He is firmly fixed in the Bhagvatam dharma and every moment His heart is bathing in and playing and enjoying in the transcendental flood of love overflowing from this great Scripture (Srimad Bhagavatam). By always bestowing His merciful glance upon the materialist men, He vanquishes their miseries. He is knowledge of the Absolute Truth personified. He is Detachment from material association personified. He is Krishnaprema (love of Godhead, for Sri Krishna) personified. Therefore I offer my respectful obeisances unto the lotus feet of SrilaMahavisnu Goswami Maharaj, my worshipable and beloved Spiritual Master. Srimad Bhagvatam 1.2.12 purport Devotional service, which is based on the foreground of full knowledge combined with detachment from material association and which is fixed by the aural reception of the Vedānta-śruti, is the only perfect method by which the seriously inquisitive student can realize the Absolute Truth. 2 Contents Srila Maha Visnu Goswami Pranam Mantra
