Vrajarāja Prasāda Dāsa, from Chennai, joined ISKCON ten years ago and was initiated about a year before this recording. He began chanting after a friend's invitation and now practices 16 rounds daily while serving through Sunday distribution. He praises Jayapatākā Swami's dedication to Prabhupada's mission despite health challenges at age 74 or 75.
Yeah. My official name is Meditation and my initiation name is Brajaraja Prasadas. I got initiated last year. One year back and I was from Chennai. Basically from Chennai. Born and brought up in Chennai. And I came to ISKCON exactly 10 years back. Exactly 10 years when the new temple been inaugurated after the Subam Resham and all those things happened. My friend he called me. Where did you come from? Temple. Okay. I just given him at the time he gave me rebates. Just chant it. From that day onwards I started chanting by Guru Maharaj, Masi and Krishna. So how are you meeting with the Guru Maharaj? And how was your initiation? Initially I felt was really excited actually because the first time I'm seeing him otherwise normally I used to see the videos and pictures et lectures. This is the first time last year and two months after I think Chennai for that celebration also at the K festival Only in my occasion I see price any memories from him in the. In this last year with him memories he gives what things can be tell. To my knowledge I'm just telling. He's a very astonished person. I can say he has complete mercy of Krishna. That's what I have said. At the age of 74, 75 is still able to in spite of lot of health issues. He's able to in spite of his health issues. And he's able to trying to achieve his Guru Maharaj mission. And I am happy to say that I am one of the say small devotee and trying to do some small. So how you see Guru Maharaja dedication to fulfill Prabhupada instruction. He used to emphasize apart from chanting 16 rounds daily plus regulator principles following to the fifth house also used to tell that please as my devotee please help me to achieve the Prabhupada goals. That is like distributions and preaching lot of things is there. So I am trying every Sunday I tried the Roto Sanki. So I'm trying to do something small, very small service. But running to do service for preaching anyway is helping me a lot. So soon another year I be doing things. You want to tell anything to Guru Maharaj. Thanks a lot.
