 Dear Śrīla Gurudeva Bhakti Vallabha Tīrtha Gosvāmī Mahārāja, please accept my humble obeisances! Śrī Basu Rāmananda and his father, Śrī Satyarāja Khān, who were originally from the village of Kulīn-Grām, once asked Śrīman Mahāprabhu about the duties of a householder Vaiṣṇava. In response, Mahāprabhu stated that serving Kṛṣṇa, serving the Vaiṣṇavas, and continuously chanting the Holy Name are the sole duties of a householder Vaiṣṇava. Upon hearing this, Satyarāja inquired: "Service to Kṛṣṇa and chanting the Holy Names in saṅkīrtana are easy to understand, but if one does not know how to recognize a Vaiṣṇava, serving them will be very difficult. O Prabhu, who is a Vaiṣṇava? What are his primary and secondary qualities? It is my greatest desire to hear this from Your divine lips." In response to Satyarāja's question, the beloved king of devotees, Śrīman Mahāprabhu, described the qualities of Vaiṣṇavas over three years—starting with the neophyte (kaniṣṭha), then the intermed...

Dear Shrila Guru Maharaj,  I pay my obeisances at Your Lotus Feet again and again. Today is the Navami of the waning moon of that very month in which You appear. It will happen when the Moon is on the 9th day of waxing. Feeling the urge to concentrate on this approaching event, I read Your hari-katha. While describing the Pastimes of Shri Krishna in Shrimad Bhagavatam, Shukadeva Gosvami says that one should never think of Krishna as an ordinary boy going on a picnic. In this case, one may imagine that anyone can also easily join Him. Do not forget that He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, says Shukadeva Gosvami.  Why is He the Supreme Personality of Godhead? He is everywhere, All-pervading, Omnipotent, He is far, far beyond this world—transcendental. His Abode, His Friends are also transcendental.  Dear Srila Gurudeva, on the eve of your Vyasa Puja, I request you: Please forgive me for not really understanding that you are an extraordinary person, not of this world, ...

 Dear Guru Mahārāj, Please accept my humble obeisances to Your lotus feet. All Glories to the Day of Your Appearance! Your glory is incomprehensible— its radiance is limitless. It is like a precious gem, revealing countless facets of Your love, mercy, beauty, sincerity, humility, and sweetness. Even to touch this glory is possible only by Your causeless mercy. I am not worthy of even a drop of this mercy, yet You are causelessly compassionate to all living beings, even to someone as insignificant as myself. I am forever indebted to You, and this position is an inconceivable fortune for me. You always sang kīrtanas and spoke harikathā with the deepest devotion and love, from the depths of Your heart. These thunderous yet supremely sweet kīrtanas and harikathā eradicate anarthas from hearts and fill them with transcendental amṛta.  I keep the memory in my heart of the happiest moments of my life—18 days of Your darśanas in Goalpāra Dhām, the place of Your appearance, in July 201...
