocadas en dos samadhis, uno en Radha-kunda, otro en el Área 64 Samadhi. En nitya-lila de Radha-Govindaji se desempeña como Rasa o Raga manjari, uno de manjaris asta de Shri Radha.
