20110529 || Śrīla Prabhupāda Festival || Los Angeles, USA #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

A first-person spoken reminiscence delivered at a Srila Prabhupāda festival. The speaker—who notes slowed speech after a stroke—thanks speakers and recounts scriptural references (Brahmā Purāṇa prophecy of a 10,000-year influence), joining the Krishna Consciousness movement in North America, meeting Srila Prabhupāda (in Montreal), being sent to India and other service postings, working long construction shifts, and personal anecdotes illustrating Prabhupāda's character (compassion, insistence on work) and spiritual signs (ants carrying eggs, insects, earthquake). The tone mixes devotion, historical reflection, and humble personal testimony.
Ash, I hope I can be understood. I still have my faces up. I'm paralyzed after the stroke, so I'll try to speak. I only have to speak a little slower. My speech taste doesn't keep up with my mind. After hearing the authoring of lecture of his Holiness Hidden otherwise I was very deeply moved. His lecture was very nice and it highlights how historically Prabhupada, his calling and Roger Dunnis coming had created a whole change in the world. And however you are in the future they can have a close relationship with a direct relationship with Srila Prabhupada. So all I think points were very nice. Overwhelming. I thought well before I thought, well, I'll kill. So I thought, no, I don't want anyway. I'd just like to thank Hidden Raj for all his nice presentation. Krishna, he also in the Brahma by Raja Purana, he told the holy rivers that you should tolerate 5,000 years. And he'll send someone who will go around the world and give his holy name and give bhakti to all the people. And of those lifestyles will come and bathe the holy rivers. And so there'll be a 10,000 golden age in the Kali Yuga where every one will be one caste, one varna. He's an Akavarna Hare Lakhta, the authorities of Hari Sam. You know, we heard Prabhupada say his books will be the law of books for 10,000 years. You heard that our. That is what Prophet said. So this question came up. Where does it say 10,000 years? Where? Where Shirley and Sasha, I want, you know, impeaching India's tough. So there was Brahmagraja, Purana 125th Khanda, all Pashtime Krishna Sridharga. 10,000 years after 5000. Now we know Lord Chaitanya came 4500 years. But he didn't say that. He said 5000 years. And Prabhupada came 5000 years out of it. So these things we don't know a little bit. Now we have our personal experience with Rama. And that's something which we're very grateful that historically that they kept on video and so on. So that will be what as Hiran Unawaraj said, in the future maybe he will see Rahul Dude Engel and more Bruno's more evidences are found how Bhagavad actually is sent by Lord Krishna. And he took the Agoda lifestyle religion and made it a modern world religion. So this is very overwhelming to hear. I know. I heard these soldiers and I have my Opinion about his historical overview and his irregular presentation of Prabhupada. I think it's very useful anyway. Also there's a Shastram said I wanted to say of course that of course I joined the KA Conscious movement here in California. And then Prabhu at that time was in Montreal. So I went to Montreal to see Prabhupada. I had asked Prabhupada that I wanted to go to India to find a guru. And he said, well out thrust and train the sayer and I'll send it in India later. So okay. And I thought, well, my tantrums are healthy. I told her, now I get all my bad habits. Now I become a high patient devotee and I'm here. And my father said, if you don't leave immediately, I'm going to disown you as a child and you are sending out your name to drought. Father joined the Vietnam army or the American army to fight me in Vietnam. So I asked father what should I do? And he said, well, better to fight Christian army. So carry on. I'm still fire you up. I look crippled like that and all mercy a second time when I was here, I was in Montreal. I was in Toronto actually somehow I started that General Then I handed over to Jevdee and he said, you want to send me India to join with Chitrana Saiki and his Rava upstairs. At that time Adela Nanda was the secretary of Raul. He said something that. Something critical about the God brothers. And I no idea. I didn't know if there's any apologies amongst God brothers. Not godbrothers, you know. So crowd said, well then my God brothers and I have the right to seek my brothers. But you have no right to seek. You're a disciple. You're the junior. I thought, see he got told that problem. Later he found that prophet said that the Vrindavan watch out for the Babajis of Vrindava and the Koswadis. And in mind for the Prabhupada's God brothers that not all are favorable. So maybe Indias were not going to use the exact words he said may not work against Islam. So something like that exact quote you can find out. But so of course being in here, that's all I started. We learned that there was some things here in LA when I was here and then came here about two months. I think at that time I went probably on a morning walk. One time he would start a church inside the church. He said, in the future Islam will be like this Where a southern world is living in town. But there will be many many roadies to do outside. And they'll be coming to the temple on festival days and weekends like the churches. But they're practicing in their homes. And at that time we just had to go. And it was a whole new concept that there'll be people living outside. But I don't know why he told that all saved my mind. Later I was asked to be the monitor later the minister of Congregational Development. And I always took that rather decision that in the future every household should be a Ka conscious household. And you had also Lakshi no tattoo he wanted that there should be Shraddha Kotheers anyway. So that was like that. But the other day then I was sent out by whoever is the authorities here to assist vaginal room get farts here right on midnight flower run in Beverly Hills and he robbed the bars for Christian but one day or like sudden thing I was shotgun don't know. So that's how he said I don't think you should do this. So after that we get to know the service here. I remember that small deities. I don't think there were big deities at that time. I think they were small, but I can't remember. But anyway the small release Dharakana they came out and we had to offer our weekly reports. So what we did to the last week what we were doing next week we had to give. And that was a great movie that probably had us. He said the Lord is the owner of the temple and we are all working for the Lord. So Charles was inviting us to the deity and so he came and offered our our respects and our regards while the Kirtan was going on. So like this then I was sent to India of course. First I was sent to help in Chicago. But probably told me that you go to India and there you assist chew down. I'll tell you when you go. He said that he wanted to see that Tsundangana had a proper place to stay. So like that. These are my memories from Ayla Uttarakha of course his Konin temple and all that that they observing his satisf I was there to see that actually live as many of you are. So also the Sergey at that time there were trailers on the wall but they fell down in the earthquake. So Carlo is very personal. He was in all his art I saw cared about everybody. But I was one of the at that time there were only three tables in Israel. So I was an idea resident of Montreal After Hunsington left and he went to open up some temple and settled in Hoover zone. So he then took all the money left, one month's rent and four or five daughters. And so I wrote to Brother, I'm just two weeks off initiated and I'm only 19 years old. I don't feel qualified to be telling president you don't do that. Don't think narcotics carry out the instruction of the guru. So like that one time I sat down nail and Paul wrote, this is not trial again. I heard you sit on nail. Please be careful. Your body is good to push up. You must take care of it. Then my other ones had a fever. He said, I think you're already dark. You should I take it easy. He says, I heard him drive. I can see what super lights. Of course. One day he sent pictures of our piles of stalls and bricks. He said, very nice. I like to see this turn in the buildings. They show you the picture of the finished building, not the piles of Ricks and Shawns. So Pratt was always pushing us that we should work. I went to oh yeah, I asked for. He said, you are Americans, Europeans. We should do something wonderful here. And you have to work. So he said to work double shift from 6 till 12. So of course the workers didn't work that long. We had two shifts of workers. One from six till four and one from. I think it's four or five. I forgot 12. So I had to oversee all the time. So at one time I went to Prabhu. I said, at this rate of 6 to 12, I can't go Mahlort. I can't. What should I do? He said, well, you think billions are billions in dungeons and read thy ruks. I said I couldn't read the books much and says, you can build thy buildings and Dylan and read thy books. It should change at 16 rounds. I tend to do Gujarat, etc. And then you have all day of puja. Okay. And then once I thought, ah, proud athlete. Stay Vinya and become Indian citizen. So I thought I like to stay in Niagara, I like to stay in India, I like the Indian people. And I felt guilty. He was asking me to do something I like to do. I felt that, you know, I have to do something that I didn't like to do. After surrendering I saw, I heard about, well, all these things you asked me I like to do. Is that wrong? He said, well, you're fortunate if you like to do what you do ask. You're frustrated, but it doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. Whether you like it or not. Something like this problem always keeping us on track. And I sound advising when I was here in California. And when you see the guru, you should always author your first authority or question of your allegiances. Then you should offer him some praise. You should humble yourself and enhance as a blessing. So I would go to parlor every day, I'd offer him some praise and then I'd humble myself and then I would ask for some lessons. I don't remember all the things. A few things stand out because I would just say we can all think every day. I'll be praised. So one day I said, bro, you're going very good. You'll notice. Well, I'm a grateful he said yes. And he gets up, they're so great. I'm a grateful he said yes. Ru is not, you know, he's a person he has to deal with as a person. So he get, you know, he's real sick. I went down to him and said, I want to show you life after life. He said, why you want me go back? I thought, I thought I said the right thing. I want to say. Even I said right. So like that every day or something. I didn't. Something unique. One day they were standing outside the road and he was looking at light. And in the month of September, there's all kind of bugs. That's the end of the rainy season and the sun is very intense. And August, September, it dries up the rains and bugs again. Bugs and flying around thousands of dogs. In fact, it looked like it would be a big pile of bugs. My soulmate and looking and her looking. What is her husband looking at? He's looking, looking. Start looking now. Watch his bunch, you know, find her out. And then he looked. He said, just see. I don't see any collisions. But in spite of the rotter radar, everything. Sometimes the planes collide, swallow. Krishna is so great, so even loud. Prabhupada Sri Krishna. And also one time everything. He would somehow see something Krishna conscious, like content on the road, walking. And he saw that we had a root guard. So he saw that there were some ants who were like shifting and one lay next place. And the queen ant who lived bigger. You don't usually see the queen ant, but here you can see or Hercules ants are carrying the eggs on the head and the whole thing is moving. So frog looked up and they looked and Frog said, oh, well, this has really been down. And we're thinking how incidentally these ants are. I think all these creatures are so insignificant. They only live a short time like that there are entities on higher planets looking down at us. And they're thinking all these earthlings they only a few months. So like animals live a few months on this planet. Rats or something, five days or two months. So the insects. So like that our. Our whole year is there one one day night. So they look $100 years. That's only once. 70 years, two months. So hardly, you know, our life stands very short by their calculation. So the celestial beings looked at earthlings. They showed them right into the nether. So they followed up everything into our perspective. So anyway, also in the Chaitanya Mangal there it says not only went to Adikanda in the free Khanda. He went to the surgery of Lord Jitana Kannam. So Lord Chaitanya then announced that he would come down and spread a Ka consciousness all over India. He would spread his harams on Vietnam. But if there were other pyramids in the west where the people went, he'd send his signal Pati Bhakta. I would tell him he would preach all over the world south. It seemed also that all these predictions were on the official problem of the same party as His Holiness Sridhar said. He thought we should try to follow in the footsteps of Allah kind of knowledge. The time that we should establish the Ka Consciousness movement everywhere, all over the world. And this is our great opportunity. And we're happy to be here in Los Angeles in New Georgia which called as the Western world headquarters last year. I had six lunch and I had a very nice experience. And so I'm very healthy. That Solas also said welcome home is your home. Of course. Vadi Narayan Maru said, unless you stood through a earthquake, you're not a real resident. Anyway, right now I actually did stay in the earthquake in the when I was living in California in the Champion Suzuki. That's another story. So I'm very happy to be here. And I want to say that this. I want to also thank all the organizers of this festival. Also the old Kimuna here and Mahalisha who year of how they are organizing. And most of all Prabhupada for coming here to the West.
