So I'm very sad to report that today is the disappearance today of my beloved senior godbrother, His Holiness Gopak Krishnamurta.

So in lamentation, in separation, I want to sing this bhajan.

I don't know if you know the lyrics but I can do a solo.

Jaya nilo prema jana karuna pachu He na prabhu kota gela sadam taku Ta ku.

Kaha mora bhagta jugha Kaha kabhirat Kaha mora bhagta jugha Kaha kabhirat Ka ka le raaj E ka ka le khota Gela gora nata raaj E ka ka le khota Gela gora nata raaj Eka kaal eko cha gela gora nata gaan Pashaan eku tiba naa taa Annal e patibaa Pashaan eku tiba naa taa Pasha ne kutibonata anale paibon Pasha ne kutila mata anale paibon Anale Pashibho Goranga Gunera Niji Kota Dela Pabon Goranga Gunera Niji Kota Dela Pabon Garanga ga nera deshi, kota jay le tapa Seta bhag chandira sanghe, jay khora pila Sita ga tsaangirat pange jay kholabhila Sita ga tsaangirat pange jay kholabhila Sita ga na phaya khande namo tamadha Jai Thangamabaiya Kande Narottamakam.

This is He who brought the treasure of divine love and who was filled with compassion and mercy, where has such a personality of Shri Nila's Acharya come from?

Where am I to root Damodar and Rupa Goswami?

Where did Lord Duranga, the great dancer, suddenly go?

I will smash my head against the rock and enter in the fire.

Where will I find Lord Duranga, the breeder of all wonderful qualities, being unable to attain the association of Lord Duranga, accompanied by all of these devotees in whom association he performed his pastimes?

a statement from the Governing Body Commission.

Dear friends, my wishes and devotees of this come.

All glories to Srila Prabhupada this morning at 920 IST.

The most loving devotee, sincerely chanting the Hare Krishna Mantra.

His Holiness Gopaka, His Holiness Gopaka Krishna Goswami, 1 of the senior most disciples of the Divine Grace, Desi Bhakirana Swami, part of this world.

Maharaj is a pillar of the International Society for Krishna Consciousness, and he has served tirelessly in practically every leadership capacity to support and expand the mission of the spiritual master.

Even before his first meeting with Srila Prabhupada in Montreal, Canada in 1968, Maharaj, known as Gopak Krishna from his very birth, was given the service of cleaning and preparing Srila Prabhupada's rooms for his arrival.

Since then Maharaj has literally and stiguently dedicated his life for keeping Shilpa Baba's house in order.

Shilpa Baba immediately took great interest in the thoughtful young Indian man who was highly Indian and jolly in those days also.

But he was 1 young Indian man who was very serious about becoming Krishna conscious.

Shri Baban immediately took interest in the thoughtful young Indian man who sat at 10 of the few every lecture and they soon began regularly correspondence.

So we can read that in the Veda base also, the letters to Gopal Krishna.

Soon thereafter, Srila Bhava initiated Maharaj's Gopal Krishna Das and thus began a lifetime of service beyond compare.

Maharaj served for years as Srila Bhava's personal secretary and was appointed by Shri Baba as the governing body commissioner in 1975 with the responsibility to oversee all of this gone India.

Shri Baba therefore entrusted Maharaj with the task so dear to his heart, the printing of his transcendental books.

From that time Maharaj has been in an endless book distribution, sharing in the Christian consciousness building beautiful temples and managing the international affairs of Sri Lankan Baba's mission, all while remaining a gentle, humble bhaishnav who is always at a moment to encourage others with his gentle care and affection.

In addition, Maharaj Sadhran is impeccable, often on the temple altar, offering Mangal Aarti of the Deities before completing the morning program.

Guru Maharaj Ji was explaining to me, he was very, very ill, that he would come to Papad's Mangalakirti in Vrindavan.

He would come to the Samadhi Mangalakirti and then he would leave in the middle of the go, get ready to go on the altar for Krishna Balaram, my Lord.

He was very, very ill, but he was still doing the deity worship.

I was also with him recently at the GBC Sanyasi Gurusangha in Mayapur.

I was attending with him and I was right there with him actually, very close to him physically.

He could not walk but he had a motorized vehicle because we were up on a very high floor and there was no elevator, a very high floor there.

So they had a motorized vehicle to travel and they'd take him up and down to the meeting.

So even though he couldn't walk, he was taking the motorized vehicle to attend the meetings.

Maharaj asada is impeccable, often in the temple altar, offering model aachis and deities before completing the morning program, taking a japa walk, and then worshipping his own deities prior to commencing his full day of dynamic service.

His Holiness Gopalakrishan personifies all that is the heart of this kind and remains eternally revered and loved for his madless service, dedication, and expertise in knowing and serving Shri Siddhartha Baba's will.

We can only pray that we may be each blessed by the drop of such courage, focus, and sincerity to serve though never will the void of his physical presence be filled in our hearts and our society.

Our hearts and heads remain as the seed of this holy Gopal Krishna Goswami Maharaj, a most exemplary disciple, devotee, God-brother, and spiritual master and friend.

Maharaj has always encouraged us to work together cooperatively, to support and support each other and to see the path of service.

In that mood of service, we offer affectionate prayers and support to Maharaj disciples and all those bereft of Maharaj absence.

We encourage you to take shelter of Maharaj instructions, an example of focused silence and service in the association of our spiritual family.

It's also very sad I got an email from somebody who was spying on his disciple, and now they've missed the opportunity to become initiated by him.

I haven't decided how to answer them, but they've diswritten me.

They're very sad their grandma is departed.

They were spying for addiction, now they can't have it.

And now there's another announcement from the health care team.

Maharajas, Prabhujis and Madhijis, Kaya Om Lichyali, Lepervishnu, Paramahamsa, Pradipa, Jnaka, Charitra, Asvatthata, Siddhi, Srimad, Sita, Gopal, Krishna, Maharaj, Keejai.

With our hearts welcome, reconciled to Krishna's plan, we seek to announce the official departure of Sita Gopal Krishna Maharaj and his auspicious entry into the eternal pastimes of Shri Sri Radhapara Sakti, Shri Sri Gurnatai, Shri Sri Sita Ram Lakshmana Panaman and Shri Sri Lakshmana Mayam.

He was in some, his body will be taken to Delhi and then to Sri Vrindavan.

He was in the Haradun, Dehradun, and now they're taking his...

Now it's basically taking him, that means that now his body is a deity.

Even though he departed, just like we have a deity, a prasad, a dhava is present in the deity, so even in that mortal, even in that body, he is still present as a deity form, taking him to Vindali and then to Vrindavan.

So, and then there's the last, he actually came down with COVID-19 that was part of it.

And he had heart attacks and all kinds of things, his organs were going bad, very, very bad situation.

So Now we can have a regular Bhagwattham, please.

So I can take the bed down better than me.

Translation and purport by Sheila Bababud.

The King of the Yama is complied after much consideration.

Actually, as far as everyone is concerned, you are inauspicious and mischievous.

Since no 1 likes you, how can anybody accept you as his wife?

After much consideration, the king of the Yaman has decided to make the best use of the bad bargain.

Kala Kanya was a bad bargain and no 1 liked her, but everything can be used for the servants of the Lord.

Thus the king of the Yaman is trying to utilize her for some purpose.

The purpose has already been explained that in Kalakanya, the invalidity of old death, the invalidity of old age can be used to arouse a sense of fear in people so they may prepare for the next life by engaging in Krishna consciousness.

More and more things going wrong with the body.

I said, well, I don't want to bore you with a long list how your health is.

The old age means 123A whole stack of things, a big stack of problems.

This problem, that problem, somebody's problem, problem, problem.

Well, I'm doing great because I'm remembering Krishna.

You can reinforce your understanding of not this body.

I'm doing fine, but this body is falling apart.

So it's very important to be Krishna conscious.

We see the old people, they look miserable, isn't it?

The old senior citizens, they look horrible looks on their faces, but not a devotee.

A devotee looks ecstatic even when he's getting ready to leave his body.

So, it's a very, all these are great blessings, as they're saying, every cloud has a silver lining.

So, all these are certainly clouds, but it has a silver lining of A reminder that this is not really you.

You're actually an eternal spiritual being, qualitatively 1 with the Lord.

You have to understand you're not a little kid.

You're an eternal spiritual being, qualitatively 1 with the Lord.

The old senior citizens here, the middle-aged and the kids, we're all the same age.

I'm a youngster, I'm an oldster, and a middle-agedster.

So the point is how do we revive our original natural state of consciousness which is known as Krishna consciousness, Jehovah consciousness, Christ consciousness, Allah consciousness, Adonai consciousness, according to your pathway, it has different names but the same principle is there.

This is the science of re-envying your visual, enlightened consciousness.

We're teaching how to Conquer Death, but actually most people are not even interested in that.

You say, well, we have a special seminar on how to conquer death.

There's so much deluded by I can enjoy, I can enjoy.

Everybody is being dragged to the Court of Young Mirage.

It's a horrible thing to be dragged to the court of government.

Everybody, we have billions and billions of people being, they're getting ready to be dragged, they're already shackled in the ball and chain of sickness in old age.

They're already shackled in these chains, getting ready to be ripped by the armadudas out of their body and dragged to the hell.

We offer a solution, not even interested.

They don't realize that we have a solution for all their problems.

I don't like my spouse and either a new wife or a new husband or whatever, you know.

I need to make better grades in school or whatever.

They don't understand what the real problem of life is.

This is the great sadness of our modern civilization.

They have absolutely no idea what is the real problem of life, isn't it?

So our movement is to revive their understanding of what is the real problem of life.

We even tell them we have a seminar on deathlessness and how many people show up, nobody against them.

How to make a million dollars, they all come.

How to make a million dollars on the shoestring budget, we'll get thousands of people to come.

I guarantee you, special seminar down at the hotel, advertised all over us on the billboards, the place

How to make a million dollars on a shoestring budget will get thousands of people to come.

Special seminar down at the hotel, advertised all

How to make a million dollars on a shoestring budget.

Oh, yes, a million dollars on a shoestring budget, but how to conquer debt?

So just see the looted, see how isn't they, aren't they deluded?

They're so deluded, a million dollars is very attractive, but debtlessness, no.

If they want to go to hell, that's their business.

Yad yad atarashish tey sthattat tadey vey taryo jina Sayat pramanam gurutey loka sthadna nivartatey Whatever a great man does, the common people follow him.

His footsteps, whatever standard he sets by example of the acts, all the world pursues.

So this is the insider secret, my devotees, isn't it?

If we simply become ideal examples of Krishna consciousness, that's the way to attract him.

He had no money, he had no big advertising account with the billboards, or In those days it was TV and radio, there was no internet.

He had no big advertising budgets to promote his movement.

All he had was a pair of cartels and sincere devotion.

Actually millions of people became attracted to Caldwell.

So now the classes, maybe we should end the class now.

If they want to help us, we'll teach them how to keep the cows peaceful and happy.

The cows know they're not going to be slaughtered.

They know they're going to be slaughtered, and the milk is not so good.

So tell them if you can protect these cows, the quality of milk will be improved greatly.

We're going to end the class shortly today, because the days are Sunday Feast program, we're going to get ready for them.

Why do devotees have problems when they are old?
