I fall at the feet of Srila Sridhar-Deva, who with charming expression sings his songs of sweet nectar.
Dressed with fine garments like sun newley risen, he's the true saint the devotees have chosen.
His detachment and knowledge are just like the ocean, the treasure house of complete, perfect conclusion. Radiant in pastimes of loving devotion, the abode of pure ecstasy, bestower of good fortune, foremost true follower of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta, foremost great general of the whole renounced order, my lord, my master, my only shelter, I worship his feet, Srila Sridhar-Deva. |
| Sripad Bhakti Vigraha Nyasi Maharaj, Sripad Bhakti Nandan Narayan Maharaj, Sripad Bhakti Swarup Tridandi Maharaj and Sripad Devashis Prabhu all glorified our wonderful Srila Guru Maharaj. |
| Then Sripad Devashis Prabhu offered Guru Puja... |
| ...Sripad Dayanidhi Prabhu led the devotees in chanting 'Jaya Guru Maharaja yati-rajesvara' and exuberant sankirtan continued... |
| ... as flower petals were offered at His Divine Grace's lotus feet. |
| In a very hot kitchen, Madhu Mati Devi Dasi, Ratnavali Devi Dasi, Saraswati Devi Dasi, Srilekha Devi Dasi, Gopesa Prabhu and a new friend, Elaina from Russia, cooked a special feast of Srila Guru Maharaja's favourite dishes including a special orange juice drink. |
| Jaya Om Visnupada Paramahamsa Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj ki jaya! |
