Guru Maharaja left for the Lokomat therapy in the morning today. Guru
Maharaja is scheduled to give class in a center in Klang. Klang is about 30
minutes drive from Guru Maharaja’s residence. Bhakti Vrajendranandana Swami
was also scheduled to be at Klang. The devotees were very elated to be
receiving two great personalities at their center.
Bhakti Vrajendranandana Swami was already in Klang when GM arrived. The
welcoming for Guru Maharaja was grandly organised by the devotees in Klang.
Bhakti Vrajendranandana Swami first addressed the devotees. Maharaj also
glorified Guru Maharaja by saying that Guru Maharaja has been preaching all
over the world for the past 40 years with full dedication. Guru Maharaja
then addressed the devotees by first blessings all the devotees with strong
Krishna Consciousness. Guru Maharaja’s lecture was translated by HG Shanthi
Vardhana prabhu into Tamil. Guru Maharaja mentioned that he is very happy
that Bhakti Vrajendranandana Swami is together with him and Guru Maharaja
stressed that we are fortunate to have him with us. At this point Bhakti
Vrajendranandana Swami also said that we should be more fortunate that Guru
Maharaja is with us. Shanthi Vardana prabhu translated this also and Guru
Maharaja told him not to translate what Bhakti Vrajendranandana Swami said.
This is another display of humility by Guru Maharaja. Guru Maharaja did
not want everyone to hear his glorifications.
Guru Maharaja went on to speak on Caitanya Lila. It was a very very
nectarean class. Guru Maharaja spoke about Advaita Acarya and about
Shantipur festival. Guru Maharaja also described the birth place of Advaita
Acarya which is now in Bangladesh. Guru Maharaja went there by helicopter
during his last visit to Bangladesh. As they were all in the helicopter,
slowly the pilot landed the helicopter. The pilot then got down and asked
someone nearby where is Advaita Acarya’s Birthplace. He then took off again.
Then he stopped over at another place and asked for direction again. Finally
they arrived at Advaita Acarya’s Birthplace. The devotees laughed when they
heard these wonderful pastimes. Guru Maharaja had a lot of praises for
Bangladesh devotees.GM also mentioned about how he likes to hear sankirtan
stories. He mentioned that one devotee in LA, Vrindavan Lila mataji used to
read sankirtan stories every night. Guru Maharaja also said that Caitanya
lila is still going on today and we can all be part of it. He requested the
devotees present to also share their stories.
One such story resulted to the introduction of an Iranian couple to Guru
Maharaja. A Mataji had preached to this Iranian couple and they attended
Guru Maharaja’s class. The couple was very happy to see Guru Maharaja. Guru
Maharaja honoured them very nicely by giving away his maha garland.
It was already 10.30 by the time class ended. Guru Maharaja was then
escorted by the devotees back to the car. Everyone, everyone was plastered
with a smile on their face…a genuine smile. The session with Guru Maharaja
was so out of this world. Guru Maharaja brought us to yesteryears with his
evergreen Caitanya Lila.
