vande sri madhavam deva-goswami-pravaram prabhumThis song in adoration of “Goswami-Pravar”, Bhakti Dayita Madhav Maharaj, expresses his unique qualities and achievements. He is acaryavaryam (the extraordinary acarya) and jagad-guru (the universal preceptor). He is tall and golden-complexioned, a divinely beautiful figure, traveling throughout India, while strictly maintaining the solemn vow of tridanda sannyas and exhibiting gravity of personality. He has established Maths and installed Radha-Krishna Deities at Navadwip-dham, Assam, Braja-dham, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh and other places. He revived the holy advent place of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur at Puri (Purushottamdham). His divine personal desire has become the cause of the appearance of the magnificent temple at the holy birth-site of his Gurudeva at Puri. He has introduced the congregation of sadhus everywhere, and has engaged in the widespread preaching of the divine message of his Gurudeva, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur, as well as the devotional practices enjoined by the scriptures. He is supremely compassionate to his disciples and has sincere, bonafide love for his godbrothers. In this way he has dedicated his whole life for the service of fulfilling the desires of his Gurudeva, Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Goswami Thakur.
