Krishna Kripa Prabhu and another devotee share memories of their guru Jayapataka Swami Maharaja and lead prayers for his recovery. They recount how the Patna ISKCON temple was founded and inaugurated on Akshaya Tritiya, then guide communal chanting of the Dhanvantari mantra and Narasimha kavacha.
Stand Foreign. Foreign. Foreign. Foreign. Foreign. Foreign. Krishna. So we have chanted few rounds. Later on again we'll chant couple of more rounds as we had a problem in to hear the Kirtan because of the technical problem here. So we are very very fortunate to have his grace. Krishna Kripa Prabhu is the temple president of ISKCON Patna here. Two years back Guru Maharaj very kindly came here and inaugurated this very beautiful temple. I must say that the temple in Patna is one of the most beautiful temple that we have in the ISKCON world. Krishna Prabhu is a very dear disciple of our beloved Guru Maharaj. So on this most auspicious day of Akshay Trutiya and the Brahmautsav of ISKCON Patna, I'll request his grace Krishna Kripa Prabhra to come and glorify Guru Maharaj. Especially in regards to this beautiful temple and why Krishna came leaving Mumbai to Patna and how he very successfully completed this project for the pleasure of Guru Maharaj and Guru Parampara and Prabhupada. So we will listen to him glorifying Guru Maharaj and then we'll continue with the other programs.
To everybody, all the devotees, to everybody. Just I like to inform about me how I came to contact with the Guru Maharaj. And he was so merciful. He came to from Mayapur to my village in Bihar. I'm from Bihar. So Guru Maharaj when I was six year old, six sorry, six class. I was in sixth class. Guru Maharaj came to my village and he came with the Satvik Prabhu and other devotees with the bands Mercedes Benz. And that time it was very new, new vans. We are not seeing that van. And all the village people like us we came to see him. And he was traveling to Bihar, Mayapur to Bihar by road. And after Prabhupada disappearance of this world, he came to Bihar. And we were always thinking, chanting about Prabhupada how he came and spread Krishna conscious this moment all over the world. And Guru Maharaj on the way that time to preaching and that time in my village we have very small center Namah. We do our work and evening we came to the Aarti. So Guru Maharaj came and he was blessed us like anything he started. He changed my name of our village. He get three villages like Nimai Gong Krishna gown like that. So that time I was playing Murdanga very I was small. Guru Maharaj called me and just he asked me. I was not knowing any English that time. And how he have learned this Mridanga. So I do. I told you know I have just learning from the people below. People they are playing. That was called that time. So he was very happy when he showed me. I was in sixth class, very small child and playing Mirdanga chanting Hare Krishna. So he blessed me on his leg. He called me and just like you know father do call children and take their leg. So he was very kind enough. You can say merciful that time. And I became. I was little. Little chanting and not full time. That was. And I was very much impressed. He is from America and he is giving. He came to my village like in a very little village and preaching, chanting, dancing. And when he was just walking one village to another village. There was no much road going to the that another village. So we walk thousands of people like us. We were going behind. Just we are running after him. He was so walking fast. So it was a strange. People were saying that time he is not ordinary person. He is a Mahapurus. He came so everybody was liking him. His personality. He is looking, he's chanting. He's saying he's playing Kartal. So there was the three villages, four villages he went and everybody is like appreciated and attracted to him. I was one of them very much taken. Ashray Guru Maharaj that time you can see when I was in sixth class I think 12, 13 years old. And when I went to ninth class I took initiation. That time in Mayapur I went and have darshan and I was very fear from him. Like you know his very. What is called. His personality was so big. And we are very not knowing English and looking him. He was saying speaking something like in a very special way. Oh, where are you from? Like that.
So.
Later on when I took initiation and he came to our place and I interested very much. Slowly, slowly I went to his near to him. Then that time I got my graduation and went to Bombay. Mumbai Juhu Iscon. I was doing service of the Prabhupada movement. Guru Maharaj. Like know when I came very closer I. I saw him. He was very kind hearted. He was very soft from inside looking outside. It was very. But when I became servant in Bombay when he came to meeting and he always asked me about Bihar. How is Bihar and whenever today even today I can tell you when I went to. When I was bom partner and went to Bombay. When he got hospitalized then he called. He saw me and called me. He how he's doing? Where is my little Choka? When he want to take me to the Bihar means In always remember very brilliant. You can say the brain stop. And when I went there in hospital and he asked me everything like you know he remember light computer. If you ask Google today he get me something. You can get it from beginning. Like you know I started. And in partner he came and saw some land dispute. He asked everything within five minutes. So he is a very brilliant. You can say I don't. I was not knowing Guru Maharaj can ask me remember me like that. So he is very kind enough on me. And he when I was in Bombay he gave me this responsibility to go in partner. Because you are from Bihar you do some service three months. I pray Guru Maharaj please give me some other places. Bihar is my native place. And I can't survive there. People will like you know very locally. They won't understand me what I am. So he explained me very widely. And I was refusing almost I was not comfortable to come to Bihar. The all the like God brothers. That time senior God brothers, Revati Raman, Prabhu, Madhu, Pandit Prabhu. Everybody was there. Maharaj was there. So when he was willing to go to the Bahrain he told me like you know all the God brothers are there. Look this is my disciple. He's not following my order. Everybody was shocked what Krishna Kripa has done. I was also. I was not understand that why Guru Maharaj is saying now. So in last he told I am making him temple president in Bihar. He is not going. So everybody like you know chastise me. See Guru Maharaj giving you mercy. Please you go that 11 o' clock in night. He typed as a temple president later for me. And that time he told me the Patliputra history is very important in BIC history. Please go and make a top 10 temple in Bihar. So and he has written the Mahaprabhu has visited Bihar. He has taken initiation from Bihar. His mercy is always with you when you go to Bihar. And he gave me the letter and he write also my mercy always with you. I am always with you whenever you work in Bihar. So I'm very proud. Today also I am very feeling proud. Guru Maharaj so merciful and I'm I have not made this temple Gloria Bihar project because of Guru Maharaj mercy. He has wrote me. He has given always blessings. Always asking how are you what doing any problems. So Guru Maharaj is so powerful. He blessed me. He has given in written and slowly. Slowly took like you know 20 years to grow in partner. Grow in beyond. It's very difficult. Like if he find water in Rajasthan. Rajasthan. Same here in Bihar it's very difficult to find donors and lands so many things. So by the mercy of Guru Maharaj we got the land. And before we don't have any money. When I came it was two rooms was rented. There is no money for eating. So I was started. That time Guru Maharaj one again this stranger. Whenever he comes to Bihar. That time when I became President There was one small rooms like you know, six by 10ft and one bed. Only Guru Maharaj used to stay. And he never told me I am uncomfortable. You can book me other places. Members house, hotel, anything so simple I have never seen in my life. And very small place he was living. And bathrooms like you know, it was broken. And he was surviving and very feeling well. He was nice doing here. He was spread more and more. And that time I was not finding any land Patna. So I took him around near to partner. Like 20, 25 kilometers away from here. He told you don't have money. And so Krishna Kripa you can do 50 acre land outside of Patna. Like Haryar Chetra we went. It was very much like that place. And Lord Shiva and Lord Bushni is together. There is a 7 chatra in India. One of the moksha Chetra called. So I was trying to get land 50 acre. But I didn't get one acre. Two acre. I was finding. So by the mercy of Guru Maharaj has sown lot of land nearby to Patna. But finally I got land in heart of the city Patna 2 acre land. And Guru Maharaj came blessed me. It was very nice land he gave her. And we got it in 3 lakh. 3 crores only not much. And today is a 300 crores that land value. So the blessings of Guru Maharaj all this happened nothing in partna. There is no much donors, no corporate house. But we started and slowly, slowly we got a very nice temple. Guru Maharaj came. And then Bhumi Puja here with the safaris. From when I became president. He came four times with his safaris to partner. And always safari devotees very happy welcoming in partner nearby like Gaia Mari event Rajgir all the places. And Guru Maharaj told me he will spread this moment all Bihar a big temple. Only one place in Patna. That is partly Putra history. And other places. You go to the small place like Bagsar religious place. When Lord Leela's is there. Like make a small temple, not big temple. And preach everywhere Namhat like you know, go village to village. And today we have gone to the almost al Bihar reached In village, village to village. Like you know all the devotees chanting. And Guru Maharaj has given initiation 4, 5 times in Bihar. Everybody likes him and surrender to him and Guru Maharaj always we are praying. It's my heart you can see. I'm not proud of telling myself. Whatever Guru Maharaj tell me today I am ready. Because all these things happen in my life. My life has become changed from the material world. Whatever I was, I was teacher. I went to the army. Everything happened. But now I am very happy whenever I see Guru Maharaj like no I am no tired. Always like you know, looking forward Guru Maharaj what he can let me know to do other. He always asking me when you are when he came Patna. Always asking about when you were calling me again to partner Bihar. So and he always remember Sasaram my birthplace. Because in the beginning he came and thousands of thousands people are chanting that time and loving Guru Maharaj. I am saying Mahapurush. So we also remember him. And Guru Maharaj also remembered about Bihar. So I'm this stage not well to do very much preaching. But by mercy of Guru Maharaj now we are going to village to village and 100 crores project has been started. Today is Akshay Trithiya is the second anniversary of the Sri Siradha market inaugurated this Temple and Akshatritiya 3rd May 2020. So today is the second year and we are very happy. Today we got Naragopal Prabhu grace all the devotees from Mayapur, Harinam, Shankirtan, Harinam Mela. They doing and remembering Guru Maharaj. Because of him we have got all the. You can say corporate temples, very big temples and big halls, restaurants, guest house, everything. So we are always thinking Guru Maharaj should be very kind to us and always give mercy to Bihar and all the devotees in the world. And is very merciful, very. And I have seen my life with Guru Maharaj. Somebody was donating a land in Vrindavan in name of Guru Maharaj. And she was my God sister Dr. In Varin and got land in Vrindavan. I requested Guru Maharaj. She wanted to give in your name. Kindly take it. Guru Maharaj denied as soon as he heard she wants to give. No problem. You give to temple Vrindavan and we will come and see. So it's very renowned on that area. We wanted to have some like, you know, guest house for the our God brothers in Vrindavan. I have given nice proposal to Guru Maharaj. But he is not denied that. So he doesn't want to be Anything in his name. So Guru Maharaj is very not only in Bihar. Everywhere is every disciples he take care of. And most of things he remember all his disciples. Whenever he sees and recognize. Till today most of people in the world just take disciples and for the numbers. But Guru Maharaj every devotees who is like near to him. Always talking to him, saying to him he remember and he always give blessings and asking this. He came Guru Maharaj last year in before Karthik. And he was going in airport. He asked me you want to say anything? What do you want from me? So I requested him please visit at least twice in a year to partner at least once in a year. He told okay, whenever you call me, I will visit to partner. So so merciful. So we like to so Guru Maharaj always asking about how you can develop. What do you want? What you need help from me. Recently when Guru Puja Vyas Puja of Guru Maharaj I was in Patna and he he was just living from Delhi to Noida. And he called me. See this is miracle. He called me Guru Maharaj and told Krishna Kripa I am just leaving for Yas Puja in Noida. You have any screen I will come alive and all the disciples should be there and I will address. So I told yes Guru Maharaj, we have a screen and bless me today I am very fortunate. So he called me, blessed me. So this kind of Guru Maharaj Leela it's very. We never thought he can call me because I'm very small disciple of his. Like you know, more than 50,000 disciples. So this kind of always like, you know, when he was in Chennai he called me Mayap. So unexpected. Nobody knows when I was not thinking when Guru Mahaj can call me, I should call him. But he called me several times when he was in Chennai hospital. I went there and some resources from the ministry I went. And Guru Maha is very recognized and happy. Like Krishna Gripa came from Patna and all the disciples of Guru Maharaj my God brothers are there very happy. So this kind of things Guru Maharaj is having. And for me always thinking Guru Maharaj should be always with us. He is there, but till our life he should be with us. And when Guru Maharaj was sick in Mumbai I went to Pandripur and the Vinath I prayed for Guru Maharaj. That time I went Jagya and I vital Lord vital. I told five years you take from my life and give to Guru Maharaj. So that kind of Guru Maharaj why is remembering all the disciples? Because all the disciples Loves him, devoted to him and he understand whenever he I told you when I was in 6th class like 13 years old and he called me, I was not knowing him who is. And he expressed himself and he recognized me. He can become devotee by touching his hand. I became devotee. There was no any knowledge about God and all. And he knows how to deal.
With.
Disciples who can be things I have seen in my life. Seen in my dream also temple by inspiration of Guru Maharaj every day I was just without even building. I was going every day to the roof, all the floors. And every day comes to the land in dream like you know. And I told Guru Maharaj I want to build this kind of temple when I sleep and in dream. So Guru Maharaj was very laughing. He told yes, why not? You can go ahead. In 2005 he came to partner with all the journal secretaries like his Holiness Gopal Krish Maharaj came. All the Maharaj came to partner for meeting, bureau meeting and ICC meeting. And I make the walkthrough of this temple. So as soon as all the devotees seen that walk through Gopal Krishnamaraj told Krishna Kripa this is five star temple. He don't have money how he's going to build the temple. You don't have money. So I just prayed to all the Vaishnavas Guru Maharaj. Whatever I am thinking because of my Guru Maharaj order and he is thinking you must do means I was not thinking. Guru Maharaj was thinking and forcing me to do his blessings. And also I told in the meeting whatever I am thinking, I am not alone. This build, this five star building temples is going to build for him for Shada Bakari. So he is also thinking my big palatial house is going to come. So he has also like you know thinking to be I am not alone. I was doing eight years service in Jewhu under him. He loves me like anything. Just I went to Samadhi. I feel he is not gone, he is here. So that's why all the Vaishnavaj, all the Guru Maharaj this is Guru Parampara. Like Prabhupada has done so many things. Mercy of his Guru Maharaj. My Guru Maharaj has done because of his Guru Maharaj. We are also doing because of our Guru Maharaj mercy. This is Parampara and blessings all the disciples. He is empowering. Just I can't imagine. He has written me and given his power to me. Blessings to me. So that kind of Guru Maharaj we need always in the center. Guru Maharaj and Mahaprabhu's mercies he's spreading all over the world. His disciples are doing like we are doing. We are thinking this should go pleasing to our Guru Maharaj. For Guru Parampara like Prabhupada, missions, mood and missions. So we are on the way Prabhu's and Mataj is my English is not so good. So we are also praying always for Guru Maharaj. He should be always with us. With a healthy mind, healthy health. And he should give me more and more work to do. We can do more and more. Not only in Bihar, out of Bihar also. So we always chant always for Guru Maharaj. He needs this kind of things. Medicine is not going to help him. Only this medicine. Mahamantra praying and our love and affections from by heart. We are praying to Lord for Guru Maharaj it will help and he like it. He loves always not for himself. He always saying for the disciples and his God brothers everywhere. I have seen one also quality to Guru Maharaj. When I was serving to the Bombay Mumbai. I have seen all so many gurus in ISKCON. Because I am from now 45 years in ISKCON. I have seen the Guru Maharaj always for his disciples saying no, no, come to my zone, do service here. Why you are another place. But my Guru Maharaj never said like this in my 46 yatra years yatra he has never said. And once when he was in Bombay, we are just talking. He told me Krishna Kripa, my disciples should be every temple in the world. Because wherever I goes, all the temples and my disciples should be there. So the broad minded like you know his thoughts. I believe Guru Maharaj because everywhere our God brothers in I think very rare should not any temples, but every temples we can find our God brothers. So this is Guru Maharaj's desire. And he always said also about spiritual life. He always given instructions to us. Wherever you go, give good example to the others and bow down to everybody. Even my God brothers. You respect everybody and do your service whatever you got. Even you have quality for cleaning temples you can clean. And one day he told me, if you want to become nice devotee, nice disciple of mine, you have to learn three things. You should know the driving and you know the swimming. And third he was saying you should know the typing. Three things you must know. And you can become like, you know, perfect disciple of mind, devotee of the Lord. Like that. There's so many things he like, you know, predict this kind of things. I like Guru Maharaj said like three Things and always disciples in the every temples in the world. And whenever you go respect everybody. Even he is not your Guru. But you must respect everybody. Even disciples and others. God brothers. So these kind of things. Guru Maharaj instruct and always give blessings. Even he goes to the airport. I remember whenever he goes like Bombay, Delhi, partner. Everywhere he go, he always goes late, not on time. Everybody was like, you know, hankering. We are crying. Guru Maharaj flight is going to to miss. But Guru Mahara was laughing very like, you know, he was knowing. No, no, no. Flight is there, I'm coming city is there. So very like. You know, you can say over knowing everything what is going to be happen. And his travels, his like you know, mood doing very very technically he's very sound. Even if you know don't get any ticket from partner to Mumbai. He will say five time five ways to get the tickets. We don't know. Even so his very presence of mind. I have seen in Bihar also one time chief minister came to the partner and he was saying why you called me here Guru Maharaj right? Of chief minister of Bihar. So Guru Maharaj just called me like you know by hand you come here. And he taken care of that. Why chief minister is saying why you called me. And chief minister said front of the Guru Maharaj because of his trick. He called me and he told me you go front behind him. He will understand what he wants. I went there and chief minister said, you know we can't think about. He said in Bihar you come all over from Bengal. I don't know about Bengal how you can grow. But in partner in Bihar you can build the temple. There is be no any problems at all. So Guru Maharaj tackle very simply. And chief minister bow down. That that day I have seen Guru Maharaj's capacity power. So this is the not only one so many places he has done Guru Maharaj like you know, effect. And I want always become Guru Maharaj shelter. I don't want to leave any other peoples like you know under. But Guru Maharaj whatever he wants to say, we are ready to follow. We are ready to do. And this is our. We should dedication. Our dedication should be like this. And I have seen in my life this Yatra. First anything happens. I remember Guru Maharaj. I never complain about my things to Guru Maharaj happened. Somebody is saying to me even all the devotees, senior devotees told me so many things. But I never told Guru Maharaj just pray to Guru Maharaj. He understand. I have seen if I pray to Guru Maharaj. I told Guru Maharaj by mind, by sitting Patna. He's in Delhi and praying to Guru Maharaj. He understand everything. He guide me from there. That I have realized in my life. And so many things happen in Patna also. One time he was in Kathmandu. He called me, I went there for meeting about the project only. So he asked me how we will get money for the land and temples. So I given my project. So he told me okay, very good. You have made plan. But you must know we are the beggar. Beggar cannot be chooses. He cannot. It's not seared. You can get if you go to the market and get money. Whatever you are, you have planned and thinking like beggar. You go somebody give 10 paisa, 10 rupees, 100 rupees. Like that somebody doesn't give. So you don't think he will get everything but must go to the shelter. Surrender to the Krishna. He will help. So Guru Mah lot of things to learn from him. He is but like you know, every time, every things he his presence of mind is there what to do. So this is the things whatever I have got from Guru Maharaj and it's very caring, very kind Merciful Guru Mahas to everyone. So we should always think about the Guru Maharaj and pray for him. He should be like you know, life guider. His guide always should be there. So we must pray for him and we are also praying. So thank you very much. Given this auspicious time today thanks to his grace, Naruga Pal Prabhu brought me here and I will again say Hare Krishna to every God, brothers and sisters who is online. Thank you very much Hare Krishna. If anything made mistake, please forgive me Hare Krishna Swami.

There are three altars in the middle is. And then on. On our right side is Sitaram Lakshman Hanuman. And then on our left side is Sri Sigournitai. And then Jagannath Sugotra is also there. Because previously before this temple was opened was there. So Krishna Kripa was making arrangement for a beautiful altar for Jagannath Balade and Shubhudra Maharani. This is all the mercy of Guru Maharaj. Please come. There are so many other holy places also here in Patna. It's one of the places that Guru Maharaj always talks about.
