Let us always remember and pray for the causeless mercy of 'The Guardian of Devotion', a king among Vaishnavas, Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj. He has left an incomparable wealth by his example, his teachings and his dearmost disciple and successor by whose grace we have come to know more and more of Srila Sridhar Maharaj's glories: His Divine Grace Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj.
