One of my services to Srila Prabhupada is to attend those go to Mandala Bhoomivasis. Is it correct?
I want to.
The devotees who have appeared in Goda Mandala Bhoomi. We want to.
Have some shrine.
Have some shrine offered to them. They are known as sheepots. Sorry Guru Maharaj, there's a note by Srila Bhakti Venut Thakur. The paraphernalia in the past times Atadiya namely all the stimulants, Udipana and companions in Vrindavan and the paraphernalia such as Mridanga and Karatal etc in Navadvip are to be respected and shown affection. So Mridanga, Kartal etc were used by Lord Caitanya and his Sankirtan bodies in his Sankirtan parties.
All those things are respected.
So those things are respected.
Shamwave.
Similarly in Vrindavan the paraphernalias used in Krishna's service are respected.
All right.
All right. Thank youk Srila Guru Maharaj for the wonderful explanation. So we'll stop here. We'll continue tomorrow. Yes, Guru Maharaj. Guru Maharaj, also before we begin, we have devotees from the uk. Rupesh Prabhu and Ragini Mataji. They are your children of your disciples from Jharkhand. But they stay in the uk. They are aspiring disciples of your divine grace and that's their children. So please bless them, Guru Maharaj. They are also your sheltered disciple. Okay. There's also one birthday. Shivini Tulsi. Mataji, where are you? Can you stand up please? So Guru Maharaj, today is Mataji's birthday. Please bless her. Krishna Matirastu. Happy birthday Mataji. Blessings to everybody. Krishna Matirastu, Haribo. No Guru Maharaj. They are just saying Koti, Koti, Dandot, Pranam, things like that. So also Gurmaraj. So Gurmaj Jensen. Hare Krishna.
Dear fortunate devotees, welcome to Gurumraj's virtual book table. There's a physical book table right behind you and somebody is manning that today. I think there will not be a blessing at that side because Guru Maharaj is on dialysis and he's tired. On non dialysis day he gives blessings on the other side. So before you leave, please do visit the physical book table. You know, Badra Purnima is on the way and next to Balrampurnima is Badra Purnima. Why I'm having this Ghost next to Balrampudnima is Badrapudnima. And that's on the 18th of September 2024, campaigns to popularize Shrimad Bhagavam sets all around the world has started. And according to Shrimad Bhagavatam, Guru Maharaj personally told in the last interview that if on the full moon day of the month of Badra, one places RD Bhagavatam on the golden throne and gives it as a gift, he will attain the supreme transcendental destination. So of this there is no doubt this was Guruja Pagmata. Plus Srimad Bhagavatam also says and you know Guru Maharaj says that since it is not mentioned whom you should gift. So you can give to anybody. Husband can give to wife, wife can give to husband. You know anybody can give. But Guru Maharaj says, I will accept if you gift me. So if anybody would like to gift Srimad Bhagavadam to Guru Maharaj, when you are paying for that, write in the Guru Maharaj virtual book table message that I am donating this Shrimad Bhagavadam set to Guru Maharaj. Okay, so that we have our Nithalila sorry nithya say whites 4 small books. And please pause on this wonderful opportunity of participating the pastime of Guru Maharaj distributing Srila Prabhupada books. Even if it's 1 Bhagavad Gita and 10 small books, of course it's 1 is to 10 ratio as per the instruction of Srila Prabhupada to Guru Maharaj. And Guru Maharaj is requesting all of you to support and please do WhatsApp anytime to Guru Maharaj virtual book table at 919-434-760402. Stay tuned for tomorrow's Lord Chaitanya class. And of course let's all pray for speedy and full recovery of Guru Maharaj. Today is also Santushta Nithai Prabhu's birthday. Happy appearance day Santoshta Nithai Prabhu Namah Guru Maharaj due to dialysis he could not come on Zoom. So he's sending you blessings and all the devotees also all over the world will be praying for you. So let's pray for the good and speedy recovery of Guru Maharaj and of course our prayers and good for all those who are celebrating their anniversaries today, for their well being and blissful Krishna consciousness, please join me in the prayers. Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare thank you very much. Vaishnapranam1 Chakal Pataro bias Hindobia Avata Patitanam Pavane namah.
