Lokanatha Goswami was an associate of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Mahaprabhu ordered him and Bhugarbha Goswami to find the lost holy places of Vrindavan. Years later, the Six Goswamis came to Vrindavan and continued this work. Lokanatha Goswami constructed the Radha-Gokulananda temple in Vrindavan. Srila Narottama dasa Thakura was his only disciple.
