The following is an excerpt from Revealed Truth, the latest book published by Sripad Tyagi Maharaj on Srila Govinda Maharaj’s lectures.
Srila Janardan Maharaj explains “Our best interest is in the heart of a saint. Try to see if you can find some place in a saint’s heart.

Srila Janardan Maharaj explains the importance of remembering the spiritual master at all times.
Vrinda Devi Dasi: All those who came in contact with Srila Gurudev, Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev Goswami Maharaj, across the world or at home in India, could clearly see his magnanimity, beauty and kindness. To try and describe his charm and affection feels like…a dwarf trying to touch the moon…
Sripad Vaishnav Maharaj gave a wonderful talk on Srila Govinda Maharaj’s Divine Appearance day in 2007.

Srila Sridhar Maharaj comments on the last verse of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s Sri Sikshastakam: “We are to wait for eternity and we may or may not get anything, and still we want that…. The exclusive search for Krishna is a reward of its own. Virtue is a reward of its own.”
