Śrī Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī was the forty-seventh branch and one of the tree’s great, exalted branches. He always discussed love of Godhead in the company of Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī.
He and his father, Veṅkaṭa Bhaṭṭa, had the opportunity to serve Lord Caitanya Mahāprabhu during His four-month stay in their home. Gopāla Bhaṭṭa formerly belonged to the Rāmānuja-sampradāya and later became part of the Gauḍīya-sampradāya.
Lord Caitanya was very pleased when Gopāla Bhaṭṭa Gosvāmī reached Vṛndāvana and met Rūpa and Sanātana Gosvāmī. He asked them to accept Gopāla Bhaṭṭa as their younger brother and care for him.
