"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.

vaisnavera pada-dhuli tahe mora snana-keli
tarpana mora vaisnavera nama
vaisnavera uchchhista tahe mora mano-nistha
vaisnavera namete ullasa

"The feet dust of the Vaishnavs is where I sport and take bath, Vaishnavs' name is the water oblation. My mind is intently fixed upon the remnants of Vaishnavs, and I am elated at the name of Vaishnavs."

"If the Ganges touches someone, they are purified some time later; but one becomes purified just by seeing you, O Vaishnava Thakur. Such is your power."

As the hall is quite crowded, devotees pay their obeisance from afar and continue their way to the temple of Sri Gopinath.

 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


Sri Sri Radha Gopinathjiu, the holy prayojana-tattva (the goal) Deity of Gaudiya line. His Divine Grace says, "They are the Deities of sambandha tattva, abhidheya tattva, prayojana tattva. First is Madan Mohan, sambandha tattva, then abhidheya tattva, Govinda, and then prayojana tattva, Gopinath. Sanatan Goswami served Madan Mohanji, Rupa Goswami served Govindaji, and Madhu Pandit served Gopinathji."
