Inner Fulfillment

· Preface ·

The need for every one of us in this world is to solve the real problem of suffering caused by our existence in this mortal world. The solution is well-known to those special souls who are truly acquainted with the eternal spiritual realm, and they are able to impart that to others. It is the introduction to these secrets which is being expressed in this new booklet Inner Fulfillment.

I bow down with my full obeisances to my Spiritual Master, Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj, from whose books this present publication has been compiled, with the addition of newly transcribed selections from his taped discourses. Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj is the acknowledged head of all theistic schools and spiritualists of the modern age. His teachings are largely of the 'post graduate' grade, but he graciously gave much encouragement and clear directive for the newcomers to seriously take to the path of the attainable goal of life—joyful immortality.

There are almost two hundred publications from his Mission now available worldwide in over a dozen languages. Most of these publications assume that the reader already has some familiarity with the conceptions involved. However, Inner Fulfillment has been especially compiled to give an introduction for all sincere seekers whether or not previously acquainted with such topics.

Readers interested in further literature and information are invited to refer to the list of books and addresses at the back of this publication and to correspond with the Secretary of any of our principle centers worldwide.

This book is being published during the Centenary Year of my Srila Guru Maharaj in order to help further extend the treasures of his guidance to sincere souls the world over. As his successor and the Sevaite-President-Acharyya of his worldwide Mission it is a great duty for me, also a great joy, to broadcast his teachings and glories far and wide. I extend my happy appreciation to Sripad Mahananda dasa Bhakti Ranjan for bringing out this booklet Inner Fulfillment as one of our Mission's introductory publications for mass distribution.

It is my prayer that the compilation of the selected texts herein may give nourishment, and new life, to all.

humbly,

—Swami B.S. Govinda
