VOLUME 1 Parts I, II, III & IV
His Divine Grace Sree Sreemad Bhakti Siddhanta
Saraswati Goswami Moharaj the celebrated Acharya (Spiritual Head) of the
Gaudiya Vaisnavas spoke the following few lines as His Message just a few days
(23rd December, 1936) before His passing away from this mortal world.
"I have most probably given many people
troubles in the mind. Some of them might have thought about me that I am their
enemy because I was obliged to speak the plain truth for service and devotion
towards the Absolute Godhead. I have given them all those troubles only for the
reason that they may turn their face towards the Personality of Godhead without
any desire for gain and with unalloyed devotion. I hope some day or other they
may understand me rightly."
"I advise all to preach the teachings of
Rupa-Raghunath (disciples of Lord Chaitanya) with all energy and resources. Our
ultimate goal shall be to become the dust of the lotus feet of Sree Sree Rupa
and Raghunath Goswamins. You should all work conjointly under the guidance of
your spiritual master with a view to serve the Absolute Knowledge, the
Personality of Godhead. You should live somehow or other without any quarrel in
this mortal world only for the service of Godhead. Do not please give up the
service of Godhead in spite of all dangers, all criticisms and all discomforts.
Do not be disappointed for most people in the world do not serve the
Personality of Godhead; do not give up your own service which is your
everything and all, neither reject the process of chanting and hearing of the transcendental
Holy Name of Godhead. You should always chant the transcendental Name of
Godhead with patience and forbearance like a tree and humbleness like a
straw."
"We wish that this mass of our body of
flesh and blood may be sacrificed at the altar of preaching the Samkirtan
Movement (congregational chanting of the Holy Name of Godhead) propagated by
Lord Chaitanya. We are not desirous of becoming a hero of work or a reformer of
religion, but our reality may be identified with the dust of the Lotus Feet of
Sree Rupa and Raghunath for that is our everything. The flow of the
transcendental tide of the attraction of devotion will never be blocked, and
you with your all energy shall devote yourself for fulfilling the desire of
Sreela Bhakti Vinode Thakur. There are many amongst you who are well qualified
and able workers. We have no other desire whatsoever."
"There are certainly many difficulties
while we are in this mortal world but it is not our business simply to be
overwhelmed with those difficulties or to try to overcome them only. We must
know even during the duration of our present life, as to what we shall gain
after overcoming all those difficulties of life and what shall be the mode of
our permanent existence. We must make an adjustment of all things that evoke
our love and hatred and for those that we want and do not want. Attachment and
detachment of this mortal world will engage us more and more as we become
farther and farthest from the Lotus Feet of Sree Krishna. When we are able to
transcend the position of attachments and detachments of this mortal world and
be attracted with the Holy Name of Godhead, it is then only we can understand
the import of the transcendental service of Sree Krishna the Personality of
Godhead. At the first instance the subject Krishna is startling and perplexing
to us. Every one who is called by the name 'man' is more or less struggling
knowingly or unknowingly to eliminate those invading elements what are baffling
our conception of eternal need. It is our only duty to enter into the kingdom
of eternal need."
"We have no love or hatred for any one in
this world. All arrangements made in this world are but temporary. There is,
therefore, unavoidable necessity for that ultimate need for every one in this
world. You should attain the transcendental loving service of the objective,
being situated in concerted action for that one aim. Let there be a constant
flow of the ideas and thoughts as conceived by Rupa Goswami and His followers.
We shall not at any time show our slightest dejection for the seven tongued
"Samkirtan" movement. If we have undaunted faith in it we shall then
only achieve all perfections. You should all therefore preach with fearlessness
and with utmost energy the message of Rupa and Raghunath under the guidance of
the followers of Sree Rupa."
