Srila Sridhara Maharaja Ki Jai!

Subject: “…the two options available to you”
Dear Sripada Paribrajaka Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
I have read your three most recent emails and will reply to the content shortly.
There are many apparent issues but I think the real issues are few, maybe only one or two. Let us see.
Dear Sriman Pada Tirtha dasa,
Please accept my blessings and well-wishes and please convey the same to your family and especially my dear disciple Srimati Arundhati Devi dasi.
I was very pleased, satisfied and happy to learn from you about the intense eagerness of Srimati Arundhati Devi to make progress in Krishna consciousness. I am very encouraged to hear such things and very pleased that you have taken the time to write to me about them.
Srimati Arundhati Devi is my disciple, but we see our disciples as representatives of our guru. I take it from your report of her activities that it is a message from my gurus that I should feel such intense desire to understand the direction of Sri Sri Guru Gauranga as she is attempting to understand through her devotional practices. I think you and

Srila Sridhara Maharaja Ki Jai!
Introduction
A few weeks ago we were blessed to receive, from Sriman Paramananda Prabhu (UK), 150 transcripts of Srila Sridhara Maharaja’s audio recordings. His email, notifying me of this auspicious presentation, along with my reply, are attached below.
Most of the transcripts I received are corrected forms of transcripts previously submitted by him and posted on our website. Others are new transcripts. All of them have now been presented in a universal type font making the characters with diacritics much more portable, as they can now be easily converted into a great number of fonts for use in a wide number of digital and print formats and devices.
I forwarded the new files to Sriman Gokulananda, who serves as our devoted webmaster, so that the updated files can be replaced with the
Dear devotees and friends,
Are you supporting Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math when you shop at Amazon.com?
If so, you should see this banner when you logon:
Sri Narasimha Chaturdashi. Appearance day of Sri Narasimha Deva. Full fast until after sunset, then no grains (anukalpa).
A recent email sent to Srila Giri Maharaja –
Dear Srila Bhakti Kanan Giri Maharaja,
Please accept my humble obeisances.
Jai Srila Gurudeva!
Speaking of whom, did you intentionally avoid posting a notice of our observance today (now yesterday) of his disappearance?
To my shame I forgot to post it.Lilavati Devi reminded me I hadn’t posted it but by then the day was almost over.
I checked if I had posted last year’s observance but it seems I had not done that either.
I am thinking that as well as a bad memory I have a mental block as I do not find it a happy day to remember.
I remarked to Lilavati Devi that I remember it as the day the world went mad and when the good sense, reason and sobriety of prominent devotees who were ordered by the spiritual master to become acharyas was lost due to the influence of illusion
An email from Srila Bhakti Kanan Giri Maharaja to Uddharan dasa –
Dear Sriman Uddharan dasa Adhikari,
Please accept my humble obeisances in remembrance of our Divine Masters.
I hope you will post your excellent email to Sripada Paribrajaka Maharaja, with or without his name. I lean in the direction of including his name because: 1. He is a sannyasi and a guru. As such, his is supposed to be a public life and he should not expect too much in the way of “secrecy”. “na hi gopyaṁ hi sadhūnāṁ— Certainly, no secrets are to be kept by saintly personalities… ”

Dear Srila Bhakti Kanan Giri Maharaja,
Dandavat pranams on the day of your appearance.
Srila Govinda Maharaja once said:
Everything depends on the mood of the devotee. Someone may go for collection, someone else may cook, another may clean, but everything depends on the individual’s mood whether it will be karma or bhakti. If someone will follow his Guru’s instructions in a surrendered mood, it will be bhakti, otherwise it will be pious karma. If anyone will follow the instructions of the Scriptures and Guru he will always receive a good result, but that is not necessarily bhakti. It is a big difficulty for everyone if they are not conscious of their purpose. Srila Guru Maharaja always emphasized the word ‘consciousness’-everything is living within
