Heartedly wishing that this your auspicious glorious Appearance Day, Sept. 28th 2011, be of nature “many many more to come”, in truth, victoriously blessed to prove that you are “Outstanding” as Srila Govinda Maharaj determinately stated and still hearable loudly keeps saying!

The “test and trial” you are facing are there doubtless for divine higher reason!

“Outstanding” as you are qualified, so as the earthquakes and thunderbolts doomed up, I’m confident that in the same way also they will disappear alike dark dense clouds before the sun!

After all, who sides only with Truth full protected is by Truth, Lord Sri Krishna, the Cause of all causes!

Happy Appearance Day again and over again!

With loving affection, faithfully, Swami BM Ban Maharaj! Rome, Italy

Sri Sri Guru-Gaurangau Jayatah Dear Srila Acharyadev, Please accept my obeisance at your lotus feet.

On this day of your appearance in this world, I am remembering your exalted qualities and the profound inspiration you have been in my life. I have no capacity to chant your glories, the glories of Sri Gurudev, but Sriman Mahaprabhu ex- tolled the glory of his Param-Gurudev, Srila Madhavendra Puri, with the following verses which expresses my heart’s appreciation for you:

purira prema-parakastha karaha vichara alaukika prema chitte lage chamatkara pragadha-premera ei svabhava-achara nija-duhkha-vighnadira na kare vichara (Śrī Chaitanya-charitamrita: Madhya-lila: 4.178, 186) “Just consider the super-excellent prem of Madhavendra Puri! His extraordinary prem strikes the heart with wonder! He does not consider his own distress, difficulties, and so forth, whatsoever. this is the nature of his profound prem.”

As I see you daily exemplify this verse in your service to your Gurudev, Srila Bhakti Sundar Go- vinda Dev-Goswami maharaj, I feel forcefully inspired to commit my fully energy to somehow assisting you in your service. I feel that the heartfelt and self-evident devotion to Srila Govinda Maharaj you exhibit in the face of all adversity naturally sines only more gloriously as you con- tinue overcoming the obstacles and challenges that present themselves in your way. Moreover, I feel all such adversity has come about only by the benevolent will of Providence to sow us your exalted devotional qualities and attract our hearts to your mood of surrender and devotion (ei tara gadha prema loke dekhaite, gopala tare ajna dila chandana anite).

I feel confident you are a true guardian for the surrendered souls who want only to dedicate their lives to the service of our Guru-varga and that you are a saviour of the lost servants of the Lord wandering in illusory world. guru-pada-padme rahe yara nistha bhakti

brahmande tarite se dhare maha-śakti

“One who has chaste devotion for the lotus feet of Sri Guru has the power to deliver the entire world.” My heart soars with joy when I remember the great mercy you have sown me, the wonderful as- sociation I have had with you, and the service you have engaged me in.

Simultaneously, I repent the innumerable shortcomings in my endeavours to reciprocate with the love and affection you have sown to me and have no alternative but to perpetually pray to you for the guidance and support necessary to fulfil your desires. visaye ye priti ebe achaye amara

sei mata priti hauk charane tomara

“May whatever loving attachment I have for all else be transferred to your lotus feet.”

Your fallen servant, Bhakti Kamal Tyagi Nabadwip Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math

All glory to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga

Srimach Chaitanya Saraswata Mathavara udgita kirtir Jayasrim – dear Srila Acharyadev, we are whol- ly indebted to you, for you are proudly bearing and announcing that flag of exclusive dedication in the line of Radha-dasyam. You are holding your deep serving connection to the lotus feet of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga and simultaneously, constantly trying to draw us all in closer to that same connection. Again and again you implore us: “Give your attention to the lotus feet of Mahaprabhu, stop wasting your time with the mundane world; don’t go to the illusory environment. Dive deeper, come closer. Give every drop of blood that you have – nothing else will do.” Exclusive, wholesale, 100% dedication to the lotus feet of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga – you are not satisfied with anything less, you will not tol- erate anything less, you are disgusted with anything less: “Give your heart; nothing else will do.” This is your deep faith and heart’s feeling, this is the message you spread – yet simultaneously we see, again and again, your compassion, affection, tolerance, acceptance, and constant accommoda- tion of all of us fallen souls who are still dragging along, unable to fully give ourselves.

You are continuing with the same message Srila Gurudev spread: come together on one ship in Harinam-sankirtan, come under one umbrella and proceed together to the lotus feet of Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga. So we are wholly and eternally indebted to you for your example of wholesale, wholehearted dedication. We are trying to follow you and pray you will always keep us under that umbrella you are holding high. We ever pray to please you, to serve you, to assist you in any way we can. Could there be any greater happiness for us, than to continue in such a noble endeavour?

datte bhakti-rasam sa eva bhagavan gaurah param me gatih [23] Sri-Prabodhanandapadanam

The dignity of casting oneself unto the lotus feet of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, the Hero in the Divine Pastimes of supreme magnanimity— He makes no distinction between the worthy and the unworthy, and He does not differentiate between Himself and others; He does not consider who should be given to and who should not, and He makes no preparation for an auspicious or inauspicious moment; and He swiftly awards the rarest nectar of pure devotion beginning with hearing about the Lord, beholding Him, making obeisance unto Him, and absorbing one’s thoughts in Him—that Supreme Lord Gaurahari is my one and only shelter.

—Sri Prabodhananda Saraswati

You are continuing that line of distribution and with the same kind of mood: without considering qualification or disqualification, in a truly non-envious way you eagerly try to make one and all noble servants of Mahaprabhu. Without considering the vast difference between us and yourself, you take us all as your intimate friends and treat us as your very own.

Praying for forgiveness for my many offences, Your aspiring servant, Bisakha dasi

Purifier of the fallen souls, when will true attachment for you arise in my heart?

Oh wonderful personality, I hope that very soon I will not commit any more offences. Please forgive this fallen soul. All glories to you on your auspicious appearnace day! Sri Krishna Chaitanya Prabhu Nityananda Sri Advaita Gadadhara Srivasadi Gaura Bhakta Vrnda ki jay!

Dear Acharja Maharaj! Please accept my great respect at Your lotus feet and desire to always stay at Your lotus feet and serve You as best as possible. I, Kaushalya and Gopal and all the devotees are waiting for you to come back home to Nabadwip. I remember that wherever you are is Nabad- wip. Remembering You, I have energy to live and act and I believe You will mercifully accept actions as service unto the lotus feet of Yourself, Gurudev and Srila Shridhar Maharaj. Without You, life is very dark and dangerous. You are my protector and You are my inspiration and my force. You are so merciful, You allowed me and my children to stay in Nabadwip, in the best place in the world! Now my children are growing up in the good assosiation of vaishnavas and I have got some hope that my life will not be wasted in vain. Writing these words to You, Maharaj, I have became very happy and peaceful.

Devahuti dd. P.S. My husband Ram Ray also sends You his dandavats from Moscow temple. One day Avadhut Maharadj will also send him to come here to stay for some time in the beautiful environment of Nabadwip and get Your mercy. Gopal is also sending you his dandavats and waiting very much waiting for you to come back.

Dear Acharja Maharaj! I very want to come to Calcutta for your birthday but I can’t because of school. I want so much to stay with You and see Your beatiful lotus face every day and sing bha- jans every day with You. Your veranda is very sad and empty without You, only Your picture is there now. Today we decorated Your veranda and Nat mandir and all the temple. We love You and an re waiting so much for you to come back! I send You very beautiful and nice smelling garland of white, yellow and orange flowers, and I am asking for mercy from your lotus feet.

My Dear Gurudev, The most dear words, the most loving sentences in all the religious books, within all knowledge, is that – guru brahma guru bishnu gurudebo moheshwaro gururebo parom brahma tasmai sre gurube namo. I dont like to think that I’m mere a devotee, his servant, rather I like to say & think that I’m the dear one of my gurudeva. My gurudeva is only mine. Arrangements are being made for your

birth day. I’m getting pleasure. The very pleasure I get is thinkng that I am expressing

my love for my gurudeva. Sometimes I think that my gurudeva has so many great devotees, may be I’m nothing to him. This thought would often haunt me, make me sorrowful but the sweet voice, the sweet words of my gurudeva diminish this

illusion. Now I think I’m the dear one of my gurudeva. Because my gurudeva has taught me to be plain hearted, to be humble. I want to express to the whole world proudly that my gurudeva is only my gurudeva, my gurudeva is the best gurudeva

and I love my gurudeva. When my inner soul wants to speak something, the common words of the mouth become light and my expression may sound childish.

But I know my gurudeva likes this plain hearted humbleness very very much. Today on your birth day I am giving my great childish love from my little heart to you. Your, Sundor Gopal Nabadwip Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math

Dear Srila Acharya Maharaj, I offer my respectful obeisances unto your divine feet and prostrate humbly unto the lotus feet of my spiritual master. I cannot properly glorify the unlimited qualities and contributions of Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj.

Dearest Srila Acharyyadev,

Please accept my most humble obeisances at your Lotusfeet in eternal remembrance of His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev Goswami Maharaj.

Sri Guru can give service to Sri Krishna, because He is the best Servitor of all. His highest form is flowing from our most worshipable Sri Rupanuga Guru varga in exclusive dedication to Mahab- hava, Srimati Radharani.

We pray to see you like that.

We can often see your lovely smiling face and hear your encouraging words in your darshans via the Internet. We can feel that Srila Gurudeva, Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinada Dev Goswami Maha- raj, has given His full blessings to You to contiue His Worldwide Mission.

You have so much capacity, strength and energy to satisfy all devotees who come to you as well as to carry out the orders of Your Divine Masters. We have seen so many miracles that were mani- fested by You. Srila Gurudeva has said about you: He is a Miracle Man!

It was very sweet to me to have a little personal darshan of You on Skype some weeks ago, be- cause you said: ‘don’t worry, Gurudev and Krishna are always with you’. I will try to keep this in heart and mind and in that way deal with everything that comes.

Personally i feel the most fortunate living being by having come in contact with such Lifesaving, Beautiful Mission, Devotees and Saints. On the other hand i feel the most unfortunate living be- ing, as the depth of my fallenness has no end. I feel i can do practically nothing for Service to the devotees, or help others out by preaching Krishna Consiousness. This must be due to unlimited offences and Himalaya’s of bad karma.

I pray that on this Day you will have a Wonderful Feast with all your Godbrothers, Devotees and Friends. They are all so gratefull to have this Mission continued by your tireless efforts and energy. We are all so gratefull for all the Acharyya’s Srila Gurudeva has given to this Mission, and we pray to continue our lives in remembrance and service from afar to Them.

Please give your blessings to my son Seva Sundar, who is 6 years old now. We pray that one day, by the unlimited Mercy of Sri Guru Gauranga,we will be able to visit the Holy Dham, and have your personal darshan.

In eternal obeisances,

Your aspriring servant of the servant or the servant, Yasheswari d.d. , Seva Sundar The Netherlands

Applying the soothing salve of sambandha jnana, a proper acquaintance with the environment, my spiritual masters have opened my inner eye and thereby rescued me from the darkness of ig- norance, fulfilling my life’s aspirations. I offer my respects unto Sri Gurudeva.

vande gurun isa bhaktan isam isavatarakan tat prakasams ca tac chaktih krishna caitanya samjnakam

I worship the Supreme Lord Sri Chaitanya, who appears in six features as: instructing and initi- ating gurus; the Lord’s devotees, beginning with Srivasa Thakur; His avataras such as Advaita Acharyya; His prakasa, or full expansion, (Nityananda Prabhu); and His sakti, (Gadadhara Pan- dit).

This line continues today with Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math guru varga.

Many cannot hear about the soul, and even after hearing about it many cannot understand it, because it is hard to find a guru who is a genuine seer of the truth. Such a qualified guru is a great soul and is very rare. Only those who follow his teachings can realize the truth and become

expert in the science of God. Such disciples are also very rare. (Katha Upanishad 1.2.7)

Most cannot hear the words of their guru. Srila BR Sridhar Maharaj appointed Srila BS Govinda Maharaj and in the same Srila BS Go-

vinda Maharaj chosen Srila BN Acharyya Maharaj as Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math Successor President Sevaite Acharyya world wide mission.

The hidden treasure is with Srila B.N Acharyya Maharaj of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math who is Successor President Sevaite Acharyya world wide mission Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math.

tabe sarvajna kahe tare praptira upaya “Although being assured of his father’s treasure, the poor man cannot acquire this treasure by

such knowledge alone. Therefore the astrologer had to inform him of the means whereby he could actually find the treasure.

The hidden treasure was given to us sincere seekers with a clean heart. Srila B.S. Govinda Maharaj made it publicly known who would take care of the loyal family of world wide mission Sri Chait- anya Saraswat Math Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharyyas Maharaj’s name rang out in every corner of this material world and beyond to all corners of the universe’s.

‘bhimarula-baruli’ uthibe, dhana na paibe “The astrologer said, ‘The treasure is in this place, but if you dig toward the southern side, the

wasps and drones will rise, and you will not get your treasure.

We did not need astrologers to predicts the future, the Acharyya of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math world wide mission. Srila B.N. Acharyya Maharaj name was written everywhere for those with eyes and pure heart to see and know.

TEXT 133 ‘pascime’ khudibe, taha ‘yaksha’ eka haya

se vighna karibe,——dhane hata na padaya “‘If you dig on the western side, there is a ghost who will create such a disturbance that your

hands will not even touch the treasure.

Some were confused as if possessed by ghosts and tried to create disturbance to the simple heart- ed sincere Chaitanya Saraswat Math practitioners.

TEXT 134 ‘uttare’ khudile ache krishna ‘ajagare’

dhana nahi pabe, khudite gilibe sabare “‘If you dig on the northern side, there is a big black snake that will devour you if you attempt to

dig up the treasure.

Big black snake holes are everywhere; but with Srila B.N Acharyya Maharaj to guide us sincere souls and navigate us to our Chaitanya Saraswat Math Guru varga hidden treasure; we have hope.

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

I bow in deep reverence before You, Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj, and send to You my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for Your Appearance Day!

One year has passed from the date when I received initiation by Your mercy and the grace of God, and lived after that in a new quality and with a new name.

I have not had chance to visit India and meet You personally. I can’t expect direct association with you because the level of my spiritual position is too low.

As our Masters write and senior Vaisnavas say, association with Guru happens in the heart through the devotees also. I really hope on this guidance, trying to listen to Your will as the will from above.

As a year ago I was inspired by Your course of life, with the sudden transition from the school teacher into spiritual master. Also in this year, I was impressed by Your energy and enthusiasm contributing to the building of the magnificent temple in Ekachakra in spite of all obstacles.

May the mercy of Srila Gurudev, the mercy of Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Maharaj be with You far and wide!

I felt sadness and compassion after Your sincere and open appeal to the devotees about the internal conflict in the Mission. I was amazed by Your humility and commitment to the ideals of Vaisnavism.

I knew nothing about this situation, but I deeply convinced that the mercy of Srila Gurudev, who had entrasted the Mission to You and the Acharya Board, is so great that all difficulties will be overcome by love and sincerity.

I am still very low in my spiritual development, but Vaisnava society in our Lahta temple, here in St. Petersburg, is so sublime that I’m going further with trust. To believe, act, and dedicate the fruits of this actions through You to the Lord has become my credo.

I wish You good health and inspiration. I also cherish hope to hear or read Your spiritual instructions.

With sincere obeisances, Tunga Prema devi dasi St. Petersburg, Russia

All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga! Dear Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj,

Please, accept my humble obeisances and heartfelt congratulations on Your Appearance day!

A year has passed from the moment we first widely celebrated Your Sri Vyasa-puja and during this year you have done so much. It seemed impossible, but you have revealed this miracle. Thank you for building the new temple in Ekachakra and The Temple of Love and Affection in Nabadwip.

Here in Russia, due to the activities of Srila Avadhut Maharaj and his associates, the preaching of ideas of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu comes on a new unprecedented level. More young and seeking people attend our temple in Lahta. They are mainly attracted by the Internet preaching.

My fervent desire is to serve the devotees as much as I can. I agree to do any work, just to keep at least some connection with the devotees, otherwise ego and my restless mind will take me out of their society, which is equal to total darkness.

Humbly, Isharupa Devi Dasi St. Petersburg, Russia

All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga! Dear Srila Gurudeva,

Please, accept my lowest and humble obeisances! In this blessed day of Your Appearance, please accept my congratulations and gratitude for Your prayers and care.

I am a conditioned, worthless soul which cannot properly glorify You. If my eyes would be turned toward devotees, I’ll be safe.

Dear Srila Gurudeva, You are a limitless ocean of understanding of spiritual science. You have the highest spiritual qualities. With compassion for us, the most fallen, You are accepting us and consider us to be Your disciples. Affectionate touch of Your merciful hand can dry up the endless tears streaming from all the crying eyes. That day will be great when this unfortunate soul becomes aware of Your causeless mercy–mercy of Sri Gurudev!

I humbly bow my head to Your lotus feet, humbly willing to serve until Your grace will be for that!

Oh, Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj,

May our guru-parampara, Lord Sri Nityananda and Sriman Chaitanya Mahaprabhu send all Their blessings to You!

It seems to me, that September 28, is an unusually lucky day of the year for us, small jivas. September 28, in this blessed day You appeared, oh Master, Srila Acharya Maharaj, to save the world from chaos and ignorance by shedding on it the endless flow of your blessings!

I, the smallest grain of sand, rush in search of happiness in an age where Kali is the owner.

I want to experience great pleasure and satisfaction while swimming in a sea of selfish desires and goals.

I am like a sparing man saving his strength for mundane pleasure, not daring to spend it for devotional service.

I also know that happiness is attainable if just to prostrate before Your lotus feet, oh, Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj.

Yet, now my devotion to You, oh Master, is dedication in words only, rather than for real.

That’s why I beseech You, oh, Guru of all the Universe, to send to me, a contemptible one, a grain of Your grace.

May it be Your will to all! All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!

This is the way that we must try to serve. We must try to occupy our- selves in the particular service in which we have capacity and that is familiar to us. But primordi- al importance will be give to follow instructions. If the instruction come for to do service which we are not accoustomed or which is against our nature, then we must to prepare ourselves for that.” Jay, All Glories to the transcendental words that coming from the lotus mouth of Sri Gurudeva.

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

Dear Srila Acharya Maharaj, please accept my dandavat pranams at your lotus feet,

I am fully unqualified in every way to speak your glories, but on your holy appearance day I hope that somehow I can say something that pleases Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda-dev Goswami Maharaj and Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar dev Goswami Maharaj, I feel if I please them I will please you, and if I can please you I can please them. By your grace I hope continue my connection to my Diksa Gurudeva through your guidance and shelter.

I am insignificant and don’t have much capacity, but I at least have some faith that my greatest fortune rests in service to your lotus feet and to the Math and mission of Srila Gurudeva. I know Srila Gurudeva was very pleased with you, I know that you have done so much service for the Math and that I have been inspired by that service to

try and seek some engagement. Srila Govinda Maharaj has said of you: “I have my good wishes, affection and love for Sripad Bhakti Nirmal Acharyya Maharaj, and it is my last desire that each of the devotees and disciples from the Math and Mission will cooperate with him, as he has been rendering service to the Math untiringly, being completely loyal to me, and is always acting for the well-being of the Math. And this is my order and last desire.” I want to honor Srila Gurudeva’s

last order and fulfill his desire by finding some place in service to him through you. Gurudeva also said “Everyone should cooperate with affection.” and I wish to grow my affection for you through service.

I am begging for guidance and service, always desperately needing the proper adjustment that is required for a progressive spiritual life. I am incredibly rash and foolish, quarrelsome, ignorant and unintelligent, please always tell me when I am wrong and how to correct myself, and please accept what little I offer even though it

is so meager. My own mind attacks me but I am reminded of your words “Our weapons are kartals and mrdanga!” and that gives me great hope that in the company of the devotees even I can be engaged in Sankirtan of Sriman Mahaprabhu, fighting back my own mind by hearing and chanting the Holy Name in the association of the devotees led by you.

I wish my words were better, but I am a very fallen soul not able to properly think, speak or write. Please forgive my offenses.

Aspiring for service to the devotees,

All Glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga, Please accept my humble obeisance’s. Dear Acharyadev, My prayer is that this letter finds You happy and smiling.

First I must say to You and it is the main reason I am writing. Happy Appearance Day! The world was blessed the day You were born and our dear most Srila Gurudev has left us in in such wonderful hands as yours. We are so fortunate! I very much miss being in your presence and hearing Your glorious preaching. I do try to find whatever I can online that is being posted of Your preaching and I am so grateful for this as Your preaching is so much what I need. Every time I hear You speak it enlivens me, it inspires me, it somehow pulls me from this deep well of Maya that consumes me and it just makes me want to run toward Guru and Gauraga. When I hear You speak some Krishna Katha it feels as if You give me wings and I feel maybe I might just be able to fly out of this deep well of Maya that always seems to grab hold of me.

By Your divine Grace and Your strong yet such sweet tone Your words have this way of piercing into my heart and filling it with joy and they desperately make me want to serve however big or small my capacity may be. Your presence heals my soul and when I hear and see You I feel our dear most Gurudev. I do not know what I would do without You Acharya Maharaj, Acharyadev, I feel I might be very lost because of the fact that we can not physically be in Gurudev’s presence now. My only prayer is that I might be able to serve you in someway. You are so beautiful, pure, dedicated, enthusiastic and

full of Love of God. It is contagious and divine that I do truly believe that You and You alone are the Guru of the world now because Sripad Bakti Sundar Govindadev Goswami Maharaj gave You that position that was once His in this material plane.

He gave what was once His to You and we are so fortunate to have Your association and learn from You. Gurudev certainly left us in good hands and how could He not being who He is and we must all have faith in this. Gurudev loved You so much and you served Him so perfectly.

I also understand that Gurudev left us with an Acharya board of those who are most qualified to guide us and I know we need them very much and they help us all everyday, but I believe this in know way diminishes or takes away that He appointed You His Successor of this Math as he put it and I believe in my heart of hearts that This Math means The Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math this being The same Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math that the sun never sets on, that Gurudev would often remind us of.

Now I must say that I know I have no qualification and I am only speaking what is in my heart. I am a fallen soul practically drowning in this world full of maya and only by my Gurudev’s Mercy some how I got some fortune to be in the association of all of these wonderful Vaishnava’s. My only prayer is that I will be able to stay and get some service.

Please forgive my offence

Dearest Srila Acharyadev, Please accept my sincerest and most affectionate dandavat pranams.

I have absolutely no qualification to make any endeavor at glorification of your most magnanimous self, but I could never forgive myself were I to not at least offer you some small token of gratitude for all you have already given me.

It has only been nine short months since you accepted me as your disciple,

but these few months have already changed me and my life in ways I never would have thought possible before. Since that day, you have been teaching me to open my inner eye and see the real life that I was meant to lead, not this alluring imitation that was all I used to know and believe in.

There are no words that I could ever think of to do the feelings you inspire in me justice, and I am not so well-versed in scripture to be able to provide any appropriate quotes, but I beg you to nevertheless accept these foolish ramblings of mine as a humble attempt to please you and forgive any offenses I have made in this attempt..

I have already been so fortunate as to be granted entrance into the Holy Dham this past year, as well as receive your divine darshan in the Math, so I would just like to express what little I was able to appreciate with my mundane conception while being in your most gracious association.

During my stay in India, there were many tests and trials for the entirety of the Math, and due to my neophyte condition, I didn’t quite understand what was happening or what I should do. I felt the difficulties of the situation, as well as the difficulties of my own personal spiritual journey, but whenever I felt agitated or disturbed, I would see you so calm and happy through it all, totally unaffected by all of these seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Your very presence was so reassuring that any and all doubts in my mind and heart would be driven out at once. To this day, I need only think of your unwavering strength and peace, and I know everything will work out as it is meant to because it is all happening according to Krishna’s Will. Furthermore, I know that you are always here to help remind us of this fact and to guide us in the right direction. I know that as long as we try our

hardest to take shelter of your holy lotus feet, you will protect us and never let us wander too far from home.

Just as your Gurudev, the Sevaite-President-Acharya of our Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math, Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj, said, you are the ever vigilant, stalwart guardian of the current of pure devotion, and even with my terribly clouded vision, I can recognize that you are an unrelenting current of *nirmal bhakti*, *spotless* devotion, and that if I can just surrender myself to being swept up in this current, then I will be in the best position I could possibly be in.

I only pray to take shelter of you and your guidance, and to always be able to serve those who are dear to you.

I end with the words of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur, which have pierced my heart and echo within my soul as its very own sentiments. Were it not for your sweetest grace and mercy, I would still be deaf to my own soul’s cries.

gurudev! krpa bindhu diya…

Gurudeva, give to this servant just one drop of mercy. I am lower than a blade of grass. Give me all help. Give me strength. Let me be as you are, without desires or aspirations.

Give me energy so that I can properly give respect and honour to all. Then I shall be able to happily chant the Holy Name, and my offences will go away.

Oh my Lord! When will such mercy fall to this person. I am weak, bereft, and devoid of intelligence. Please allow me to be with you.

If you examine me, you will find no qualities. Your mercy is everything to me. If you are not merciful unto me, I can only weep, and I will not be able to maintain my life.

VANDE HAM SRI GURU Jaya Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj!

Dear Srila Acharya Maharaj… Please accept my most humble and respectful obeisances to Your holy lotus feet. You are Srila Govinda Maharaj’s most beloved disciple for very good reason! You are most dear to all the great devotees of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math… You are the strong link of Srila Guru Maharaj’s mission in service to Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur, Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Gandharva Govinda Sundarjiu, Srila Rupa Goswami and Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu!

Chosen by Srila Govinda Maharaj as His most fit representative… You are eternally worshipable to all sincere Vaisnavas. Chosen by Srila Guru Maharaj to carry the high-flying flag of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math… You sing the divine glories of our beloved Gurus and offer the world the greatest treasure!

You stalwartly guard that pure current of Srila Govinda Maharaj & Srila Guru Maharaj’s krpa. Making You, Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj, the best of Acharyas! As Nityananda Prabhu carried the vani and krpa of Sri Gauranga… You carry the pure vani and krpa of Srila Govinda Maharaj.

The pure devotion flowing through every thought, word and action of Your devotional heart carries the identical exclusive devotional current as Srila Rupa Goswami’s pure devotional service to Mahabhava, Srimati Radharani.

Remembering Your super energetic mood of sudha bhakti gives this poor soul hope on this special day and everyday. Celebrating Your holy birthday today (and tomorrow) feeling Your mercy… I’m thanking you again and again Maharaj!

Oh Srila Acharya Maharaj… Your presence makes this dark world feel auspicious to me! You are really my only hope and only spiritual shelter in this crazy world we live in! I am personally deeply grateful to Srila Govinda Maharaj for revealing Your Grace to us! Jaya Srila Gurudev!

Oh Srila Acharyadev! Imagining Your infinite, exalted entourage and place of bhajan completely boggles my mind! Srila Govinda Maharaj told me when I first came to Nabadwip Dham that, “Every atom of Nabadwip Dham

is distributing the whole of Vrndaban.” . . . saying it twice so I would get it clearly – “Every atom of Nabadwip is distributing the whole of Vrndaban!” Nabadwip Dham, Koladwip is You’re eternal domain! “aparadha bhanjan-pat”, “Gupta Govardhan”, “Kola Parvata”…

Guru, shastra and sadhu all reveal Your zone as the most beautiful and merciful place in all creation! You are serving the highest plane of Reality the Beautiful! Standing with Srila Guru Maharaj and Srila Govinda Maharaj teaching the path of: “matala harijan kirtana range pujala raghupath gaurava bhange”

Giving the pure kirtan and bhakti seva of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in the exclusive line of Sri Rupa Saras- wati.

Srila Acharya Maharaj… please be merciful to this fallen soul and grant me shelter near Your Holy Lotus Feet. Praying for more opportunity to serve the devotees, cows and Deities of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math under Your guidance. Again and again offering my dandabat pranams!

Your humble aspiring servant… Haryyananda Das

Aim Guruve Namah! Dearest Srila Acharyya Maharaja!

We are so blessed to more than ever feel a part of our Sri Chaitanya Math devotional family. And we are overjoyed to be able to honor your Appearance Day with a small devotional offering.

So many times, our hearts go out for relief, dispensed by the pure Devotees’ sublime association. Then, we may nourish our souls by engaging in some small service, such as hearing and remembering. We pray to be dedicated to this type of sweet service more and more throughout our humble lives.

If Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Gandharva Govinda Sundar continue to be merciful to us, may we be blessed to be in Their Divine Presence again someday in person, and be offered the opportunity to serve in the most blessed single spot on Earth, in my humble opinion, namely Sri Gupta Govardhan, Nabadwip Dham.

Dear Gurudeva, please accept our dandavat pranam at Your Lotus Feet, We want to wish You a wonderful appearance day together with all the devotees. After our Guru Maharaj had left this world, we were in shock. We were in the childlike illusion that our Guru Maharaj would always stay with us. And even though we knew with our heads He would return one day to the eternal World, not being able to see our beloved Guru Maharaja anymore is very painful. But by His great mercy He has appointed Your Divine Self as His successor, and we are very happy about that, because we have seen Your enormous dedication to Srila Guru Maharaj. With Your enthusiasm and determi- nation, joyous mood and wonderful smile You will definitely continue to inundate this world with the mes- sage of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. We pray to You that our illusion will be taken away from us and that we may come to a proper Seva mentality. That all outside matters will not affect our desire to go forward on this path. That we may be able to recognize Sri Guru and Sri Krishna everywhere. Somehow or other we hope to be of some use to You and not be any burden.

Congratulations to You, Srila Acharya Maharaj!

With all my heart I send to You my congratulations.

I still remember Your lecture of 2003, in Lahta, Russia,

when You said that even if You would lose everything–

You would not leave the Krishna Mission.

These words deeply sunk into my heart.

When I heard that Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Maharaj

appointed You as his successor, I was very glad.

That is very good that He chose You.

Better candidate could not be.

I am writing this from my heart, sincerely.

Sorry if something is wrong.

Sincerely,
