Therefore, prior to this, he has given us the pleasure of relishing various Goswâmi-literatures. His anurâg-full explanations have touched our hearts and we have learnt the whereabouts of the ocean of nectarine tattva as well as gained the treasure of sâdhanâ. Devotional practice is a vast empire and he has given us the key to this treasure-mine. His explanation is always rich with the comments of the Six Goswâmis. Sriman-Nityânanda Prabhu’s descendent, immensely Reverend Sri Prabhupâd Prânkishor Goswâmiji, who is my father, had told Ananta dâs Bâbâji Mahârâj – when he was new in the field of Divine Discourses – “Oh! Your explanations are so much surrendered to the commentaries by the Six Goswâmis !!¹ One day in the future, such explanations that are in strict accordance with the instructions of the Goswâmis will place the crown of victory on your head.” Today we can see that every word he had spoken has turned out to be true. Really, in this advanced age, the way he discusses the ras of the Vaishnav-literatures, the manner in which he expertly clarifies the most difficult-to-comprehend principles is amazing! And he does this completely in accordance with the teachings of the Goswâmis – this is the best part! His explanation is lucid, at the same time he has the innate capacity to relish the same transcendental ras that was enjoyed by the deeply confidential associates of Lord Sri Chaitanya Mahâprabhu. Blest with this power, Srila Bâbâji Mahârâj is able to create waves of bhâv in the hearts of his audience – there is no doubt about this! He is armed with the blazing torch of the Goswâmis’ comments. Hence his explanation is bound to walk proudly, fearlessly and independently on the path leading to the Royal Gate
