Srila Bhakti Niskama Shanta Maharaja
Present-President-Sevait-Acharya. Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math

Jagannātha-prasādena, Nityānanda-kṛpārṇavaḥ।
Rūpa-Sarasvatī-dhāraṁ, bhajāmi gurum-īdṛśam॥

By the mercy of Lord Jagannātha and the boundless compassion of Śrī Nityānanda Prabhu, my Guru carries the lineage of Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī and Śrīla Bhaktisiddhānta Sarasvatī Ṭhākura. I worship such a divine spiritual master.

Niṣkāma-bhakti-dātā yaḥ, Śānta-swāmī mahāmatiḥ।
Rādhā-dāsye niveśaṁ saḥ, karoti bhajatāṁ sadā॥

He who bestows devotion without any other desires (anya-abhilāṣ), who is a great and peaceful saint, always immerses his disciples in the service of Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī. I offer my reverence to such a Guru.

Apasiddhānta-ripur yaḥ, bhakti-siddhānta-vardhanaḥ।
Tasmai namo guroḥ śuddhe, prema-dāyini sat-pathe॥

He is the enemy of false doctrines and the enhancer of true devotional conclusions. I bow to such a pure Guru, who bestows divine love and guides one on the righteous path.

Vaijñānikaṁ samācarya, rūpa-mārge dṛḍhaṁ sthitaḥ।
Guru-śaktyā kṛpāṁ dhatte, bhakti-yoga-pradīpavat॥

With scientific understanding, he steadfastly follows the path of Śrī Rūpa Gosvāmī. Empowered by the strength of Guru, he bestows grace, illuminating the path of bhakti-yoga like a bright lamp.

Nityaṁ Gaura-saṅkīrtanārādhyaṁ, vijñānena vivardhitam।
Lalitā-dāsikā-dāsaṁ taṁ, namāmi guruṁ bhṛśam॥

He constantly worships Gaura through saṅkīrtana, spreading its glory with profound knowledge. I bow deeply to that Guru, who is the servant of the servant of Śrī Lalitā Devī.

Srila Bhaktisvarupa Damodara Goswami Maharaja
(Harinam Guru of Present Successor-President-Sevaite-Acharya. Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math)

Maṇipura-prasūto yaḥ, prabhupādānuvartinaḥ।
Tad-ājñayā guroḥ śreṣṭhaṁ, bhajāmi guruṁ sadā॥

Born in Maṇipur, divinely blessed, recognized by Prabhupāda as his dear successor. By his guru’s order, he shone as a leader, I eternally worship my guru.

Rādhā-viraha-saṁtaptaṁ, Gaura-saṅkīrtanāśritam।
Vijñāna-kāvya-saṁyuktaṁ, namāmi śuddha-vigraham॥

Always absorbed in the burning separation that Śrīman Mahāprabhu felt for Śrīmatī Rādhikā and the Gopīs, searching for Them like a madman, He takes full shelter of Gaura-saṅkīrtana, blending science, poetry, and art, I bow to his pure divine form.

Prema-siddhānta-rakṣāyai, yukti-bhūṣita-vācakam।
Bhakti-śāstra-pracāre yo, nityaṁ udyukta-mānasaḥ॥

Defender of pure love’s path, a scholar of spiritual wisdom. Ever engaged in preaching bhakti, illuminating the sacred śāstras (scriptures).

Dainya-sindhuṁ dayā-sāraṁ, mitraṁ sarvasya sattamam।
Guror-āveśataḥ śāntaṁ, kṛṣṇa-premṇā pariplutam॥

An ocean of humility and mercy, a friend to all, beyond all divisions. Absorbed in his guru’s grace, drenched in Kṛṣṇa’s divine love.

Nāroṭṭama-bhāvaṁ nityaṁ, Lalitā-prakāśakam।
Tad-dāsya-rasa-madhyasthaṁ, vande bhakti-svarūpakam॥

Always absorbed in the mood of Narottama Dāsa, the very manifestation of Śrī Lalitā Devī. Centred in Her eternal service, I bow to Bhaktisvarūpa divine.

Srila Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Goswami Maharaja
Successor-President-Sevaite-Acharya, Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math

I bow my head in eternal obeisance to my Gurudev, the best of Āchāryas, Śrīla Bhakti Nirmal Āchārya Mahārāj. He is the ever vigilant, stalwart guardian of the current of pure devotion whose highest form fows from our most worshippable Śrī Rūpānuga Guru-varga in their exclusive dedication to Mahābhāva, Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī.

I offer my obeisance unto he who perfectly fulfils his Gurudev’s most cherished desires; who is fully adorned with the blessings of his Gurudev’s associates; who is expert in all aspects of Vedic knowledge, both conceivable and inconceivable; who is the pre-eminent follower of Śrīla Rūpa Goswāmī Prabhu’s line; who is known as ‘Govinda’— Śrīla Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswāmī Mahārāj; whose beautiful, effulgent, exalted form is infused with pure devotion; who is the Guru of the entire universe; and who is the giver of the seed of divine love for the Supreme Lord.

Srila A. C. Bhakti Vedanta Swami Maharaja Prabhupada
(Siksha Disciple of Founder-President-Acharya, Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math)

I offer my humble obeisances unto His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad, who is Krishna's beloved associate and who came down to this plane from Goloka. Taking the order of his guru on his head, he is the saktyavesa [empowered] avatar of Nityananda Prabhu personified. He distributed the Hare Krishna mantra all over the Eastern and Western world, delivering and uplifting all fallen souls.

He is the best of millions of jagat-gurus, because he is the personification of divine mercy. He has distributed the sweet nectar of Srimad-Bhagavatam and the transcendental knowledge of Bhagavad Gita all over the world. He is constantly engaged in exclusive devotional service to Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Prabhupad, Srila Rupa Goswami, and Sri Gauranga Mahaprabhu. I offer my humble obeisances unto Srila Prabhupad, who is like a bumble-bee always tasting the nectar of the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha and Govinda.

Srila Bhakti Rakshak Sridhar Dev-Goswami Maharaja
Founder-President-Sevait-Acharya, Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math

vande taṁ śubhadaṁ mad-eka-śaraṇaṁ nyāsīśvaraṁ śrīdharam
I offer my obeisance unto my lord, Śrīla Bhakti Rakṣak Śrīdhar Dev-Goswāmī Mahārāj, whose speech is most pleasing; whose divine form is adorned with garments the colour of the newly-risen sun; who is an abode of intense, ecstatic devotion; who is the sādhus’ sole choice; who is an ocean of renunciation and knowledge; who is a treasure-house of perfect conclusions; who is resplendent with pure devotion; who is the best of Śrīla Saraswatī Ṭhākur’s followers; who is the giver of all good; who is the leading general of the tridaṇḍi-sannyāsīs; and who is my sole shelter.

Bhagavan Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Saraswati Thakura Prabhupada

kṛṣṇa-prema-sudhābdhi-gāhana-sukhaṁ prādāt prabhuṁ taṁ bhaje

I serve my lord, who is known as Śrīla Bhakti Siddhānta Saraswatī Ṭhākur. Within the Gauḍīya sampradāya’s lineage of Gurus, he shines like the sun in the morning sky. Through the saṅkīrtan of Śrīman Mahāprabhu he rescues the souls engulfed within the belly of the timiṅgila of illusionism and bestows upon them the ecstasy of swimming in the nectarean ocean of divine love for Kṛṣṇa.
