Śrī Gaṅgāmātā Gosvāmīni

Devotees of Kṛishna may be born in any race, in any caste, or indeed in either sex. They are to be considered the best of all and worshipable by all. Ganga Mata Gosvāmīni is a perfect example of that. There are many examples of women who attained the supreme achievement of pure devotional service to the Lord, such as the wives of the Vedic Brahmins in Dvapara yuga who due to their pure bhakti ignored the orders of their husbands and went forward to serve Kṛishna.

Śrī Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa

Śrī Baladeva Vidyābhūṣaṇa Prabhu was ordered by Śrī Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura to go to Jaipur where he prayed to Rūpa Gosvāmī’s Govindajī deity for the authorization to write a commentary on the Vedanta-sutra. He then composed the Govinda-bhāṣya and took it to Galta where he defeated the other sampradāyas in debate, preserving the reputation of the Gaudiya school. After this episode, he was given the title Vidyābhūṣaṇa.

Writing Govinda-bhāṣya

By the blessings of Sri Guru, Vaishnavas and the Lord, even the impossible becomes possible. Baladeva Vidyabhushan Prabhu undertook the writing of comments to the 500 sutras of the Brahmasutra with the subtle aspects of the divine aesthetics as revealed in the pure devotional line of Gaudiya Vaishnavas philosophy, completing it in the limited time given to him. When he went to Galta, the scholars of the other sampradayas were astonished to hear his commentary, which has the highest divine sentiment.

Harikatha on Ganga-puja Tithi

Srila Guru Maharaj gives utmost importance to remembering and praying for the grace of vaishnavas on their appearance and disappearance days. In this Harikatha he first narrates about the descent of Sri Ganga Devi in this world and then sings the glories of Sri Ganga Mata Goswamini and Sri Baladev Vidyabhusan Prabhu.
