Re: Photos of Shrila Bhaktivinoda Thakura

Nityaananda! Gauraanga! Hare Krishna! Thanks Igor. That last photo is perhaps one of the rare real photos we have of an Acharya when the Acharya is directly and completely absorbed and present in the pastimes of Lords Nityaananda Gauraanga and Shri Shri Radha Krishna in a bhajanaanandi mood. After his acceptance of babaji vesha (which should not be imitated) from Shrila Gaura Kishora Dasa Babaji, Shrila Sacchidananda Bhaktivinoda Thakura went into seclusion in his Bhakti Kuti in Kolkata to complete immerse himself in the highest Naama Rasa and Bhajana Pranaali which he himself described in the Jaiva Dharma and Hari Naama Chintaamani. He is undoubtedly totally immersed and present in the Lord's Pastimes and seeing and talking to the Lord when that photo has been taken.

Daaso'smi, Swami Gaurangapada.
