Message from Guru Maharaja

Dear Diksa, Siksa, Shelter, Aspiring disciples and wellwishers,

Please accept my blessings and good wishes. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!

My office in Mayapur, commonly known as “JPS Office”, was set up mainly
to facilitate my disciples (diksa, siksa, shelter and aspiring) and
wellwishers to assist me in my service to Srila Prabhupada and for me to
help them to progress well in their Krishna consciousness.

I want to inform all of you that since I am no longer traveling extensively
due to my health condition, I wish to step up the activities of my office
at Mayapur. We want to especially increase communication.

HH Jayapataka Swami, (life story)

HH Jayapataka Swami.

By Tusti Mohan Krsna das.

The success of His Divine Grace Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in
spreading Krsna Consciousness around the world starting from North America
basically is definitely an amazing achievement for a great personality
empowered by the Lord Himself  to fulfill an almost impossible mission in
Kali Yuga in a very short time, but this success of Srila Prabhupada is also
because of the inspiration that His Divine Grace have given to young people
in the western societies during a very important  era in the 20th century
full of conflicts and transformation. Among these young people inspired by
Srila Prabhupada to carry on this task, is His Holiness Jayapataka Swami
that in 1968 surrendered totally to His Spiritual Master Srila A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada and to Sri Sri GaurNitai, the most merciful
incarnations of the Lord Himself in this era.

Srila Prabhupada: “I went to your country with a mission & you all good
souls were sent by Krishna to me.”

Caitanya Lila – Day2 -transcript- must read

(transcribed by HG Jayaraseswari mataji)

GURU MAHARAJ LECTURE ON CAITANYA LILA DAY2-  16 MARCH 2011 IN SRI DHAM
MAYAPUR

Kirtan…
Yesterday we discussed about Srivas. Today we are going to discuss about
Gadadhara Pandit and tomorrow Advaita. Tomorrow we are going to Shantipur.
..
….I am studying poetry. Lord Caitanya said, oh you are reading poetry, let
us
hear some poetry. Ha! Ha! Then Gadadhara composed some poetry and Nimai
Pandit
said , well what are the characters of liberations? Or tell us something
about
liberation. So he said, well you have to suffer first and then only you can
get
liberation and he quoted some verse and Lord Caitanya He said that is not
real
liberation and told him like you go should go back home study again and I
will
see you tomorrow. And like this every day He was defeating him. He is the
Lord
of Saraswati the goddess of learning, so naturally He would defeat everyone.
Later when He took initiation in Gaya, He came back and He was a devotee and
from that time this Gadadhara joined His sankirtan party and  Pundarik
Vidhyanidhi was there. So Lord Caitanya, He would call out: Pundarik!
Pundarik!
Pundarik! And devotees thought that well, He is just calling the name of
Lord
Vishnu.

Transcript of Caitanya Lila -Day 1 – 15 MARCH 2011,Mayapur

CAITANYA LILA DAY 1 –  15 MARCH 2011 IN SRIDHAM MAYAPUR

(transcribed by HG Jayaraseswari mataji)
We offer tarpana for Bhismadev in the Ganges. He was a brahmachari since his
birth and did not marry and he had no children to do his tarpana, so we all
accept to do for him because he was a pure devotee of the Lord. Of course
you
could say that he doesn’t need it but it is to our benefit to do it.
So there is one story from the Padma Purana, there was this devotee and he
would go everyday to the Ganges and there he would bathe, recite his
Gayatri,
offer prayers  and then take a bucket home and give to his wife and
children.
So this was his daily practice. He was a great devotee of the Ganges.
Actually
Prabhupad said that he wanted to go every day to the Ganges and that if he
could do that it could extend his life. At that time the Ganges was far away
and there were many properties on the way. We were trying to buy all the
properties but it was very difficult. Now the Ganges is very close. So, it
is
easy now but at that time it wasn’t. Prabhupad, he would say, as a child he
would go every day to the Ganges by the Howrah bridge.

Navadwip Mandala Parikrama Day 6 Part 1 (13/3/11)

Navadvip Mandala Parikrama-day 6(13th March 2011)  Today is the 6th day of
our parikrama.Since the last 5 days many devotees in Mayapur have been
hearing how ecstatic it is visiting all the 4 parikrama parties everyday.
This morning we had about forty devotees following Guru Maharaja on his car
parikrama. We had devotees from Sweden, Ecuador, Russia, Switzerland and
Spain following Guru Maharaja in six vehicles. Looks like Guru Maharaja’s
party had become the fifth parikrama party! Though ours was the smallest,
yet it was the fastest Parikrama party!  Our first party to be visited for
this morning was the International party at Simantini. This was the same
place where we met the Russian party yesterday morning.

Navadwip Mandala Parikrama Day 5 (12-03-11)

Today is the 5th day of the Navadwip Mandala Parikrama. It is so ecstatic to
be in the Parikrama, to immerse in hearing the transcendental pastimes of
Sri Mahaprabhu, sitting in the very same place where these pastimes took
place,chanting and singing the holy names, walking in the dust of dhama, to
take bath in the holy Ganga and be in the association of devotees. We really
look forward to go on this special parikrama every morning. For us (the
servants) it is special because we get to go along with Guru Maharaja and
get to visit all the four parikrama groups everyday. Guru Maharaja had the
darshan of Their Lordships and departed from Iskcon Mayapur at 7.30am. It
was a breezy and sober morning after the stormy night. We headed towards
Simantini to meet the Russian Party but they had not reached yet.
