His Divine Grace Sree Sreemad Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Goswami Maharaj 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.”

pamho agtACBSP, sublime preaching by our param guru SRILA BHAKTISIDDHANTA SARASVATI THAKUR PRABHUPADA, actually here is someone who is still keeping going with the daily sadhana bhakti without caring for bad reputation through sadhe sati,kala sarp dosha cheating misuderstanding and always disconnected from the right things to the right moment. My life has been a very tragic troublesome journey until now with plenty of not ordinary hidden enemies and it didn’t finish yet but i do not care still by keeping serving guru sadhu and sastra because i’m fully convinced that we are not these mudhas destined to disappear again. On the other side all the other devotees of my same generation in iskcon who considered me a fool got foolished by becoming the servants of other mudhas through the guru hoaxers, i never got fooled by getting involved with the guru hoaxers and i saw many of them to destroy their spiritual lives completely because of that entaglement with unworthy leaders. They were laughing when seeing me to try to do spiritual life completely trapped through my duskrhotta karma but they cry now and i laugh therefore the proverb says, laugh nicely who laugh at the end. i know it’s just a temporary bad fream i mean i got nothing to do with this guna karma, all the others troublesome lives already got forgotten and this nasty one also will get forgotten therefore where is the use to think about the ghosts of the past?
I got good karma also that’s the blessing of hamsa yoga in my birth chart due to the sukrhotta karma of my previous lives therefore i will get there through that blessing who are not available for everyone but only one person in 50 got this blessing that’s jupiter in sagittarius, i have been saved until now from death and guru hoaxers because of this blessing in my birth chart and it will make my loulyam kalatvam to reach the platform of pure saranagati at the end of this not ordinary troblesome journey through unreal bad dream.
Sraddhavan full faith in the daily sadhana bhakti is the best gift of SRI KRSNA BHAGAVAT that’s the power that make me to not care about all the other living dead entities through fake images, in this case our business is SRI SRI GURU GAURANGA through rupa ragunath pade habe akuti kabe hama bujhabo se yugala piriti,SRILA BHAKTISIDDHANTA SARASVATI THAKUR KI JAI SRILA PRABHUPADA KI JAI INDIRA EKADASI KI JAI AGTSP ys haribol
