Prayers for HH Gopala Krishna Goswami Maharaja & HH Jayapataka Swami Maharaja

Pay back to home. But whatever little that we can pay back, we should do it. And just to begin, you know, has 19 outposts, we call them as the Bhakti Sevens in various areas connected with the temple holding many, many, many programs. And this is just the beginning 19 plus we're going to add another six, seven more. Six such sudden from the Hindi and Bengali groups to you know, reach out to more and more devotees across Bangalore. We have congregation outreach programs, we have the IYF programs, we have the girls, the Youth girls preaching program, we have children preaching program and we have the Bihe where we have many Bhakti Shastri, Bhakti Vaibhav and IDC courses running and many other programs which are running with this. We also have launched the Gita Gyan during COVID 19 and this is an 18 day course which is a big hit and was taken up in many countries including Malaysia and some of the other Middle east countries. It was a very, very big program that was, you know, conducted by. We also run regular Gita courses, that's the Gitasar batches where many families, many youth are getting connected to the community and advancing in their spiritual life. We are blessed to have association of many senior devotees and sanyasis who visit our temple very regularly and bless us with their association. Devotees here have taken a various commitment towards the speedy recovery of dear Guru Maharaj. And apart from this we also have an online yatra which is running. So this online yatra has a commitment of 16,108 rounds of chanting which actually means that we're going to be doing about 500 rounds per day. Now this is all the, this is all at the behest of our Guru Maharaj who envisaged that the temple, the Shishadripuram temple should really take over the mantle of spreading the Ka Consciousness within the Bangalore as a city. And Guru Maharaj also envisaged that Bangalore will be the first Krishna conscious city. So we have to spread wide and large within the city of Bangalore. Apart from this, we have also been doing the Dhanavantri Yajna in the morning at the temple for Gur Maharaj's health. And we have also planned the Dhanvantri Abhishek tomorrow which is the Akshayatritiya for the good health and complete recovery of Guru Maharaj. The temple. As we all know, we came out of the Hare Krishna hill and we had a very, very humble beginning. And from that time we've really grown big under the leadership of His Grace Anukul Kesha Prabhu and other senior devotees from the temple congregation. And they've always supported us, handheld us, pulled us, pushed us. I would say they've done everything to ensure that the devotees do everything that's required to fulfill the vision of Srila Guru Maharaj. Our temple is a very serene ambience and devotional atmosphere which attracts both the locals and the tourists. So we have a lot of devotees from outside who come. The temple is constructed in a shape of a shank. So that's the palace temple for Sri Sri Jagannath Baldev and Subhadramai. It offers opportunity to experience the spiritual bliss and people find solace in the Krishna consciousness. It serves as a reminder of the importance of spirituality, devotion and community in the fast paced and materialistic world. So this is about Ispanche Jagannath Mandirshishadripuram Bangalore and we are hosting today's for the good health and complete recovery of our our dear Guru Maharaj. And we will continue our program from here. I think we have Ankul Keshavrabu who is joined with us and I would request his grace Anukul Kesha Prabhu to give us a little more insight into the activities of the temple. And apart from that we would also request Guru Ankul Kesha Prabhu to give his personal association and personal experiences with our dear Guru Maharaj. Thank you very much and hi Krishna over to. Okay, so I have a little change that I see here. His grace and Prabhu is going to be speaking about his experience and other things at about 6:45 which is about, about 40:35 to 40 minutes from now. So I would request Himanga Haldar Prabhu to take over from here and we continue the Kirtan at the temple hall here at Shri Jagannath Mandir. Thank you very much. Hare Krishna.

Hare Krishna. So we again welcome all the devotees who are joining us online today and also offline. We see there are almost 250 devotees who have joined online. So we are very fortunate today that JPA Seva committee has given us an opportunity who is gone Sheshadipuram to host this session and together come and pray for the speedy recovery of Guru Maharaj. So now next in our program is glorification and the memories of Guru Maharaj associated with Iskconshadipuram. So we have his grace Anukul Keshav Prabhu with us. He will be telling in next 15 minutes very beautiful pastimes. But just one line, maybe one minute about Anukul Keshabra. So Prabhuji is here, temple president. So Prabhuji is here temple president. And he came in touch with Krishna consciousness or with guru Maharaj in 1985. And since then, since then he has been serving in so many various capacities. And if you see in Bangalore there are so many centers and each temple has so many outposts. So very nicely Prozi guides and also encourages everyone to practice more and more and you know, become more closer to Krishna also. Prabhuji is also working very closely towards this goal of making Bangalore as first Krishna conscious city. So we can see he is so dedicated and committed. Today also his health was not good. But he traveled all the way from many kilometers he was in factory. I think he came just to give us association. So let us hear from Prabhuji now. Thank you.

This is my duty to come to glorify Guru Maharaj. Whether it is too far or near far does not make a difference. With I can say I am very fortunate who got Guruma's association personal association for a long time. Where one of senior devotee in Bangalore said when I asked Bruma's visit to my house. When Guruma was going to airport that time our old hal airport was used to be there. Then I said my house on the way to from temple to airport. So kangaroo might drop me in few minutes. His answer was there Prabhu. Their long list. There are hundreds name in list. If today I write your name, your name will come after 10 years. I said okay Prabhu, at least be merciful. You write my name. Let it my turn come in after 10 years. But Guru and Krishna if somebody do Ahankar came in service of Krishna or Guru then he gets smashed that Krishna and Guru's mercy was there. I don't know where he was in service. But I was in personal service after six months. And it was long period till 2009 or maybe in starting 10 till 2010. I used to host Guru Maharaj where I was not getting chance for few minutes. I don't know it. I can say Janmay Janmay Se Prabhu. I don't know. I had as Prabhu said Guru Maharaj's first connection in 2 1985. 86 I think who took me to Guru Maharaj. I think in 87 we were sitting evening Guru Maha was taking his dinner Prashad. He said okay tomorrow. He used to call me Maharaja. Maharaja. That time slightly initiation was very easy. But I was drinking. I had no concern that time concept was there. If you leave few days, okay, you are passed and start chanting season rounds. Because as Prabhupada in starting also giving ISKCON wants to expand for that purpose. Like me unqualified person. I was ready to take risk Guru Maharaj and other devotees. But I don't have that type of concept of initiation. I said. I said, no, I am not ready. Let's wait. Then Gurmaj took from his plate.

When.

I still remember date and he gave in my hand for Mahapasha. He said, you take it. So from there it started my connection with Guru Maharaj.

I.

When he used to he that time 98 till 2008. And after another one and a half year he was coming for some treatment near Andhra. He was frequently coming to Bangalore actually. And sometime GBC was making mandatory for Guru Mah to stay in Bangalore in a month. 20 days, 15 days. Some one 10 days. Like that way they used to tell him okay, this month you have to spend so much time in. So for that purpose he used to spend lot of time in Bangalore. So old devotees got lot of mercy that time in temple. Once Guru Mai came from Chennai, he was giving class in old temple. I got call from Chennai. Prabhu, there is one slip for you in Guruma's pocket. Right pocket. I said. He said, guruma gave you that slip. I said no. He said go and just took out sleep and read. I said fine. I went in Gurmaj giving class. I said, gurumaji in your pocket. When sleep is there for me. He done like this. I took a sleep. I went outside and read. It was written his BP is very high. So take control, take care. Then I went, I switched over the mic. He said like this is a if old devotee somewhere sitting like Rasika Madhuri. I can say maybe that time maybe in temple I am not able to see any old devotee who was there that time he saw like this. I said your BP is very high. So no more class. He said okay switch on. Let me wind up. I said for I don't know it is his mercy if I done some mistake also. But he never scolded me or never fired me. What you are doing? Switching off my mic. He is like this. If anybody else Guru would have been there. He would have fired.

Actually.

It is offence. Actually going and switching off mic of Guru or something like that. Then in few minutes he winded up class. Then we were standing. Old temple must be seen. There was kitchen outside. And outside kitchen there was some place where Gurmaila was standing. And few devotees were tracking. Actually I was pushing. Let's go. Let's go. Because he was supposed to leave early morning that time only from Calcutta. One flight used to come from night evening night nine o' clock used to come. And the Indian airline that used to be late 8:45 used to be time. But that used to come nearly 101030 hours late. And one early morning flight from Bangalore to Calcutta that was 5:45 6 o' clock that used to go from here. That was the only Calcutta connection from Bangalore. Then one of disciple brought some Srirangam parsad that was fried and salty. Very much salty. Actually Murku actually he gave them. Gave Guru Mah Muruku like this Guruma broken like this. And he was asked to put like this. Then I pushed like this from his hand. He started laughing. He saw me and smiled. Actually because he understood why I does not want him to take salt tea and fry. Actually but that devotee started arguing with me because he was not knowing. He said why you are not lying to take Srikam Prasad. I brought the. I said Prabhu you gave him. I took from his hand. So no problem. He said no he go on arguing with me. It is the mercy of Guru to satisfy him. He said show me. He just broken that piece also half and put like this. So settle the thing like that. Whatever I learned I try to implement.

It.

Happened at two flights in US that they crashed in building. Evening Guruma was giving class. So I got message Kevan plane got crashed. I went. I told Guru Maharaj like this happened. He said okay what is Then he told me okay what next latest news is there. You just tell me. Then second plane crashed. When I told him he said again he winded up. He said I want to hear news. Actually what's happened? So he ended up class. He had news and go on chanting. He was slightly painful. What's happening?

Like this One day I will say two incidents. Seeing other disciples.

We should not act like him. Actually in silence of Guru.

I used to tell something. Guru used to sometimes agree.

To go to Jindalaj. Whenever I used to talk, he used to laugh and leave it.

Let's go to Jindagur Mahaj.

You and me will lose some weight. Actually he said okay. Okay.

One of senior mother is there in Jagannamande after Guru Puya. She asked me she is outside.

From outside I did not hear from Jainamandika.

She said Prabhu, what about your program of Jindal? I said Gurumaj Astrani. I said I am telling Gurumaj but he is not agreeing. So I said Guru Maharaj so many. I said Guru Maharaj, I told you so many times. Let's make a program. When you give me confirmed date, I will book. He laughed and left.

Means okay.

That Mataji started pushing Guru Maharaj once.

Or twice he got angry is that.

I am your Guru, you are not my Guru. Don't try to push me. So I want Guru Mah. Everyone has their own weight. And he knows how you are recuperating with him. Then only he just cannot take it. Actually in my house one mother came for cooking. Actually Kuma disciple. And she is wife of Prabhupada disciple. So my wife's she was cooking go for Guru Maharaj. My wife used to just measure and put salt ivory. And she saw that Mataji just speaking like this.

Like this.

Like this.

She was putting salt.

And Guruma liked very much that Pasha they eaten well. And he said U kasha was good. Then I said so and so Mata.

I do not remember her name Now.

I said she is here. She has cook. Guma said Prashant is good.

So.

Next day my wife also same trick she adopted. She also took like salt and like this.

Like this. Like this.

I didn't say I. I don't know who was serving prasad. But I was not knowing Goma eaten or not eaten. But she noticed Guruma had not taken full Pasha on that day. So I was. It was afternoon about 3 o' clock or something. I did not remember where Guruma was going. So I was going to top Guruma. At airport. My wife said can I come?

I said okay come.

I am alone only.

We come back to her.

So she was sitting backside myself and Guruma was sitting front. We reach near that when this road comes. Exactly. I remember the signal from commercial street. When road comes to near Tom cafe we reached there. The signal is standing. Who cooked today?

Food?

No. She asked me slowly first.

Today Guru Maharaj has not taken prasad properly.

Then I asked Guru Mahar she is asking you have not taken Prashad properly. Then he said who cooked food prashad today?

I said answer.

She said I only could. Then Guru Mah said why salt was too too much Today I said no answer you. Then he said sorry Guru Maharaj. I copied. Yesterday Mataji was sprinkling salt. So I also tried to copy that. So maybe no you should cook your own way not to copy anybody else. Actually how is she?

Or he is cooking actually. So.

I last only just I'll say thank you very much. From our there are lot of pastime I can remember. But memory is also getting fed. So I'll tell somebody next time when I speak somebody can note down. So we can record it.

Hare Krishna. So thank you so much for joining for today's prayer session so we can even devotees here in Shishadipuram can actually take more and more commitments to serve Guru Maharaj. There is one short pastime. Very inspiring. Once Guru Maharaj was in Juhu 2019 and it was night 10 o'. Clock. He returned after the class and he was going to his room. It was on first floor. But before entering the room he saw in the lobby corner there is one small boy going. So he told his servants that please take me there. And they said, Guru Maharaj, no one is there. He said, one boy is there, I want to give him blessings. Because he was coming all the way giving blessings. Guru Maharaj went just for that one boy all the way in the lobby and he was not there because he had gone to dry his clothes. There was cloth drying area and I was also there. Then me and Ritinproo was there. We had to literally search that boy and bring Please come. Guru Maharaj wants to give you mercy. So that is the mode of Guru Maharaj. He catches living entities and gives them mercy. So more and more his association is there with us. You know, he'll be serving Srila Prabhupada. So. But as JPS SEVA committee is telling that prayers can help a lot in speedy recovery and whatever Krishna willing. So we can offer our prayers and on an everyday basis do our regular Sadhana and follow four regulatory principles strictly Hare Krishna. Thank you so much. We thank Jankirampur for coordinating the whole event and giving us an opportunity. Thank you so much.
