Birth Centennial Annual of Om Vishnupad 108 Sri Srimad Bhakti Ballabh Tirtha Goswami Maharaj, Acharya of Sree Chaitanya Gaudiya Math (Regd.)
After passing through eighty lakhs of species, a conditioned soul luckily gets the precious human birth. God has given discriminating power in human birth to know what is good and what is bad, what is eternal and non-eternal, etc. Human beings are eligible to worship the Supreme Lord, Who is All-Existence, All-Knowledge and All-Bliss.

Śrī Abhirāma Ṭhākura (Śrī Rāma Dāsa)
Śrī Abhirāma Ṭhākura was a very vigorous and powerful acārya. He engaged in preaching on the orders of Lord Nityānanda Prabhu and saved many atheists and people opposed to the vaiṣṇava religion. He possessed tremendous spiritual power. The atheists trembled whenever they saw him. He was intoxicated as though he had been possessed by Nityānanda Prabhu, and his enchanting mercies are famed throughout the world.

Curing the Fever of Material Existence
Here, with different evidences from scriptures Srila Sant Maharaj explains that only by surrendering unto the Supreme Lord one can remain aloof from maya. The living entity becomes so influenced by the modes of material nature that he considers sense gratification to be the most desirable goal, even though it brings him only distress. Our state of bondage has existed since time without beginning, and is quite impossible for human intelligence to undo. It can be unraveled only by associating with sadhus, realized souls. Even a moment’s association with a sadhu can award all perfection.

Remembering Srila Bhakti Kumuda Santa Gosvami Maharaj
I got the opportunity to listen to his kirtans at Sree Gauranga Math, Kesiadi. He sang the kirtan 'Gopīnāth, mama nivedana śuno'. He knew all the kirtans by heart and his performance of nritya(dance)-kirtan would leave the audience spellbound. I have not seen anybody perform kirtan like him ever, for hours together. His voice was mesmerizing. Also, he was a very powerful speaker.

Śrī Vaṁśīvadanānanda Ṭhākura
The gopis praised the good fortune of Kṛṣṇa’s flute, for He was able to constantly drink the nectar of Kṛṣṇa’s lips. Everything in Vraja is spiritual, i.e., conscious and so the flute could take human form as Śrī Vaṁśīvadanānanda Ṭhākura.

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.
