My Master’s Voice

Vrinda Devi Dasi: All those who came in contact with Srila Gurudev, Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev Goswami Maharaj, across the world or at home in India, could clearly see his magnanimity, beauty and kindness. To try and describe his charm and affection feels like…a dwarf trying to touch the moon…

The Momentous Hour of Need

Sripad Vaishnav Maharaj gave a wonderful talk on Srila Govinda Maharaj’s Divine Appearance day in 2007. Here are some excerpts from that inspiring talk: “Everything transcendental is coming to us through Gurudev. He is…the center of our spiritual life, so everything has to be judged according to that.”

Divine Service, Bhakti-yoga

Srila Govinda Maharaj says, “Karmma and seva, action and divine service, are identical from the external perspective. Bhakti-yoga and karmma-yoga are the same apart from one thing—and that is the inner mood of the practitioner. The inner intention is the all-important, differentiating factor.”

Sri Gadadhar Pandit

Srila Govinda Maharaj describes how Sri Gadadhar Pandit was like Mahaprabhu’s shadow. He was always with Him. During their childhood they were students together, when Mahaprabhu took sannyas Gadadhar Pandit also took sannyas, and when Mahaprabhu decided to stay in Puri Dham, he also stayed.

“Exclusive devotion must come from the disciple towards the guru. It is said in the Svetasvatara Upanisad (6.23):

yasya deve para bhaktir
yatha deve tatha gurau
tasyaite kathita hy arthah
prakasante mahatmanah“The key to success in spiritual life is unflinching devotion to both the spiritual master and Krsna. To those great souls who have full faith in both Krsna and the spiritual master, the inner meaning of the scriptures is fully revealed.” The guru is Krsna’s representative. We are in search of divinity, and so, we must try to concentrate all our energy wherever we find a real connection with divinity. That is the key to success, because Krsna is all-conscious. So, the response to our devotional efforts will come from Krsna according to our attentiveness to Him.”
