Namo Om vishnupadaya Krishna presthaya bhutale
Srimate Jayapataka swami niti namine
Namoyo acharya padaio nitai kripa pradyina
Goura katha dham dai nagar gram tarine
Srila Guru Maharaj ki jai!
I don’t have any qualification or capacity to glorify Gurumaharaj. I am sharing few things that have given me a lot of inspirations in practicing Krishna consciousness. An acharya is who, who lives by his example. Guru Maharaj is a pefect in that respect. After the massive liver and kidney transplantation he had undergone, everyone thought that after this Guru Maharaj will be physically very weak and restrict his activities and it will take a very long time to recover. But by his will power his body takes everything so quickly and he is continuing his extensive preaching work. It seems that it has increased more and more. Previously it was very difficult to associate with him due to his extensive travelling. But see now he performed such a past time that everyone in any corner of the world can have his personal association almost every day. And asked their concerned so easily. He is giving so many discourses that sometimes we become tired of hearing than him speaking. Every disciple is taking so much advantage of it and cultivating their Krishna consciousness. The more we hear from spiritual master the more we can understand his heart. After some time of spiritual practice disciple should take the burden of spiritual master not to burden him.
There are many who sometime criticise for Guru Maharaj taking so many disciples and not taking care of their spiritual life .Progress in spiritual life is the responsibility of disciple not the spiritual master. But Guru Maharaj is so kind that he is providing all the facilities for us by involving us in his numerous projects of preaching, community building. And the system he has established in the form of Namahatta and bhakti Vriksha so that all can be taken care of their progress of spiritual life. Weekly JSSS meeting and broadcasting it all over the world gives us know what Gurumaharaj want, is that all his disciples should know first what are his burden in the fulfilling his missions to serve Srila Prabhupada and unitedly take his mission as their own.
It is really so inspiring that Guru Maharaj always remains concerned for the residents of Mayapur community. To facilitate them to stay in Mayapur he has developed so many projects like Mayapur community hospital development, up gradation of the bhaktivedanta national school, supplying purified water to the residents without any cost, etc. so the devotee community can stay peacefully. All the community devotees every day gets the opportunity to get his personal association to his rooftop class. These are all due to his concern for his disciple.
Guru Maharaj is so kind that he has given me opportunity to serve in one of his projects in developing for the wonderful devotees of Mayapur and for the devotees who come to Mayapur as a guest.
It's my humble pray to Sri Sri Narasingha dev that I can always remain in the consciousness of serving being an insignificant servant at the dust of the lotus feet of my spiritual father.
Hare Krishna
Your insignificant disciple
