Meaning \u2013<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Srila Kunjabihari d\u00e2s is our Pram-Gurudev. After getting kunja-sev\u00e2, he became Labanga-manjari. Dear Param-Gurudev, how you made your name worthy! Just as a tiny lavanga (clove) spreads fragrance all around, in spite of residing in the far-flung village of R\u00e2dh\u00e2kund (in the corner of the earth), your fame radiated far and wide. You composed many Bhakti-literatures; moreover you were an expert in painting as well. Thus you became popular in Vrajadh\u00e2m within in a short while. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The heart-stealing beautiful scent of \u2018Gol\u00e2p1<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u2019 (rose) and \u2018Labanga\u2019 ( clove) pervaded all quarters, while as soon as \u2018ananta2<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u2019 descended in the field of preaching, he intoxicated the world with his sweet renderings.\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Srila Ananta d\u00e2s B\u00e2b\u00e2ji Mah\u00e2r\u00e2j, our Sri Gurudev, is an ocean of Guru-prem; he is also an ocean of gem-like bhakti, hence he is also called \u2018bhakti-ratn\u00e2kar3<\/sup><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u2019. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Please bless us with this bounty O D\u00e2du Mah\u00e2r\u00e2j, that we may become your worthy successors in achieving pure bhakti. <\/span><\/p>\n
