Jaya Pataka Swami shares decades of memories from temple life in North America, from Montreal to Los Angeles starting in 1970. He recounts devotees' care during his 1967 stroke and paralysis, deity installations, and the practical work of building temples and handling legal disputes.
Foreign I left North America in 1970 and I was there until Saturday night. So only 1980 that so all my experience with Albert was in Montreal, Boston, Los Angeles and Maya. And like so first for 20 some years I heard many times the wonderful experience because the only was that the day before he arrived when he changed the lives of course he would listen praise, you know ourselves clean and so nice walked into the temple. He walked around the 83 times praying without trusting us. Now see that time we have mainly farms. We didn't have so many Indian disciples. Some Indians have many new disciples and Christophorn foreigners are. I live rocks for the world. I am currently a citizen but of course I was born in the west. So you take me away, which I don't. But in my college adolesa a few without some forest at that time at all harm For a long time I was saying I am an elderly Indian. Here are all young people and you're from different countries. How is it that we have such a close relationship between us? The children are young and old. They don't have close relationship and certainly not three different countries. They don't have a very close relationship. So. So thank you all the devotees more and more and having one was very tired to hear ourselves all up he morning fastest way and he ran a walk. He came around to Darshan Holiness six times. At that time we didn't have a large arana. He had a small arana and large. The Solomon said they should have a restaurant like they said a restaurant. They needed a Shah Yashira. So someone donated a Shah Yashira. And then I said oh, Shalom or Chaitanya. So I went to Laya and Dara stood his face down and I felt that our studying Lord Chaitanya was larger than the Radhakrishna the astrology. They are the same size and it was smaller. So what Chitra says we call Krishna is 5 foot 10, Karmarum is 5 foot 6 and the ghosts is 5 foot 4. So he accepted. He said that he had to lift up so those are the deities that we were worshipping seated at least to be the altar. So installed the durities on JDC if it installed or not shifted their small arctic to the altar. And then the altar became the so the first day until my eyes on the first day of that person earlier. So he sat down in his seat. So I thought I was making a right off the desk to read all over. When you follow Jeff Wood. Jeff Wood is yellow in color. And the side of the yellow side in essence is a But pretty hard. The heart of the Lord that's less. I guess even my boxing was perfect. So evening just from the heart of the work. I thought this was odd that you look at it now. You see it's very simple. We enter ourselves and it's not like freaking long ass and all the tires and the wood. It was very simple. But 12 hours still turned and he accepted it. He said okay, there he is later in my room. And I said what's up to 12 months standard I should. So he would drink. He would drink without touching. And then he said or dying and life for it's all the same. Or today live in life is the kingdom of God. And if you die here you will get it. So you're living and dying. It's the same. I didn't know that prophet actually had a stroke in 1967. He was paralyzed from the neck down by massage he was. He actually told Dr. Archaeologist they took on a wheelchair and they got outside the hospital and prison the temple. And she just stayed in the temple giving him a massage. And somehow annoying like the first couple months I was buried he was sitting up, preaching to the devotees non stop parallel. His lower external features paralyzed. So gradually this came around and we saw 1968 that all I was like a young 19 year old. One day I heard that and he had a stroke. And he was paralyzed and going on his room and couldn't help but cry. How much something he had learned for hours and kept down 15 inside of his son his dialysis. So in the beginning of my son he came to visit the Lotus building. And the building was dark first the clothing was not strong. There was feet and hanging from the toilet. And they would wherever the night cell was that would go into the can't. Who did that hurts take the can down. So I really only believe it hurts. So sometimes we got the shit and kick up. One time held over he started calling home. And there he was holding the door. And inside the door was a viper. A snake. Highly poisonous. Not as much as. So this is not like you're not turning to this analogy. I closed it pressing the light up. Nothing happened. But I thought that maybe this life that was planted. Every snake has its name. Lifted the eyes of the dead snake see the perfection of the last person that is looking at. That's why it's so then the dead. So they say you are given both one, you got to give the main two. Otherwise the men of the wood there are. And there's an ice flipper. So in this case the saddest went down in the shoot I look so I have a little sale 67% pop tar noise and 30% are Indians now that 95% are Indians and 45% foreigners imagine the lighter foreigners compared to they have over 10001500 now nearly 100200 there were two kids for husband wife justice can resell it the child she would give RNA relations so then there was like a big husband wife that and then she came into shelter and found him he came he made some court case local management said that she knew often talking at her children she answered oh, she goes and he went I made a teen application that kicked off his wife so she had to go to court because the virality came on solid is all so the detective has promised against yourself that's one reason why we shouldn't take you know there's something to take vowels or this and that come in and you can't pick it up then after takes such a long time to tagless homos and his world what is his title? Why is it man and his world God and his world Krishna's law not mantra and anyway he went to see so he was treated as a VIP cast of feminine subsidy and also many who was assigned to him to be now the tour guide she now had a chair uptight I should have said that I said she's such a nice hair thank you softened her and she is expanding this and that so that was the world's fair and held the way to the Indian civilian Nigerian preps there Somehow I was fortunate that I came onto the camera from San Francisco and the very first day who is that? You know this is a Dr. Jake okay you took over for less prompt so and then going on I said I showed up in the morning from New York so I told them I sit you know really husky guy at the time so fast in the honor advice and the three stars and the curse and that's what I saw that time I told you all about in San Francisco I couldn't find out before I go to so then I thought I'd go to India and find even astronomy Sambhar tells about how he went to India and he went silly too so I heard that I was talking about India but he had some nice house and he had some tough times still so I told the Lord singing the Roman Indian he looked at me and he said I'll send I'll turn your and I'll send him any later out so my seat was already sealed the Herze station and sure enough, it goes to 1970 I was sent to him in but so I was kept as the assistant tom to the secretariat of Baba. At that time I was also so my neighborhood was to worship in the afternoon until he was rest. He had a set outside his fellow so had to always be there. So he usually didn't though he was sitting there. But sometimes we kind of gave the human top gigantic cockroaches turned out this little rope I gave the whole world to enjoy jumped in front of him. He said so the secretary came off and told us some of the participants in those days we were it was still at 9 o' clock that you would call Jaravan mutton just a red storm and get from so far like me there's white cloth and said I'll take the virus so sitting in bathtub along with two stones here turning it so there's a lot of iron. Finally we got to the point of satisfying the bhagwat. It's a question that it's dialogue Parashama So then the touches of white so after some time I know so twisted really not criticized this this was very effective but at first I was using that and sometimes grows up I would walk Alexa, you know I've been winning and one time there are things very healthy person healthy. She said a text she called up and the texture let's try something called yeah so I really had theology I had but in the book it said that Hari Dash Tako when I hear it has some kind of thought over this line which I heard is a longer and made it up so here I was I was a little up out here this so I said okay but so thank you for watching our videos.
