76th Vyāsa-pūjā Offering by His Grace Mādhava Kānta dāsa #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

Mādhava Kānta dāsa delivers a Vyāsa-pūjā offering recounting personal pastimes of Guru Maharaj (spanning roughly 2003–2014 and later) to illustrate the guru’s nonstop preaching mood, compassion for every soul, strict loyalty to Srila Prabhupada’s mission, and constant chanting even during illness. Anecdotes include a vehicle breakdown and impromptu preaching, missed prasad delivery that became a preaching opportunity, ICU/ventilator incidents where Guru Maharaj encouraged Bhagavad-gita reading, and strong admonitions against leaving ISKCON for independent initiatives. The talk closes with encouragement to adopt the spiritual master’s examples of service and chanting.
Sam.
Dear devotees, kindly accept my response. I have no qualification to glorify special master Guru Maharaj. But still for my own purification, I'll try to repeat. I try to speak.
Whatever I have seen in my presence.
I have experienced while serving for my purification. So even though I have no qualification.
At all to serve Guru Maharaj.
So biggest glories of Guru Maharaj. He has accepted fallen soul like me and engaged in the service of Guru.
Maharaj for my purification.
I will be sharing you few past times. Whatever time allows me. I'll try to share some past times of Guru Mara. And we try to take some lessons.
To imbibe in our life. As mentioned in.
Symptoms.
For a person who is in this.
Platform, like one who is a spiritual person, you don't waste time. You don't waste time. So Guru Maharaj in my service, I.
Mean when I served Guru Maharaj, I.
Have seen for last 30 years I.
Have been seeing Guru Maharaj.
Guru Maharaj never wastes a single moment. That means in one time Guru Maharaj do multiple things, multiple services.
I am a guru Maharajar Shivakoch.
So in his Abyarthya Kalattam and also one of the Guna Tata Guna Khyaana. He is always eager to glorify Lord. So I'll share the past time. Once I was there, it was in 2004 or 2003. I was traveling with Guru Maharaj from Vrindavan to back to Delhi.
Duajar Char Saleh, Guru Maharajilan, Brindavant.
So Guru Maharaj had a new secretary, Guru manager.
And on the way the vehicle broke down.
So the new secretary got westerner.
He got angry with me.
Why do you arrange lousy vehicle? But what I saw, Guru Maharaj was not disturbed at all. We supposed to catch a flight from Delhi to Mayapur. So Guru Maharaj said, you the Guru Maharaj told the secretary, you give me proofs that Madhavanda deal with the car. So by blessings of Guru Maharaj, I.
Got another car on the road nearby.
But it took some time. We reach airport, we miss flight.
You missed the flight.
But what I saw, Guru Maharaj was not disturbed at all. So we suggested Guru must try to come back to Calcutta.
Then we found that next flight was only in the evening.
So Guru Maharaj came back to temple. We booked for the evening flight.
I told Guru Mahar, let's go to temple.
We have darshan, take some push up.
Take rest.
We'll come to the airport. We'll have some rest.
Madhavana.
So Guru Mahaj Came to temple.
While he came to temple hall, he had darshan. There was around few hundred school students.
The Guru Maharaja Mundira Asan.
And Guruma.
Started preaching to those school students.
Guru Maharajan Mata Maha Bhagavad.
So for Guru Maharaj, we want to preach to a lot of people, educated people. But Guru Maharaj, you don't see who is the audience. It may be a school student or exalted people or big crowd, small crowd.
They don't discriminate.
So Guru Mas took the opportunity to preach.
I told Guru, let's go take some rest. We'll take care. You're supposed to take rest.
Let me do my service.
So Guru Maharaj took his time.
And then after preaching was going to take rest. On the way in Delhi temple where a museum there Guru Ma saw some tourists from western India. And Guruma doesn't know their language.
They are Marathi people.
And Guru Maharaj starts killing them with.
The Hindi to preach them. So again I request the Guru Mah.
Say they will take care museum.
They will take care.
Let's go. You just need to take some pressure. Go to airport, no time for rest.
Also now.
Give an idea to a museum director. This people kind of South India from.
West India, North India.
They'll go back where the connection take their contact, follow up, give to local devotees. See Guru Maharaj want to utilize for preaching. See, there's a broad mind of a preacher. You don't see my area, my people. I am not responsible. He's responsible. You just how to connect each and every soul to Krishna Prabhupada. Finally Guru took little Prasad went to airport.
No time for rest.
Guru Maharaj.
So you can see how Guru Maharaj he wants his own comfort. And he will take rest, take food on time. But just want to take each and every opportun opportunity to pre.
The par.
Another instance around 201415 after the stroke in Delhi Hospital ILBS Liver Hospital. So it was evening time. So as I'm supposed to take care of the all the service in Delhi. So I assigned someone to bring prasad of devotees and Guru Maharaj to hospital from temple. So some new devotee asked give me service. So I told please bring Prasad temple to hospital. So when the devotee brought only servants Prashad it was big bag and forgot Guru Mahas Prashad there. So Prasad came, Guru Mahj was sitting.
Down, hand was done, insulin was given.
I was supposed to give and the prasad was open.
Gurumaj I want to see.
They want to give incident.
I want to see. What is there?
So when they open it was all oily food, chapatis and sweet Guru mas.
Is not mine this is not mine.
It was a big quantity Guru Mahat.
Is not mine where is my Prashad?
So and then they looked for Prashad.
It was not there and then those.
Devotees asked me where's the prasad?
I said it was there so they could not find Then I call up temple I found out when Prasanna Guru Prasad is still lying in the kitchen in the temple.
So then I got so much of thanks what to do because it takes one hour minimum one hour to come from temple to hospital so then I arranged another devotee to bring Prashad by bike.
So Prashal was.
Brought to Guru Maharaj after one hour.
And what is given to Guru Maharaj.
When Prasad arrived Then Guru Maharaj says.
Call Madhukanta to Prasad.
I was very much scared I thought today I'm going to get a sauce so I was afraid to go I said I'll come later Let Guru Mahar take owner Prashadan.
I'll meet to Jada Kanda Prabhu Madhavana Guru.
Then I went very fearful I.
Went inside with obesiences I asked Guru's faultless Guruma says thank you.
I don't know what to say what?
What was the joke?
Why Guruma saying thank you?
Then Guru Maharaj said because you delayed.
One hour to doing Prashad I got.
Opportunity to preach one hour today there was a new doctor and Dr. Sen was not there New doctor came so I was preach I got the opportunity to preach to new doctor doctor.
If.
You on time I just said hi.
Hello, how are you?
12 minute gone so after that Guru Mah he honored Prashad so I I was feeling guilty myself but again Guru Mah was encouraging but what the lesson is there Abgar the Kalatham Guru Mahar don't waste time Always eager to preach another instance care for each and every soul may be devotee non devotee care for each and every soul.
Same in.
That hospital River Hospital it was in 2014 when Gurmat got very serious air lifted from Calcutta to Delhi air ambulance was in ICU.
And was very serious.
And having ventilated so not able to speak full word but in front of Guru Maharaj there's another patient and that patient was about to leave body was bleeding a lot vomiting blood so bodily body doctors and the relative everyone are.
Surrounding that patient that's watching just leaving the body.
Dr.
Guru Maharaj told one.
Of the Servants called Mahad. It's very difficult to speak in the trichostomy. Having the ventilator is saying please call Madhavakanta bring Bhagavad Gita.
Dak Gita Gita.
So don't call madam bring Bhagavad.
So I was taking Bhag there.
In between one devotee came. I thought why not give opportunity. He can take the Bhagavad Gita.
So even Bhagavad Guru Mahas told read Bhagavad.
So the person was living body. Everyone was surrounded doctors and relative.
And this devotee was reading Bhagavad Gita. And that person elected.
Dr. Rokhane Chilen Unaratiya Saojan Chillan Guru Maharaj Ichai save Bhaktar.
So you can see that person has no connection with Khan or God or Krishna. Guruman doesn't know him or his relative anyone. But he saw the everyone surrounded and the personal living body. And Guruma Paradukaduki how he so much was worried. Other person get benefit some benefit by hearing. And after leaving body Guru some of the he prayed for the departed soul. So Gurmaj himself see the situation. Guru himself in ICU very difficult. And just two days before air lifted unconscious.
Now he's in a. What is that? In a ventilator.
But still he's praying for other soul.
Gita Bhagavana Janam.
So this is Guru Mahara his compassion. You see his preaching mood. So it deliver everyone to Krishna.
So we take these lessons and mood of spiritual master in our life.
So another word is mentioned there. Namagane Sada Ruchi Always very very much.
Interested in chanting the holy name.
So this is very. This pastor is very intimate pastum happened. And I shared once with daily devotees say in 2008 Guru Mahj got a stroke. So Guru Maharaj was fully unconscious.
Guru Maharaj Puru or cancelling.
Medically medically unconscious.
Medical medically.
So.
It'S been third day still unconscious. So fourth day. Morning 5:00 o' clock 5:00am the nurse.
The night nurse came to me myself and I was there from first day Guru Maharaj had a stroke. So Mahavarpur came joined me second day and he was with me all the night. We are there night shift. So morning 5am the nurse came and the nurse saying Swamiji doing like this.
Swamiji doing like this.
His finger is moving. Is conscious. Is conscious. So but nurse when call the night doctor check you are not conscious. But Guruma just doing like this. We had very small mobile that time. Not smartphone. So we took some videos, but that mobile itself lost. So we understood Guru Mahj want clicker. But both of us didn't had clicker. So then we call temple who is coming from morning shift. And that period was very crucial period. Only temple presidents, GVCs senior disciples, they were serving Guru Maharaj in a shift. So his grace and also temple president. So the Prabhuji and Revitrapu, they were coming from morning sheet. So we asked them. They just temple said they left. So when they reach, we asked, do you have a clicker? Then said, yes, yes, I have clicker. So to the clicker. Then Maharbhu went and gave to Guru Maharaj left hand. So Guru Maharaj started clicking. So around we inform the main doctor, Dr. Ashok. He came around 8 o', clock, 8 30. So the check. They test everything. The test neurologically, medically is unconscious. So later on they did a lot of tests. Still he is not conscious. So you can see Guru Maharaj. Medically he may be unconscious, but internally he is always conscious, always chanting. And this is connected to another pastime. It happened in Coimbatore. One devotee asked Guru Maharaj that Uttamadhikari like Guru Maharaj, how can we. How you can understand that he is medically unconscious is not chanting? Where is Sadhana? Gurumaj replied, you know what Gurumaj replied? Gurumaj replied, I was never unconscious because I was always chanting. And there was something more which is internal. I can't share in the public. But this you can understand that Guru Mahaj always is Nam e Gane Ruchi always in chant his holy name. So you also have heard from his Grace Mahavarpu earlier that how in Guru Maharaj's daily routine he is when Guru Mahj and whatever he does is Guru Mahj walking, He's taking prasad, doing exercise, swimming, physiotherapy. He's sitting in the meeting, he's cycling, chanting, chanting, chanting. He's always chanting. Even while Guru was going to take rest at night, Guru asked, give me my clicker and left hand. So Guruma take clicker, chanting and sleeping, snoring. But chanting morning we see how many is there. So he wake up for a moment. He's chanting. So you can see. We can take this lesson also. We can take these lessons in our life that how we can engage. Because we say that we don't have time to chant. I'm busy. I could not complete my rounds. But Guru Maharaj in this physical condition and always in service of Srila Prabhupada. But still Guru Maharaj always chanting and is chanting more than 16 rounds. And Mahavarpur is going to show you numbers, figures, the how many rounds Guruma chanted, how many flight he took, how many initiations. You will see those. Another symptom is that to leave the Dham of Lord. So Guru Maharaj always likes it says that Krishna never leaves Vrindavan Gurumalevan is Mayapurakam Bhagavan Krishna. So Guruma in physically Guruma is going out struggles. He takes Shuddha Mayapu in his heart and brings devotees to Mayapur. And always want to come back to Mayapur quickly. Wherever Guru goes, people say is here. So what I tell you two instance once Gurumaj was in UK in some.
Exhibition Akbar Guru Maharaj.
So there. And our Delhi Tamil president's son was there. So he introduced Guru Maharaj, the local exhibition director from America. No, no, no, I'm from Mayapur. So you can see how Guru Mahad takes Mayapur in his heart. And then the person asks what is Mayapur where it is?
So as you know, last year also.
During Vas Puja time Gurumaj was in Delhi. Health was very very. It was not good at all. So Guruma could not come to Mayapur.
Even Guruma tried his best to come to Mayapur.
So but later on Guru my health was also not very good. Going bad, bad, bad. But one day Guruma said I want to go to Mayapur. So some other even the day we changed flight, we also cancelled change flight. And next day we want to come to Mayapur. His health was not good. So but after Guruman left from there reached Mayapur he was completely normal. Not completely, but he was normal. So you can see how Guruma loves Mayapur. He comes here is okay even coming now my health was not good in madurai we canceled flight 2 flight we cancel now after reaching Mayapur. Now you can see he's better is okay. So this you can see practical example how it says that the symptom that is attached to the Lord's holy Dham. That doesn't mean that we never leave. We just sit here only. But Gurumas always goes out for preaching. So another so another pastor will share that how Guru Maharaj is dedicated. Everything is life for Srila Prabhupada movement. So if any devotee disciples don't not serving Prabhupada mission Guruma is not happy.
Guru.
Practically important. It happened several times. It happens with me in Van. One devotee from Bangladesh he was serving in Radhakund in one of the temple Goshala came to Guru Maharaj for Brahman.
Initiation action Bangladesher Bhakta.
Are you serving Srila Prabhupada's movement? I am from Bangladesh. No, it's gone. India will not take me. How many temples we approach. Then Guru Maharaj asked me can you engage him in your temple? So I was in charge in Delhi temple in Sankirtan department. So I said if you want book distribution, I'll. I'll give him responsibility. So Guru Mas told him, are you ready to serve Prabhupada mission? If I get service, I'll go. I leave. So next day left from there he came serve under me for two years. Then I allowed him Brahman Diksha. And he is serving in Mayapur now. So he left from the Sahimayapur. So what Guru Maha's mood is that you should serve Prabhupada is gone. So take an exam this lesson. You should not leave Prabhupada scorn and do independent preaching, independent service, serving some other institutions. But stick to Prabhupada.
Ambo Nakuri.
There's another very important thing happened in Radhakun another year this happened recently. That pastime was happened 2005. But I'm going to tell you something which happened recently 2012 or 13 after the stroke 2012 13. So gurumajrumaj went to Radhakund. So we stayed in one of the disciples. We took shelter one of the disciples.
House Guru Maharaj Sister Grihe.
So another devotee he got to know. He have called all Guruma disciple from Govardhan and Kamevan everywhere to have darshan of Guru Maharaj. He called all the disciples. So he called all the disciples to have a Guru Mahaj Darshan. The purpose is that he want to bring back everyone to iskcon. That is his mood.
The devotees mood was to bring back.
Reconnect everyone with ISKCON and Prabhupada. So when they came Guru Mahj health was not good. Guru was going to washroom coming back again. So having diarrhea. Health was not good. So they waited for a long time. So they came inside GR to come out. How long it will take when gran some devotees to go for Madhukari they have to go for.
Overheard everything in the Gurumara.
He was so cool. He didn't say anything. He was hearing. So after some time, quite long some time Guru Mahj came out. Then Guru Maharaj first thing said so how many have to go who don't Want to see me? Who is hurry to leave? Who are the one? Then Gurumas asked how many of you have taken Babaji Diksha. So why are you wearing all these Babaji dresses? Then Guru Mahj made a very strong statement. I reject as my disciples if you leave Prabhupada iskcon and take Babaji initiation I reject as my disciple. I reject as my disciple if you leave Prabhupada this corner and take Babaji Diksha. So immediately around 60% of them they left. So some says I haven't taken Diksha, I'm just wearing dress. Okay, I will change the dress. Oh I'm doing every day for you. I'm chanting 264round for you.
Guru Maharaj.
So Guru Maharaj sir I'll be happy if you serve Prabhupada mission. Then Guru Mahj give a short speech to them and then they left. But one or two says okay we'll come back to scone serve again. And then one two devotees says every every day in Govardhan we do book distribution. This is we're doing for Prabhupada. So then Gurumaj went back to room. So my thought was so what is use of my being? 364.264rounds. 108rounds doing every day if Guru is not happy. So the whole purpose is spiritual life to please spiritual master. But if he is not pleased, are you going to get Krishna? Krishna will please with my and doing parikrama of everyday Govardhan doing Dandavatradhakund and doing of chanting 100 round Krishna please. So Krishna will never be pleased. So my whole endeavor is useless. So we can understand that was my thought. But internally you can understand Guruma's mood. Guruma's mood is to how everyone should serve Srila Prabhupada's mission. No independent activities, independent preaching on my own Sadhana myself I don't want scorn. So even in once it happened with me few years back I was doing my Chaturma Savrata and then I emailed to Guru Maharaj Gurumaj I'm going to Chaturma Savrata. Please bless me. Yeah, this last. What brata are you doing? I'll not be eating something, fasting from some food. And then I'll be chanting 30 round every day for food. This is okay. But why? Why 32 round? Then Guruma said I was Gurumaj wrote me again. It was back and forth with me in Guru Mah he wrote that I was in Calcutta temple president chanting in the temple roof. Prabhupada called me. Why you are chanting? You are president. If you chant 32 round. So who will go for preach? So don't make a vow. You change 16 round every day. Minimum maximum whatever possible maximum you chant. Why 32 more whenever you get time. But utilize your time for preaching. So then next day onward I took out. I withdraw my vow. So okay. I not chant 32 no vows. I'll chant whatever possible more than 16. But I'll do my preaching activities. Because I also have my respons responsibility as a manager of iskcon. So Gurumas quoted from Prabhupada and Guru mas copied to me same one. So I see the gurumas is repeating same thing. Guru Maharaj is not saying. Not to create something mentally speculating something new thing. So all these things we can understand mood and mission of spiritual master. And if we can imbibe in our life, then our spiritual life will be sublime. Thank you very much.
