Transcendental Glory of Srila Swami Maharaj
'We do not know such words to celebrate his festival. We know, we have heard
a hundred times that if we glorify Vaishnavs, it gives great benefit, but how
much we can glorify Vaishnavs from our hearts? How much can we serve
Vaishnavs with our hearts? That is the main question.'
