Introduction

Despite his wild appearance and demeanor, Çréla
Vaàç édäsa Bäbäjé Mahäräja was a bona fide saint of
the Gauòéya Vaiñëava sampradäya. All almanacs of the
Gauòéya Maöha and its offshoots record his tirobhäva-
tithi. Yet prior to the publishing of this book, few devotees
of the Western world had even heard the name Vaàç édäsa
Bäbäjé. Hence, with great pleasure, and in expectation of
receiving blessings from Çréla Vaàç édäsa Bäbäjé and my
readers, I hereby present this book. Admitting my inability
to properly describe the transcendental personality of
Çréla Vaàç édäsa Bäbäjé, I request that the faults in this
presentation be overlooked.

May Bäbäjé Mahäräja bless us all.
