Hare Krishna Dandavat Pranam.
All Glories to HDG Srila Prabhupad and Gurumaharaj.
I still can’t believe the untimely demise of HG Anaadi Jaganath Prabhu. We met him last Sunday evening program and blessed with his Jaganath pastime lecture. Had a very blissful Sankirthan, danced and jumped together singing the bhajans and keerthans. We also connected on Thursday on throwback Thursday program and were looking forward to meet him today evening during the Sunday evening program.
I first met HG Anaadi Jaganth Prabhu in ISKCON Sheshadripuram temple had a brief discussion and introduction. Later for various reasons, we did not meet for almost 5-6months, when we met again in temple, he remembered my name which made me feel very good. Such a senior devotee, meeting so many different devotees as well as engaged in multiple temple service, remembering an insignificant person like me made an instant connect within which can’t be explained.
Since then, I use to keep in touch with him for various temple programs and for clarifying my questions in this spiritual path. Every time I met him, I use to feel a divine experience, his humility, caring every devotee who visit temple, always smiling face and never dying attitude to serve Gurumaharaj and Srila Prabhupad always stood out and use to give me lot of inspiration.
Not sure why, today morning I thought of Anaadi Jaganath prabhu and wanted to discuss about Janmashtami celebrations when I meet him in the evening. I am really shocked to know and not able to come to terms that we will not meet him again in this material world. He is such a nice devotee, may be this material world is not for him. Only solace I am getting is, we all are struggling in this material world under the influence of material nature and trying get purified and qualified to go back home, may be HG Anaadi Prabhu is already purified and qualified and Krishna took him back home.
As a neophyte devotee, who has just started the spiritual journey and association of devotees, it is a greatest and irreplaceable loss, I have many unanswered question to the Supreme lord about his protection to his sincere devotees, but I am no way qualified and yield to Supreme lords plans. My only wish and prayers to Guru and Gauranga is to give our beloved HG Anaadi Prabhu the Transcendental peace, take him to his Eternal Abode and engage in supreme lords service eternal under the shelter of HDG Srila Prabhupad. I wish to end my homage with prayers to supreme lord to give strength to his family as well as all those devotees who have been closely associated with him for many years in this this Krishna Consciousness movement. OM Shanti. Hari OM Tat Sat.
