Avoid
Religious Hypocrisy
'It is greed that drives people to do so many atrocious things. We do not
need to be part of that. We have come to practise Krishna consciousness. We
are not dharma-dhvaji (pretenders who show off religion in a
hypocritical way or use it for politics). We must live as Vaishnavs.'

Plan Your
Journey
'There are thousands of trains departing from the Howrah station, but we must
get on the train that goes to Vrindavan – all the other trains will not take
us there. Other trains will take us to Kashi, Prayag or some other place.
Another thing is that even if you take the train to Vrindavan – under whose
guidance will you stay there?'

Value of
Chastity
'Do not get involved in any hodgepodge. We must have chastity and sincerity.
Gurudev did not go to random places, and he never liked when anybody did
that. This is the devotional line of our Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math within
the current of Sri Rupa-Saraswati.'

Busy
Yourself with Service
'If you want to come, I am inviting everybody. At the same time, you must
understand though that coming for a festival is not just an opportunity to
take prasad – coming for a festival means coming to hear some
Hari-katha and get some sadhu-sanga.'

Chaste
Submission Is Key
'I think that this is the most important advice that we all must follow to a
T. I have seen many devotees and many things happening during all these many
years, and there is only one thing we really need. We may or may not know
anything, we may or may not understand anything – it is not necessary to be
scholars or to do anything big – the only thing we must remember is that we
must practise spiritual life in submission to our gurudev.'

Undistorted
Line
'Everybody can be what they like, but if somebody calls Gurudev a liar, if
somebody says bad things about Gurudev, if they leave the temple and then
somebody brings them back, how can I talk to them? How can I even see their
faces? I would rather stay in a jungle or under some tree; it is much
better.'

Today in the calendar: Purnima. Vasanta Rasa of Sri Krishna. Rasa Yatra of Sri Sri Balaram. Appearance of Srila Vamsi-vadananda Thakur and Srila Syamananda Prabhu.
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."
In honour of Sri Syamananda Prabhu:
"Srinivas Acharya, Narottam Das Thakur, and Shyamananda Prabhu started for Vrindavan to have the darshan of Srila Rupa Goswami, Srila Sanatan Goswami, Srila Gopala Bhatta Goswami, Srila Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami and others who were there.
"When they were only a few miles away from Mathura, they heard that Sanatan Goswami had passed away. People were saying that that great Sanatan Goswami who was the prime minister and who had captured all people in the whole of Vrindavan within his heart—that Sanatan had passed away, a great disaster for the country. What to do then? Rupa, Raghunath, Jiva and Gopala Bhatta were still living, so Srinivas, Narottam, and Shyamananda dragged somehow on.
When they reached Mathura, they heard that Srila Rupa Goswami had left the night before that. Sanatana left on an ashari purnima, and Srila Rupa Goswami left after that on next dvadasi. They thought, "What hopeless and cursed souls we are! We have come so near, yet we could not see those two generals of Mahaprabhu!" Mahaprabhu sent two of his generals to Vrindavan to carry out His orders and establish the kingdom of the Gaudiya Vaishnavs there... So, they dragged their bodies to Vrindavan and came to Govinda Mandir. When they reached it, they found that an evening aroti was going on there in a very great splendour. There was a great crowd there—Srila Rupa Goswami had just passed away, so with that feeling of high bereavement, everybody was chanting his name madly. Srinivas, Narottam, and Shyamananda Prabhu were there, but Srinivas Acharya could not stand that sort of sentimental wave—he was standing aside and he fainted. When he regained his consciousness, he saw Srila Jiva Goswami with some of his followers...
In this way, Srinivas Acharya, Narottam Das Thakur, and Shyamananda Prabhu stayed in Vrindavan for one year—Srinivas Acharya took initiation from Gopala Bhatta, Narottam Thakur from Lokanath Goswami, and Shyamananda Prabhu from Srila Jiva Goswami Prabhu..."
(Srila B.R. Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj)
"Sri Gauri Das Pandit is one of the twelve cowherd friends of Krishna in Vrindavan. Shyamananda Prabhu was his disciple and followed him in the sakhya-bhav (transcendental mood of friendship with the Lord), however when he later entered the association of Srila Jiva Goswami Prabhu, who was a follower of Sri Rupa Goswami, he exhibited madhura-bhav (transcendental mood of paramour relationship with the Lord). Shyamananda Prabhu was promoted to the manjari group by the mercy of Lalita Devi. Later, Shyamananda Prabhu went to preach with Srila Narottam Das Thakur and Srila Srinivas Acharya. Srila Narottam Das Thakur preached in Bangladesh, Srila Srinivas Acharya Prabhu preached in the north, and Srila Shyamananda Prabhu preached in Midnapore. They preached and protected our line, Rupa Goswami's line, the main conception."
(Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj)

Poisonous Trees Within and Without
'Whenever Gurudev chastised me, I did not mind it. But I cannot tolerate
those who disrespected Gurudev, and I have not mixed with them to this day.
Many people say, "Oh, why are you not going to Nabadwip?" You can judge it
yourselves.'

Who Is Gurudev?
'Gurudev is not a man of this world – he is not an ordinary man. When we
think of Gurudev as of an ordinary man, we commit an offence, we make a
mistake. Gurudev is the Lord Himself. The Lord personally comes in the form
of guru to bestow His mercy upon us.'

'I Cannot
Forget This Day'
'I try to forget that day, and I try to keep myself happy by serving him. The
day when Gurudev left is a very bad day in my life. Those who do not have a

understand the pain of losing one's guru...'

Gurudev's
Disappearance
[24 April 2021 | Part 1]
"Today is the holy disappearance day of Om Vishnupad Jagad Guru Srila Bhakti
Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj. He chose this day and left our sight on
this day, at 4:20-30 in the morning. He is present now in his samadhi
form, and he is bestowing his mercy upon us from there. He always stays
within his eternal pastimes...."
"Everything
Plunged Into Darkness" [24 April 2021 | Part
2]
"When Gurudev left this world, I thought, 'Now there is no one left in this
world who will chastise me.' I always spoke to Gurudev heart to heart, I told
him about all happy and unhappy things, and when Gurudev left this world, I
could not understand anything—what was going on, what was going to happen,
everything plunged into darkness for me..."
Service Alertness
[24 April 2021 | Part 3]
"I was always alert towards Gurudev—I know everything, what he likes, what he
eats, etc. I knew what Gurudev liked to eat, and I would go to the market the
day before his arrival, buy everything and have it kept in his kitchen.
Gurudev always liked trees and cows..."
Service
Milestones
[24 April 2021 | Part 4]
"Gurudev brought me up, he taught me everything. Gurudev told about Vaishnav
seva—how one must serve Vaishnavs, how one must serve devotees, how to manage
the temple, etc. I have learnt everything from Gurudev. I always did whatever
Gurudev told me."
Service
Challenges
[24 April 2021 | Part 5]
"In my life I had to do all these hard, hard, very difficult jobs, and I was
always successful. Anyhow but I did it. Whether it was getting building plans
approved, whether it was any other job, everything was unhampered in the
end."
Gurudev's Insight
[24 April 2021 | Part 6]
"I have heard and learned a lot from Gurudev. Gurudev gave me so many
instructions how to maintain the temple, and Gurudev is dur-darasi—he
has a great foresight. He always managed everything very tactfully."
Gurudev's Loving
Affection
[24 April 2021 | Part 7]
"Sri Sivananda Sen understood it, Sri Jagadananda Pandit understood it, and
Srila Sanatan Goswami also realised what is called Guru and Vaishnav's
blessing in the world of devotion. I myself realised and understood it
gradually too."
Nurturing
Gurudev's Mission
[24 April 2021 | Part 8]
"You cannot become a disciple just by taking a mantra from a guru. It is
necessary to have and show your love, affection for your Guru, to take him as
your own. If you care for and think about your Guru and Vaishnavs, then your
Guru and Vaishnavs will care for and think about you..."

Afraid to Give
'I will tell you a story and then finish. This story shows what happens when
you give something to the Lord. The Lord does not take your things. Do you
understand it now? If you offer bhog to the Lord, He cannot eat it
Himself without giving anything to His devotee. Therefore, always offer
bhog to the Lord.'
