(3/5) The Gift of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu – Our Most Cherished Aspiration

In Part 3, we venture into the unimaginably sacred goal of the Gauḍīyas. Authentic Vaiṣṇavas in the line of Śrīla Sarasvatī Ṭhākura Prabhupāda hold this goal above their head in utmost reverence. Śrīla Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja was ever-careful to preserve its sanctity, while clearly establishing it as our ultimate aspiration.

We pray that this presentation is chaste to his own.

Aspiring to serve Śrī Guru and the Vaiṣṇavas
