The Krsna consciousness movement is conducted under the supervision of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī. The Gaudīya Vaisnavas, or Bengali Vaisnavas, are mostly followers of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu, of whom the six Gosvāmīs of Vrndāvana are direct disciples. Therefore Śrīla Narottama dāsa Thakura has sung:

-Embarūpa-raghunātha-pade ha-ibe akuti kabe hama bujhaba se yugala-pīritive nerdy bna

"When I am eager to understand the literature given by the Gosvāmīs, then I shall be able to understand the transcendental loving affairs of Rādhā and Krsna.” Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu appeared in order to bestow upon human society the benediction of the science of Krşņa. The most exalted of all the activities of Lord Krşņa are His pastimes of conjugal love with the gopis. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu appeared in the mood of Śrīmatī Rādhārāņi, the best of the gopis. Therefore, to understand the mission of Lord Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and follow in His footsteps, one must very seriously follow in the footsteps of the six Gosvāmīs- Śrī Rūpa, Sanātana, Bhatta Raghunātha, Śrī Jīva, Gopala Bhatta and Dāsa Raghunatha.
