Dedication

This, the first volume of an intended series of publications of «Sermons,» is dedicated to the immense spirit of unrivalled dedication to Guru-sevā excited in we disciples by Srīla Guru Mahārāja, the author of the worshipful, energetic conceptions contained herein

O to bethink His wondrous darśans heretofore unknown;

Beseeming Eternal Truths dispensed

from His philosopher’s throne  —

a lovely old wooden chair.

How could we have dreamed

of such unheralded heights?

Simply a perch at His Divine-feet could relegate all cares  —

O Pray Thee bless us we may serve Him e’er . . .
