By Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur

The dust of pure devotees' feet is favourable to devotion. Serving the devotees is the supreme fulfilment and the root of the creeper of divine love.

I carefully observe the holy days related to Madhava. They are the mother of devotion. With great adoration, I embrace the abode of Krsna as my own.

In the company of loving devotees, I behold all the places my Gaurasundar visited during His Pastimes.

My heart always begs for the opportunity to hear the sound of the mrdanga. Hearing the kirtan prescribed by Sri Gaurasundar, my heart dances with joy.

Beholding the Deity forms of the Divine Couple, I feel the greatest joy. By honouring prasad, I overcome the entire material illusion.

On days when I see devotional service taking place in my home, I feel that Goloka has manifested there. Seeing the Ganges, the nectar from the Lord's feet, my happiness has no limit.

Seeing Tulasi Devi soothes my soul, for I know she pleases Madhava. Honouring sak, Sri Gaurasundar's favourite, I consider my life successful.

Whatever Bhakti Vinod obtains that is favourable to Krsna's service, he accepts every day with the greatest joy.
