Appearance Day Of Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Deva Gosvami
BY PREMANIDHI DAS
WORLD, Nov 6 (VNN) On the 6th of November is the 109 Appearance Day of OM VISNUPAD PARAMAHAMSA SRILA BHAKTI RAKSAK SRIDHAR DEV-GOSWAMI MAHARAJ. One kind of worshipping him is to listen to his nectarean words:
"The autocrat has chalked out a path and I am exclusively following that path. If we do not follow or if we stand still, that is an offence. And if I go in another direction, that is also an offence. We must follow in the footsteps of that Autocrat. The principal way of upper life is to follow in the footsteps of the Autocrat in a serving mood. This is the real path. All our illusions will be conquered if we can only try to accept this principle of life. If we do not try for this, it is an offence even to our own selves.
And if we do otherwise, that is also an offence. This is law above all law.
And for our own best interests, we must mark this..
Following His footsteps faithfully, as no other law is possible here, because Krsna is actually the Autocrat. We shall not be the losers because He is a sweet and loving Autocrat. He is the Autocrat but He is sweet. And you will also get sweetness, fulfilment and love by following in the footsteps of that Autocrat. Beauty is the Autocrat; Sweetness is the Autocrat; Love is the Autocrat ? and that is beyond all law. We are required by that dynamic character to follow in those footsteps everywhere to the nearest millimetre."
We are glad, that by the mercy of the Vaishnavas more and more of his teachings can be presented for the benefit of all sincere seekers on the website:
