"I bow my head in eternal obeisance to my Gurudev, the best of acharyas, Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj. He is the ever vigilant, stalwart guardian of the current of pure devotion whose highest form flows from our most worshippable Sri Rupanuga Guru-varga in their exclusive dedication to Mahabhav, Srimati Radharani."

tarpana mora vaisnavera nama
vaisnavera uchchhista tahe mora mano-nistha
vaisnavera namete ullasa

"The feet dust of the Vaishnavs is where I sport and take bath, Vaishnavs' name is the water oblation. My mind is intently fixed upon the remnants of Vaishnavs, and I am elated at the name of Vaishnavs."

darsane pavitra kara—ei tomara guna

"If the Ganges touches someone, they are purified some time later; but one becomes purified just by seeing you, O Vaishnava Thakur. Such is your power."

 

 


 


His Divine Grace making last preparations for the festival: purchasing some bhog for the festival.

 


 


The Math car goes to Ganga Sagar separately, loaded with bhog and paraphernalia for the festival.

 


 


His Divine Grace takes all the devotees to Ganga Sagar by boat. The boat service to Ganga Sagar became available a few years ago and it has since then been the wish of His Divine Grace to the devotees on this journey.

 


 


 


 


 


 


Although the journey is quite long (about six hours), it passes happily in Harinam sankirtan and Hari-katha.

We are practising Krishna consciousness, but we do not get real love and affection, prem,
because we have a disease—material desires, attachments, desire for liberation, etc.
