The following is a question and answer session given by His Holiness Jaya Pataka Swami Maharaj on March 11, 2025 in Sri Ramayapur, India.
Today is the Goinda Garden.
So today is Govinda Dwadasi. Today is the disappearance day of Malaventrapuri. So Advaita Gosai has taken initiation from Madame Rapuri and therefore in his disappearance day he does a special puja for him. So today we install three footprints.
Lord Chaitanya, Nithyanda Prabhu and love the grace.
And his grace at so Srila Bhaktisianta Saraswati Thakur Prabhupada wanted to install Lord Chaitanyas footprint in Shantipur. Lotus fish in Shantipur.
And so we installed.
So today we installed the three footprints and there was a big crowd of devotees.
I don't know. The father of the Rosen era, the son is called.
And the father of the present Sevak the son of Shanta Goswami.
And exodus of others wrought out of it.
He showed me some letter that Prabhupada wrote.
But still the living land Mayapur that.
If we didn't get land in Mayapur, Srila Prabh made the word her quarters in Shantipur.
Scott.
So Prabhupada has his plan A plan B like that. So there was a very big crowd today.
All every year.
And we go every year on Govinda.
Door.
Acharya and we see the DP of Advaita Acharya. We see all the people, we feed.
Them and.
It is very ecstatic.
He was serving kitchen.
I was. He was serving Kitcher Burma serve Kitcher today.
I believed that.
If you eat there, Lord Chaitanya says that you get Govinda Bhakti on this day. Other days an ark of blessing. This day. This day.
Fifth in that place.
In that place. So I took some Mahapashad brought mountain and Guru Maas also brought some Mahapashad. Did you bought? Why not? Why didn't bring the Taiwanese devotees and Chinese? And they went. They went. They took and they took. They took Taiwan devotees took. So who didn't take Prashad today? Okay, Guru Mahas for you. Can you hear Gruma properly? So I had also today a GPAK meeting back here. That's the meeting of the global public trustees. Property trustees.
Oh, how.
So today we thought to have questions and answers. Few questions and answers. We have the first question. Guruma for you the bodies already we already requested questions. The first question is how to ideally take association of devotees. And always it is not possible to have physical. Hold on, let us leave the card. And always it is not possible to have physical association of all this. Yeah.
Come every year.
So come every year to Mayapur Godapur Nima festival. I'll raise a hand. You can have as many associations. Apart from that, now we have Zoom Internet where you can also attend the online classes. Okay, you are seeing the chat. There is no question in the chat. Okay, how many is that? Hare Krishna Gurma, Shapni Kripakoro Amar, Shashwada Pranam, Rohan Corbin. Anyway, people are giving you pronouns but no questions in the chat. It's only pronouns from different devotees. Gurumas is reading all your pronounce Q. Okay, so any question from outside? I requested before to compile questions. Any question from our Taiwanese devotees. Because part of having good association is also with here. Okay, we have a question. Hare Krishna, Dear beloved Guru Maharaj question. Just like we can have five types of relationship with Krishna, what kind of relations we can have with Lord Gauranga and Lord Vikananda? Without the mercy of Nita Gold we cannot get the mercy of Radha and Krishna. So Nita and God, they give up the mercy very freely. So Naruto's Takur, he sings that by the mercy of Advaita Charya you get the mercy of Nitai Gordon. When you go in the temple in Parikran, you can see how Lord Caitani and Nithyananda Purwa and Advaitacharya they were engaged in. So we want to encourage everyone to chant the holy name. Krishna is the source of everything. And Krishna says that we are always existing in the past and future. If we are always. If we always exist in the past, how there is a source? How to understand that there is a source when everything exists always? Rukmini Rahman does for Colombia. Rukmini Shastra says that Krishna is the origin and we are part of Krishna.
We are minute parts.
We are minute parts.
So.
Those who underspur Krishna.
And when we want to serve Ka directly we go to the spiritual world.
Most of the jivas there.
Most of the jivas are there.
Some ungoverned ones are here, Some the.
Unfortunate ones are here in the material world.
Our sons were part of Krishna in.
That sense we are part of Krishna.
Stop.
The whole world gives us an opportunity. Go back to Krishna.
So this human birth is also an Opportunity to go back to Krishna. So Guru Mahaj, there are many devotees that came from different places. So we thought to spend five minutes for you from here to bless them and give darshan and mention some of them like we did with the Taiwan. We also have in the back Prema. Prema Rupa. Prema Dupili Madova. From Argentina. We have Anguilla Muni. From Russia. Moscow. Yeah. From Colombia. That you saw him. So we want to thank this opportunity. Yardon, Rajasthan. We are from Rajasthan. From Peru. What's your name? Rahul. Name? J. From Peru. From California. San Diego. From Poland. Sanquia. From Poland. From where else? Bangladesh. From Peru. Latin America. Bangalore. We have from Bangalore. South India. Somebody. Someone Leaving tomorrow. Who is leaving tomorrow? So those who are living tomorrow. We have a servant for you. Ready?

So.
Yes. Latvia. Latte at the back. All right. Angira Koranga is on the back. Also brought some prashad for you. Featuring. So please make sure you get when you eat the feature strong. So he was telling us how every step we take we advance in Krishnavakti. I step towards Prema.
Not even Goddess.
Even devotees who are in the middle platform. They can bless with the perfect firm faith. With firm faith. Firm faith. And if you reach those who reach the higher levels they can give out Krishna Bhakti. So we hope that everyone gets Krishna Bhakti. Gets Krishna Bhakti. How many of you want Krishna Bhakti? How many of you want Krish.
