Dear Devotees,
Hare Krsna. Please accept our most humble obeisances. All glories to Srila
Prabhupada. All glories to Srila Gurudeva.
Guru Maharaja was invited for a Vaisnava feast at Sulabh Bhojanalaya (Big
Kitchen by one of our Godsister Janani Radha Mataji. She is an elderly lady
and a very simple devotee. She always carries Laddu Gopal Deity with her.
She is very devoted to Guru Maharaja. She has been collecting donation for
two years since the stroke to arrange a feast to all the Mayapur vasis in
regards to the full recovery of Guru Maharaja’s health. She wanted Guru
Maharaja also to take prasad along with other devotees. Since Guru Maharaja
has a different diet, eats slowly and the time of his prasad is also early
he said he would just visit the devotees.
Janani Radha Mataji had instructed the door keepers to not stop any devotee
and to allow every one to take prasad. She didn’t want to commit any
vaisnava aparad as this feast was arranged for the recovery of Guru
Maharaja’s health. She was praying to her Gopal for the blessings. Around
1500 to 2000 devotees took prasad and every one seemed to be very happy. In
the end Guru Maharaja also came and thanked the devotees for accepting the
prasad. Everyone praised Janani Radha Mataji’s endeavor to arrange such a
big feast which is difficult for a poor lady. It just shows how if someone
has a sincere desire to serve Guru and Krsna then nothing is impossible to
achieve.
In the evening Guru Maharaja went to the community hall for the Vyasa Puja
celebration. Guru Maharaja recollected different memories when Srila
Prabhupada was in Mayapur. The local grihasta devotees had made hundreds of
preparations for the pleasure of Srila Prabhupada.
Your humble servants,
Vaikunthapati Das and Ratnavali dd
