Our Acharya
Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta
Narayana Goswami Maharaja
The aim and object of our life is to develop pure and unalloyed love of God. This divine love is the highest gift and it starts with faith, just like everything else of value in life. Faith gives us the eyes to see and perceive the beauty and understand the value. A sad-guru, or a genuine spiritual master who has fully realized God, such as our founder-acharya, Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaja, is an ocean and epitome of such faith. One moment of association with such a Vaishnava (devotee of the Lord) can inundate one with faith and desire to obtain bhakti (devotion to God). Such a transcendental person is also most qualified to lead an aspirant to the goal step by step, while answering any and every practical question, helping to remove any doubts, and giving the strength and inspiration to proceed along the way.
The disciples and followers of Srila Narayana Goswami Maharaja, who is affectionately known world-wide as “Srila Gurudeva”, have all seen this and experienced this in his association. You are most welcome to come and learn more about him and about his teachings, which guide the sincere seeker toward pure bhakti, love of God, the highest and, indeed, only goal of human existence.
