100 Years
in Celebration

Birth Centennial Annual of Om Vishnupad 108 Sri Srimad Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj, Acharya of Sree Chaitanya Gaudiya Math (Regd.)

Mundane relations are very transitory and all jivas reap the fruits of their own actions. As long as they have the fruits of their actions in this world, they remain in this world. When the fruits of actions end, they are to leave this world and go to a separable place. That last day may come by any kind of mishap - maybe accident, fever, heart disease, etc. We shall have to tolerate that for which there is no remedy.

    Volcanic Energy

    Srila Gurudev sings the glories of his Gurudev, "Srila Gurudeva’s single-minded allegiance to his spiritual master is an example to be followed by everyone. Srila Gurudeva’s entire being—his meditation, his thoughts, his japa, everything—was fully devoted for fulfilling Srila Prabhupada’s desires. Srila Prabhupada generally sent Srila Gurudeva as the advance man to do the groundwork for all his big service events. He had complete faith that whatever task he gave him would be carried out to completion. Srila Prabhupada used the words ‘Volcanic Energy’ for Srila Gurudev, witnessing his unflinching resolve, application and success in all endeavors entrusted to him."

      Srila Param Gurudev’s Last Instructions

      In the Gaudiya sampradaya, in the lineage of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, in the religious tradition of devotion to Krishna, dedicated devotees worship Krishna exclusively. If you put other gods and goddesses on the same level as Krishna, you are making a mistake. Don’t forget this. Not all gods and goddesses are equal, nor all avataras of Viṣṇu.

      Srila Prabhupada’s Confidential Associate

      Srila Prabhupada said to Srila Paramgurudev (Srila Bhakti Dayita Madhav Goswami Maharaj), “Your service to your spiritual master and all its details are your responsibility alone. You should be grateful if anyone else contributes to it in any way. Krishna’s ‘major domo’ is Srimati Radhika. She knows that She alone is entirely responsible for Krishna’s pleasure. If anyone comes forward to help Her, She is filled with gratitude.”

      Bhagavat Tattva

      This Is the English translation of the transcript of Srila Param Gurudev's Harikatha delivered on the fifth day (4th April, 1974) of the religious assembly held on the auspicious occasion of the appearance of Sri Sri RadhaMadhava Jiyu at Sree Chaitanya Gaudiya Math, Chandigarh. Srila Param Gurudev, vividly and elaborately, explains the ontological aspects of Supreme Lord and gives a clear understanding on the difference between the viashnava-darshan of deity worship and the thought process of idolators who consider the deity as a lump of matter.

      The Necessity of Monasteries and Temples

      This is an essay originally penned in 1963; translated from Sri Chaitanya-vani, 7th year, Volume II, Page 26-30. In the initial part of the essay, Srila Paramgurudeva emphasizes on the utmost necessity of understanding the real identity of an object or a person to realize and understand its usefulness. Before narrating the necessity and purpose of monasteries and temple, he first vividly explains about the real identity and intrinsic nature of living entities (jiva) and about their actual requirement.

        Financial Difficulty

        We are to accept that which is congenial and give up that which is not congenial for worship of Krishna; we should have firm faith that He is the only sustainer and protector; we are to dedicate ourself totally to the Lotus Feet of Krishna; and be humble by giving up all false material egos.

        Just by Remembering Him, One Becomes Free From Millions of Births

        Mahārāja also explained that only when a pure devotee is giving prasādam, whether or not it was formally offered to Kṛṣṇa with mantras and everything. If you do that you offer the formal mantras and go near the altar and all that, you still don’t know if Kṛṣṇa has eaten it. But when a pure devotee hands prasādam, you know Kṛṣṇa has eaten it even if it wasn’t offered to him, it was just handed to the pure devotee.
