Today, here in Mayapur, we celebrated the 1st Disappearance Anniversary of H.H. Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj.
It feels like it was only yesterday that we were struck by the news of Maharaj's departure — a moment we weren’t prepared for. Yet, isn't it so remarkable how Krishna has His perfect timing in calling back His dear devotees?
Maharaj’s life is a shining example of how a true Vaishnava should live. Anyone who visited Mayapur would often see Maharaj attending Mangal Arati — whether at the Sri Narasimhadeva altar, Pancha Tattva, or Sri Sri Radha Madhava's altar — regardless of the challenges Maharaj faced with his health.
During major festivals, especially Gaura Purnima, Maharaj would always make the effort to be present among us, embodying the true spirit of a Vaishnava by his humble and devoted lifestyle.
This year’s Gaura Purnima felt very different without Maharaj physically present. Yet, deep in our hearts, we know he is still keeping an eye on all of us, guiding us silently. We pray that we can genuinely imbibe his glorious example in our own lives.
