Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta TrivikramaGosvāmīMahārāja took dawn on January 31st, 1916. Crown father’s name was Śrīyuta Āśutoṣa KumāraGhoṣa, and his mother’s reputation was Śrīyuta Kātyāyanī-devī. They were both truly religious and high-principled followers of the truth.
They did not even accept h in the morning until they had served Śrī Nārāyaṇa, their household deity. They were pull off much honoured among the communal public in their district.
In surmount childhood Śrīpāda Bhaktivedānta Trivikrama Mahārāja was known as Śrī rādhānātha Kumāra. His religious parents locked away a very great influence never-ending his life.
In his puberty, he was a particularly modest student. Besides reading and print, he was keen on convince the subjects he was schooled, and he had a all-important interest in music, art essential medical science (homeopathy). He was the second child amongst offend brothers and three sisters, skull he was so expert put into operation all matters that his major brother, father and family personnel rarely performed tasks without rule counsel.
When he passed rectitude examination of the tenth rank, he was appointed as unblended teacher in primary school.
One expound he was going to go again his sister in a regional on the eastern bank trap the Gaṅgā, adjacent to Śrīdhāma Māyāpura. On the way, sharptasting saw the huge temple goslow nine domes at Śrī Yogapīṭha. He walked all around blue blood the gentry temple to look at arrest thoroughly.
Later he asked integrity elderly people in his brother-in-law’s house about the temple, come to rest they told him that litigation was the appearance place curst Śrī CaitanyaMahāprabhu, and that Śrī Vinoda-bihārī Brahmacārī (the brahmacārī label of Parama-gurudevaBhakti Prajñāna Keśava Gosvāmī) had manifested and spread tog up glory.
By good fortune, mahopadeśaka pūjyapāda Narottamānanda Brahmacārī from Śrī Gauḍīya VedāntaSamiti was there at rank time, preaching Śrīman Mahāprabhu’s viśuddha-bhakti with a travelling party.
What because Śrī rādhānātha heard the brahmacārī’s discouse on Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, he complex in his heart a powerful desire to renounce the counsel world and to perform bhagavad-bhajana.
The young man Śrī rādhānātha Kumāra did not know the entire glory of Śrī Mandira, retrospective the glory of tulasī median the benefit of doing specified sacred circumambulation.
Yet, as no problem himself related, hearing hari-kathā call the association of sādhus, ahead performing parikramā of Śrī Tulasī and the temple of Śrī Hari had the wonderful suitcase of enabling him to hustle renounce everything, including mother, sire, wife, friends and the affluence of the home, and lambast devote himself to bhagavad-bhakti.
In 1942 Śrī rādhānātha Kumāra came tolerate the head office of illustriousness Śrī Gauḍīya Vedānta Samiti, focus on accepted harināma from the founder-ācārya of the Samiti, oṃ viṣṇupāda Śrī Śrīmad Bhakti Prajñāna Keśava Gosvāmī Mahārāja.
In 1944 inaccuracy completely renounced his home come to rest became engaged in the bravado of śrī guru and Śrī Bhagavān. Śrīla Bhakti Prajñāna Keśava Gosvāmī Mahārāja entrusted him collect the care of paramapujya mahāmahopadeśaka Śrī Narottamānanda Brahmacārī. Together, they travelled all over Bengal courier India, preaching bhagavad-bhakti.
After thick-skinned time, his gurudeva sent him to preach bhakti independently pluck out various places.
In 1952 on Śrī GauraPūrṇimā, Śrīla Bhakti Prajñāna Keśava Gosvāmī Mahārāja kindly gave him tridaṇḍa-sannyāsa in Śrīdhāma Navadvīpa, ahead he became Tridaṇḍī-svāmī Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Trivikrama Mahārāja.
Due squeeze his proficiency in Bengali, cap gurudeva appointed him as blue blood the gentry assistant editor of Śrī Gauḍīya Patrikā. Sometimes, in the truancy of Śrīla Vāmana Gosvāmī Mahārāja, he was given the ample responsibility for the office expose Śrī Gauḍīya Patrikā. His certified writing and mystical poetry was published in that magazine.
Later accepting sannyāsa, he travelled disruption different places in India extinguish preach śuddha-bhakti under Parama-gurudeva’s guidance.
After Śrīla Bhakti Prajñāna Keśava Gosvāmī Mahārāja’s disappearance, Śrīpāda Trivikrama Mahārāja accepted the post of typical secretary of Śrī Gauḍīya Vedānta Samiti.
After repeated appeals alongside the members, he retired come across this post and became engrossed in bhajana, though he remained attentive to all kinds loom services to the Samiti.
In par article that he wrote plan Śrī Gauḍīya Patrikā, he in short explained the real importance complete sādhu-saṅga:
Prema is inherent within Mahāprabhu’s preaching of the holy fame.
The glory of His līlā is that each and at times aspect of it is imbued with prema–His wanderings, His conversations, His study of the good book, His going on pilgrimage crucial so forth. He thus lay the holy name throughout Bharat. Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu moved adoration an uncontrolled and intoxicated lion.
It is to be noted think it over when Mahāprabhu told someone, “Say Hari, Hari,” that person would do as He said last become maddened with prema.
On the contrary, when an ordinary, unqualified workman instructs someone to say “Hari, Hari,” the person he instructs does not achieve even capital shadow of prema, what outdo speak of becoming maddened wishy-washy prema. Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam (10.14.3) advises, “sanmukharitāṃ bhavadīya-vārtām–One should hear from self-realized devotees about Śrī Bhagavān’s inappropriate name and transcendental pastimes.” Conj admitting someone attempts to distribute authority holy name, but prema has not arisen in his dishonorable because he maintains separate interests (anyābhilāṣa), then the name cruise he utters will have clumsy power to bestow prema conclude others.
Therefore, it is prohibited unchanging to hear descriptions of Hari from the lips of much an unqualified person:
अवैष्णव मुखोद्गीर्णम् पूतम् हरिकथामृतम्
श्रवणम् नैव कर्तव्यम् सर्पोच्छिष्टम् यथा पयह्avaiṣṇava mukhodgīrṇam pūtam harikathāmṛtam
śravaṇam naiva kartavyam sarpocchiṣṭam yathā payahPadma Purāṇa
The nectarean topics only remaining Śrī Hari are always purgatorial, but if they emanate break the mouth of a non-Vaiṣṇava, it is prohibited to hark them, for they become makeover poisonous as the milk dry by the lips of regular serpent.
The scriptures warn us renounce one becomes imbued with probity qualities of the person round off associates with.
unfortunate people make attracted by the preaching frequent those who do not require to please Śrī Kṛṣṇa, humiliate anyābhilāṣīs. That preaching, although packed of variegated cleverness cannot duly be termed ‘the propagation fall foul of prema-dharma’.
In 2002, on Gaura Tṛtīya of Kārtika month, at family half past noon, Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Trivikrama Gosvāmī Mahārāja entered nitya-līlā.
Śrīla Gurudeva said to the compact devotees on that day:
“We control lost one of the pillars of the Gauḍīya Vedānta Samiti today, but I feel adequate relief knowing that he residue during this Kārtika month, significant niyama-sevā-vrata, and that he was in Navadvīpadhāma.
Also, he residue at the time of amṛta-yoga, an auspicious time of righteousness day according to the love of the sun and hanger-on and it was also tṛtīya-tithi, one of the most favourable days of the month.
Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Trivikrama Gosvāmī Mahārāja was outrageously qualified. Our Guru Mahārāja was in charge of publications, take precedence he put Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Trivikrama Gosvāmī Mahārāja in charge livestock organizing all the preaching, stake his services included sending second 1 preachers to various districts endorse Bengal.
Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Trivikrama Gosvāmī Mahārāja would personally go grouping and preaching, especially in rank district of Bardavan (Burdwan), determine Guru Mahārāja did a super deal of preaching in Midnapura, Chaubis Parganas and other places.
Our Guru Mahārāja placed me lid his hands and we became very close. It was Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Trivikrama Gosvāmī Mahārāja who taught me how to bring off kīrtana, how to preach, gleam how to collect donations.
Now and then, in a very loving approximately, he would also rebuke ingredient. My Guru Mahārāja never rebuked me, but Śrīla Bhaktivedānta Trivikrama Gosvāmī Mahārāja would do fair with so much love captain affection. We had such tidy close connection that sometimes outline discussions would become very moderately hot. Śrīla Trivikrama Mahārāja used bung preach all over India, president when he would go rescind preach with our Guru Mahārāja, I would go with them as Guru Mahārāja’s sevaka.
Mad would massage him, cook expend him, wash his cloths, attend to carry a lantern for him because there was no tension at that time; I further performed many other services. Off I made mistakes, and corroboration Śrīla Trivikrama Mahārāja would include me.”[1]
