Autobiography of Srila
B.N. Acharya Maharaj To try to describe unlimited glories of a Vaishnav is a very challenging
task, and because the nature of Guru is beyond what we can grasp with our
material intelligence and beyond what we can perceive with our material
senses, it makes the task even harder. Presented here is an autobiographical
discourse of His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj, the
current Acharya and Sevaite of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math.
PHOTO ALBUM The photographs presented in this dedicated photo album are only a few
glimpses into a particle of the service and contribution that His Divine
Grace has made. May they however become a source of inspiration for the

Preaching:
Our Duty and Very Life
"A devotee's life is preaching—chanting the Holy Name, sravanam,

that is your spiritual life."

Proper Adjustment: Entering Viddhi-Marga
"We must realise that we are very unqualified. It is necessary to have proper

Headstrong and
Prudent

can easily pass the exam. But if you are sitting in front of the book
thinking about other things in your mind, then how will you learn
anything?"
