Shri Chaitanya Sridhara Sangha
Golden drops of nectar of His Divine Grace
Srila Bhakti Raksaka Sridhara Deva Goswami Maharaj
“Generally, when we see something beautiful, we desire to possess it, but in reality, it is Beauty that possesses us! Beauty is the original principle that pervades and governs the entire universe!
Knowledge is above Power, and above Knowledge are Beauty, Enchantment, and Love! This is supreme.
The first statement of the Srimad Bhagavatam is “Krsnas tu bhagavan svayam”: the Krishna conception of the Supreme God is the most original conception of the Absolute. God as Beauty is above everything!”

“Reality is for itself and by itself. Not to satisfy many but to satisfy One!
We are far from the Truth when we fail to see that everything; all the waves flow towards the satisfaction of the One (svayam bhagavan).
What to see and how to read what is happening within myself and outside of me, this means having a right understanding and proper education! Education must be Vedic. The model must be taken from outside this area of maya (illusion), of misunderstanding; it must be taken from the perfect realm through the Vedas, the revealed Truth, (knowledge that descends from the higher plane).”
From the “Golden Volcano”:
Love is supreme!
An underdeveloped brain cannot distinguish what is right and what is wrong, or how precious this is. It cannot understand or follow this elevated line of thought. A man should be judged according to his ideals, his aspirations for higher things. If the ideal is great, the man is great. And what should be the greatest ideal? Love. Love is the supreme thing.
Divine Love and Beauty are the highest things ever known in the world, and those who can grasp this are truly in possession of a good intellect (su-medhasah). Whoever possesses this high ideal should be considered a first-class man. He alone can understand and practice sankìrtana. He alone can undertake this path, this method to satisfy the Supreme Being by chanting the Holy Names of the Lord.
From the "Subtle Plane":
The Guru (Spiritual Master) is the specialist and we will understand His qualification when we see that what He says is real and not imaginary. Such a vision will depend on the degree of awakening of our eyes. If a blind man is treated by a capable doctor, gradually he will be able to see for himself: “Yes, I am starting to see something, now I have visual experiences.” From that moment on, he will no longer pay attention to the speculative opinions of other blind people, but will be able to see directly. With the coming of sight, he can understand that the application of the medicine has had some effect.
From “Inner Satisfaction”:
Acintya-bhedabheda. Everything is His will and the search for Krishna is the greatest
adventure, seeking the root of the infinite whole. It takes courage and sufficient preparation to face the risk. Exploring the North Pole or the highest peak of the Himalayas requires a lot of courage and involves risks, so what can be said about the courage needed to discover the Absolute Cause of Everything. Inner courage is needed; spiritual courage. We must have the courage of the soul and have the support of deep faith. We must understand the noble nature of faith within us.
Without electricity we cannot have connection with the moon and other planets. Our hands and eyes cannot contact them. Faith can connect us with the most distant things. All other methods fail. Faith is substantial, it is not part of an illusion of the mind. The entire mind is a mixture of things: a source of falsifications.
Faith does not find its foundation there. Faith is a function of the soul.
We cannot even see what is inside our body, without the help of some device. Through faith,sraddha, the soul can approach and see the higher world. Through faith we can approach what is highest and most noble, not by our own hand or with the help of material elements.
From the “Sermons of the Guardian of Devotion vol. 1”:
We need specific items to perform worship, such as incense, flowers, the lamp, etc... Similarly, if we wish to realize the super-subjective plane, three specific things are necessary: pranipata, pariprasna, and seva. Without these three ingredients, our search will be imitative, unsubstantial, and fake.
Pranipata means "to fall flat near the feet of the venerable": "I have come to the end of my endeavor with my previous plan of life; I could not find anything there that satisfied the goals of my life. Finally, after completing my 'wandering', I have arrived here." This is the practical symptom of pranipata.
Pariprasna means 'sincere inquiry'. A sincere and honest inquiry is allowed. The spirit of such inquiry is: "I want to know how I can be utilized, in whatever way. All attraction for living anywhere else has vanished. My only question is: 'How can I be utilized here?'"
And seva, service, is the most important factor. "I have come to serve and to be utilized for the cause of the subject I have inquired about. I have not come here to take anything. I have come only to serve, with no other reason."
Devotion is a distinct and separate plane in which we live exclusively for the Center. We aspire to live and move only as agents for the Center and never be disconnected from it.
This is the consciousness of Krishna. Reality exists for itself and we must adhere to this factor. He is for Himself, everything is for Him and I myself am for Him.
Whatever I do must be done for Him. We must fully adhere to this concept and always examine whether what we are doing is for Him or for another part. However, the important thing is to think that it is.
