The dear disciple and chosen successor of Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda
Dev-Goswami Maharaj who is always devotedly engaged in practicing and
preaching his divine conception of pure devotion, is known as Srila Bhakti
Nirmal Acharya Maharaj.
A Brief Biography
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj surrendered at the lotus feet of Srila
Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj in 1992, and immediately
began serving His Divine Grace and his Mission, Sri Chaitanya Saraswat
Math, with full energy. Excelling in all fields of service, Srila Acharya

Maharajs earnest desire to satisfy Srila Govinda Maharaj has always been
evident for all to see. His traveling throughout India leading pilgrimage
parties, collecting foodstuffs and supplies for the Maths service, and
establishing centres has profoundly increased public participation in the
Mission of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math. His dynamic international
preaching as Srila Govinda Maharajs representative has attracted the hearts
of devotees worldwide and inspired them with new life in their practice of
Krishna consciousness. His extensive works expanding the facilities of the
Mission include manifesting gloriously Sri Govinda Kunda, the longstanding desire of Srila Sridhar Maharaj, as well as establishing beautiful
temples in Srila Govinda Maharajs divine appearance place of Sripat
Bamanpara and in Siliguri. Srila Acharya Maharaj also established an
unprecedented temple and ashram in Sri Ekachakra Dham.
On the grand occasion of the inauguration of this ashram, which was
likely the largest festival ever arranged by the Math, a day on which Srila
Acharya Maharaj made arrangements for 1,00,000 people to takeprasadam,
Srila Govinda Maharaj proclaimed in his broadcasted address:
We are so indebted and so much blissful to Acharya Maharaj because he
hears what Guru Maharaj wants, what I want, and he makes that He has
done everything, all arrangements. He has capacity, he has done so much
and it is miracle Sripad Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj, he is an
impossible man! A miraculous man whose energy is over-flooded for the
service of our society. He is my very dear friend, very dear disciple, very
dear worker, everything. My blessings to him. He is doing all of my own
attending service duties and I am so happy.
Just prior to this indicative pronouncement Srila Govinda Maharaj also
glorified Srila Acharya Maharaj in a darsan in Kolkata in 2009:
Srila Guru Maharaj trained me from my childhood, Serve the
Vaishnavas without enviousness. If we see a devotee doing our own job

better than us then we must consider that they are doing much good for us.
We should not be envious of him. When Acharya Maharaj is doing so much
that I cannot do, I am praising him for that, I am not criticising him.
Srila Govinda Maharaj gave Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya
Maharajtridandi-sannyas ten years earlier in 1999 after being prompted by
some of his intimate associates to select his successor. In this connection it
is noteworthy that Srila Govinda Maharaj previously expressed in private
that he would only give the name Acharya Maharaj to whom he would
select as the next acharya of the Math so as to make his desire abundantly
clear.
After first hinting at his desire through the choice of Srila Acharya
Maharajs name and publicly indicating his desire through his heartfelt
glorifications of Srila Acharya Maharaj, Srila Govinda Maharaj formally
dictated his desire in his Last Will and Testament. Furthermore, on the
last Sri Vyas Puja celebration of his manifest Pastimes, 4th December 2009,
before a packed assembly and a worldwide audience, Srila Govinda
Maharaj publicly declared Srila Acharya Maharaj as his successor:
He (Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj) is highly qualified and I have chosen
him as next acharya of this Math. All of you should unitedly proceed under
his guidance, serve under him faithfully and love him. His love for the
Math is his greatest quality. That the Math should not lose even one inch of
its land, even one inch of its propertyhe is continuously working towards
this end. I am now asking him to speak Hari-katha as my representative
*Following Srila Acharya Maharajs speech Srila Govinda Maharaj
continued:] Math secretary, Math manager, future Math acharya, Sripad
Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj ki jay! After me, all of you should continue
as his followers. Everyone makes mistakes, but I very rarely see anyone
with a sincere, heartfelt service mood like him. The type of profound vision
and attentive care he has for every matter cannot be seen anywhere. May
the Lord bring him all goodness and auspiciousness.

Following the divine disappearance of Srila Govinda Maharaj, Srila

Acharya Maharaj now continues to give great nourishment to the
worldwide followers of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math. His unparalleled
mood of chaste devotion and dynamic preaching both in India and abroad
is an invaluable inspiration and shelter for sincere seekers everywhere.

May the proclamation of the message of Sri Bhakti-siddhanta be our very life.
May the establishment of Sri Bhakti-siddhanta over all misconceptions bring us eternal
welfare.

Tridandi Bhiksu
His Divine Grace
Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj
Dear Srila Acharya Maharaj,
Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga.
It is a great fortune for us here in the Philippines to be able to participate in celebrating
the most auspicious Sri Vyasa-puja day, your divine appearance day which is being
celebrated by devotees and well-wishers worldwide.
Though we say we wish to greet you a prosperous and happy appearance day,
actually on the contrary it is you who is bestowing upon us your kind blessings and
mercy, yasya prasadad bhagavat-prasado yasyaprasadan na gatih kuto pi, without your
grace we will not be able to achieve Krsna. It is us who is being favored, being
benefitted by your presence from within and without. We cannot offer you anything
that has real value except our free will to serve. Therefore it is our ardent prayers that
the mercy of our Sri Gurudevas rain upon us so that we could really substantially
serve you, not by mere words of flowery phrase but real indulgence with sweat on our
face.
With straw between our teeth, may I offer this prayer in behalf of the Filipino devotees
as our profound reverence to your lotus feet which is the asraya vigraha of the
suffering souls of this world. You are our only guide, shield and refuge.

All glories to Sri Sri Guru and Gauranga!

I am offering my respectful obeisances to Sri Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharajah who is
the representation of Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who can deliver all souls to the lotus
feet of Lord Sri Krsna. I am thanking my gurudeva for giving me a chance to serve
under his spiritual guidance. I was once lost in the loving service of bhakti yoga. And
He rescued me from the clutches of Maya. All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga.
