Sublime 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.'

Today in the calendar:

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."

Sri Nrisingha Palli 'The last place of our parikrama today is the temple in Sri Nrsingha Palli (Nrisimha Palli). By the mercy of Sri Gurudev, by the mercy of Sri Nrisimhadev and by the mercy of Srila Prahlad Maharaj, we have got here a small place, which gives us now an opportunity to do Sri Nabadwip Dham parikrama every year from here.'     25 Feb (Wed).

Love Service, Not Yourself
'Guru Maharaj always said that it is good to do service. Do not make excuses. Your hands will rot away in a few days anyway – if you cannot serve the Lord with your hands, the Lord will take your hands away. It is very hard to get service, but it is very easy to lose it.'

Acharya Maharaj: "We should 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 the morning, from the beginning of the day, is very good for all devotees. 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."

Spiritual Life Is Not Fashion
'Those who can accept chastisement attain benefit very fast. There is nobody in this world who wants your benefit more than your guru. Taking a mantra from a guru, calling him paramahamsa, giving him jay, flowers, garlands and bhoga – these are not symptoms of a disciple. A symptom of a disciple is love for the guru.'

Today in the calendar: 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."

In honour of Lord Siva: devadidevam-ahibhusanam-indukasam panchananam pasupatim varadam prasannam gangadharam pranatapalakamasutosam vande sadasiva-haripriya-chandramaulim "The chief of the Devas, whose body is decorated by snakes, whose body shines like the moon, who has five heads, who carries his weapon known as Pasupat, who gives boons, who is of satisfied nature, who holds the Ganga on his head, who maintains those who give obeisance to him, who is easily pleased—I offer my obeisances to Sada Siva, who is dear to Hari, and whose crown is the moon."   "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." ~Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj Sivji Maharaj—Param Vaishnav [20 Jan 2016 | Translated from Bengali] "Some say, 'You are a Siva bhakta, I am a Krishna bhakta!' You must not say such things. Siva and Krishna are not different from each other, and at the same time Krishna and Siva are one. Siva is an expansion of Krishna." "O Vaishnav Thakur!" [9 December 2018 | Tarakeshwar] "We cannot have the darshan of Lord Siva with these eyes. Do we have the eyes? We have the eyes for maya—we always see the things of illusory world. Devotees pray to Lord Siva for forgiveness of their offences. If you ask him for forgiveness, he is very merciful, he can remove your offences..."

Depths of Esoteric Relationship
'"Gurudev is mine" – if this feeling has not appeared in your, then your practising life has not started yet. The feeling of close relation ("he is mine") is very strong – it is so powerful and potent! "I have him seated in my heart" – when such a feeling comes, then the guru’s job is successful.'

Best Shelter
'Krishna's abode (Vrindavan Dham) is a shelter for those who have attained liberation from all material desires and who serve the Lord continuously; it is not for those who have even a trace of material desires. But Gaura Dham is for everyone – for all the lowly, sinful, poor, depraved, destitute and unfortunate souls.'
