Pave Your Road
to Holy Dham
'If you want to get relief, you must take shelter at the holy feet of the
guru, Vaishnav and the Lord. There is no other way. Chant the Holy
Name of the Lord, think about the Lord. Practise Krishna consciousness. I do
not have anything else to tell you. Always remember what I have told you,
always speak about Krishna.'

Surrender and
Practise
"You must do properly the service that gurudev has given you. You must
listen to what gurudev says and realise, "I want to do the service
that gurudev has given me, I will do it." If you do something out of
your own accord – if you follow what your mind says – it will be

(2.5) PRESENT POSITION, BRIGHTEST PROSPECT
'When we walk along a path we may step on many blades of durvasa grass, but
when that same kind of grass is offered to the Lord we take that upon our
head. We cannot even think to crush it beneath our feet. Why? We cannot think
such a thing because we know it has been offered to Krishna therefore it has
assumed a transcendental position. So Krishna says, “If you can do everything
for My satisfaction then you will have no debt, and furthermore you will be
benefited even while in this mundane plane.” This is the main principle to be
followed for our living in this world.'

Srila Krishna
Das Babaji Maharaj: 'My Close Friend'
From the holy lotus mouth of Srila B.R. Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj: 'Our
connection was something above the conscious area of our experience, it was a
causeless connection, and we had much in common in many ways. I met him first
in 1926 or so. I found him shortly after I joined Gaudiya Math...'
Today in the calendar:
Krishna Panchami. Disappearance of Srila Krishnadas Babaji Maharaj.
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj: "Even if you do
not know anything about the Vaishnav mentioned in the calendar, you must
still give them 'jay' on this day. We must always remember disappearance and
appearance days of all Vaishnavs. If we can remember such personalities, such
great souls, it will bring a great benefit to our spiritual life."
"We should always check the calendar, and when we see some dates mentioned
there, even if we do not know anything about the Vaishnav or events mentioned
there, we can at least give 'jay' to them—that also brings some good sukriti,
some purification to us. Seeing the calendar and taking devotees' names early
in the morning, from the beginning of the day, is very good for all
devotees."

(2.4) ADJUSTING TO HIS ACCOUNT
'At the present time we cannot do pure service and we cannot chant Krishna’s
Name properly. For example, we know from Guru, Vaishnav, and
sastra that Krishna and Krishna-nama are the same; why then do
we not receive the result of Krishna Himself appearing within our hearts when
we chant Krishna-nama? We must consider this point. The result of
chanting real Krishna-nama is that Krishna will appear in the heart,
but Krishna is not appearing within our hearts, therefore we know we are not
engaging in real Krishna-nama. Therefore, in our present position we
are in the stage of practising, and this is also true for other forms of
service. By practising here, the force of our habit will put us in good
standing. If we practise chanting the Hare Krishna maha-mantra, then
even while sleeping, that Hare Krishna mantra will appear within us.
If we practise doing service, then also while sleeping we shall think of
service.'

'Overcome with strong bouts of divine love surging through Him and becoming
unconscious of the world around Him, He dances madly and chants
kirtan; the tears streaming incessantly from His eyes flood His body,
the colour of molten gold and tall as the mount Sumeru, His clothes, the
colour of the newly risen sun, and the earth in all fourteen directions
around Him; He glows as He chants, ‘Krishna! Krishna!’, shouts jumbled up
words and relishes various postures and behaviours (roaring with laughter,
etc.) under the influence of divine love – I am singing in praise of this
beautiful Lord Sri Gauranga-sundar, a worshippable Deity of divine love.'

that we could all come together and show some appreciation on this day.'

'From the very beginning of our coming to Srila Guru Maharaj he taught us the
glories of Srila Govinda Maharaj. On his own Vyasa-puja day, the day after

'Everywhere in Srila Guru Maharaj’s books and Srila Swami Maharaj’s books
there is advice and descriptions for our benefit, and if you can capture the

Today in the calendar:
Purnima. Vasanta Rasa of Sri Krishna. Rasa Yatra of Sri Sri Balaram.
Appearance of Srila Vamsi-vadananda Thakur and Srila Syamananda
Prabhu.
His Divine Grace Om Vishnupad Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj: "Even if you do
not know anything about the Vaishnav mentioned in the calendar, you must
still give them 'jay' on this day."
In honour of Sri Syamananda
Prabhu:
"Srinivas Acharya, Narottam Das Thakur, and Shyamananda Prabhu
started for Vrindavan to have the darshan of Srila Rupa Goswami, Srila
Sanatan Goswami, Srila Gopala Bhatta Goswami, Srila Raghunatha Bhatta Goswami
and others who were there.
"When they were only a few miles away from Mathura, they heard that Sanatan
Goswami had passed away. People were saying that that great Sanatan Goswami
who was the prime minister and who had captured all people in the whole of
Vrindavan within his heart—that Sanatan had passed away, a great disaster for
the country. What to do then? Rupa, Raghunath, Jiva and Gopala Bhatta were
still living, so Srinivas, Narottam, and Shyamananda dragged somehow on.
When they reached Mathura, they heard that Srila Rupa Goswami had left the
night before that. Sanatana left on an ashari purnima, and Srila Rupa Goswami
left after that on next dvadasi. They thought, "What hopeless and cursed
souls we are! We have come so near, yet we could not see those two generals
of Mahaprabhu!" Mahaprabhu sent two of his generals to Vrindavan to carry out
His orders and establish the kingdom of the Gaudiya Vaishnavs there... So,
they dragged their bodies to Vrindavan and came to Govinda Mandir. When they
reached it, they found that an evening aroti was going on there in a very
great splendour. There was a great crowd there—Srila Rupa Goswami had just
passed away, so with that feeling of high bereavement, everybody was chanting
his name madly. Srinivas, Narottam, and Shyamananda Prabhu were there, but
Srinivas Acharya could not stand that sort of sentimental wave—he was
standing aside and he fainted. When he regained his consciousness, he saw
Srila Jiva Goswami with some of his followers...
In this way, Srinivas Acharya, Narottam Das Thakur, and Shyamananda Prabhu
stayed in Vrindavan for one year—Srinivas Acharya took initiation from
Gopala Bhatta, Narottam Thakur from Lokanath Goswami, and Shyamananda Prabhu
from Srila Jiva Goswami Prabhu..."
(Srila B.R. Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj)
"Sri Gauri Das Pandit is one of the twelve cowherd friends of Krishna in
Vrindavan. Shyamananda Prabhu was his disciple and followed him in the
sakhya-bhav (transcendental mood of friendship with the Lord), however when
he later entered the association of Srila Jiva Goswami Prabhu, who was a
follower of Sri Rupa Goswami, he exhibited madhura-bhav (transcendental mood
of paramour relationship with the Lord). Shyamananda Prabhu was promoted to
the manjari group by the mercy of Lalita Devi. Later, Shyamananda Prabhu went
to preach with Srila Narottam Das Thakur and Srila Srinivas Acharya. Srila
Narottam Das Thakur preached in Bangladesh, Srila Srinivas Acharya Prabhu
preached in the north, and Srila Shyamananda Prabhu preached in Midnapore.
They preached and protected our line, Rupa Goswami's line, the main
conception."

'Captivated by and afflicted with an intense feeling of separation, He runs
swiftly to the simha-dvara gate of Lord Jagannathdev’s holy temple;
the next moment He falls down on the spot, His holy figure transformed into
