Hare Krishna!
Dandvat Pranams!
Anadi Jagannath Prabhu is one of those amazing persons with whom any and every moment spent is memory and every memory is beautiful.
From the day I met him when Prabhu was a Bramhacari to the last day of online class, Prabhu was an amazing personality.
Always pleased and smiling which would automatically bring a smile in a person.
More than a decade back while working in an IT company in Bangalore, after having completed the work shift in the evening, while waiting for a cab, Prabhu asked me If I would want some Jagannath’s Prasadam. I said “Yes” and then Prabhu handed me a big heavy bag full of Lord Jagannath’s Khaja Prasad. Probably 5-7 KG or more. Prabhu had brought it for another person who that day didn’t come to office.
I expected it to be something which would be like regular Prasad for one person for one day.
So eventually I took some from it and rest we handed it over to another Mataji from Orissa.
Prabhu was like a wish fulfilling tree of devotional services for all devotees He met or knew.
If I think of Bangalore I certainly think of ISJM and when I think of ISJM I can’t think of not meeting Anadi Jagannath Prabhu.
They are inseparable.
Sometimes it is OK if we don’t meet very good friends for years because we know them to be our well-wishers and that they are there.
And that when ever we meet them again it will be as fresh as meeting them a few minutes back. Smiling and exchanging pleasantries.
But if that friend is a devotee and when we find that they have left the material world and we won’t be meeting them here then the very thought and every moment is very painful. Only the good memories from that precious association remain.
I would have liked to ask this question to Anadi Prabhu that this phenomenon of the material world is very strange.
If we don’t associate with devotees it is not good for spiritual advancement but if we associate with them then we certainly develop attachment to them. And if they leave then how can we achieve the state of equanimity and equipoised-ness which Lord Krishna want us to be in.
Anadi Jagannath Prabhu is one of the most compassionate, merciful persons one could have ever met in their life.
Prabhu never got upset or angry with any one. A good listener and would always lend helping hand to any devotee.
Always engaging everyone in devotional service. Always teaching by setting a perfect example. Prabhu Walked the Talk.
Always practicing and following the instructions of Guru, Sadhu and Shastras.
When ever you see Anadi Prabhu He was always absorbed in devotional service, day and night.
Teaching and preaching the message of Guru and Scriptures.
Prabhu started many programs, like Throwback Thursdays, Gita-Gyan Level 1, 2, and 3 and many more.
He would teach each and every new preacher all the details of the presentation slides. He would answer all the questions.
Giving Srimad Bhagvatam discourses in temple. Watching Prabhu gave immense pleasure.
To me it was surprising that everyday he would sleep late, giving class or preparing devotional presentation and yet wake up early in the morning for chanting or Gita-Gyan training sessions.
Prabhu is known to be enthusiastic in preaching and devising new ways to reach out to large number of people.
Prabhu was also a wonderful instructor for the Bhakti Shastri program. A good listener, always sweet in words and soft spoken, very pleasant person, and would eagerly answer any questions related to scriptures.
Like Srila Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj, Anadi Prabhu strongly believed in serving the mission of Guru and Gauranga.
He was a true Benchmark for practicing devotees.
Recently in the Bhakti Shastri Class on Wednesday, Anadi Prabhu mentioned that one needs to be in peace and harmony with everyone to practice pure devotional service. He said that else if one reaches Goloka and then quarrels with Manjiris then it would not be favourable for Goloka spiritual atmosphere.
Prabhu till the last minute was engaged in devotional service. He had delivered Prasadam to a devotee in hospital. After completing His Seva, Anadi prabhu left the material world and went to Goloka.
Last year I had met Prabhu for the Vrindavana and Kurukshetra Yatra and had blissful time there in association of Prabhu and other devotees.
I was looking forward to meet Prabhu in Vrindavana Yatra but Prabhu left for Goloka Vrindavana.
Anandi Jagannath Prabhu left the material world for the Spiritual world. He has taken a piece of my heart with Him and left a void here.
Now His Transcendental instructions and sweet voice from His wonderful association will always be here with me.
I remember Prabhu as an unconditional and true well wisher of mine.
Anadi Jagannath Prabhu is an irreplaceable role model of a pure devotee. Inspiration for all devotees.
I pray to Lotus Feet of Anadi Jagannath Prabhu that He remembers us all in Goloka Vrindavana and puts in a good word for us to the Lord.
All Glories to HG Anadi Jagannath PrabhuJi, All glories to Srila Jayapataka Swami Guru Maharaj, All Glories to Srila Prabhupad.
