Description

Excerpts from the foreword by Giriraj Swami: “Gurudeva” provides a wonderful opportunity to associate with Sripada Tamal Krishna Goswami. The volume is filled with pictures of him, words by him, words about him, and words about Krishna and His devotees. It is a meditation not only on Tamal Krishna Goswami but also on Krishna and the entire spiritual world — an education in Krishna consciousness as well as a vivid portrait of this extraordinary personality who lived amongst us in service to his spiritual master and his Lord. Through these pages one can relish the association of Tamal Krishna Goswami; his divine master Srila Prabhupada; his predecessor acaryas, including the Six Gosvamis; the Panca-tattva, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, Sri Nityananda Prabhu, and Their associates, and their abode Sri Mayapur dhama; and ultimately Sri Sri Radha-Shyamasundara, Their associates and Their abode Sri Vrndavana dhama. The nectar that flows from these pages will gladden the eyes, ears, hearts, and very beings of its swanlike readers.”

Radha Charan Das, the compiler of this book writes: “The purpose for Gurudeva is to commemorate and honor the life and contributions of Srila Tamal Krishna Goswami. From seed to fruition, the book is an expression of gratitude and a gift to those who aspire and long to enrich their meditation on such a dedicated servant of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.”
