Hare Krishna, humble obeisances AGTSP
Since the day I heard, HH Jayapataka Swami was arriving in UAE, Middle East, I was filled with anticipation to have His darshan. I was desperately waiting to Him. But ofcourse it would be hard to get a close darshan of HH in the crown of many more 1000 devotees. So what to do? Also i wanted special mercy from Him, how could that be possibel? Then I wrote down a poem in glorifying Him (ofcourse, I ain't eligible to glorify such a great and pure devotee) hoped that just to give this poem to HH I can also close darshan of Him :)
But when the day arrived, I wasn't certain that I'll be going to the darshan program :( I felt really bad. But by Krishna and devotees mercy, all of a sudden I came to know we was going to meet Maharaj. Finally my dream will come true!
When I reach there, there were already so may people, so I had to sit at the back. So I could hardly see HH. And also because Maharaj's physical health is not very good, He was carried by devotees, so again I couldn't see Him. Also when the opportunity was given to have HH's darshan, all the devotees rushed like something and I was about the be smashed in that crowd and again i couldn't have His darshan! :(
But Krishna is merciful, when u really have a spiritual desire, He'll make it fulfil. So as I wrote a poem, I asked a senior devotee, how shall I give it to HH and he took me to the stage and there I gave my poem to the personal assistant of Maharaj and had His most close dashan!! So my desire was fulfilled!!
So all the wonderful devotees, who are facing obstacles in their spiritual life, I would say, please keep working and desire more to serve Krishna, as all the spiritual desires come true! Haribol!
I request devotees to share similar experiences.
Your servant

Yes, I guess now He even left Damodaresh (Dubai). Even here also He was giving blessings to devotees with the touch of the tooth brush of Jagannatha, I never knew it was a tooth brush, I thought it to be a peacock fan :D
Very nice! that you all got His personal association. And yea IDT devotees are doing excellent service (esp. Vaishnava sevak prabhu). Glories to them (including yourself) Haribol!
Your aspiring servant
i told this story not because of getting some glorification but saying "to us" i meant all of us here on IDT no matter we are guests, visitors, blog writers, poem writers, editors.... no matter.
Maharaj, requested all Devotees around the world to take seriously this internet preaching as well as outline preaching.
So let's tighten our belts and share what we got!
Your servant,
Hare Krishna
I don't really get u. Pls forgive if any of my words were offensive or annoying, no such intention. I meant the same, all the devotees on IDT not only the ones who are in office and sits infront of the net system for late night. I mentioned Vaishnav sevak das prabhu's name not to indicate that. I again apologize for any offense.
Your aspiring servant
No, No dear Mataji, You did not do any offense. Who said that? :)
Your servant,
No, I just felt my words offended you. Anyway if not then thankyou, I was quite upset that I hurted you. :)
Your aspiring servant
Jai Jai HH Jayapataka Maharaja is already in Dubai?!!!!
Just few days back he visited Bhaktivedanta Hospital in Mumbai and Vaishnava Seva Prabhu took all IDT stuff to him to have his personal darshan. :D
Maharaja, ordered all of us to increase our service and to take it very seriously. He told that on line preaching in these days is very powerful.
And he thanked all those Devotees who do this service.
And in the end he took the tooth brush of Lord Jagannath and touched with that to our heads :) he he
He is very merciful. You are very fortunate dear Priya Mataji, to have such like a Father!
Yes, You are right when we have selfless desires, desires connected with Krishna and Devotees and service to them then Krishna fulfills them. Because when we have such like desires it means we are in the spiritual world and there are desire trees in spiritual worlds which fulfill all the desires.
I got this realization, by the mercy of Devotees and the Holy Dham Mayapur, to some tiny extent.
Thank You for sharing with Your story!
