Guru Maharaj’s Mayapur Parikrama Day 7

3rd March 2012

Today is the last day of the Parikrama and all the groups would make it
back to the temple by afternoon. GM left the temple at 8 AM and headed to
Yogapith where the Hindi party were taking Darshan. After greeting the
Deities, GM spoke and thanked H.H. Radha Raman Maharaj for leading the
group and informed them of the Maha Milan (Where all the 4 groups would
meet), being held close by.

GM said Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur predicted that a day who come when
devotees from different parts of the world would come together in Mayapur
and chant together “Gauranga, Gauranga” and would embrace each other. Gm
then said the Vaishnavas should embrace each other and all the Vaishnavis
should embrace each other.

From here GM left for Srivas Anangan, here described the importance of the
place. Here Lord Chaitanya would daily have his nocturnal Kirtans. GM
further described the qualities of Srila Srivas Thakur using the past time
of Chapal Gopal who out of envy, wanted to defame Srivas Thakur and painted
his door with blood and other obnoxious things. But Chapal Gopal very
shortly became leprosy stricken. And even Lord Chaitanya refused to deliver
him as he had offended his devotee.

Only when Srivas Thakur showed his mercy on him did Lord Chaitanya accept
him.

From here all the different parties congregated at a pandal and GM
distributed every single devotee prasadam which took little more than 2
hours.

GM came back to the temple in noon and headed for darshan.
