Among the important books compiled by Sanatana Goswami is the Hari-bhakti-vilasa, which explains the duties and behavior for Vaishnavas. In twenty chapters (vilasas) Sanatana explains the duties and behavior of Vaishnavas. The sixth through tenth chapters contained in this volume describe the process of deity worship, the glories of Tulasi, and the characteristics of the devotee of Krishna.

In the sixth chapter the required practices for worshiping the deity are given, including detailed descriptions of the processes of bathing and cleansing the deity. The seventh chapter gives instructions on how to collect flowers used for the worship of Lord Vishnu. This chapter also gives a description of the glories of the Tulasi plant. In the eight chapter there is a description of the deity and instructions on how to set up incense, light lamps, make offerings, dance, play music, beat drums, and offer prayers and obeisances to the deity. The ninth chapter describes the spiritual benefits of drinking water used to wash the deity and of worshiping the Tulasi plant. The tenth chapter describes the qualities of the devotees of Lord Krishna.
