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.

Places Visited by Srila Param Gurudev have become Dham

Srila Gurudev first narrates about the fortune of the places visited by Srila Paramgurudev. His words are the expression of the deep connection he has with his Gurudev. He also narrates about how Srila Praramgurudev served his Gurudev, Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Thakur Prabhupad.

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.”

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.
