His Respect to All, Even the Disrespectful

Every year, Śrīla Tirtha Gosvāmī Mahārāja would go to Puri during Śrī Jagannātha ratha-yatra along with many devotees. Once I was also present when he arrived and we went to welcome him. But one of his younger sannyāsī godbrothers did not go to welcome him

Mahārāja noticed his godbrother's absence and personally went to see him, offered him obeisances, and inquired about his well-being. This incident shows Mahārāja's humility.

Mahāprabhu says, tṛṇād api sunīcena taror api sahiṣṇunā amāninā mānadena kīrtanīyaḥ sadā hariḥ. And these qualities are present in Mahārāja. Only such persons are eligible for kṛṣṇa-kirtana.


—Tridaṇḍī Svāmī Śrīmad Bhakti Saudha Jitendriya Mahārāja
