श्रीसद्गुरुरुवाच

अत्र सङ्कीर्तितः कृष्णः शरणागतवत्सलः |

प्रतिक्ष्लोकं प्रतिपदं प्रत्यक्षरपि प्रियाः ||

शृतिस्मृतितिहासानां पुरानानाञ्च वैष्णवाः |

सारभूतेयमाभाति श्रीमद्वैष्णवसंहिता ||

नष्टे सनातने धर्मे नास्तिकप्रचुरे कलौ ||

अवतीर्णो महात्मानः श्रीवैष्णवोराज्ञयैव ते |

सहस्त्रशः सदाचार्याः संप्रदायप्रवर्तकाः ||

तेषां दिव्यचरित्रेषु वैष्णवानां महात्मनाम् |

दृश्यते वैष्णवो धर्मः कृष्णसङ्कीर्तनात्मकः ||

साध्यं विष्णुपदं नित्यं साधनं नामकीर्तनम् |

सर्वेषां संप्रदायानां सारोsयं न हि संशयः ||

तस्मात्सङ्कीर्तयेत्कृष्णं सदा सर्वत्र सर्वथा |

संप्रदायान्तरद्वेषं विनैव दृढनिष्ठया ||

इत्युक्तवन्तं सुगुणं सद्गुरुं वैष्णवोत्तमाः |

सर्वे प्राञ्जलयः प्रोचुः प्रणम्य च पुनः पुनः ||

Shri Sadguru said

Here (in this book), the praise of Lord Krishna, the benefactor of the surrendered souls, is sung by each letter, each word and each shlock. Oh! Vaishnavas! This book Vaishnava Samhita gives the essence of Srutis, Smritis, Itihas and Puranas. Sanatana Dharma has been lost in this Kaliyuga. Majority of the people have turned atheists. Hence to establish Bhagavata Dharma, many of those exalted personalities who are the path finders and reputed preceptors were born as commanded by Lord Shri Vishnu.The pious lives of these great vaishnavas exhibit Vaishnava Dharma in the form of the kirtan of Lord Krishna. The goal is the eternal abode of Lord Vishnu. Singing in praise of Him is the means of attaining the goal undoubtedly. This is the essence of all Sampradayas. So, always, at all places and at all cost, the praise of Lord Krishna has to be sung with a firm belief, without entertaining any idea of finding fault with different Sampradayas. The good-natured Sadguru taught all this to his disciples. Listening to him, the devotee prostrated before him many times and then folded hands said the following.
