"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."

Sri Bhakti Sundar Angan Guesthouse (to the right of the temple) is just down
the road, a five-ten-minute's walk from the temple.
The walls of the fourth floor are almost completed by now.
The first (ground) floor.
The second floor.
Some of the rooms at the second floor are almost completed.
A sneak-peek into one of the fully tiled bathrooms on the second floor.
His Divine Grace checks the balcony and gives instructions to the worker.
The third floor is still heavily under construction.
The workers are completing the walls around the future doors and windows.
At the end, His Divine Grace pays a visit to the cows to treat them with some
bananas and bread.
Srila Gurudev makes sure every cow and calf gets a share.
Back at the main temple compound, the view of the land where the future
Prasadam Hall will be erected. The works have not started yet as His Divine
Grace is first making all the necessary arrangements before starting the
construction.
Their Lordships Sri Sri Gaura Nityananda, Sri Prahlad Maharaj and Sri Sri
Laksmi-Nrisinghadev
Two very happy and sweet servitors at the temple. These two Didis have been
joining festivals and preaching programmes of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math for
many years and have now come to serve at the temple for the time being.
