by Vrinda Devi Dasi – One of the most beautiful festivals we celebrate at the Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math is Sri Nrsimha Chaturdasi, and this is so for many reasons. One is our devotees naturally feel much joy and hope hearing about the beautiful devotional qualities and unwavering faith of Sri Prahlad Maharaj.
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.
Sripad Hasyapriya Prabhu quotes Srila Sridhar Maharaj, “The safest and most fearless position is vipralambha. If we can stand firm and retain the memory of Gurudev in his separation, then we will have passed the highest test.”
