Dear Devotees
Dandavat Pranams.
Today 5th of April 2009,is a historical day for devotees in Mayapur and
especially for the disciples and followers of HH Jayapataka Swami, as it is
his 60th appearance day. But it is more important as it is when many would
see him again after the health collapse that Gurumaharaja had last October
in Bombay.
The day is very hot and humid as it is normal during this time in the
hollydham. But even though, more than 5000 devotees came to join all of us
in this most auspicious occasion.
For the last 3 days there were seminars on Krsna and Srila Prabhupada Katha
for many devotees, given by great preachers as: Their Holinesses, Bhakt
Caru Swami, Lokanath Swami, Umapati Swami, Bhanu Swami, Hari Sauri Prabhu
and many others, including also the presence of all disciples sanyassis of
Gurumaharaja, Bhakti Purushottama Swami, Gauranga Prema Swami and
Bhaktisidhanta Swami. Tomorrow during initiations HG Sarvaisvarya Prabhu
will be given Sanyasa order by Gurumaharaja as well.
Later on i am sending a full report on today’s events and from yesterday
during the adivas ceremony.
Many vyasapuja books were offered from different yatras. one in English as
international vp book containing the offerings from the world over and this
book contains more than 40 offerings from Srila Prabhupada’s disciples. This
time if i a m not wrong. many were sent during the last few days that must
have been added to the WWW.victoryflag.com. web-site.
