Bhakti Vriksha Revolution in Russia

Bhakti Vriksha Revolution in Russia

Bhakti Vrksha, as most of us know by now, is one of the important form of preaching and cultivation, a gift from the previous acharyas to survive within the tough waves of Kali yuga. This year during the Gaur Purnima Festival in Mayapur,the Congregational Preaching Director for Russia, Angira Muni Das (AMD) along with many other Bhakti Vriksha (BV) devotees repeatedly requested Guru Maharaj (GM)to visit Russia for the Bhakti Vriksha Festival which will be held during the summer. Prior to the stroke, GM used to visit Russia atleast twice a year, but since then he could not visit at all. So, AMD kept asking us for a confirm date so he could start organizing the festival. He organises this ten-day festival twice a year, one during the Summer Holidays in July/August, and other during the Christmas Holidays

in December/January.

Guru Maharaj’s Homage to Srila Prabhupada 2011

homage to His Divine Grace Srila Prabhupada by His Holiness Jayapatäka Swami gurumaharaja 2011

My dear spiritual father, Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupäda, nama om visnu-pädäya krsna-presthäya bhü-tale srimate bhaktivedänta-sväminn iti nämine namas te särasvate deve gaura-väni-pracärine nirvisesa-sünyavädi-päscätya-desa-tärine

Please accept my respectful obeisances. All glories to you, Srila Prabhupäda! This very insignificant disciple of yours is taking this opportunity to offer you homage. During your manifested liläs, I offered myself to you, saying “I am yours,” and you said, “I accept you.” I was very much pleased to be your servant. Many disciples find it difficult to get some personal association with their guru or some direct instructions from him, but you were very kind to me and gave me many personal instructions. I do not remember all of them, but I remember some.

Daily Diary of Guru Maharaj 11th – 14th August

Daily Diary of Guru Maharaja by , Maharaja Isvara Puri das. 11 to 14 August 2011.

 

“FROM RUSSIA WITH MORE PREMA”

Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga.

On August 11 Guru Maharaj arrived from Russia to Kolkata, completing the last portion of his second trip around the world. In Mayapur we expected arrival late in the evening of that day but due to poor weather and as a consequence the fall of a tree in the road, made his arrival in Mayapur be postponed for the next day, staying in the Habibpur village temple and satisfying the desire of the president and the local devotees, which had built a special room for Guru Maharaj, as mentioned in the report called “A Long Journey to Mayapur.”

Diary: 12th to 15th July 2011

“Days pass”
Please accept our humble obeisance.
All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga.

GM’s activities during these 4 days have not been as intense as those of the previous days. You could say that these 4 days are more relaxed than the past 2 months in the sense He has not been traveling for considerable distances and there was no special festival during these days and to my knowledge no planned meetings. Guru Maharaj has been giving classes on Bhagavad Gita in the evening. At bedtime Guru Maharaj relaxes with the Krishna book. I asked the devotee of Iran every night to help me with Guru Maharaj and please take the service of reading, as I have to admit that my mispronunciation of some words is a disturbance to GM. Fortunately he has accepted and has been doing this service for all these nights.

Diary: 11 Jul 2011

“THE RETURN Ekadasi Rath Yatra”
Please accept our humble obeisance.
All glories to Sri Guru and Sri Gauranga.

Following the events of this July 11, a little past 1 pm, I went to the terrace to take my Ekadasi prasadam. The servants were taking their turns and the servant who was with GM needed help, so Daresha suggested I go to get help. Guru Maharaj was getting ready to go to the place where the Coaches depart with Jagannath Subadra Baladeva to return to their temple, as I mentioned in one of the last reports, it is known as ISKCON Jagannath Temple, which is relatively nearby. A devotee of Iran has been helping us from Kolkata.
