His Holiness Śrīla Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja is renowned for exemplifying the Vaiṣṇava culture of love, wisdom and compassion .He personifies the character of pure devotional service. One of the treasures of my life is the joy of remembering the many years of our chanting and dancing together, sharing our hearts in soulful discussions and serving the mission of our beloved Guru Maharaja. As many of us feel the depths of separation from Bhakti Charu Maharaja since his departure from the physical world, Chāru Vilās will bring us into his divine presence in very special ways. I pray that many fortunate souls will be enthusiastic to read Chāru Vilās and be inspired to receive Śrīla Prabhupāda’s divine grace through the teachings and pastimes of his beloved representative, Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaja.
