Initiating Acharyas of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math. The Acharya Board of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math gathered in Nabadwip and met together often in order to give support to the central Math, which faced various challenges while Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj was abroad preaching, as well as to strengthen the international Mission. Headed by Srila B.N. Acharya Maharaj, they agreed that Srila Govinda Maharaj's Last Will and Testament be made available. It is six months since Srila Bhakti Sundar Govinda Dev-Goswami Maharaj passed away, and the Acharya Board, headed by Srila Acharya Maharaj, felt that it is now time that each of the senior sannyasis mentioned by Srila Govinda Maharaj in his Will, will take the responsibility of initiating sincere seekers as Gurus of Sri Chaitanya Saraswat Math in their own right. They each expressed much humility in being given such responsibility, and expressed their support of each other in continuing to take care of the affectionate, sincere family of our Spiritual Masters. In addition to declaring Sripad Bhakti Nirmal Acharya Maharaj as the next Acharya of this Math, the initiating Acharyas mentioned in the Will are Sripad Avadhut Maharaj, Sripad Janardan Maharaj, Sripad Ashram Maharaj, Sripad Giri Maharaj and Sripad Trivikram Maharaj.
