"Our divine spiritual masters are always interested in what will help us. I feel myself fortunate to be able to have had, and have, that kind of association because our best interest is in the heart of a saint ... It is not enough just to think that you will accept a spiritual master, but you must be accepted by a spiritual master."

Appearance of Mahavishnu Avatar, Sri Advaita Acharya.
Audio. Advent of Advaita Acharya. Srila B.R. Sridhar Maharaj explains: "First, Advaita Acharya descends here and then He looks around and finds that people are all apathetic to the truth, to Narayan. They are very fond of worshipping so many demigods and going on with their temporary pleasure searching, mad with that without caring for their own soul or liberation, or the life after liberation: to have a proper adjustment in Krishna consciousness. He was very much disturbed by this scenery and he prayed very fervently for the Lord to come here and to preach the Supreme Name, Nam sankirtan, by which a general amnesty and a peaceful effort may be done to start a campaign towards home. Back to God, back to home - this Nam sankirtan. And Mahaprabhu with others they also gradually come down here and begin their Nam sankirtan."

WORDS TO
LIVE BY:

"The Srimad Bhagavatam and Sri Chaitanya Charitamrta have told us that there are two kinds of association we can get. One type of association is from the holy books. If we can try to read and discuss them, that will be so beneficial. And even more beneficial than that is if we can get the association of the living Scriptures, the sadhus. They are not only practising Krishna consciousness, they are spreading Krishna consciousness to everyone. Whoever is a sincere seeker, he will receive benefit from them."
