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? mahaudaryya-lilamaya sri-chaitanya-charanatma-niksepasya paramatvam— patrapatra-vicharanam na kurute na svam param viksate deyadeya-vimarsako na hi na va kala-pratiksah prabhuh sadyo yah sravaneksana-pranamana-dhyanadina durllabham 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!

Nabadwip Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math ✴ ✴ ✴ 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.

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. Kaushalya dd. ✴ ✴ ✴ 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 ✴ ✴ ✴ All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga!

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.
