Srila Sridar Maharaj explains “That Balarama who can distribute divine love, who can perform that higher function, has come here as Nityananda. Our foundation must be solid and proper. Then the structure should be erected. Otherwise the whole thing will go down. We can get a solid foundation from Nityananda Prabhu.”

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…
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.”
Srila Sridhar Maharaj: “Sri guru is not exclusively the same as the Supreme Lord Himself, but he fully…embodies the most comprehensive and excellent service and favor of the Lord.”
