Dandavats Vaishanavas,PAMHO. AGTSP.(Pls mind the "tense" (past/present) in the blog as it was written during the same time.The wheather in the capital as you all must be reading or hearingabout is freezing. It has created quite a brouhaha in the city. We hada downpour on the 3rd of Jan with almost zero visibility in themorning hours. Amidst all this maelstrom, chaos and confusion thecapital had the great fortune of receiving a very special guest on 4thof Jan 2010.... Srila Radhanath Swami. Maharaj landed at the IGIAirport at around noon time. Maharaj has come to launch hisAutobiography in Hindi (named :- Anokha Safar).The stage was all set. His Holiness first met HonorablePresident of India Smt Pratibha Patil on 4th Jan. The chat was quiteenlivening as she asked a lot many questions to His Holiness on lifeand spirituality and needless to say which were appositely respondedby His Holiness. Today morning Maharaj was supposed to give a SB Classat Gaursundar Prabhu's place (Maharaj is putting up there) but wascancelled due to his schedule for today which includes a meeting withHonorable CM of Delhi state Smt Sheila Dixit in the morning.Today evening Maharaj is giving class and meeting all the volunteerswho have worked for the book launch.Tomorrow noon there will be a Curtain Raiser for the book launch atThe Metropolitan, New Delhi. It will include all the Press people andimportant media personalities.Maharaj is also meeting the Lt Governor of Delhi state on 7th morning.On 6th Morning we had a SB Class given by HH Radhanath Swami Maharajat Gaursundar Prabhu's house.Maharaj quoted from his book the story of the eagle carrying the fishand he explained that how Maya also takes us out of our constitutionalposition and as soon as we are out of that we feel stressed,frustrated etc.Maharaj kept the class short as he had to leave for the PressConference scheduled later in the afternoon. We had some brief Q&ASession. At around 1 pm we had a press conference at The MetropolitanHotel (A Five star hotel). Close to 25 journalists from variousNewspapers and TV channels had come. Maharaj alongwith HG KrsnachandraPr and HG Vrajendranandan Pr (ISKCON Delhi Communication Director)spoke abt the book and the reporters asked various Q's to Maharaj andwere completely satisfied by Maharaj. They were given a free copy ofthe book - The Journey Home.We as volunteers got a rare chance to see our beloved GuruMaharaj glorifying his spiritual master Srila Prabhupada in his everyact although externally it may look like self praise. The best partfor us was when Srila Radhanath Swami agreed to take a picture withall the volunteers. That was really a special moment which will remainetched in my memory forever.On 7th Jan 2010 HH Radhanath Swami gave a SB Class at Sri SriRadha Parthasarthi Mandir and i can tell you although a working daythe temple was packed with devotees. Maharaj spoke on one of theverses from 6th Canto (Vrtrasura fighting with Lord Indra). Maharajemphasised on the point that externally in every sense Vrtrasura was ademon.. all the conditions around him were not conducive for perfomingKC but deep inside he was one of the most exhalted devotees of theLord.Maharaj spoke wonderfully about how a sadhaka should only aspirefor being the servant of the servant and nothing else.Later in his class he wonderfully glorified HH Gopala KrsnaGoswami for taking the instruction of Prabhupada to his heart anddistributing so many books. This marathon Delhi temples distributedclose to 5,00,000 BGs in one single month.In the evening Maharaj launched the book "Anokha Safar" amidst all thedigniteries who had come to witness the event. The function was wellattended by over 300 guests..most of them VIPs and some VVIPs. Afterthe book launch there was a cultural program which was everyoneenjoyed. Every guest remained till the whole program. The highlight ofthe program for me was to get the book directly autographed fromMaharaj. He sat there patiently for everyone and signing each andevery book. He sat there for about two hours signing each book and letme tell he was not just signing but writing the names of the peoplewith his best wishes. It was incredible. All Glories to SrilaRadhanath Swami.Hope you enjoyed this short journey...... Thank you everyone fortaking out your time to read this. Although its not full of mistakesand prone to human error but as these words glorify a pure Vaishnavasaint they are like nectar to the ear of the devotees/swans like youall.
