June 29, 2024: We are reading Sri Sri Prapanna-jivanamrtam: Life-Nectar of the Surrendered Souls: Positive & Progressive Immortality, by Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhara Dev-Goswami Maharaja, Founder-Acharya of the Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math.

This is a weekly Sadhu-Sanga (satsanga) under the affectionate guidance of Sripad Bhakti Madhava Puri Majaraja, Ph.D. The practice of Bhakti Yoga, cultivating love for God through devotional service, is transcendental to the affairs of the material world. There will always be suffering of some type in this plane of existence - disease or otherwise. However, we all have the opportunity to engage in a spiritual education and develop our awareness about that spiritual plane which is where we find the true nature of reality - sat-cit-ananda, or eternity, knowledge, and bliss.
Sripad B. M. Puri Maharaja has expressed: “So, we're very fortunate to have some connection with such a high saint (Srila B. R. Sridhara Maharaja), although we are very unqualified ourselves. To have a chance to have the connection of such a highly exalted saint, it is miraculous we could say, pure mercy. So, we hold these things very dear to our heart, especially this book, I find it is my favorite book - the Prapanna-jivanamritam - so many things are contained here of such high-quality devotion and the pure element of surrender.”

GAUDIYA VAISHNAVA ACHARYAS ON THE GLORIES OF SRI SRI PRAPANNA-JIVANAMRITAM
Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaja
“Physically, verbally, and mentally if we will surrender to Lord Krishna, then that surrender will be full surrender. Srila Guru Maharaj, Srila Bhakti Raksak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaj, composed Sri Sri Prapanna-jivanamrtam. There, he gave this knowledge: if anyone fully surrenders with these three properties, they must get finally a good result. Otherwise, it is depending upon their mood of surrender: however much they can do, according to the percentage of their surrender, they will get the result.”

“Another fruit of the spiritual association at 7 Banerjee Lane was a book called Prapanna-jīvanāmṛta, compiled by Śrīdhara Mahārāja. A collection of verses from various Vaiṣṇava scriptures, including excerpts from the works of Rūpa Gosvāmī, it was divided into six chapters, according to the six divisions of surrender. Abhay, along with the sannyāsīs of the Devananda Sarasvati Math, financed the publication. Thus it was published as a joint effort by friends.”
[Śrīla Prabhupāda-līlāmṛta, Volume 1 ch 5 - vedabase.io/en/library/spl/1/5/]
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Dev-Goswami Maharaja
“Tell me, who of you has read Sri Sri Prapanna-jivanamritam properly? It is an important book in our line. There are many slokas from Srimad Bhagavatam, Sri Brahma-vivarta, and many other books. There are so many highest things written here in a very beautiful way. I read it today again after many years, and I liked it a lot, I am thinking I must read it again and again.” [www.scsmathinternational.com/...]
“Mahaprabhu's parishads are coming from Goloka Vrindavan to join with us, to preach to us, to rescue our fallen souls. In this way, teaching us proper Krishna consciousness. He (Sripad Bhakti Madhava Puri Maharaja, Ph. D.) is attending too much to me, to Gurudev, and to Sridhara Maharaja also. So many services he has done in this world. Some problem came where he cannot come to India, but he is staying in New Jersey and it is a very good place. He always gives Prappanna Jivanamrta class, a book by our Param Gurudev (Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhara Dev-Goswami Maharaja). He is very kind. It is a Vaishnava's quality to be humble, tolerant, and to give honor to others. He has that kind of quality.” [Sripad B. M. Puri Maharaja’s online Vyasa-puja celebration - kzfaq.info1wDepxq-...]
