Sushila devi dasi

Sushila devi dasiDear devotees and friends of the Ashram,

Please join us for the Divine Appearance celebration of Sachchidananda Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur in San Jose and Santa Cruz on Wednesday the 14th of September. Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur was the great founder of the modern Krishna Consciousness movement. He gave so many invaluable gifts to the people of this age, including literature and songs, the revelation of the holy appearance place of Sri Gaurangadev, and much more. We hope that you can join us in the evening beginning at 6 pm.

Yours in the Lord’s Service,
Sushila Devi Dasi    Bhaktivinod

Appearance of

Sachchidananda Srila Bhaktivinod Thakur
Wednesday, September 14, 2016

San Jose ~ 6 pm
Santa Cruz ~ 6 pm

 

Srila Sachchidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakur, the nineteenth century pioneer of Krishna consciousness, was born in 1838 in Bengal. He worked tirelessly to preserve the spiritual tradition and literature of India….

Selected references to this day, on the Math’s websites:

thumbAudio. Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur’s Appearance Day, 1981. Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj tells us how Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakur by the order of Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur took Gaura Kishor Das Babaji as Gurudev formally, but knowing Bhakti Vinod Thakur was his real guru from the internal consideration. He was filled with Bhakti Vinod Thakur in the spiritual sense. He installed many Maths where the name of the Deities were Vinod Vilas, Vinod Ram, Vinod Ananda, etc. He knew that his attempt to approach Radha Govinda and Mahaprabhu was inconceivable without Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur’s intervention. He saw Radharani and Gadadhar in Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur – the highest ideal of Guru Tattva, in Gaura lila, Gadadhar; and in Krishna lila, Radharani. He also told once that if we rise a little higher and look, we shall find Radharani in Gurudev. The source of the grace of the guru is coming from the original source of service, so he used to see Srila Bhakti Vinod Thakur under that light. 12 September 1981: 20+ minutes, 4.7 MB mp3 audio
