Max. 30 minutes. Thank you. Over to you. Please unmute yourself.

Hare Krishna. Am I audible? Hare Krishna?

Yes, Prabhu. Yeah.

I'm very grateful to get this opportunity to glorify His Holiness Jay Patraka, swine. Guru Maharaj, our spiritual master, who has shown us the right to go back home, back to Godhead. Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama, Rama Rama Hare Hare Hare Krishna. I really apologize. I got a little bit of a throat problem, so please bear with me. So here we are, here to glorify our Guru Maharaj. As Medhavani Mataji just told that, you know, our Guru Maharaj's glories are unlimited and we can glorify it forever. So just take a few incidents which I. I had some good experiences during my initial years. And also one particular Shloka I will take from Srimad Bhagavatam, which Guru Maharaj often quotes in his lectures. You must have heard also. It's from the 10th Canto of Srimad Bhagavatam. It says, sama shay padapallavaplavam. So when you hear this particular shloka recited by Guru Maharaj, it will be very, very, you know, inspiring to anyone who hears him chanting the Shloka. And along with this loka, this shloka basically is about. It says that, you know, that anyone who surrenders to Krishna, any. Any person who surrenders to Krishna Murari, to that person, this ocean, this great ocean of designs becomes just like a small calf's hoof print, becomes so small that we can easily cross it over. And it also says that Padam, Padam. It says this material world is a place full of miseries. It is Dukkhali Mashasvatam we all know. So here, this place being full of miseries, you can easily cross over it. Gur Maharaj used to give a very nice example. In his very humorous way, he used to tell that this vitriol world is a place. And he will say that, you know, when the person is just walking on the road and this banana peel and he just sleeps. And then Guru Maharaj will. Nice sense of humor, you will say. So this is how this material world is. So in this material world, there is some little bit of happiness in between, but we always have to encounter lot of difficulties, you know, very little happiness. But those who surrender unto Krishna, those who become totally dependent on Krishna for them. Guru Maharaj inspired us to with this loka saying that we can easily cross over this material world, this difficult path of this material world. So I've been in association with Guru Maharaj. I had got the first association blessings of Guru Maharaj in the year 1984 when he had come to Trichy Srirangam. And then in 1985 I happened to be we go to Balram Desh when there was a very nice devotee, Dr. Radharaman Prabhu in his house. He used to conduct a very nice congregation. And Guru Maharaj was invited there. And Guru Maharaj used to initiate disciples, the new devotees and all in his house and Radhara Prabhu's house. That was my first very close interaction with Guru Maharaj. And Guru Maharaj gave us very wonderful blessings. And he was such a charismatic personality. Of course, you all know how Gur Maharaj was before and his voice was so inspiring that anyone who heard his lecture once will like to hear it again. And when he used to come, you know, night one o' clock he landed in Bahrain. And at night one o' clock also, you know, after we all, I mean, we didn't know that, you know, we are not supposed to trouble him so much. Devotees are so enthusiastic. They conducted a pada puja and he allowed that also. And after that he spoke for about half an hour. You know, the lecture went on between say 145 to 230. And so that was the kind of, you know, Guru Maharaj's enthusiasm and his keenness to associate and bless devotees was so very intense that it was really those days we didn't realize that how difficult it would have been for him to travel. You know, coming from a long journey, when now when we travel even a short distance, we travel and come. We immediately want to have it. Next day we have a jet lag and we want to recover. They take a day area some time to recover. But Guru Maharaj was going on and on and on. And finally, of course, it took a toll on his health. So later on, in later years, I could understand the difficulty of saying so when in Krishna Katha Desh I had this great opportunity to serve Guru Maharaj. Along with his grace, we had a very great opportunity to serve Guru Maharaj. Whenever he used to visit, we had very close association. And those days we used to take extra care. We started taking care that when Guru Maharaj will come very late at night and all, we'll just make sure that he's just. We receive him and then, you know, as soon as possible, we allow him to take some rest so that his next day's routine is not kind of disturbed. So we took lot of, I mean, care that way. But again, you know, our enthusiastic devotees are all there all the time. And you know, and Guru Maharaj also becomes equally enthusiastic when he sees his disciples there. So it was a very wonderful association we had. And then, of course, I remember for another year, 1986 or 1986 or 87, I don't recall now, that was a time when there was a Bengalur Rath Yatra. And that time the new Iskcon temple was being built in the Rajaji Nagar hilltop. You know, this is a small Krishna Ram, small temple, and Guruma, under Guru Mahara's blessings only that temple was built. And that time they conducted a very wonderful Rath Yatra. And Guru Maharaj had invited, of course, Gur Maharaj was the leading reading the Trith Yatra. Basically it started from the. From the main majestic area of Bangalore and it was going towards the Rajaji Nagar temple, Iskcon temple. It. It's ending there. And he had very good association with our Pejavar Swami. Pejavar met Swamiji from Udupi. So the Pejavar Swami of Udupi, he had come to inaugurate the tr. He was the first one who gave, who brushed the.

The.

The road for Lord Jagannath to start. And then Guru Maharaj was there and he was so very divine and you know, sitting on the rat. Gur Maharaj was on the rath for many of most of the time. And then he'll get down from the rath and then he will along with devotees, he'll start singing and dancing and he will lead the kirtan in such a big way that, you know, the entire. Nobody ever felt that this six to seven kilometers of, of journey, of course it took about four hours to do it, but not one person was tired, you know, did not feel any kind of distress during that entire journey. It was such a wonderful experience to be in Rath Yatra with Guru Maharaj and he will use his wampers and his kirtan was ecstatic. So those were very, very memorable times that we all devotees could experience. This was in the early days and I was also quite new in those days as a devotee, aspiring devotee of. And then Guru Maharaj, somehow he took a liking to me and he just like he allowed me to come to see him later in the room. He. I went along with my wife of course, the temple president arranged for me to go and meet him. And Guru Maharaj gave a special half an hour, you know, audience, which was very difficult because there was one great singer had come, you know, there was a big program was going on and I think one of the top political personality had also come to for the main temple program. But Guru Maharaj took his time and he was inside the room and he was taking care of this, you know, aspiring devotees. He took so much care and he gave us blessings and he also gave us a lot of inspirational. How so? Those days, now I remember, you know, such things were so very influential in, in my later part that I could get Guru Maharaj special mercy. Nowadays you, of course, you are all living in Mumbai and places like India and all. It is so difficult to get Guru Maharaj's association, which was, you know, not so easily available. But now. So that's why sometimes I feel that devotees of Guru Maharaj and disciples of Guru Maharaj who are living in Middle east are very, very fortunate because they get very close association and all the devotees get a chance to serve Guru Maharaj in different ways. But in so many ways we are also at great fault in the sense that we did not take care of Guru Maharaj when it came to giving him prasadam because Guru Maharaj used to love good prasadam. But what happened was devotees did not really take care of, you know, the quality of prasad Sri Lanka. We should have put restricted, you know, certain things. We should have taken proper control about how much better because we want to make it nice. We will not bother, you know, we put lot of sugar and ghee and so many things without realizing that it is not going to be very helpful to Guru Maharaj's health, you know. But later, on, later stages, we realized that we have to take care of him and, you know, we have to. But it was already too late, you know. So Guru Maharaj, of course later on started taking care of himself also along with your twist. But it was so wonderful association we had. And in one of the instances in, in Bahrain, when he first came, sorry, in Krishna Kathadesh, when he first came, the devotees there did not know how to treat Guru Maharaj because Vaikunta Pati Prabhu himself was quite new. He had just come from Muscat. And this was before I came to Krishna Katha. Now it's called Doha Kathar. And there it seems that when Guru Maharaj came, some of the devotees didn't know, of course, knew, but other devotees didn't know. That, you know, he's a very great personality. And they were sitting. They started sitting next to him in the sofa and just, just like, you know, it's a casual, this thing. And Gurmaraji did not feel anything. He made them feel so comfortable and nice. And then later on, after some time when Prabhu came and then we all got to. Later on we. When he got. They all got to know that this is great Acharya. And of course when Guru Maharaj travels, he wears his shirt and pant and you know, cap and all. So people did not realize that he's such a great Acharya. And and Guru Maharaj, another great quality was, you know, how he will handle different difficult situations in the airport and all. Whenever there is any difficult situation, he was so very confident about what he's talking and how he will. So even if there is any difficult situation, you'll be easily able to overcome it. And that was his. He was such a charismatic person personality that not only in spiritual, he was, you know, charismatic in attracting all the devotees to him. Him also to non devotees. He was so merciful that even non devotees will get mesmerized by his personality. I've seen many times when we'll go to the airport and all to receive him, there will be a lot of people who will be waiting, who will not even be non devotees will be willing to come and talk to him or you know, like to see what kind of a great personality is coming in, you know. So that was his greatness. And of course Gurmaraj, this thing is. There's no end to glorifying him. So we all had very wonderful association of Guru Maharaj in Krishna Kathadesh, in Balram Desh and also in Damodar Desh. Many times when Guru Maharaj I also got opportunity to go for some business visit and give his programs there in Shivala Prabhu's house and you know, in Abu Dhabi also in Avatar. So great. We had great opportunities to. To have darshan. And as I saw it, the Middle east devotees are very blessed in the sense that they get so much extra special association with Gur Maharaj. And but one great thing also is that, you know, we are not. There's so much of people have much more time here. You know, there's. Because in India you find a lot of traffic, pollution, so many commuting is not that easy. So in Middle east it's much easier. So that way, you know, people get more time to perform their devotional service. And I will, I take A lot of pride in telling that. You know, the devotees of Krishna Katha Desh in Qatar, they are very, very serious and you know, they practice very wonderfully. I mean of course you all, when I see the amount of enthusiasm and the way you all conduct the programs and all also you are very inspiring. But this, these devotees in Krishna Katha Desh, they keep up to the very high standards of deity worship and very high quality of chanting. And it's all due to the mercy and inspiration from our dear beloved Guru Maharaj. So we all pray for his good health and speedy recovery and take his blessings. Hare Krishna. Thank you so very much. Hare Krishna.

So much. Now I would request Sukakara Krishna Prabhu to be ready. We will just do chanting of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra. I'll share the screen and then we after chanting Hare Krishna Mahamadra then we'll request Krishna Prabhu to share glorification of Hare Krishna. Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna Krishna says one can immediately learn to love Krishna simply by chanting and serving the holy name. For the good health and long life of his own I dedicate the results of churning for the good health and long life of his own Hare Krishna. So thank you all for participating. So with this we completed four rounds of chanting the Hare Krishna Mahamantra. We would dedicate the chanting of the Hare Krishna Mahamantra, the chanting of Narsimha Kavacha, the chanting of the prayers Narasimhaarti Sri Dhanmantri Mantra. All of this for the good health and long life of Vivan Swami Sri La Guru Maharaj. We're offering these prayers the lotus feet of of Sri Nar Singade Panchata, Sri Sri Radha Madhavasundar, Sri Sri Krishna Rasi Bihari to offer their blessings to Guru Maharaj so that Guru Maharaj may have a long life and Guru Maharaj may come back to the best of his health. Hare Krishna. So now the grand culmination of our session is his grace. I am not able to see Prabhu. Prabhu, can you raise your hand? Yeah. Okay, so grand culmination of our session. But we'll end by glorification of Guru Maharaj by Sukakarakshuka Krishna. Prabhu, everyone knows there's no need to introduce Prabhu. But for your own purification and for the benefit of all those new devotees. Sugakarakrishna Prabhu is the most enthusiastic devotee that I know of. Off. So we are restricting Prabhu to the next 15 minutes to glorify Guru Maharaj. Sorry Prabhu for the time constraint, but we want to hear from you. Very enthusiastic like this great Radhaji. Even Prabhu was speaking about enthusiasm of Shla Guru Maharaj. So enthusiasm spreads over all of his disciples. When I say disciples, it's not just Guru Maharaj Diksha disciples. Right? Recently we know that Guru Maharaj has already created an email ID for Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj's disciples so that they can reach out to Guru Maharaj. In the recent past it also done that for his own Bhaktuchara Swami Maharaj disciples. So the whole world, right? Are the Diksha and Siksha disciples of his own. Enthusiasm flows down to all of us. So. And one shining example of enthusiasm is Sukhakara Krishna Prabhu. So not taking more time Prabhu over to you for glorification of Srila Guru Maharaj.

So all your urine is much more than me. So I see you start taking class from morning 4 o'. Clock like. Like a mother. You keep waking up all your students. Do this, do that. You are the most enthusiastic. Nice to see you after so many years. So Matan, you want me to sing Gurudev Kripa Bindu. There's no time for singing song Prabhu.

Please glorification directly. Prabhu.

Yes, yes.

Thank you.

This song.

Thank you. Yeah.

So.

So. Yeah. Yeah. Prabhu. So we will. We will sing this tomorrow morning. Okay. That reminds me. So we are. We are. We are having every morning Brahmamurta chanting session from 5am to 6.40am where we chant with one round Vishala Prabhupada and one round Vishala Guru Maharaj where we daily.
