54th Sannasa Anniversary

Ela Chalaniwasayanitaya Paramatmane Balabadra Subhadra Taptakan, Shanagorangi Radhe Bindabaneshwari Vishavanu Sute Devi it is very significant.

You may all see Guru Maharaj is present live in Malaysia right now they are having the Radhastami Abhishek and after the Abhishek Guru Maharaj will address all of us.

It is very significant that on this holy day, the best day of the entire Vaiava calendar Sri Rashtami that His Holiness Rla Jaipata K Swami Maharaj Tuk.

Sanna.

Let us reflect who is this person? Shimati Radharani Takurani Lord Shiva prays to her. I'm forgetting Lord Shiva is praying to Shimati Radharani that the wife of Lord Indra the wife of Lord Shiva Parvati, the wife of Lord Brahma Saraswati they're all praying for mercy from Rmati Radharani. All the Lakshmis on unlimited Vishnu Lokas are praying offering their respectful obeisances to the feet of Shimati Radharani. Millions of divine opulences are available from a particle of dust from from one of her toenails. She is the counterpart of Lord Krishna, the supreme personality of Godhead. And she is no different than Krishna, as powerful as Krishna himself. She is the Lord's own Vladini Shakti the pleasure giving potency of the Supreme Personality of Godhead. So devotees pray to you are a river flowing with mercy. Please give me shelter and give me service at your lotus feet. So it is on the most holy day of Shivran Ashtami that his divine grace Srila Jaipataka Swami Maharaj took Sannyas. What does sannyas means? Satyas. Satyas means to sacrifice for the Supreme Lord, the supreme personality of Godhead. And what is that one thing that gives most happiness to the Supreme Lord? To reinstate the conditioned souls and their eternal service relationship in the kingdom of God. So we pray to Shrimati Radharani give me service at your lotus feet. What is the best service to Shrimati Radharani? To reinstate conditioned souls back in the service of the Supreme Lord. So it is very significant that his divine grace accepted Sannyas order to sacrifice his life, words, body, everything in the service of the Lord. Sometimes we hear people talking about Radha Dasyam as a very ordinary thing.

Janet.

It is the most special, rarefied, rare thing to get service to Shimati Radharani.

Radharan.

There is a way to do that made a beautiful prayer that if you take up the mission of Gora. The lotus feet of Shimati Radharani are easily available to you. So examine the life of this exalted devotee. He is the most senior Sannyas disciple of Srila Prabhupada on the planet. There is no second devotee that has traveled as much and given as much to the mission of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu as this devotee. Your exalted spiritual master and his service to Goranga. Goranga is non different from Shimati Radharani. And his service to the mission of Goranga is impossible to calculate. So never lose faith in your Guru. Never lose faith. If you lose Guru Nishta, you lose everything. So I'd also like to relate briefly some personal experiences with this divine grace used to come to our temple in Denver, Colorado. He'd make a special stop there to take radha govinda mahaprasad. 3 very talented lady cooks would start cooking right after Mangalarti for the Rajkog offering. And Maharaj should be offered huge offering of sabjis and savories and chutneys and puri and rice and dal sweet. All different types of Radha Govinda Mahaprasad. So he would invite his godbrothers and they would sit and joyfully honor Radha Govinda Mahaprasad together. Afterwards, the Grihasta men and the Brahmacharis would accompany Maharaj to Cherry Creek Reservoir which is a man made lake. Cherry Creek Reservoir Cherry Creek Reservoir. And we would have a ecstatic rough and tumble game of water polo. I remember I'm going to take the ball from Jayapataka Maharash. I walked up, grabbed the ball, but he picked me up, turned me upside down and dunked me in the water. I remember one time he came to Denver and he had just arrived in America.

America.

Completely jet logged, completely tired, no sleep. So I invited him. Please come to my house. There's a program the devotees like to hear from you. So Maharaj was leading Kirtan. But he's so tired that he's falling asleep playing cartos and singing. I was very impressed with this. Never mind sleep, never mind eating, never mind anything. There's a preaching engagement. I'm going.

To.

So in all of this gone. Where will we find an example like this of preaching spirit? I beg to offer my Shastanga Dandavat Koti Koti Shastanga Dandavat Pranam at this lotus feet and beg his mercy. May he have long life and ever increasing service to his Divine grace. Die.

Krishna Sarodic Pravuke, thank you very much.

We are able to see our beloved Gurudev on the screen very soon. She will address all the devotees.

Yeah. So now I would like to invite Hitch grace Harishwari Prabhu. So Harishwari Prabhu, he joined in ISKCON in 1972 in Sydney, Australia. And in 1972 he got initiation from Srila Prabhupada in Sydney. Then he moved in India in 1975.

So Shripad Harishari Prabhu, Srila Prabhupada Andalana SATA Juktohan, Australia, Melbourne.

So he was a temple commander of Krishna. Sorry, Temple president. Right, Prabhu Temple president in Vrindavan. Temple commander. Okay. So he was a temple commander of Krishna Balaram temple in Vrindavan.

Iskan temple commander.

Then Prabhupada sent him back in Australia in 1977 and His Grace Harishwari Prabhu, he became GVC governing body commission in for seven years in Australia.

His grace.

And his grace Harishari Prabhu. He wrote diary called Transcendental Diary. A Transcendental diary.

This Transcendental diary consists of five volumes and it is.

And it is Bangladesh in Bengali it has two volume.

So in the Transcendental Diary Prabhuji mentions in one place that just like we find in the Srimad Bhagavatam, the life of Prahlad Maharaj, the life of Dhruva Maharaj, the life of Kunti and the life of so many other exalted devotees of the Lord. If we analyze the sum total of all of these life stories, we will find all this in the life of our Srila Prabhupada.

Prabhu. Srila Prabhupada personal servant Shilan Prabhuji was.

The personal servant of Srila Prabhupada Toa Amra. So actually Srila Prabhuji is an encyclopedia. He could speak for hours on Srila Prabhupada and about our spiritual master. But as we all understand the time is short. So therefore whatever Prabhupada can explain.

So now I would like to request his grace Harishwari Prabhu to speak about Srila Prabhupada and also our beloved Guru Maharaj. Thank you so much.

So I'm not going to speak for very long. Despite the flattering words from my friend.

Here.

I just am reflecting on what Prabhupada did. Sometimes it makes me reflect on this story about Puru and Maharaj Yayati.

Puru Maharaj.

Not exactly, but there's some comparison there between Prabhupada's life activities and that is found in the story of Maharajayati. And Purul pleaded with his children to give him some renewed energy so that he could fulfill his desires.

Tar santand Abedon Korach.

Because when you're old you can't do very much. If you want to enjoy then you have to have some youth energy. When you're young you think you can do anything. When you're old, the desire to do anything is still there, but the body's not cooperating. So Yayati used the youthful energy that he got from his son Puru and he was able to travel all over the universe and fulfill his desires. Then when his mission was completed, he came back. He gave back the youthful energy to his son Peru and Peru then went on to maintain and expand the empire that he built as the king. So similarly, srila prabhupada at 70 years old he had some strong desires which he had not been able to fulfill. After all, what can you expect a 70 year old man to do? But Prabhupada did something unbelievable. And the reason why he was able to do that was because Krishna sent him so many young people. Prabhupada was able to harness that youthful energy of literally thousands of young men and women, established all the main pillars of Krishna consciousness, entertainment, dancing. He could meet and debate anybody in the world and defeat them. So it was an amazing spectacle. Actually, how is this old man doing all of this? Because you young people, you've given up your youthful energy for the service of Krishna. So in that way we can see how Prabhupada to fulfill that desire. What was the desire that he was fulfilling? It was to execute the order of Srila Bhakti, Siddhanta, Saraswati and preach spread Krishna consciousness all over the world. So Prabhupada at the end of his stay with us, he spent the last six weeks in Brindavan. Prabhupada returned that youthful energy back to his disciples. And he gave us an engagement that will take up the rest of our lives to fulfill. So one time in New York, Prabhupada was coming back by Car.

Akbar New York.

So Ramaswara at that time he was a Maharaj. He asked Srila Prabhupada question that just as Krishna when he's making a ready for an appearance, he sends so many different representatives, demigods, personalities from the spiritual world. And they all take birth waiting for Krishna to take his make his appearance. So in the same way, he asked Prabhupada, is this what happens when the spiritual master appears, that so many great personalities, they take their births in strategic positions? So Prabhupada said yes. When Krishna desires to spread his glories of his name and fame and qualities, pastimes, he then comes into the material world with a whole coterie of assistants and friends and devotees.

So we can understand anyway from Prabhupada's life story, especially from 1966 onwards, that devotees Prabhupada said this devotees had already taken birth in different countries. And with their help then Prabhupada was able to expand Krishna consciousness very rapidly. So Prabhupada actually said that I take it that you're all the representatives of my Guru Maharaj. You've been sent here to help me spread this movement. So one of those youths, fortunately for us, came here to Mayapur. With that youthful enthusiasm, he was able to stay here, develop this Mayapur project. And Prabhupada was very, very pleased with him. First time I came to Mayapur was 1975. I heard about the glories of Jaipataka.

Swami Ami Itipurbai Silajayapataka Sameer Mohima Sune.

Silam he was already a legend by 1975.

Kathy.

He'S working very hard, was very pleased. And in 1977, when Prabhupada left us in November of 77, then different devotees took up the responsibilities of maintaining and expanding managerial structure.

And with that structure that Prabhupada made with the GBC and then temple presidents.

Temple president then.

We were able to, despite ourselves, continue to spread this Krishna Consciousness movement. He was one of the prominent figures.

Srila Jayapathan.

I don't have to list everything. It's not possible to list everything anyway.

But.

One thing that always impressed me was his efforts in the congregational field. He really developed it very intelligently. Nowadays we take it for granted that there's hundreds of thousands of congregational members. In the 70s and early 80s, there was no such congregational temples in the West. At least you had a group of devotees living in the temple.

Taken.

But.

They didn't show Radharani to him.

Because.

About.

You don't have any.

Sat nicely for Amra.

Bionic tragedy Jacob again.

So Narada Muni went to the forest and he was praying that he could see Srimati Radharani in her kaisori.

Form.

Amazing.

Foreign.

New programs or make arrangements that we knew would damage Prabhupada's health. But we had to go along with that because that was Prabhupada's desire. So in a similar way, I heard that when Jaipur Tak Maharaj came back here to Mayapur, they had the idea, his disciples had the idea that they would provide this protective relief. So they weren't making any new engagements or anything. And instead they were just thinking about how to personally serve his body and try to somehow or another keep him free from any stress or strain. I want to preach. You don't want me to go, but I want to preach. So he forced his servants to make the arrangements and then he started on this incredible journey.

Punarai.

Here we are 17 years.

18 years.

All right, so here we are 18 years. Sometimes we don't realize what's really happening with somebody externally just by looking at them.

Wheelchair.

It's just inconceivable. You can go out and travel all around the world. So Prabhupada knew his name. He knew something about Jaipataka Mirage that most of us would not have noticed. So I won't go on. There's other speakers, but I just want to express my gratitude. I spent seven years on the GBC with it. I've lived here in Mayapur since 1995. I deal with Maharaj at least once or twice a week. We have conference calls.

Conference caller meeting.

And I'm just always astonished. He seems he got more intelligence, he got more control of his mind in the adverse condition than he ever before.

He knows he's not in his body. Transcendental entity who was sent here spread Christian consciousness all over the world.

Hi, thank you so much.

And.

Guruma is already online H oles and class ditch her grace Rimati Mataji among his grace Riddha Prabhu cloud of nectar.

You want to sit here? You won't be able to see anything if you come and Hare Krishna.

Hare Krishna. We were very happy to receive Jaipada Kashwami Guru Maharaj in ex Soviet Union countries. Soviet Union came in 97 and he started to preach in ex Soviet Union. And I was personally very lucky because I knew some English because that years in Russia not so many people could speak English. Many years English was forbidden. But I was lucky I knew English gave me translation service like Jitendya Prabhu used to translate into Bengali. I used to translate into to Russian his classes. And then he was sources of our inspiration. Many times he used to tell us, come to Mayapur. He said, mayapur, our international headquarter. We want many international devotees. I asked Maharaj what service I will do in Mayapur. He said, what usual service you do? He said, I'm writer, I translate books, I publish books. So he said, you keep translating the chariots and publish books in Russian in India. And he said, another service is a theater. Drama. Drama theater. So he said, make festival service in India. So today for your pleasure, we want to make one little dance for, you know, last time, last time we came for Jaypataka marriage event. And they said us too many colors, everything have to be saffron. So today we came in saffron and yellow questions to make the event. And our dance is about Krishna. Because Krishna is what Guru Maharaj tried to bring all over the world.
