The Western world is indeed very fortunate to receive information for the first time regarding the wonderful biography of Srila Gaurakisora dasa babaji. This compilation originally appeared in 1919 in a monthly periodical, Sajjanatosani, published in the Bengali language. A series of articles under the heading Amara prabhura katha were written and published under the guidance of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, the sole disciple of Srila Gaurakisora dasa babaji. In 1934 the disciples of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura composed the serial articles and other narrations they directly heard from Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati in biography form entitled Paramaguru Sri Gaurakisora. The present attempt in the English language is a direct rendering of that biography with the hope that the thirst of the sincere seekers of India's spiritual wealth will be partially quenched. Srila Gaurakisora dasa babaji's personal life draws a permanent line which separates those divinely inspired from the impostors in his own school of thought, and provides a crystal clear conception of how this uttama-adhikari, or most advanced soul, perceived reality.
