We should worship the lotus feet of Sri Guru every day. According to Gurudeva, the only day we don’t worship the Guru is the day we stop breathing. By associating with sadhus (saints) we attain the highest perfection, which consists of self-realizing our transcendental form and establishing a loving relationship with Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Radha Krishna.

My Gurudeva was born in East Bengal, in what is now called Bangladesh. In his youth, he went to Parikrama of Navadvipa Dhama and on that occasion surrendered completely at the lotus feet of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Prabhupada. Srila Vamana Gosvami Maharaja’s brahmacari name was Sajjan Sevaka and his childhood name was Santosh. Although Srila Vamana Gosvami Maharaja is an eternal associate of Srimati Radhika, he is teaching us, in his sadhaka form, how a faithful disciple surrenders...

The fruit of listening to hari-katha is a taste of the chanting of the holy names. The description of the gross body and the soul. The three gunas of maya. When we do service to Maya, she is never satisfied. We have to do krishna-bhajana. Have guru-nishtha. Guru will take you out of the prison of this material world. The exemplary guru-seva of Arunik and Upamanyu. Ekalavya is the example of incorrect guru-seva. Verse: dhyāna-mūlaṃ guror mūrtiḥ… (Sri Guru Stotra). The story of how a disciple...

Today is Gurudeva’s Vyasa-puja maha-mahotsava. The barometer of bhakti is the degree of your devotion to the guru. Srila Bhaktiprajnana Keshava GM used to give Vedanta darshana. Narahari Prabhu was called the mother of Gaudiya Matha and Narahari Toran by Srila Bhaktiprajnana Keshava GM. When he was asleep and could not chant the holy names, he used to tie his hair to the wall so that he would not fall asleep. Snigdha-shishya is a disciple who has no duplicity and hypocrisy in his heart...
