Who-how can expect more than what already given by our Paramahama Gaudiya Guruvarga?
Śrīla Saccidananda Bhaktivinod has said that – “rāgānugā-bhakti or rūpānuga-bhajan can never be taught by anybody. If someone claim that “Come on! I can teach you rāgānugā-bhakti or rūpānuga-bhajan.”—then in that case be sure that he is a fraud.” So we should not express that kind of audacity to violate our paramahaṁsa-gauḍī-gāuruvarga and their viśuddha -siddhānta-vichars to establish personal vichar.
Anyābhilāsa (separate desire, other than Kṛṣṇa seva)
If someone does not faithfully follow their Guru, but, following their own idea, behaves virtuously, visits holy places, performs the sixty-four practices of devotion to the Lord, practices renunciation, austerities, nam-saṅkīrtana, japa, meditation, or engages in any other devotional (?) practices, they do not do even a little service to the Lord thereby, rather, they are simply fulfilling the desire to gratify their own senses.
Initiation into Spiritual Life
The good preceptor although he appears to belong to this world is not really of this world. No one who belongs to this world can deliver us from worldliness. The good preceptor is a denizen of the spiritual world who has been enabled by the will of God to appear in this world in order to enable us to realise the spiritual existence.
What use of different kinds of siddhis, except bhakti-siddhi?
Śrīla Gaura Kishore Das Babaji Maharaj one day reached Śrī Mayapur from that side of Ganga almost at the midnight time, Śrīla Prabhupada was just surprised to see Babaji Maharaj at that time, because there was no boatman nothing, also he cannot see properly, so who helped him to reach Mayapur at midnight, that was the main question. But Śrīla Babaji Maharaj started laughing. So we can see the unique bhakti-yoga-siddhi with Śrīla Babaji Maharaj.
The Appearance of Sri Madhvacarya
In Bengal, everyone from the Gaudiya sampradaya who is serving Sriman Mahaprabhu is a follower of that senior Vaisnavacarya. His other name is Sri Madhvamuni. This matha has been named after him. Sri Krishna Caitanyadeva is the eighteenth descendant from Sripada Ananda Tirtha, or Purna Prajna. The seventeenth descendants are Sri Advaita Prabhu and Sri Nityananda Prabhu. These three prabhus accepted Sri Madhvamuni into their disciplic succession.
Unalloyed Theism
“Why should that Supreme Soul, the principal Transcendental Object, not imbibe the all-encompassing conception? That is to say, why should He not include both non-matter and matter, both the part and the whole, and why should He not incorporate both ends of the continuum of variegated realities?”
The Deep Meaning of Akhanda Guru-tattva
Sri Guru, the Vaisnavas and Sri Bhagavan – these three are antaryami. In other words, they are the internal witnesses and know our heart. They see the Truth and speak the Truth. They extend their causeless compassion to the conditioned souls of this world in ways that are unnoticed by mortal intelligence and inconceivable to it. Truly nothing in this world can compare to their compassion. Only a soul who possesses sufficient spiritual merit can fathom something of their unsurpassed compassion.

Ram-līlā-siddhānta vichar
ll people are supposed to misunderstand Queen Koikaye for this kind of her cruel mood but the most secret siddhānta vichar can unveil the mystery behind it. Actually though Bharat was her own son but still right from the beginning of the joyful auspicious advent of Ram-lala, she was the most loveful mother of Śrī Ram-lala to take care of Him always and every moment. Even it was impossible for her to bear one fraction of second adarśana (separation) of Śrī Ramchandra, but still how externally she was known to everybody as very cruel mother. How? That is the main question.
The deep love and affection Vaiṣṇavas have inside their heart, we cannot compare with anything from this world
