Festival Of Gratitude To Your Spiritual Master. #JayapatakaSwamiArchives

Sam.

Guru Maharaj had an attack in.

1989 in Madrid, Spain.

Then he was airport and after he had a big cut here, he took.

Out his uttari topis.

He just put them around his neck to stop bleeding. And he sat down on the floor.

And he was praying mentally that my.

Lord to Srila Prabhupada that if you.

Wish, let me stay longer because I.

Have more responsibilities and instruction to fulfill.

He negotiated in 1980, he negotiated again in 2008 when he had a stroke.

Guru Maharaj told us that mentally he.

Was praying to Prabhupada and Krishna. That was his second extension. And then in 2015 when he had a severe lung infection, he was fighting for his life.

And at that time he had like.

A vision while he was in icu.

The whole ICU was turning into a golden city. And he saw all his departed godbrothers.

And God sisters in that city, all.

Looking effarge and golden color. And they were calling him, come, come and join us. And told them that not now I have more responsibilities.

And to fulfill the instruction that Srila Prabhupada gave me another extension. And he went for this transplantation, liver transplantation, kidney.

When we met the surgeon in January 2018, he said that the history shows the chance of survival is 80%, but.

The chance of mortality is 20%.

But then Guru Maharaj deteriorated rapidly over the period from January all the way till August.

And on the day of surgery, the.

Surgeon told us that his condition was 50:50.

And Guru Maharaj said after the transplant, he said, I never suffered the pain.

Like how I suffered after this transplantation.

And he said that it was such.

An excruciating pain that it really tempted.

Him to go back home, back to.

Gaudet, just stayed on because he still.

Want to stay longer and to fulfill the instruction of skin.

So he almost had 4, 5, near experience.

Knowing well what he's going to face.

With such body and health.

He still negotiated to stay longer and.

Longer just for one reason.

That one reason is just to fulfill.

The instruction that Srila Prabhupada.

Now what other better example we need.

Lord.
