‘sādhu-saṅga’, ‘sādhu-saṅga’ — sarva-śāstre kayalava-mātra sādhu-saṅge sarva-siddhi haya
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya Lila 22.54
The verdict of all revealed scriptures is that by even a moment’s association with a pure devotee, one can attain all success.
Yes it's true, saintly association can give you all types of perfection.
We are delighted to give you the opportunity to have the association of a pure devotee of the Lord, His Grace Sripad Bhaktivedanta Vana Goswami Maharaj.
Sripada Bhaktivedanta Vana Gosvami Maharaja, a well-deserved spiritual master, traveling monk, author of several books on Vaishnava philosophy, one of the most respected preachers in the modern world, was born in the Midnapura district of West Bengal on the 2nd of January 1959, in the family of Sri Gaurasundara’s bhaktas (devotees). His birthplace is near the pada-tirtha (pilgrimage site with footprints of Lord) of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, called Pichalda, as mentioned in Chaitanya-charitamrita. The mother of Srila BV Vana Gosvami Maharaja offered her dear son to the lotus feet of their family deities on the altar, and from his boyhood, Subal Sakha (Maharaja’s childhood name) was always very attached to Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, Nityananda Prabhu and the whole Pancha-tattva (Five aspects of God)— worshipping Their lotus feet under his mother’s guidance.
In the year 2000, during the Gaura Purnima festival, Sripada BV Vana Gosvami Maharaja was awarded the highest title of Bhaktivedanta (‘one who has realised that devotional service to the Supreme Lord is the end of all knowledge’) and accepted the order of sannyasa (renounced order).
For over 25 years Srila BV Vana Goswami Maharaj has been tirelessly travelling the world, under the shelter and direct guidance of Srila Bhaktivedanta Vamana Gosvami Maharaja and Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja, to give people the blessing of his association and share his transcendental wisdom.
On this auspicious and festive occasion we will be having a yagna/havan (8am -10am) lots of chanting and singing, hearing wisdom from pure devotee, and a delicious prasadam feast. Main program starts at 10.30am.
Please come and take this divine opportunity to be in the company of a saint.
