On this auspicious day, the 102nd anniversary of your Divine Advent, I thank my lucky stars to be celebrating it here at your Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math.

During this lifetime I could not come to your lotus feet directly but, by the mercy of your servitors, I came in contact with that lofty ideal for which I had searched all my life. That pure and subtle conception which was presented in The Search for Sri Krishna - Reality the Beautiful was like a shining beacon amidst the dangerous reefs of materialistic literature and the treacherous whirlpools of the Mayavadi philosophies in which I had previously searched for life's answers.

A few months after you had left for your eternal lila I was able to come to your Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math and take shelter at the lotus feet of your dearmost beloved disciple, Om Visnupad Sri Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev Goswami Maharaj. At that time I felt great sadness and separation from you but, some few years later, I came to understand that that which I had found in you was also flowing, and overflowing, in my beloved and most merciful spiritual master, Sri Srila B.S. Govinda Maharaj.

The exalted devotees will, no doubt, sing extensively of your inexhaustible glories and good qualities which even Anantashesh could not fully describe, but I simply thank you for that sweet, full fruition of your mercy, my Guru Deva, whose humility, mercy, tolerance, and full spiritual qualifications make him the perfect Successor-Acharya of a Perfect Devotee of our Lord.

Praying for Your Servitor's eternal service,
