2003 || Gaṅgā Safari (Part-2) #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

A recorded multi-speaker pilgrimage conversation (Gaṅgā Safari Part-2, 2003) led by Jaya Pataka Swami with attendees (Sam and several speakers). The group recounts and interprets pastimes of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda—stories about miracles at the Ganga, devotional conversions (e.g., Raghunath), local festivals (Chira-dahili), and holy sites (Panihati, Bhagawan Gola, Tamlook). The session mixes narrative, practical pilgrimage details, exhortations on chanting/mercies of Kali Yuga, and a short kirtan.
There's so much.
What is the best way like for you to encourage like you know youth inspire and encourage others again like I see not so many youth extraordinarily like I've lost their experience to take out of. How can we encourage others to come? That's not really a philosophical question.
It's more like a practice.
When children are young.
So depending on what kind of association they have how much they're able to maybe just a general thing that I could serve. And then England and in Malaysia they have this association with each other. Seems to be the most effective way to ensure that it will be the lamp were placed in a group home that previously was under Buckingham 4. Most of the children that I know most of the alumni have retained the boys they seek greeting Alika and Sydney. I graduated Rayan. I can't even think of any devotees that graduated. It's a combination of many factors. How much the parents have been responsible for loving what's the association as the Krishna Gujar. No matter how early usually they take initiation or they dedicate themselves to Krishna when they're younger. A lot of them survive the terrible things rather than. There are pockets of devotees that have become Christian practice. I don't know which other areas maybe.
I.
Am and I don't know who that meant was what I know mostly from other end that I know from my upper seat. That's right. They said that many months within the study it showed that one of the parents was Krishna's other words in Maya that the children had a defeated.
As.
Far as right there he was a child. They baked him against his father. When he was even like two or three years old. He brought that is 18.
Of the.
House and all was young. And when he was a child like 5, 6, 7 years old then he was very naughty again.
I.
Got all the cat.
Day.
One.
Time was walking alongside the river. He was chanting his dietary. He didn't understand why the river was coming up and up and down. He looked over and he saw that there was a school this morning as he walked further from the gantry.
All.
Of a sudden the boy came up too high for the Bugatti to reach out. And he saw the personality of Makadavi come out of the water and offer nasces.
With his boy.
His whole life he was very profound devotee very much this was like his wife's wish out of the water. You don't feel this to anybody. And I don't want anybody to know that I don't. But if you want you can stay at one.
Then he will remove the Brahmana from this world.
It's.
Party. You guys have already fixed it up. Then they were going by sail. If you have a nice thing like this, you had a very big scale. Either you had to pull it.
Design. What do they.
Think?
It's 65.
The one people is building.
What do these big boats carry?
Guma.
Sell different things. Whatever fits in a container.
Yeah.
And he showed me the deities and they're really beautiful program in Neely's. I went back to the astonish about even things. So I brought them back to the Kimandanam. Then I went to Nam and then Chakra. And he said oh, we'll see these pictures back here. When we heard that they're in Lal Gola in Bangawan Gola. And we went to Bhagawan Gola at the temple of Ramchandra.
Surfing.
Hundred rupees. Then I look at them on the same day. They said I'm wrestling abroad as well. We should get to death because engaged to us. Then we sit back in the Prabhupada. Change of method. Right after that we installed those dd. Then we clicked the DD just like we're going like towards the village.
Of course.
We just have a small party at the gator here in the much. I suggest you also have a hurry now.
Sometime.
It was like too much work.
Everybody.
Was my next the board.
It's. It's not fair. It's not fair.
We're already here.
He's going out.
Like I had a realization once I saw something. And then I told Prabhupada.
And he told me.
Don't tell anybody else, Sam.
But Sam.
If I read from Shaitanya Bhagavas then the Bengalis don't mischance.
And then we can translate it English.
Sat area is called Chatra boat.
That first place we went is the.
Place where Lord Chaitanya came and saw the gant.
This place is humbling up 8,000 at this place. When Bagheerat was bringing the Ganges down to liberate his forefathers he was feeling great separation from mother Ganga.
That's all.
Then when you leave the safari, you're going to also feel separation from Ganga.
Good.
The laughing and feeling separation. Ranga. So when Shiva came here.
Then at this place.
He was feeling so much separation from the Ganga. Then he touched against his.
Excellent.
And then he mixed with the Ganges. He took a water form.
That means.
Water linga.
Then.
Ganga Devi when he was worshipping Ganga Devi. And Ganga Devi was worshiping Shiva. Because Shiva knows how much devotion Ganga has for Krishna. And Gandha knows how much bhakti and how great bhakti Shiva has for Krishna and how great Shiva is. So they are worshiping each other out of respect.
And.
After that the Shiva took this form and has been worshipped here in the middle of a the special place. Parvati's place covered with against his word. So Lord Chaitanya then he came 500 years ago he also came to this place. And here in this temple there is Shiva Parvati also. I didn't see but there's supposed to be also a Christian baby.
How good is that you guys?
So.
We watched it and they came here and he saw this place also. The Ganges had divided into a hundred different tributaries.
I'm sorry I didn't.
Came here.
The Ganga was split into 100 tributaries. When Lord Chaitanya came here. Then you can still see the chimnas. You know the markings of 100. But he was feeling so much separation of Krishna that he was crying in ecstasy. And his flow of tears was making another hundred flows.
England and one western. Who can do better?
Let the sister foreign ladies do what. And then the Bengalis and see how not only that with the voice and the safari. One, two, please go.
Very good.
Hallelujah. So.
At this time one devotee came and offered his obeisances to Lord Chaitanya. Each devotee was normally materialistic guy. But seeing Lord Chaitanya's tears flowing, seeing the whole thing, his heart changed. And he immediately wanted to surrender to what you're telling us.
Trying to find the hunt.
It was that darn ape.
He offered his flat out obesiences.
And.
Someone said. Then he the Lord Shaitan said who are you? I am the servant of your servant to servant make. I want to simply serve your Lord. Please give me the. Then someone said actually this is Ramchandra Khan who is the Adikari and the whole song. Southern Bengal. There's two rounds of one bad guy.
In the north and a good guy in the south.
So this one here was in charge of the whole southern Bengal on behalf of government. Big officer.
Very good.
You have got the big post.
Very good.
Whatever I have is only by your mercy. And I'm simply here to serve you. Give me the order. What service I can do for you? Well, I would like to go to Jagannath Puri.
Sam.
I would.
Okay.
This place was this very full of documents. And actually it is dangerous to travel.
Yeah.
This place was the border of two countries. Naturally it was dangerous.
Coffee.
So after the cut, they showed that no problem. I will help so that you can cross the river. I have an request to you. You come become my guest.
I take Prasad.
Then he consulted his auction and decided to take Prasad in the house of a Brahmin devotee.
No, the Brahmin could just. He arranged for the Brahmin with the cooking.
And so then.
After that one place construction a picture. And along with other devotees he started chanting that.
And everyone was chanting that.
Everybody was chanting.
At that time.
G. So he took bath and had a lot of fun playing there in the water. Midnight Nam Chandra Array had a booth and had Mahrabhu passed cross the river in that boat. Left Bengal and went to Kurisha language.
Yeah. At that time.
At that time, remember we saw. We saw the Ruf Narayan river. A big, big river. As we are coming down from Bauri. Bauri on the right. There was a very big river. That river joined into the Ganga. That river is called the Roop Narayan. So around Rosuchen came point from here over to a place called Tamloop. But now that Tamlook is not by the river either.
Used to be.
And then from there he went. So we are not. We're going to go nearest place after we go back from Saga Island.
That's just for the surprise.
So Das Mahapubbhu had his pastime here. And this is his eternal pastime place.
So.
This is one of the border of Goldmandal Bhoomi and fast and place.
We are.
You are all of your jubilant enchanting and dancing we enjoy.
Now we can hear a message from His Holiness. And I'll research a little more.
If there's any other details I left out.
Now.
Anybody here want to take a bath soon?
Yes.
At the place where Lord Chaitanya left his Buddh dust in the water. When he left Krishna Prema.
So you want to bathe there?
Yes.
If you bathe there, we cannot guarantee that when you come out it'll be the same. You may be transformed. Transformation.
Yeah.
But he turned in the water here. That's why it's called Ambalinga.
Okay.
I would like to ask.
He's keeping quiet, huh?
All right.
We have always the mercy. Everybody needs mercy. Kali Yuga is very polished. So we see all around us so much simple activity. Short life is full of disease. But to say this glorify the Kali Yuga. Because in Kali Yuga Krishna has made it very, very easy to get a consciousness to Suprema.
Hare Krishna.
Krishna Krishna. So he associates with the Very fallen, sinful people. He goes in the crematorium. The associates was intoxicated. And that's why he Benedicts them. So the devotees also we worship Siva.
But as the Vaishnava, as Guru Amnavas.
He's standing Rama. So he's always meditating. And Advaitacharya Shiva. He called so that we can all give so much ecstasy and mercy. So easy. This is flowing now all over the world.
We keep saying how to make.
Ganga.
Is flowing all across India. And people will come from very far away just to stay in the Ganga. But like Krishna and Vrindavan.
One time when he saw the cowherd.
Men they were getting ready to go somewhere.
Where are you going?
But they said they're going somewhere for the Ganga. Krishna is a small place. Why you go to so much trouble? Ganga is here. Normally Ganga is not there, but river coming called Manasi. Ganga came from Krishna's mind, brought the Ganga there for his people. He went even more places than the.
Ganga doesn't go.
Very quickly. You get. He aspired Nitranda and then Sheila Prabhupada. Our Guru Mahaj. He went to the West. He went everywhere in the world. Not only India.
We are trying.
We're trying to coming here. We want to get power. We want to get the blessings of the. We have Ravana and I don't know what else.
Here we have.
All the different avatars.
Beautiful place. We hope you people will renovate it. Make it like new again. Because anybody comes here can remember Trisha.
Krishna.
Can remember Krishna. I can't see all of them clearly. Those who are not envious, those who are not full of lust and anger. They can see still that the pastimes of Lord Chaitanya are still going on. Because what did he do?
Krishna.
He talked about Krishna. He remembered Krishna. When he traveled in South India. He met Shiva. Shiva and Parvati. They were living there for three days. They is discussed Krishna. We can do that. There's Krishna. Leela, mundane Leela. It's not ordinary what we see when we go out. Everyone is reading the newspaper. They want Saddam Hussein Leela.
Now let us have the.
Just waste. Not going down and dragging themselves away from Krishna. It's easy to remember Krishna in Kali Yuga. We only have to chant Hare Krishna. We want to try one time to make the roof go right up. So the Dave is here, the champ. We want Lord Brahma to here. We want Indra.
Indra.
Everybody. We want the demons to hear also the Raksha. Should everybody and everybody to Join the Kirtan Hare Krishna. Krishna, Krishna. So we see all these avatars that Krishna killed a demon.
Or should they bark for a queue?
But instead said that Caitanya Mah Prabhu is so much superior to all the other avatars. He didn't kill anyone. He gave Krishna Prema. Give it to anyone who would take it. Anyone who will open the heart. Krishna, Krishna.
Alcohol.
Anybody coming from those who are coming.
For Russia, please stand up.
They want to see Russia bodily conscious time.
Stand up.
The scholars say that Russia comes from Rishi. It's very cold there. So the Rishis would go there for Sapaska. They have rubles, rupees, many things.
Raise Sam nai sam.
Sa.
Kar sam.
Kamika. There's two holy places in Panihati that are very important. This is one. This is place where the Cheddar festival, the flat rice and yogurt festival was held. The other is not far from here. Just a couple hundred meters is the place of Raghava Pandit in Damayamti Devi. So we have Darshan here. Speak a little bit. We go there, have Darshan Aradamadanmohan. Speak a little bit. We come back here and have the Sabbath here in this place.
This.
Richie said he wants to give you some time to do your personal things like watch your clothes for a few minutes and then we'll go onwards. That's just a schedule to get you mentally prepared. We chanted here 45 minutes. Connected to what you heard from Mahavishna Maharaj when he was telling about Raghunatha Goswami how he was so wealthy and had a beautiful wife like an angel and unlimited money like Indra. But he was totally detached and he wanted to simply join Chichanima to vu. So those pastimes are connected. But you've already heard those pastimes. After trying to join Chaitanya Mahaprabhu many times and failing.
Then finally he got an idea.
And.
He came to see Lord Nithyanandama here to get his blessings. So Nithyananda was seated on a raised platform here under this tree. So this day before was very big. After 500 years, the center of the tree has gone and all the two sides are there. There was a huge tree giving a lot of shade. Even today it's giving a lot of sh. So he was seated under and around him were his associates like Minikitta Ram Dass, Abhiram Kapoor and Rishta Hora, many others. And then there was also so many other Brahmins and others. So when he saw Nijana looked like Soe Falchan with his devotees. Looked like the moon surrounded by my brilliant stars. So many moonsh the sun. So many.
Very.
Just like, very special. So immediately from a distance he offered his obeisances. So then Lord Nityananda said no. His servant said, there's ragun atas. When he heard that, he assumed you are thick. Just like a thief. You're staying away. So today I want to punish you. You come here, let me punish you. So he didn't jump out. He stayed lying down. He was playing his bases. Suddenly Fernanda, he's very jolly and humorous by nature. She wants to punish him. She came over and he put his lotus feet on his head and said, okay, your punishment is you have to feed all of my associates a feast of flat rice and yogurt. It's called Chira Dahili.
Now.
That punishment Raghunathas accepted great satisfaction. We know that he's a multi billionaire. For him it's no question or spending for such things. He was very happy to spend something for the.
So he.
Sent all his servants to purchase the materials for the feast. Tons and tons of dried rice and yogurt and different kinds of fruits and sweetening, honey and sugar and things.
And.
Condensed milk. Kira, Chini Chapa, colas, mangoes, jackfruit, lychees. Probably never seen a lychee. Many of you or jackfruit. You ever had a jackfruit? Who has not had.
Fruit?
Not this lg sweet fruit. Who has hair. Who has had a lychee? Who have a mango, chili, champacola, pretzel, banana, fossil, Chini Champa, sweetest banana. This banana is highest in vitamin C. So if you get it when it's not fully ripe, it tastes sour. But if it's fully ripe, it's very sweet. And it's also high in vitamin C. These crows are waiting for the feast. So I know many pastimes. But maybe this pastime is known by other swamis who would like to also.
Share.
This last night.
So we heard at the beginning. So Raghunath very happily went and purchased yogurt and condensed milk also Kira. And there were many, many Brahmanas there. And everyone got one big pot of each and a big pot of black rice and bananas and fruits. And there was a very, very big feast. Everybody was enjoying like anything. It became so crowded that some of them had to sit in the Ganga.
Couldn'T fiddle on the bank.
The Nityananda was an ecstasy. Lord Chaitanya came. But Lord Chaitanya was an apricot teacher. Nityananda could see him. But the other devotee, others, they couldn't see him. But Nityananda was walking.
Like this and.
Feeling Chaitanya Mahaprabhu in ecstasy that nobody.
Could see Lord Shetani. So that was. I don't know how long it went on. But it's a very, very big, big festival. Jaga Chakramaj is the expert because. Because in New Panihate. New Panihate in Atlanta and Georgia they have this festival every year. One of the big major festivals of America. And here they have it every time. They're very, very sweet. But this was one of the times whenever Lord Nityananda dance and Lord Chaitanya would come. Lord Nityananda was sitting here. He was decorated, dressed very opulently. He had a big crown and full of jewels. And he had this big ring on every finger and very beautiful silk cloth and garland. He was surrounded by all his associates. But it was by his benediction we heard that Raghunath later got liberated. But Ketania Stone, he told him, just behave yourself and be a good son. Don't keep trying to run away from your father. And I'll make arrangements. So this was a big breakthrough that he got the two lotus feet of Nitai on his head. It was a punishment because of his humility. He just paid obeisances from a distance and he didn't approach. But then the servants. There is Raghunath paying his obeisances to Dandavar. So he dragged him forward. And then he told him, you know, you have to give a big feast for all the devotees. Because he had a lot of money at that time. He was a rich man. So you should feed everybody. This was a place of a tremendous thousands and thousands of years. Brahmanas everybody came when they heard. It grew and grew and grew until they were, like I said, sitting in the Ganga. There was not enough space along the banks of the Ganga. Was there more.
Mari Namah.
Which is.
Welcoming all of you.
Actually, it's in the Brahman road that even this movement or planetary systems it's just standing Hare. Even the dialogues they are hearing very nicely. Because they know who is Chaitanya Mahapabu. They know who is the whole Sampradaya. They know who is his divine race, age. So he has exceeded even the order of his spiritual master to preach in the West. Now his representatives are teaching everywhere around the world. You can see. So please keep all of this in your heart. When you remember and chant the holy name. It is not just some village thing. You keep your heart great pride in this Hare Krishna Mantra. All the flies, bugs and germs and worms, they also benefit.
All the way.
From Indra Gopa Germ King of Heaven.
Lord Indra himself also benefits.
Do you please go on chanting?
We request Makanla to lead a very intensive five minute kirtan before we break.
And go for our bed.
So we can all be united.
United.
States. Ra.
Sa.
Sam. Ra Ram.
It.
Sam It Jam Sam.
