pujya-sri-guru-varga-vandita-mahabhavanvitayah sada "I bow my head in eternal obeisance to my Gurudev, the best of acharyas, Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj. He is the ever vigilant, stalwart guardian of the current of pure devotion whose highest form flows from our most worshippable Sri Rupanuga Guru-varga in their exclusive dedication to Mahabhav, Srimati Radharani." |

| yatha sadhu, tatha tirtha, | sthira kari’ nija-chitta, |
| sadhu-sanga kara nirantara | |
| The result of visiting a place of pilgrimage is sadhu-sanga (pure devotees’ association) and being drawn to the exclusive service of Sri Krishna. A place of pilgrimage is where a sadhu (pure devotee) is. Always keep the association of pure devotees and firmly fix your mind by such association. |

Sri Imlitala:
"Krishna was sitting once in Imlitala, Vrindavan. (If you go to
Vrindavan you can see near our temple there is a tamarind tree.) Krishna sat
under that tamarind tree and suddenly saw His reflection in the Yamuna. He
thought, "Oh, how beautiful I am! Why does Radharani cry seeing My beauty?
Why does She always chant My Name? I want to know what kind of taste She
always gets! I will come as a devotee, in Her form!" And Bhagavan Sri Krishna
came in this age of Kali as Radha-Krishna's combined form—as Gauranga
Mahaprabhu, taking the same colour as Srimati Radhika..."

At Sri Kaliya-ghat:
You heard also about the Kaliya-daman-lila. Krishna floated in the
water for so long that He became very cold. His mother (vataslya-rasa)
took Him to the highest place in Vrindavan and summoned dvadas Surya,
twelve suns. One sun gives so much heat, but when twelve suns came all
together, there was so much heat that there started so much wild fire. All
Vraja basis, all devotees of Vrindavan became afraid, but Krishna's mother
kept Him there because Krishna was so cold, He was shaking and suffering so
much. When Krishna sensed that all devotees, all Vraja-basis, were very
afraid, He ate all the fire! After that, Yasoda Ma took Him home and gave Him
some hot milk because she was so worried, "My son is so cold!" When Krishna
touched the hot milk with His lips, He cried, "Ow!" Yasoda Ma was surprised,
"I have just now seen how You have eaten so much fire, and now You are scared
of some hot milk?!" Krishna said then quietly, "Have you seen it? Do not tell
anyone about it, OK?" (Yasoda's Darling Krishna)
