April 12, 2025 – the Divine Appearance day (according to the solar calendar) of our beloved spiritual master, Śrī Prem Prayojan Prabhu.
***
"This year the day also coincided with Baladeva Rasa Yatra, Sri Krsna's Vasanta Rasa Lila (described in Sri Jaydeva Gosvami's Gita Govinda) and Caitra Purnima, the Appearance of Sri Radha Kunda.
By the causeless mercy of my Holy Master, Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami, the Appearance Day of Sri Radha Kunda is also my spiritual birthday, that is, the day of receiving diksha into this glorious line of Srila Rupa Gosvami.
Today, the first day of Madhusudana Masa, is the Divine Disappearance Day of the great acarya of the Visnusvami Sampradaya, Param Pujya Sri Visnuji Sastri, who departed from our material vision in 2021.
On this occasion, we especially feel separation from our beloved Sri Visnuji Sastri, whose powerful hari-katha still reverberates in our ears and calls us to always remain in the shelter of Sri Krsna's sound incarnation, rasa-svarupa, Srimad Bhagavatam.
Although my spiritual master departed from the realm of material vision fifteen years ago in 2010, he mercifully sent his own dear friends such as Sri Visnuji Sastri and Sri Acyuta Lal Bhatta Goswami as our guardians and siksha-gurus to continue the uninterrupted flow of spiritual inspiration and hari-katha.
Pure sadhu-sanga is extremely rare to achieve. It is only by the great miracle of Srila Gurudeva's blessings that, without going anywhere, these two maha-bhagavata vaisvanas would personally come visit us every day in Vrndavan.
Our capacity is greater. But there is nothing more powerful than the infallible blessings of pure sadhus.
"My path is very difficult. I am blind, and my feet are slipping again and again. Therefore, may the saints help me by granting me the stick of their mercy as my support."
