His divine form is adorned with garments the colour of the newly-risen sun. His speech is most pleasing, and he is an ocean of renunciation and knowledge. He is an abode of divine ecstasy, resplendent with pure devotion. He is a treasure-house of perfect conclusions, the leader of the tridandi sannyasis, and the best of Srila Saraswati Thakur’s followers. He is the only choice of the sadhus, the giver of all goodness, and my only shelter. I offer my obeisance unto my lord, Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj.
