Our Master - His Life
A most endearing hallmark of his preaching was the heart-stealing affection he showed to all. As an uttama-bhāgavata, he entered the deepest recesses of the heart to give the unmistakable reassurance that he is one's eternal well-wisher. The depth of his affection is a tangible reality for all who have experienced it, and this in itself bears subjective testimony to the fact that he was a true emissary of the Supreme Lord.
Namah
As long as Śrīla Gurudeva, the beloved of Śrī Kṛṣṇa, is physically manifest, it is wise to render intimate service to him, and thereby attain perfection. But if we are not able to attain perfection because we have failed to develop attachment to him, attachment wherein we consider him to be the lord of our heart; if we have failed to serve him by giving him our full heart in complete sincerity and selflessness, then we have certainly been deprived...
The Most Compassionate
Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is certainly more intelligent than each and every one of us, and He knows how to make the fallen souls of Kali-yuga best understand His high-level teachings. Indeed, His teachings are comprehensible by all. Still, our misfortune prevails. First, we do not accept His teachings. Second, to impress others with our prowess we mix something of our own with them...
Sri Guruvastakam
I want to give an explanation of Sri Guru – what are the symptoms of a bona fide guru – and to show you examples that have been given in the epics [Vedic scriptures]. You can apply this to your own guru. Our Sri Guru is akhanda-guru-tattva, Sri Baladeva Prabhu or Sri Nityananda Prabhu, so all teachings should be applied to him and to others who are following this...

by Śrīla Bhakti Rakṣaka Śrīdhara Gosvāmī Mahārāja
Once, Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura had a dream in which he was wandering in the sky chanting the holy name. He came upon the court of Yamarāja, where Yamarāja himself was sitting with Brahmā, Nārada, and others discussing a point from a verse in Bhagavad-gītā...

A few waves from the ocean of the specialities of Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja - Part One
Fully dedicated and overwhelmed by moods of service to Vṛṣabhānu-nandinī Śrīmatī Rādhikā (and thus immersed in the service moods of a pālya-dāsīand in thecategory of nitya-or prāṇa-sakhīs, who are partial to Śrīmatī Rādhikā), Śrīla Gurudeva preached this mano’bhīṣṭa through his hari-kathā, his conversations, his writings, his dealings with devotees, the paintings he guided, the parikramās he organized, and so forth. His sole purpose was to make the souls of this world aspire for this particular mood of rādhā-dāsyam.

Mathurā: The Sārasvata Mission in the Heart of Vraja - Part Four
In 1954, nitya-līlā-praviṣṭa oṁ viṣṇupāda aṣṭottara-śata-śrī Śrīla Bhakti Prajñāna Keśava Gosvāmī Mahārāja, an intimate associate of Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda, acquired a dharmaśālā in Jawahar Haat. It was not far from where Śrīla Prabhupāda had stayed during his 1932 parikramā at Śrī Baladeva Vilāsa Bhavan in Dampier Nagar, Mathurā-dhāma. Paramagurudeva transformed that dharmaśālā into a maṭha, which he namedŚrī Keśavajī Gauḍīya Maṭha.
