HH Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj (GM) has been having a starched out
schedule since the ILS.
Yesterday he came back from Parikrama and kept meeting the devotees from
various yatras until the late night.

GM left the temple at 8.30 Am but as we reached the Srila Prabhupada’s
bhajan kutir, we were informed on the state wide strike in West Bengal and
one of our van’s carrying prasdam for the parikrama devotees was stopped by
the protestors. Hence, a police escort was arranged after 30 minutes of
waiting.

Guru Maharaj (GM) has been having a starched out schedule since the ILS.Yesterday he came back from Parikrama and kept meeting the devotees from various yatras until the late night.

GM left the temple at 8.30 am but as we reached the Srila Prabhupada’s
bhajan kutir, we were informed on the state wide strike in West Bengal and one of our van’s carrying prasdam for the parikrama devotees was stopped by the protestors. Hence, a police escort was arranged after 30 minutes of waiting.

GM headed of straight to the International group who were to be meet at Panca Veni, but as we reached there we found out that they hadn’t reached yet, so off GM went to the Hindi group who had camped at Pratapnagar.

The Hindi party have a long journey today they would cross Ganga and goto Shankarpur . This group was being led by H.H Radha Raman Maharaj and H.H Rama Govinda Maharaj.

Mayapur Parikrama Day 2 , 27th February, 2012.

Today is the second take of the Parikrama. We started a bit late from the
temple and headed to the Russian party. But after the (bumpy!) ride when we
reached Naimisarnya where GM was supposed to speak to the Russian party, we
saw that they haSukad mSoved ahead and were on their way to Panca Veni.

H.H. Bhakti Chaitanya Maharaj saw GM entering and greeted him. So, GM
decided to goto the International party who were having darshan at
Gauradaha which is only 10-15 min drive from Naimisaranya.

Dear God-brothers / God-sisters,

Hare Krishna! Please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila
Prabhupada. All glories to Srila Gurudev.

Following a short update below on Srila Gurudev`s health and activities in
the past few weeks, there are two requests addressed to your goodself.

Guru Maharaj has been very active in Mayapur. As you may already know that
the ILS (International Leadership Sanga) of ISKCON was held for the first
time in Mayapur Dhama between the 10th – 17th Feb 2012. Gurudev actively
participated in the ILS sessions. Many leaders across the globe participated
in the ILS. The ILS meetings and seminars inspired all the participants.
