"The Next Acharya"

Spoken on 4 December 2009

He, (Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj), is highly qualified and I have chosen him as next Acharya of this Math. All of you should unitedly proceed under his guidance, serve under him faithfully and love him. His love for the Math is his greatest quality. That the Math should not lose even one inch of its land, even one inch of its property—he is continuously working towards this end. I am now asking him to speak Hari-katha as my representative...

[Following Srila Acharya Maharaj's speech Srila Govinda Maharaj continued:] Math secretary, Math manager, future Math Acharya, Sripad Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj ki jay! After me, all of you should continue as his followers. Everyone makes mistakes, but I very rarely see anyone with a sincere, heartfelt service mood like him. The type of profound vision and attentive care he has for every matter cannot be seen anywhere. I pray the Lord will bring him all goodness and auspiciousness.

"A Miracle"

Spoken on 7 February 2009

"We are so blissful and so much indebted to Sripad Acharya Maharaj because he hears what Srila Guru Maharaj wants, what I want, and does that. He has done everything, all arrangements. He has the capacity and has done so much. It is a miracle. Sripad Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj is an impossible man, a miraculous man whose energy is over-flooding for the service to our society. He is my very dear friend, very dear disciple, very dear worker, everything. My blessings to him. He is doing, attending to all of my own service duties, and I am so happy."

"My Desire, My Order, and My Wish"

Spoken on 13 September 2008

"As per direction of Srila Guru Maharaj, the members of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math will be those who are under the guidance of the Sevaite-President of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math. If somebody cannot understand, cannot proceed with help, affection, and love to Sripad Acharya Maharaj, they must not disturb the Mission's affairs and must get out.

"At present I see that Sripad Acharya Maharaj is the fittest person as the Sevaite-President-Acharya. So, this is my order. My well-wishes and my affection and love are with Sripad Acharya Maharaj. He is fully dedicated to the Mission and to Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Gandharva Govindasundar, he wants to do all the good things for the Math. So, to stay in the Math everyone must support him. This is my desire, my order, and my wish.

"Everyone follows him, but not everyone follows him with affection—everyone must respect him as the Math Acharya and help him. Those who cannot accept him must get out. This is not only my desire, even Srila Guru Maharaj's desire is like that. In this way the Mission will continue."
