Madness
'When the Lord’s call comes to you, you will no longer think about your
children, you will no longer have any sense of duty. Because you no longer
have all these feelings, people will call you mad. Madness is the work of
self-submission. When you feel within your heart the urge to submit yourself
to the Lord, you will not pay attention to any obstacles.'

Gaura Pratipad. Disappearance of Vaishnav Sarvabhauma Srila Jagannath Das
Babaji Maharaj, Srila Rasikananda Dev-Goswami and Tridandi-swami Srimad
Bhakti Dayita Madhav Maharaj.
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj: "Even if you do
not know anything about the Vaishnav mentioned in the calendar, you must
still give them 'jay' on this day. We must always remember disappearance and
appearance days of all Vaishnavs. If we can remember such personalities, such
great souls, it will bring great benefit to our spiritual lives. If you
remember the glories of Vaishnavs, if you speak about the glories of
Vaishnavs, they can rescue you from all kinds of material bondage. We have
heard a hundred times that if we glorify Vaishnavs, it gives great benefit,
but even though we have heard it a thousand times, how much are we able to
glorify them with all our hearts? How much can we serve Vaishnavs with heart
and soul? This is the question."

Jagannath Das Babaji Maharaj's Bhajan Kutir
"This place where we are sitting now is the samadhi mandir and the
bhajan kutir of Jagannath Das Babaji Maharaj. We are paying obeisance
to his place. He is our Guru parampara..."
Srila
Jagannath Das Babaji Maharaj
"One day Srila Jagannath Das Babaji received a divine call from Radharani
saying, 'Why are you staying in Vrindavan? You must go to Nabadwip!' He could
not walk, so his servant Bihari Das carried him in a basket on his head to
Nabadwip."
At Sri
Jagannath Das Babaji Maharaj's Samadhi (1)
"It is written in Puranas that holy places can purify you, but it will
cheat you out of devotion. You will not get devotion by putting water on your
heads. Devotion comes from the dust from the holy feet of Vaishnavs."

Shyama (the Lord)? She chose the Lord. You must think whom you will choose,

else."

always check the calendar, and when we see some dates mentioned there, even
if we do not know anything about the Vaishnav or events mentioned there, we
can at least give 'jay' to them—that also brings some good sukriti, some
purification to us. Seeing the calendar and taking devotees' names early in

Krishna Chaturdasi. Sri Sri Sivaratri (optional fast). Departure of
Srimad Bhakti Nivas Bhagavat Maharaj and Sripad Yudhamanyu Prabhu
Seva-Vikram.
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj: "Yudhamanyu
Prabhu Seva Vikram was dear to every member of our Mission. He has set a
great example for everyone of what it means to be a servitor of Sri Chaitanya
Saraswat Math. Srila Gurudev’s extreme fondness and mercy towards him were
clearly evident to everyone, and many devotees from around the world cared
for him as a close personal friend. He has been regularly visiting India for
many years, and I have had the fortune of personally observing his sincere
and humble service mood. Yudhamanyu Prabhu’s seva in China was incomparable.
His complete dedication and success in fulfilling the desire of Srila Gurudev
illustrates to us all the essence of spiritual life. I feel I have no words
to describe my heart at the news of this passing of another of Srila
Gurudev’s beloved and stalwart associates. It is a great loss for our
Mission, and I pray that devotees will step forward in the void of his
absence to continue the service of Srila Gurudev’s Mission and all that he
took so much care to establish. I also hope that devotees will pray for Sri
Yudhamanyu Prabhu’s family and personal friends at this difficult time.
Krishna has taken Yudhamanyu Prabhu into His personal care now, and we cannot
but accept Krishna’s divine will with our heads bowed."

"Usually, people worship Lord Siva for their own interest, but this is
not a real worship. Do not do this. Do not make Sivji your servant by coming
to him to get something in return for the puja. People say, 'Siva, give me
this,' 'Siva, give me that'—Siva becomes their servant. However, our duty is
to worship Lord Siva. I will worship Lord Siva, and whether he takes
this worship or not, what he will give me or not give me, this is his matter.
I do not care whether I like something or not, if he is happy to keep me in a
bad condition, let him keep me in this way; and if he is happy to keep me in
a good condition, let him keep me in this way. My happiness or unhappiness
does not matter. We must always remember this."
