"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."

A peek into the kitchen and the happy services that take place there.

The front of the temple—fully painted, the temple is resplendent and fully prepared for the forthcoming grand festival of Sri Gaura Purnima (end of March).

The fourth floor of the guesthouse is also now taking shape. The workers are now making preparations for casting the roof.

A peek into one of the rooms on the second floor.



The third floor is still rather raw—the plastering works are underway.


Preparations for casting the roof.










During the evening class.




On the way from Nabadwip, His Divine Grace makes a brief stop in Kalna to
check on the temple maintenance.
