On 7th December 2024: Saturday Morning Bhagavatam class, and also today is Odana-sasthi, so Jaya Radha Krishna Prabhu read from the Caitanya-caritamrta and Caitanya-Bhagavata about the Odana-sasthi pastime related to Pundarika Vidyanidhi. Guru Maharaja explained very nicely this pastime along with Srimad-Bhagavatam verse selected for today. And after Bhagavatam class, it was scheduled a meeting with Ananda Tirtha Prabhu (GBC Secretary) and Radha Sundari Mataji to present their son Vraja Mohana's new game product called, "Every Town and Village" this game is a board game, like business game, Vraja Mohana explained to Guru Maharaja. And Guru Maharaja asked different questions. And blessed them, Maha Varaha Prabhu gave 1500 Rs and purchased the game on behalf of Guru Maharaja to encourage the kid. Even though, they wanted to gift to Guru Maharaja, but he wanted to purchase it. And Guru Maharaja asked Vraja Mohana's sister, "Do you also make games?" She said, "No! I play games!" And everyone laughed. Then Guru Maharaja said to me, "Now you got a competitor!" I said, "Guru Maharaja we need thousands of games and we have millions of kids, who are eagerly waiting for these games!"
After the family left, Guru Maharaja gave a Zoom darsana to far east coutries, somehow the Australia, Malaysia and Singapore countries are getting special mercy every Saturday, other parts of the world are not getting this Zoom darsana. Then Guru Maharaja met over Zoom with Ranga Krishna Prabhu and family, regarding their son Tulasi Prema Krishna dasa's marriage, and the girl Syama Vraja-sevini Devi Dasi, and their parents joined and got the blessings, and invited Guru Maharaja for their marriage.
Maha Varaha Prabhu said, if we can short the Co-directors meeting for one hour, then we can go to Rajapur and take darsana of Lord Jagannatha as they have a special darsana of Odana-sasthi, so we can leave from here by 12 and come back by 1pm. Guru Maharaja said, why not now? Let me go by 10am and come back by 11am for the meeting. So this was a sudden decision, so Maha Varaha Prabhu rushed to get the car and make the arrangements to go to Rajapur.
At that time, Rasapriya Gopika Devi Dasi (my sister) and I, put up the Panca-krosa game and showed and explained to Guru Maharaja, and how the game play works - Guru Maharaja was happy, and went through all the places. Also this year the Panca-krosa parikrama going to be on 26th December - but the discussion is still going on. Guru Maharaja said, very nice! Then I explained about the desire of Caitanya-rupa Mataji to make this game virtually in 3D game, so that devotees could join from different parts of the world - as Guru Maharaja said, previously, they can take their avatars as Russians, Indian, Africans, Americans, and take part in the parikrama and hug each other and chant, "Jaya Sacinandana! Jaya Sacinandana!" we have to do a programming that only male avatara could hug another male avatara, and female avatara hugs female avatara! After blessing us, Guru Maharaja left to Rajapur temple. And I stayed back to setup the co-directors meeting.
Guru Maharaja had very quick darsana and returned back with Jagannatha's kitchudi prasadam, and said to the cooks that during lunch Guru Maharaja will take Lord Jagannatha's prasadam. Then 11:05 am he joined the meeting. Vraja Vilasa Prabhu was there, and Guru Maharaja as soon as he saw him, he said, bring ice-cream for him. As he likes ice-cream, and Guru Maharaja wants always to feed him ice-cream - whenever he comes to rooftop for a meeting.
In the evening Maha Varaha Prabhu called me and said, there will be a meeting with Damana Krishna Prabhu, so he asked me to come and join. And I rushed to lotus, and Guru Maharaja just completed his pre-dinner and was going to take shower, so I was explaining him or reminding him about why we are meeting with Damana Krishna Prabhu today. While the servants giving shower, the googles were slightly lose, and when they were pouring the Ganga water, it went into his left eye. Even though the left eye was taped or sealed with a special plaster, still it went it, and Guru Maharaja started to shout that, it is hurting! And Srivasa Prana Prabhu immediately opened and cleaned and put eye drops. Then coming out of the bathroom, they started to put the new patch. So, I took the book from Guru Maharaja's library - Sri Navadvipa dhama Mahatmya, and just randomly opened a page, and it was chapter 15 Vaikunthapur, I was really surprised - because the meeting is about Vaikunthapur only. Then I started to read out loud for Guru Maharaja, he was listening to it, and he became very much ecstatic and started to shout, "Gauranga! Gauranga! Gauranga!"
Our Guru Maharaja is like Pundarika Vidyanidhi, within a minute he will enter into the ecstasy, just by hearing about Lord Gauranga!
Just to recap the background: when we were in Delhi this year, Guru Maharaja was in ILBS Hospital, and he had a dream or he did a parikrama in his samadhi over Sri Navadvipa mandala, and he visited Vaikunthapur, and different places. This Vaikunthapur is non-different from Tirupati. Guru Maharaja explained it to Maha Varaha Prabhu, and I was also there and this was published in Guru Maharaja's App. And, we were also searching for this place. At that time, Damana Krishna Prabhu, Guru Maharaja's one of the previous secretary, and a very mystical disciple of Guru Maharaja, we can say very special disciple. He sent a message to Maha Varaha Prabhu that, "I don't know - whether there is a connection or coincidence, I got a Deity of Balaji in Sri Mayapur dhama, about 10 feet high. And I would like to give this Deity for Vaikunthapur temple." And this was really shocking.
And, now we are meeting after 7 months to discuss about this Vaikunthapur and his Deity. I went to search for this Vaikunthapur in Modadrumadvipa along with Subala Sudama Prabhu, and more or less we located a location, but it needs to be confirmed. Then today the discussion was very deep. While this discussion was going on Aksaya Ramacandra Prabhu entered and said, "Two years ago Revati Ramana Prabhu (ISKCON Tirupati) temple president said, I will take up this responsibility to construct a temple of Balaji in Sri Navadvipa mandala, as Guru Maharaja showed me some place and said, here we have to make a temple for Balaji." Then Guru Maharaja said, "We have a person to make the temple, and we have person who got the Deity ready! Just we have to locate the exact place!"
I said, like Jagannatha dasa Babaji Maharaja found the hidden place of Mahaprabhu's birthplace, you have to reveal to us, where is this Vaikunthapur? Then Guru Maharaja started to narrate the pastime of how Bhaktivinoda Thakura got Jagannatha dasa Babaji Maharaja by basket and he was 113 years old! etc. Then we said, we will take you to the location and you can tell us where is Vaikunthapur! Guru Maharaja asked, "Who will carry me on a basket?" I said, "We have a KIA Car, we will carry you!" Then Guru Maharaja said, "That is Siddha Jagannatha dasa Babaji!" I said, "You are our only hope, who else can say!" Then it was decided that Maha Varaha Prabhu and I will go and see the Deity of Balaji and then if possible we will take Guru Maharaja to see the Deity. His Grace Jananivasa Prabhu also wanted to see the Deity.
Damana Krishna Prabhu showed Guru Maharaja that he got a honorary doctored from Europe. Then Guru Maharaja asked him, "So do I have to have call you henceforth as Dr. Damana Krishna?" He said, "I am always your servant!" Then Guru Maharaja gave his right and held Damana Krishna Prabhu's hand very tightly! Very special disciple! So in this way the Vaikunthapur chapter is now getting more focused! We pray and hope that, Tirupati temple will soon manifest in Sri Navadvipa mandala by the strong desire of our Guru Maharaja!
When we were discussing this with Guru Maharaja in bathroom, he said to Srivatsa Syamasundara Prabhu, so how much you can give for the Balaji temple? as he is a Telugu devotee. And Srivasa Prana Prabhu said, Srivatsa Prabhu can give one lakh! Then Guru Maharaja said, it is nothing! He can give 1 crore! and everyone laughed! Yes! This will be a big attraction as there is no South Indian stone temple in Bengal, we can say!
Like this every day there are something fabulous, miraculous, extraordinary things happening! And we are very happy to part of this wonderful pastimes, and witnessing sitting in the first row! This is the real fortune!
