"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."
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."
gangara-parasa ha-ile paschate pavana
darsane pavitra kara—ei tomara guna
"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."

Mixing in cement, sand, and gravel with water...
...and sending it up to the roof.
Above and below: last preparations before the cement works begin.
His Divine Grace briefly looks into the rooms on the floor and proceeds to the roof.
His Divine Grace takes a sit to supervise the works. Next to His Divine Grace
(left to right) are Sripad B.T. Niriha Maharaj, Sripad B.Ch. Vishnu Maharaj,
Amrita Krishna Prabhu, Rana Krishna Prabhu, Ananda Moy Prabhu, Suddha Krishna
Prabhu, and Sripad B.B. Puri Maharaj.
Once the rough mixture arrives upstairs, it is mixed some more water and then applied to form the solid roof surface.
His Divine Grace comes downstairs when the works shift to the second half of the roof.
The final works on the roof.

Om Vishnupad
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj:
"You all say that you will come and tolerate so many austerities wherever I
am—whether I stay in a forest or in a jungle, you say you will still come.
Hearing and seeing this, I get enthusiasm to do this parikrama. If you
did not come, how would I feel eager to do it? I would not. You come, you
tolerate all the inconveniences, many of you do not get a proper place, do
not get a room, you sleep on the veranda, in the nat mandir, in different
pandals, but you come to join this parikrama, and it gives me so much
joy. That is why, I always feel enthusiastic, I always think how to arrange
the parikrama next time, how to increase the facilities for the next
time. You can see that even during the past year, more rooms were built here,
the outbuilding kitchen was expanded, etc. In this way, I am trying to
increase the facilities in various places, I struggle and try hard to arrange
place for you to stay. To this day, I am still trying hard to do this on the
order of my Gurudev."
