Jai Gurudeva!

"The new favorable contacts we make are like an uncut diamond. It is valuable, but its true value only becomes realized when it is cut and polished.

That process is like the cultivation of the new people and building the relationships with them. Finally when the gem is fully cut and polished it becomes so Valuable.

That is when the devotees are more fully developed in their Krishna Consciousness and ready to take up temple service or serve in a Nama Hatta Bhakti Vrksa group (cell)."

  • ** Prayer Marathon for HH Jayapataka Swami **
    MESSAGE FROM HG Gaura Nandini DD

    Dear Godsisters, Godbrothers, Friends and Well-wishers,
    Please accept my most loving obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada!All glories to Guru Maharaja! All glories to all of you wonderful people!

    Sarva Sakti Mataji, who is in Los Angeles with Guru Maharaja had a wonderful idea of starting a "Prayer Marathon" for quick and successful recovery of our beloved Guru Maharaja Jayapataka Swami.As you all know Guru Maharaja is right now in LA working very hard on his recovery, going everyday to the therapy.

    This is an opportunity for all of us to come together and do some extra service, extra prayers and in this way be connect with Guru Maharaja and in a humble way support His process of physical recovery. Guru Maharaja would often say that the duty of a disciple is to take care after the body of a spiritual master as the spiritual master is always busy with taking care after his disciples. The power of united prayers are enormous and very moving...and appreciated by Krsna and Spiritual Masters. So please join this prayer campaign... which is starting NOW and is to last until Gaura Purnima 2010, when we will officially offer the results to Guru Maharaja.

    What can be done?- extra japa rounds- bhajans events -reiki sessions-Yajnas- inform as much devotees as possible about this prayer marathon-and most important: personal prayers.

    The goal of all prayers should be a humble request for Guru Maharaja's fast recovery so He would be able to WALK again.

    Proposal of the prayer:
    "Please Dear Sri Sri Gaura-Nitai and Srila Prabhupada, if you wish, kindly grant our beloved Guru Maharaja, your devoted servant His Holiness Jayapataka Swami, the capacity to walk again so he can continue with Your mission of spreading Krishna Consciousness all over the world"

    Please, keep a record of all activities, extra rounds, prayers, realizations. .. and please send a little report to this address:gaura- nandini@hotmail. com or even better: share them with all of us on Facebook page 'Praying for HH Jayapataka Swami'.


    If anyone of you have an idea how to improve or increase this wonderful campaign... please let me know as soon as possible!

    With admiration and love,
    your servant,

    Gaura Nandini devi dasi

  • Emulate Coconut-Palm Trees!




    "Srila Prabhupada said in Krishna consciousness we need to emulate the Coconut or Palm trees which can bend under the stormy weather, but after the wind stops they bounce back upright. Stiff big trees often get blown over.



    So please tolerate all kinds of difficulties and remain fixed in your Krishna Consciousness no matter what kinds of tests come. Always try to serve Guru & Gauranga under all circumstances."

Different effects of chanting japa with various fingers

Dear devotees, Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Sri Guru and Gauranga!All glories to Srila Prabhupada! I heard a lecture recording by His Holiness Jayapataka Maharaja.  During the question and answer session, a devotee asked why we chant japa with the middle finger.   Maharaja replied that he had been doing some research into this issue for a book, and had found a scriptural reference for this that is as follows: By chanting with the first finger you can curse someone. By…

HH Jayapataka Swami is an eternal associate of Lord Chaitanya.

For Circulation amongst God brothers & aspiring disciples & well wishers,I have always heard devotees saying that Srila Prabhupada had mentioned something about the divinity of our beloved Guru Maharaja as an eternal associate of Lord Chaitanya. I had searched through the vedabase and other sources but could not find any quote to this effect. But once I chanced upon one of the transcribed lectures that he gave in Chowpatty during 2010 Damodar Month inauguration program. I got what I was looking…
