Sree Sree Guru Gaurangau Jayatah!
Anyone, no matter how important a person, who met Srila Gurudeva--with his handsome features and imposing physique, pleasant manner, extraordinary personality, facility with modern reasoning and ability to convince by means of irrefutable scriptural evidence--would become enchanted and quite happy to do anything requested of him. Srila Gurudeva’s entire being--his meditation, his thoughts, his japa, everything--was fully devoted to fulfilling Srila Prabhupada’s desires. Srila Prabhupada had complete faith that whatever task he gave Srila Gurudeva would be carried out to completion. Today’s volunteer workers cannot even imagine the extent of his commitment to service, for which he gave up eating and sleeping, working through the night if necessary to achieve his goals.
Srila Gurudeva’s single-minded allegiance to his spiritual master is an example to be followed by everyone. He never undertook any task without the express direction of his spiritual master. As a result of his full surrender to Srila Prabhupada’s lotus feet, he came to inherit his divine potency for spreading Lord Chaitanya’s mission in its entirety.
