"Purushottam Month is a very auspicious month—just like niyom-seva, kartik-vrata, like Kartik month and Damodar month. This is a very auspicious month. At this time, all Gaudiya Vaishnavs follow this Purushottam month, they show their respect for Purushottam month from their hearts."

(Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj)

His Divine Grace mentions that the holy prayers of Sri Siksastakam can be sung during this month:

My Joy and My Plight
"I have never wanted this—that I would sit in one place and everybody would come, pay obeisance to me. Never. I want to go and chant and dance everywhere, preach in the villages—this is my life. It is impossible for me, it is actually an austerity for me, but I have to keep Gurudev's word."

His Divine Grace teaching the proper mood of observing Sri Vyasa Puja of one's Sri Guru when speaking about Srila B.S. Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj's divine appearance festival:

Gurudev's Vyasa Puja Is Coming
"Gurudev's lila is going on, but only the fortunate souls can see it, that is why we must engage everybody in service on his appearance day. Whatever capacity we have—in kaya, mana, vakya, body, mind, and speech—we must serve his appearance day, his birth day."

"Guru is the divine messenger of immortal hope and joy in this mortal and miserable world. His advent is the most auspicious and happy event to the suffering animation and can be compared to the rising of the morning star that can guide the traveller lost in the desert. A gentle touch of Sri Guru's merciful hand can wipe away the incessant tears from all weeping eyes. Oh the day when this poor soul realises the causeless grace of Sri Gurudev."

(Srila B.R. Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj, Sri Guru and His Grace)

Dear Devotees, Friends, and Well-Wishers,

Please accept our humble obeisance at your holy feet.

Bowing down at your holy feet, we would like to extend a humble and earnest invitation to your holy self to join the grand celebration of the holy appearance day of Sri Gurupadpadma Om Vishnupad Jagad-Guru Sri Srimad Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj that mercifully manifests this year on 17 October 2020 (Saturday).

Although, due to the current government restrictions, it is not certain yet as to where the main celebration shall take place, the festival of Hari-kirtan, Hari-katha, and prasad-seva will be held in every temple, house and jubilant heart where Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math is established, and we shall feel blessed to have your holy association on this holy day.

As every year, this supremely auspicious day also offers us an opportunity of special service in the form of submitting written Sri Vyasa Puja Homage (heart-felt prayers, worshipful glorification, earnest expressions of honour, reverence, and adoration) unto the holy lotus feet of His Divine Grace. In this regard, we welcome all devotees and well-wishers to submit their offerings by 13 October the latest to be able to present it to His Divine Grace timely.

Taking your feet dust on our heads, we humbly pray that this supremely worshippable appearance day of Sri Gurupadpadma, celebrated with much joy and grandeur by the fortunate souls throughout the entire manifest creation, may pass auspiciously in Hari-katha, Hari-kirtan, and Hari-seva that are so dear to the hearts of Sri Guru, Vaishnavs, and the Lord.

His Divine Grace requests all the devotees and well-wishers worldwide:

"You can make guru-puja, it is not a problem, but do not make any festival this year because if you make a festival, there will be a large gathering. Be very careful with this festival. I am very concerned about it. Here also, so many branches are making a festival and inviting me, but I will not go—I am also not making any big festival because of the covid pandemic situation. I can meet and talk with you all on that day virtually, I can say something, that will be good in this way. Do not worry, you have time to make a festival next year, but in this pandemic situation it is not necessary to make a big festival. This is my request for everybody. It will be good for you."

Please note that every year, on this supremely worshippable occasion, we collect written Sri Vyasa Puja Homage (heart-felt prayers, worshipful glorification, earnest expressions of honour, reverence, and adoration) unto the holy lotus feet of His Divine Grace and hand it to His Divine Grace on the day of His Vyasa Puja. Therefore, we welcome all devotees and well-wishers who wish to submit their prayer offerings, to do so by 13-14 October the latest to be able to present it to His Divine Grace timely.

Your Fortune, My Fortune
"You have assembled here today for this occasion to give mercy to a fallen soul like myself. I feel humbled and very fortunate. It is very difficult to get the darshan of Vaishnavs. When I am giving initiation, do you know what I am remembering?..."

Be Conscious and Cautious
"To live eternally in Vraja, you must enter a relationship with your Guru, after that if you practise, you can understand your destination. How can we make Gurudev happy? If we can understand it step by step, then we will be able to understand the main teaching."

Greatness Is Not Measured by Cloth
"Religion means we must bring the jiva souls to Krishna consciousness. Gurudev gave this duty to me, and this is not only my responsibility, it is your responsibility too. Gurudev said, 'One does not become a sannyasi just by wearing a sannyasi's clothes.'"

Surrender: Eye-Opener
"'Do you not know who this is? Can you not recognise Him? He is the Guru of all, He is Lord Krishna Himself! He has come to this world to awaken the souls. He took sannyas from Keshav Bharati.' Sarvabhauma Bhattacharya did not believe it."

Mercy Means Anugatya
"It is necessary to always think about the order of your Guru. Guru's mercy means following the order of the Guru—if you follow the order of your Guru, then you get his mercy. You can go to the market, buy chanting beads and chant on them—but it is not the same."

Neither Cry nor Laugh
"You must ask yourself first, 'Do you love yourself or your Guru more? Do you love the Lord or yourself more?' Examine yourself. How long will you sleep in the lap of Maya? How long will you choke and struggle in the waters of Maya?"

Pure Current
"This Name was chanted in many villages, but with offence, and Bhaktivinod Thakur, holding the current of devotion, preached the pure Holy Name to this world just as Maharaj Bhagirath brought the Ganges to this world."

PHOTO ALBUM

In honour of Srila Madhva Acharya:

"Madhva Acharya also stayed here with his disciples for some time as a resident of the Nabadwip Dham. Gauranga-sundar mercifully revealed His most enchanting form to Madhva Acharya in a dream. Smiling, Gaurachandra said to Madhva Acharya, 'Everyone knows that you are My eternal servant. When I appear in Nabadwip, I will follow your lineage. Now, carefully eradicate illusionism and false scriptures from all regions, and establish the glory of the Lord's Deity form. Later, I will develop your pure conception.' Saying this, Gaurachandra disappeared. Madhva Acharya awoke and then fainted. Madhva Acharya then cried, wondering, 'Will I ever see that beautiful golden form again?' Then a divine voice came from the clear sky, 'Serve Me secretly, and you will come to Me.' Madhva Acharya became resolute and defeated the mayavadis in all directions."
