Guru Maharaj’s Glorification
Japa Talk

Theme- Guru Maharaj’s Glorification
Masyavatar Prabhu- Hare Krishna. First of all, I would like to offer my heartfelt wishes to Guru Maharaj, His Holiness Lokanath Swami Maharaj, on the auspicious occasion of his 76th Vyasa Puja. I would like to recite a verse from the Śrīmad Bhāgavatam, where Śukadeva Gosvāmī speaks:
kirāta-hūṇāndhra-pulinda-pulkaśā
ābhīra-śumbhā yavanāḥ khasādayaḥ
ye ’nye ca pāpā yad-apāśrayāśrayāḥ
śudhyanti tasmai prabhaviṣṇave namaḥ
Translation- Kirāta, Hūṇa, Āndhra, Pulinda, Pulkaśa, Ābhīra, Śumbha, Yavana, members of the Khasa races and even others addicted to sinful acts can be purified by taking shelter of the devotees of the Lord, due to His being the supreme power. I offer my respectful obeisances unto Him. [SB 2.4.18]
This verse emphasizes that even people of lower birth or those engaged in sinful activities become purified when they take shelter of pure devotees. Though this verse existed for thousands of years, it gained living significance only after Śrīla Prabhupāda came and demonstrated it in action. Śrīla Prabhupāda created devotees across the world and purified countless lives. Following in his footsteps, our Guru Maharaj has continued this mission. Today, we see how Guru Maharaj has inspired and guided more than 10,000 disciples across over 50 countries. Guru Maharaj, by your causeless mercy, you have instilled devotion in our hearts. Whatever devotional service, preaching, or spiritual strength we possess—it is all due to your blessings. We have no qualification of our own. We simply derive our power from your shelter.
You are always concerned about the welfare of your disciples. I’ve personally experienced this when I meet you. You frequently express your desire to see Sangli flourish spiritually, and you often say, “Sangli is good,” showing your deep affection for that place and its devotees. When we came to meet you in May, your words deeply touched and encouraged us. You said: “Don’t be afraid. I am with you.” These words gave me immense strength. Whether it’s management or preaching challenges, you always inspire and empower us. Guru Maharaj, may your grace always be upon us. In Sangli, we have recently acquired a 6,000 sq.ft. plot and are trying to build a small temple there. The process is nearly complete, and we are ready to begin construction. We seek your blessings to proceed with this service. Ultimately, as Padmamali Prabhu said, not just in this life—but in every life—I pray to remain your servant and disciple, serving you with enthusiasm and devotion. I offer my obeisances unto you and all the Vaiṣṇavas. Hare Krishna.
Ranchod Krishna Prabhu -Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj. Please accept my humble obeisances. Obeisances unto all the Vaiṣṇavas. It is said in the Padma Purāṇa that when someone touches tirtha, they are cleansed. But when someone comes in contact with a Guru, they are purified from within—freed from all sinful reactions.
bhavad-vidhā bhāgavatās tīrtha-bhūtāḥ svayaṁ vibho
tīrthī-kurvanti tīrthāni svāntaḥ-sthena gadābhṛtā
Translation- My lord, devotees like your good self are verily holy places personified. Because you carry the Supreme Personality of Godhead within your heart, you sanctify all places by your presence. [SB 1.13.10]
Guru Maharaj, you yourself are a living Tīrtha. Wherever you go, you bring the holy dhāmas like Pandharpur, Kurukṣetra, and Māyāpur with you. It is said in Nārad Pañcarātra that when someone receives a Vaiṣṇava mantra from a bona fide Guru, their sinful activities are instantly stopped. And Guru Maharaj, your influence is not limited to one life. Anyone who comes in contact with you is uplifted for generations. Recently, in Amravati, you simply came for a short visit, and yet, the entire devotee community was overwhelmed with joy. You awaken even those sleeping spiritually.
You attract all living entities, Guru Maharaj, with your transcendental potency. According to Hari-bhakti-vilāsa, a Guru accepts the karmic burden of even an ignorant disciple. And you take such great care of us. You give so much personal time to your disciples, as seen during the recent Brahmachari Yatra in Melukote. You are always concerned about improving our devotional lives. Your system of disciple care is unparalleled. You ensure all disciples remain connected, supported, and guided. As the word “Guru” means—“Gu” for darkness and “Ru” for remover—you remove our ignorance by constantly giving us divine knowledge from the scriptures. Your mood is always to encourage all devotees to come together and serve Śrīla Prabhupāda and Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu’s mission. We are extremely fortunate to be connected with such a pure devotee like you. We pray to always stay in your association and continue serving you.
Premanand Prabhu- Hare Krishna. I consider myself most fortunate that I was able to dedicate my entire life to Guru Maharaj. In 2001, at Guru Maharaj’s instruction, I voluntarily retired from my job as a bank manager in GFSC. He instructed me to go to Aravade village and build a grand temple, as per Śrīla Prabhupāda’s vision that every village should have a temple. By Guru Maharaj’s grace, I served in Aravade for 8 years. I was involved in all the temple services, following his instructions. Before the installation of the deities, we had shown Guru Maharaj 2–3 deity forms, and he personally selected the most beautiful one. When the temple opened, I expressed my desire to go to Vallabh Vidyanagar to help engage my family and relatives in devotional service. Later, on Guru Maharaj’s order, I served at the Noida temple, engaging in daily fundraising. I would pray to Guru Maharaj, Lord Narasiṁhadeva, and the deities to bless me so that I could collect funds for their service. By Guru Maharaj’s grace, I remained there until the temple’s inauguration.
In 2008, someone had written my horoscope and mentioned that I would have a heart attack. I informed Guru Maharaj, and he confidently said, “Nothing will happen. You will live.” And by his mercy, I am still alive, healthy, and attending Maṅgala-ārati daily—even at the age of 75! I still remember—once I mistakenly reached Maṅgala-ārati at 3:41 a.m. thinking it was 4:41 a.m., Guru maharaj’s blessing keeping me healthy. Another memorable experience was during a visit to Durban, South Africa. After dinner, I thought people would leave and not attend Maharaj’s class. But to my surprise, everyone stayed to hear his katha. On the 7th day, Guru Maharaj himself said, “I really like Durban devotees; they all stay to hear my katha.”
I took initiation 35 years ago, and whatever instructions Guru Maharaj gave me—by his mercy—I fulfilled them all. I humbly urge all devotees: Follow Guru Maharaj’s instructions sincerely, and everything will become successful. Hare Krishna.
Shyamsundar Prabhu- Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj. Dandavat Pranām, Sashtang Dandavat Pranām. First, I wish you a very happy 76th Vyasa Puja. Over the past two days, I’ve been hearing the glories of your divine qualities, and I wholeheartedly agree with all of them. I don’t wish to repeat them, but I do want to emphasize one unique quality: You not only give the right service to the right person, but you also empower them to complete it. Let me share an example from 16–17 years ago during the Pandharpur gathering. A piece of land had legal complications and a court case had begun. Many devotees believed the matter was hopeless and couldn’t be resolved. Then, Guru Maharaj, you remembered a small devotee like me and gave me that service. I was amazed at your confidence in me. I took up the task and delegated it to someone in Nagpur.
Within just 2–3 months, the issue was completely resolved. It was clearly your empowerment that made it possible. Later, during the Vyasa Puja celebration, names of contributors were announced, but mine was forgotten. I felt a little bad, thinking maybe I missed the blessings of being publicly acknowledged. But that same day, by your mercy, I received a phone call from the Police Commissioner of Pandharpur. The police commissioner told me, “If you want to have darshan (audience) of the Lord…” I said, “I want to have darshan of the Lord.” He said, “Do one thing, reach the North Gate of the temple. You have to reach there yourself. We will not be able to help in that because there was a public crowd of 1.5 million people. There was a place among them. You go there and meet Mr. Engale — Inspector Engale.” So when I went there, both of us went. With great difficulty, cutting through the crowd, people met us on the way saying, “No VIP darshan right now; VIP gate darshan is not happening.” Still, I said, “We’ve been told to go,” so we went.
As soon as we reached there, Mr. Engale met us. He cleared everyone out and took us straight in, because there was a government order that even if someone had a letter, no darshan would be allowed. But they took us inside and made us stand directly in front of the Lord, and darshan was completely stopped. Just like a ministry is given honor, in that same way, the entire darshan was stopped, and we were given full darshan. The Lord’s worn shawl, garland — all of it — was given to us, complete respect was offered. Then, when we had darshan of Rukmini Devi, Shubhangi was given a saree worn by Rukmini Devi. It all felt like the Lord was saying, “Don’t worry about that name. Even if you didn’t take it, and if you want that name, then you shall have it.” So then I decided — now I have met the Lord. Such beautiful darshan of the Lord, what more can there be? Such great mercy of Maharaj — what more could possibly happen? From then on, Guru Maharaj, I have never complained about anyone. Never complained about anyone’s devotion. It’s been 17 years now. And apart from that, whatever target you’ve given me — whether I get insulted, whatever happens to me — I don’t leave that target. It’s all your mercy. I only request that you continue to bless me in this way, continue to give targets and service, and give me strength to perform the service. Thank you very much. Once again, congratulations to you. Thank you. Hare Krishna.
Shubhangi Devi Dasi Mata Ji Offerings: Hare Krishna, Guru Maharaj. Pranam. Many many wishes to you on your 76th Vyasa Puja, and I pray at the lotus feet of Sri Sri Radha Gopinath that all your sankalpa-projects be completed soon and you remain healthy and live a long life. Again I offer my pranams at your lotus feet and also at the feet of all Vaishnavas. For two days, we have been listening to the descriptions of your qualities by all devotees. Your qualities are like an endless ocean, and it is very difficult to speak about them in two or three minutes — it’s not even possible. Still, by your mercy, I will try to speak of the qualities that I personally feel. Qualities are infinite. In you, we see the quality of “maha-vadanya” — great magnanimity — just like Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is called Mahavadan. And you often say, “Like father, like son.” When Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur instructed Prabhupada to preach in Western countries, Prabhupada had no suitable physical condition nor a favorable environment, and he didn’t even know anyone there.
Relying solely on the shelter of Guru and Gauranga, he endured extremely adverse situations and went there to distribute Krishna-prema to the whole world. So the same magnanimity that descended from Mahaprabhu to Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati to Srila Prabhupada — we now see in you. Your faith and dedication to Srila Prabhupada is exactly like how Prabhupada had for his own Guru. Though we haven’t seen Mahaprabhu or Srila Prabhupada in person — we do feel their presence through Prabhupada’s books and words — your behavior and teachings make us feel that their qualities are in you. In truth, we can say you are following their footsteps and hope that we too can follow similarly. Just as Prabhupada told you, “Do as I have done,” you have started the Zoom Mandir — its purpose is the same. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu said, “Jiva jago, jiva jago — Wake up, O sleeping soul!” In the same way, you are waking us all up. If I speak personally — before Zoom, I wouldn’t wake up early and many rounds would remain pending. But after you started the Zoom Mandir, I wake early and finish 16 rounds in the morning — this is your special mercy. You are giving Krishna-prema to everyone so generously, and you leave no gap in your efforts. But when I think of myself, I feel unfortunate.
Though the shower of mercy is pouring, my vessel is upside down. I cannot fully receive it. I don’t yet have the seriousness in spiritual life that I desire. Please bless me that I may sincerely follow your instructions, and may my remaining life be fully dedicated to your, Srila Prabhupada’s, and Gauranga Mahaprabhu’s pleasure. I feel pain seeing so many initiated disciples of yours in Nagpur and elsewhere, but how few attend Zoom sessions despite your repeated requests. You are so merciful to all living beings. Many give teachings but don’t know their disciples personally — but you do. You know every disciple by name, you remember them, and your Devotee Care and Counsellor System is proof of your magnanimity. Guru Maharaj, thank you very much. ‘Thank you’ is too small a word. We can never repay you. I only pray: may my life be dedicated solely to pleasing you, Srila Prabhupada, and Gauranga Mahaprabhu — with no other motive. Pranams. Hare Krishna.
Parmatma Prabhu:
Many thanks to Prabhuji and Mataji. Mataji is well known for glorifying others and is also known in preaching. She has special mercy of Goddess Saraswati on her speech. Maharaj often says “Yes, yes.” In our community, especially in India, we see that most Marwaris are experts in charity and religious merit. They are devoted and donate to the Lord without hesitation from what they earn. This has been their ideal. Like the Birla family — they built many temples in different places. Even Srila Prabhupada once stayed at their residence, and they gave him a special invitation. Similarly, Ramesh Mor ji from our community, with devotion and to please Maharaj, built a beautiful temple in Pachora tehsil of Jalgaon district. It’s a temple worth approximately 4 crore rupees, built on five acres, dedicated to Lord Jagannath, Baldev, and Subhadra. On Sundays and especially Ekadashi, such a huge number of devotees come that it looks like a fair. He also built a dharmashala (pilgrim rest house).
But he didn’t stop there. When he learned that Guru Maharaj’s dream project — Bhu Vaikuntha (Heaven on Earth) — was being launched in Pandharpur, he said, “I want to contribute 1 crore rupees.” We accepted that service. But his desire kept increasing. Then he decided to serve one of the three altars — Gita altar, Ram Darbar altar, and Radha Pandharinath in the center. He came up to 3 crore rupees. During Maharaj’s 75th Vyasa Puja celebrations in Vrindavan, he called me to his home and we had a discussion with Maharaj and Mor ji. That’s when he took a resolve worth 11 crore rupees. Till now, he has already given 1.5 crores. We pray from the heart for him. This example set by him should inspire all devotees to contribute to the extent of their faith and capacity — not to step back in supporting this project. Also, Prabhuji chants 16 rounds daily, stays in contact with Maharaj, and joins Zoom meetings every day. He visits the temple daily, inspects everything, and supports temple expenses. His service list is long. I pray that since Prabhuji is seeing Guru Maharaj and glorifying him, may he continue like this. Hare Krishna.
Ramesh Mor Prabhu’s Offering: Hare Krishna. First of all, I offer many good wishes and dandavat pranams to our most revered Guru Maharaj on his 76th Vyasa Puja. My introduction to Guru Maharaj happened in 2002, when Maharaj’s discourses were taking place in Pune. My daughter was studying there, and I used to visit for a few days. The lectures were held at the ISKCON Camp temple. The first time I went there and heard Maharaj’s lecture, I was deeply impacted. For two to three years, I kept attending those December sessions. Then in 2012 or 2013, Maharaj came to Pachora for a program. That was my first in-person meeting with him. Later, in 2016, during the Golden Jubilee celebrations, I donated land in Pachora for the temple. In 2020, after my mother passed away, Maharaj ordered me to build the temple as well. As per his order, I completed the construction, and Maharaj himself came to inaugurate it two years ago. That moment was the most important in my life — I will never forget it.
Afterward, when Maharaj’s dream project — Vaikuntha Dham — began, I desired to contribute. Slowly, my resolve increased, as Pramatma Prabhu explained. Whatever obstacles came in the way of my commitment are now slowly resolving. Soon, I will fulfill the sankalpa (vow) I have made. I will try my best to fulfill any ideal Maharaj gives in my life. Currently, Maharaj desires to build a grand temple in Jalgaon as well. I have already taken small steps in that direction and have the wish to contribute more. Once again, I offer dandavat pranams to Maharaj and pray that his blessings always remain on me and my family. Hare Krishna. Thank you.
Suresh Mor Prabhu’s Offering (Elder Brother): Thank you very much to Ramesh Prabhu. Maharaj’s special blessings are upon you. You have become the recipient of special mercy. Maharaj always remembers and asks about you — surely your service is reaching the Lord’s lotus feet. Thank you very much. Now his elder brother — our respected elder Suresh Mor ji — also lives in Pachora but currently stays mostly in Pune. Following the same footsteps, he too has become involved in the project. When we came here in 2022, perhaps for the centennial celebration of his Guru Mata, he had come to invite us. That was our first meeting in Pandharpur. When he came and heard about the beautiful project being developed, he expressed a desire to serve, but didn’t take a sankalpa (vow) then. He only said, “Our support will be there for the project.”
Later, when we went to inaugurate the Jagannath temple in Pachora with Guru Maharaj, we met again. Inspired by Lord Jagannath and Guru Maharaj, he said, “I want to do some service.” He invited us to his home and said, “I’ll donate one crore.” He gave the amount immediately. Later, during Ashadhi Ekadashi celebrations in Pandharpur, when he saw the grandeur of the Bhu Vaikuntha project, he felt like doing even more. We requested him, “Your elder brother did one altar; you should too.” So he took the seva of the Radha Pandharinath altar — valued at 3 crore rupees. He has already given 1.5 crore. He is very sincere and devoted to his work. Even his wife chants regularly. He frequently meets Maharaj and always supports.
He even donated his SUV (XUV 500) to Maharaj for the Bhu Vaikuntha project. I offer him many thanks. He is here today and will now glorify Maharaj. Hare Krishna. Prabhuji, please unmute and speak. One minute… yes, now it’s unmuted… yes, your voice is audible.
Suresh Mor Prabhu Speaks: Millions of obeisances at the feet of Gurudev. Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnu, Gurur Devo Maheshwara, Gurur Sakshat Parabrahma Tasmai Sri Gurave Namah. I’ve been connected with Maharaj personally for 7–8 years, since he came to Pachora. That’s when I had his darshan, and I got inspired to do some service. Though I took diksha (initiation) from Guru Mai Om Malti Mataji of Sangli, I continued to receive guidance from her. She passed away in 2008, and after that, perhaps by divine inspiration, I got connected with Guru Maharaj. When the Bhu Vaikuntha project was discussed during his Pachora visit, I got a desire to serve in some small way — all because of his inspiration. When I attended the Ekadashi program in Pandharpur two years ago and saw the grand scale of the project, I felt like doing even more. Whatever service I am doing is only by his mercy and guidance. Now I am determined to use all of my resources for God’s service. This is everyone’s duty. This has only been possible by Guru Mata’s and Guru Maharaj’s mercy. I offer millions of pranams on this 76th Vyasa Puja and give heartfelt wishes. Thank you.
Guru Maharaj’s Closing Blessing:
I am pleased. You have brought Jagannath to your village and established Him in your home. So mercy is flowing on your whole family and the entire Pachora region. Your names — Ramesh Mor and Suresh Mor — are dear to me. The word “Mor” reminds one of Krishna’s peacock. Lord Jagannath, Lord Ram, Lord Krishna — all are showering blessings upon you. The Bhu Vaikuntha project in Pandharpur, “Vaikuntha on Earth,” will benefit countless generations. Thousands and millions will say “thank you.” Your name will be remembered in those thank-yous. You are qualifying yourselves to receive the highest gift — the Lord’s love. Accept it. You deserve it. Thank you. Hare Krishna.
Anadaprada Mataji’s offering- Hare Krishna. Dandavat Pranam Gurudev. First of all, I just want to clear one thing, Goddess Laxmi, the wife of Thakurji does this service. Guru Maharaj is constructing a palace for Thakurji and Laxmi Devi is giving that seva for her husband. We are just postmen. Apart from this, we have no other role. All this service is the mercy of the Lord and Guru Maharaj. We are just taking it from Thakurji and giving to Guru Maharaj.
Guru Maharaj, wishing you happy birthday. In the 8.4 million births, we living entities get body from the parents, but only human birth is very rare and it needs the shelter of Guru to achieve the goal. Without Guru he cannot achieve his goal. Everyone gets mother and father but everyone is not so fortunate to get the spiritual master.
brahmāṇḍa bhramite kona bhāgyavān jīva
guru-kṛṣṇa-prasāde pāya bhakti-latā-bīja
Translation- According to their karma, all living entities are wandering throughout the entire universe. Some of them are being elevated to the upper planetary systems, and some are going down into the lower planetary systems. Out of many millions of wandering living entities, one who is very fortunate gets an opportunity to associate with a bona fide spiritual master by the grace of Kṛṣṇa. By the mercy of both Kṛṣṇa and the spiritual master, such a person receives the seed of the creeper of devotional service. [CC Madhya 19.151]
We are very fortunate that by the mercy of Sri Sri Radha Govindadev we got you as our spiritual master. There are two ways of God realization, sadhana siddha and kripa siddha. Without Guru even sadhana siddhi is not possible. Just as after birth a child becomes authorized recipient of his father’s wealth and glories, similarly Gurudev I do not have much ability but I have strong faith that as you have bestowed your mercy on this disciple, I will definitely attain the lotus feet of Radha Krishna.
tava kathāmṛtaṁ tapta-jīvanaṁ
kavibhir īḍitaṁ kalmaṣāpaham
śravaṇa-maṅgalaṁ śrīmad ātataṁ
bhuvi gṛṇanti ye bhūri-dā janāḥ
Translation- The nectar of Your words and the descriptions of Your activities are the life and soul of those suffering in this material world. These narrations, transmitted by learned sages, eradicate one’s sinful reactions and bestow good fortune upon whoever hears them. These narrations are broadcast all over the world and are filled with spiritual power. Certainly, those who spread the message of Godhead are most munificent. [ŚB 10.31.9]
Gurudev many happy wishes on your birthday and bless me that till my last breath I will follow the path shown by you and I should progress in devotion. Gurudev, where your lotus feet are, there is my Goloka Dham. Hare Krsna.
Padmamali Prabhu- Thank you so much Mataji for your offering and support. Now we have HG Jayatirth Prabhu with us. He is manager, preacher and in charge of Raichur. He is expert in taking us on pilgrimages. He is also engaged in Bhuvaikuntha project.
Jayatirth Prabhu- Hare Krsna. Dandavat Pranam Guru Maharaj. Bless me Guru Maharaj so that I can do this Vyasapuja offering. om ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ. Guru Maharaj, many wishes on your 76th Vyasapuja. I become very satisfied to get an opportunity to speak on Vyasapuja and especially when we glorify you, we become very happy. But on the other hand, I feel guilty that even though I have achieved the association of such a saintly person who has love and devotion for the Holy name, yet I am not able to develop the taste in the Holy name. This is my short coming. Guru Maharaj loves the Holy name so much that every moment you keep on remembering the Holy name and you yourself says that ‘Holy name does not leave me’. And for hours you keep glorifying the Holy name. For hours you speak on the Holy name and for hours you perform kirtan. This is your love for the Holy name which is coming out from your heart. But we see Gurudev just outwardly. Guru Maharaj, we are unable to see the mood, bhav that you have. The day when we will understand Gurudeva’s mood, we will not leave Nama Prabhu even for a moment.
When we will start loving Nama Prabhu, we will never commit any offense. Yet we have no love for Nama Prabhu and that’s why we keep committing offenses. Why we do not have love for the Holy name? Because we commit offenses. We commit offenses unto Gurudeva and that’s why even though Holy name lover saint is with us, we are not able to understand his glories. In the scriptures many glories of the Holy name are given and Guru Maharaj when you tell us the essence of all scriptures, you say that the essence of scriptures is one vidhi, and one nishedha, prohibition. What is vidhi? Chant the Holy name every moment. And what is nishedha? Not to forget the Lord even for a moment. You keep telling this again and again.
Guru Maharaj, from many years you are giving so many seminars and lectures, you organize so many festivals, construct huge temples, what is the main purpose of all this? The main purpose of this is you want to describe the glories of the Holy name and all the time you describe the glories of the Holy name. But we are unable to understand this. This is our offense at your lotus feet. The day we start following your instructions, there won’t be anything left to do. Because Prabhupada himself has told, ‘always keep chanting Hare Krsna Mahamantra, everything will be done perfectly’. And Guru Maharaj, by the instructions of Prabhupada, you are teaching the same thing. We do not follow, that is the problem. You are engaged in Harinama for 24 hours, and we stop after doing 16 rounds. Guru Maharaj, first time when I met you, I asked you, ‘why only 16 rounds?’ And you said, ‘minimum 16 rounds, maximum no limit, one lakh, two lakhs, three lakhs.’ So, from some time I am trying to increase Harinama. You bless me so that I can develop taste in Harinama.
This time Guru Maharaj we organized two Rathayatras in Raichur. In Raichur we distributed 20 thousand Khaja prasadam. In Telangana, 70 km from Raichur, there is our Adbhuta Narasimha Prabhu. There also we did wonderful Rathayatra. In Saidapur, 40 kms from Raichur, we have acquired eight and a half acer land and there we are doing preaching. In Narayanpur where we did Rathayatra, there also we have acquired one acer land. Apart from this, in Raichur our two projects are going on. Guru Maharaj, for third project we are getting very beautiful place in front of a lake, on the mountain, where we are planning to proceed with ‘New Jagannath Puri’ project. MLA of this area has promised us to give this project, to donate this land. We are working on that project. And Guru Maharaj your favorite, Padayatra, we see that in those places where saints live and preach the name of the Lord, those places are very different than other places. Those places where saints have not visited for 100-200 years are desolate. People there live like zombies. Wherever saints go, they make that place holy. That place becomes prosperous and the life of the people of that area becomes better. They agree that they were ordinary people, but when they received the name of the Lord and the saints, they became wealthy.
Guru Maharaj, all over the world you are making many places prosperous by the Padayatras. Thank you so much Guru Maharaj. Hare Krsna. Dandavat Pranam.
Padmamali Prabhu- Thank you Prabhuji. Now we have Trilokinath Prabhu who is from ISCKON Noida. Prabhuji is busy in various services of Guru Maharaj.
Trilokinath Prabhu- Hare Krishna Prabhuji. Namah om visnu padaya krsnapresthaya bhutale srimate lokanath swamin iti namine. Vanca kalpatarubhyas ca krpa sindhubhya eva ca patitanam pavanebhyo vaisnavebhyo namo namah. Hare Krsna Gurudev. Please accept my humble obeisances at the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to your causeless mercy, compassion. All glories to your divine mercy on your 76th Vyasapuja ceremony. On this auspicious day I want to thank Gurudev for bestowing his mercy on me and accepting me as his disciple. Maharaj, this Kaliyuga is the ocean of defects, yet it is the virtue of this Kaliyuga only to chant the Holy name. By this man becomes free from the miseries and bondages of this material world. Maharaj, I received this divine name from you. I have received your mercy.
My life has changed by this divine name. I have full faith that by following the instructions, by your mercy, I will definitely be free from the bondages of material world. Maharaj, it is not possible without your mercy. At every step I beg for your mercy. I have no qualifications, but by the association of devotees I am able to understand the science of self-realization. Guru Maharaj, I am able to develop love for Prabhupada by hearing your zoom lectures. Gurudev your attachment for Srila Prabhupada is so strong that whoever comes in your contact develops love for Jagadguru Srila Prabhupada. I am very fortunate that Gurudev I have received your personal association. I get your darsan daily on zoom. On behalf of my family and all the devotees, I pray to Sri Sri Radha Govindadev, Jagannath, Baladev and Subhadra Maharani, Gaura Nitai, and Srila Prabhupada that They keep you always healthy, so that you can keep giving the message of the Isvara Tattva to the fallen souls like me and can keep giving Krsna consciousness. It is said in Upanisad
ayaṃ nijaḥ paro veti gaṇanā laghucetasām |
udāracaritānāṃ tu vasudhaiva kuṭumbakam ||
Translation- The thought that, this is mine and that is somebody else’s, appear only to those with a narrow mind. For the large-hearted ones, however, the entire world is a family.
Only the narrow-minded people like me discriminate between mine and others. The Vedic vision which you have preached makes it clear that everywhere on this earth is the family of Gurudeva, vasudhaiva kutumbakam. This is so because Krsna says
sarva-yoniṣu kaunteya
mūrtayaḥ sambhavanti yāḥ
tāsāṁ brahma mahad yonir
ahaṁ bīja-pradaḥ pitā
Translation- It should be understood that all species of life, O son of Kuntī, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father. [Bg. 14.4]
Krsna is the seed giving father. You say that we are one family.
Guru Maharaj, keep bestowing your mercy on this unfortunate family so that we can keep following Prabhupada’s mission and your instructions. On this occasion I remember that in sector 56 when we were doing Janmastami festival, that time heavy rain was falling. Entire pandal was full of water. And we were worried how to celebrate the festival. Then we came to you and brought you to the pandal. We were discussing with you how to celebrate Janmastami. You raised your hand and after ten minutes rain stopped. We can understand how much power of the Lord is with you, as you can understand what is going to happen and when. By this we can understand how much power Guru Maharaj is having upon us and we consider ourselves very fortunate to have Guru like Guru Maharaj, because of which our life is changing. There are more than ten thousand disciples of Guru Maharaj and all of them are connected with this mission and receiving your mercy to serve Prabhupada. Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj, Dandavat pranam.
Padmamali Prabhu- Hare Krishna Prabhu, thank you for your service, offering and support. Thank you so much. Now we have with us Jayagovinda Prabhu, all the way from Zambia, small country near South Africa. Originally, he is from Delhi, but he has settled down there and is serving there. Paramatma Prabhu will talk more about him.
Parmatma Prabhu- Prabhuji has served in Noida and he has special contribution in Krishna Arjuna chariot. He speaks less but serves more. When Bhuvaikuntha project started we met Prabhu many times. And especially Prabhu came to Vrindavan for the 75th Vyasapuja. To please Guru Maharaj, he gave 1cr donation for Bhuvaikuntha. We thank Prabhu very much. Till now prabhu has given 30 lakhs. And we request Prabhuji to go ahead. We want to complete the project and please Guru Maharaj. Thank you very much. Hare Krishna.
Jayagovinda Prabhu- Hare Krishna. Guru Maharaj ki jai! Srila Prabhupada ki jai! First, I thank Padmamali Prabhu and Paramatma Prabhu that they gave me this opportunity to speak to words on the occasion of Guru Maharaj’s Vyasapuja. om ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñānāñjana-śalākayā cakṣur unmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrī-gurave namaḥ. Guru Maharaj on the 76th Vyasapuja I offer millions of dandavat pranam unto you. This is my good fortune that two days back we have celebrated Rathayatra festival and yesterday Atul Krishna Das Prabhu has departed from here and he said that he is going to Pandharpur for Vyasapuja. He will tell you in detail how we did 15 days celebration of Rathayatra this time. We did Snana yatra on 15th June. Then we did Bhagavata Katha, and on 27th we did kirtan mela. First time we did kirtan mela in Zambia in which Golokanath Prabhu participated. On 28th also we had very successful festival. Rathayatra was on 29th. Thousands of people participated in that. Guru Maharaj, I became very emotional in this Rathayatra.
There was mercy of Jagannath. But I got emotional thinking how people came from all places and are glorifying the Lord, how Lord’s mercy comes from anywhere. I remembered you Guru Maharaj, thinking that if you would be here then we could spread Krishna consciousness on a larger scale. I have requested Guru Maharaj many times that by your mercy we can spread Krishna consciousness in this country. We have seen that when we do Jagannath Rathayatra, thousands of people come and every year the number is increasing. So, without your permission I have thought that it would be good to name this temple as ‘Jagannath temple’. So, I request you so that I can announce here; you have given us this Gaur Hari Nitai temple, but I have seen the emotion that is arising in people here seeing Jagannath, so I am thinking that it will be better if we call this temple as Jagannath temple.
Guru Maharaj – Jagannath Dham Zambia ki Jai! Jai to you as well.
Jayagovinda Prabhu- Thank you Guru Maharaj. I also want to request one more thing on this good occasion. I am completely dependent on you. I am not capable, I do not have knowledge, I cannot speak or do anything. You just let bestowing your mercy and few devotees are ready here. Atul Krishna Das Prabhu will give you report. I am the only one initiated devotee here, but so many devotees are engaged in our temple services. When we do Rathayatra, around 50-60 volunteers organize this Rathayatra. Some of them chant regularly, read Bhagavad Gita; daily we have one program of Bhagavad Gita, they attend it. Lot of success is there, but unless there is the mercy of Guru Maharaj none can achieve God realization.
Guru Maharaj – Do it online. Online initiation.
Jayagovinda Prabhu- Yes Guru Maharaj. Atul Krishna Das told me that this is also possible. But whenever you will get chance to come here to South Africa, then it is possible here as well. If they will get offline initiation then they will become more enthusiastic and we will get opportunity to connect more people. This is our thought Guru Maharaj. By the way we will try to do online as well. So, Guru Maharaj you keep showering your mercy on us. Forgive us if we do any offense. Thank you very much Guru Maharaj.
Padmamali Prabhu- That you so much Jayagovinda Prabhu for the wonderful offering. Today we have with us very senior devotees, senior by devotion and senior by services. They have leading roles and serving for the pleasure of Guru Maharaj. In that connection we are fortunate to have one more pair of brothers. Few minutes before we had Ramesha Moar and Suresh Moar Prabhuji. Now we have two more ideal brothers. Their pair is praiseworthy. They have made their place in our zone and in Guru Maharaj’s heart. So, we will hear from Ajay Gauranga Prabhu and Mayapur Dham Prabhu all the way from Udaypur. Prabhuji you decide who will speak first. If both of you want you speak at a time then you both can unmute and speak. Over to you.
Ajay Gauranga Prabhu – Hare Krishna. Namah om visnu padaya krsnapresthaya bhutale srimate lokanatha swamin iti namine. Guru Maharaj my humble obeisances at your lotus feet. My dandavat pranams to all devotees. Guru Maharaj whenever I speak in front of you, I get goosebumps. I can not dare to speak in front of you. I plan to speak many things but can not speak. Guru Maharaj you are idol of love and compassion. I do not know what good activity I did in this life. I don’t think I have done anything. This is the causeless mercy of Caitanya Mahaprabhu as He gave me your shelter. Guru Maharaj the association you give through zoom, that is beyond imagination. Even at this age everyday you are ready for the session and look at us with the eyes full of compassion. I always want to be first on the screen, so that I can get the blessing of Guru Maharaj. I beg forgiveness from all devotees, but I have this greed. I just want to start the day with your darsan. Guru Maharaj you share your Krsna with us. Chanting time is your personal time with your Krsna but you share your Krsna with all of us. No one else can show such compassion. You are sharing your time which is your personal time with your Krsna. None can do this. This is your causeless mercy. I can not explain this in words.
Your love for Srila Prabhupada is most astonishing. You always take name of Prabhuapda. This is your love for your spiritual master. Guru Maharaj may one day I also develop such love. Guru Maharaj your dream project, Pandharpur project is the dream project of me too. And for that I am trying my best, how to develop it and how to join people with it. I am trying my best. I do not have any qualification. If you will make me an instrument then I will be able to serve you Guru Maharaj. I need your blessings. Ganga is worshiped by Ganga water only, similarly if you will make me an instrument then I can serve you. This is my request unto your lotus feet. Keep showering your love upon me like this. Please forgive me if I commit any mistake. I am not eligible for this love but by your causeless mercy you have provided me this love. I have mercy of Prabhupada on me. I beg at the lotus feet of Mahaprabhu, Srinathaji and Pandharinath that you should get long life, and there should not be any problem in your life. Thank you, Guru Maharaj, and happy 76th Vyasapuja Guru Maharaj.
Guru Maharaj- Jai! Hare Krsna!
Mayapur Dham Prabhu-
gurave gauracandrāya rādhikāyai tadālaye
kṛṣṇāya kṛṣṇabhaktāya tadbhaktāya namo namaḥ
Translation- I offer my respectful obeisances to the spiritual master, to Śrī Gauracandra, to Śrīmatī Rādhikā and Her associates, to Śrī Kṛṣṇa and His devotees, and to all the Vaiṣṇavas.
All glories to Guru Maharaj. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Maharaj happy 76th Vyasapuja. What I can say about Maharaj. As Ajay Gauranga Prabhu was saying, in our Udayapur devotees there is always a competition, who will come first on the screen. Almost every time the winner is Ajay Gauranga Prabhu and also other devotees. Sometimes I want to defeat them but I cannot. I try to give them tough competition but they always surpass me. Yet Maharaj give his merciful glance on me, gives me blessings with both hands and like this our day begins. That is the foundation of our day. This Japa session which Guru Maharaj is giving from 6 years is a boon for me. It covers all five limbs of my devotion.
’sādhu-saṅga’, ‘sādhu-saṅga’—sarva-śāstre kaya
lava-mātra sādhu-saṅga sarva-siddhi haya
Translation- The verdict of all revealed scriptures is that by even a moment’s association with a pure devotee, one can attain all success. [CC Madhya 22.54]
The unprecedented association of Maharaj, I live here near Udayapur Srinathaji. Here we have Madhavendra Puri’s Deity, Srinathaji Gopalji. Madhavendra Puri went to Jagannath Puri from Vrindavan to get the sandal. So, I think that, even today if any saint is there like him who can walk on foot for the Lord, then Guru Maharaj is personally present who represents Madhavendra Puri. Even today such saints are with us, given by Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Prabhupada who by their austerities are saving the world. If this world is saved then it is just because of the mercy of such saints. We see that whole world is fighting and dying, but our ISKCON devotees are constructing Lord’s temples.
I want to share one incident which we Udayapur devotees have realized. One time Guru Maharaj had arrived in Udayapur and was standing in front of Jagannath alter. Pujari gave him a flower to offer. Maharaj took the flower and threw towards Jagannath. And we saw that Jagannath caught that flower. We saw that hand came from Jagannath and caught the flower. We four five devotees saw this. This was very astonishing. Then Maharaj had darsan of Madhavendra Puri’s Deity. I can not explain the meeting of Gopalji and Guru Maharaj. So, we request Maharaj to come again to have darsan of Gopalji. You had planned to come but you did not come. We Udayapur devotes are waiting for you. Maharaj come to Udayapur and bless us.
In 1971 Maharaj started his journey from Cross Maidan, Mumbai. And today is 2025. From 54 years Maharaj is serving. Our age is 44 years and Maharaj is serving from 54 years. We are going to celebrate 50th Sannyasa anniversary in December. So, I was thinking, around a year back we had grand celebration of my parent’s 50th marriage anniversary. So, I was telling to my parents, ‘We had grand celebration of your marriage anniversary, and my Guru Maharaj is having 50th anniversary of his austerities. So how grand that celebration should be.’ I was thinking why not spent all money of this brahmanda on that day? There should be one movie showing Maharaj’s each year’s journey, how he performed austerities for ISCKON, for Prabhupada, and for this world. Maharaj’s efforts are not only for present, but Maharaj is thinking about how to deliver the fallen souls in the next ten thousand years.
The relation between Pandharpur and Arawade, Caitanya Mahaprabhu went to Arawade, Pandharpur Dham. Nityananda Prabhu had initiation in Pandharpur Dham. Visvarupa departed for His abode from Pandharpur. So, this Pandharpur and Gaudiya connection is not a small connection. Prabhupada gave us Vrindavan Dham and Mayapur Dham. Caitanya Mahaprabhu told us about Jagannath. Maharaj is Dham Guru. He tells us about the Dham. When we go to Vrindavan, Maharaj made us do 84 kros parikrama. When we go to Mayapur, Maharaj made us to do Navadvipa Mandal Parikrama. When we go to Jagannath Puri Maharaj made us to do Jagannath Puri Parikrama. And Maharaj is showing us Bhuvaikuntha, where is Vaikuntha on the earth. So, the dream project of Maharaj is also my dream project. I request to Maharaj, whichever are my pledges, I may complete the project with all the devotees. My brick should also be there and Lord Vitthal should stand on my brick. Give me the blessings. Thank you very much Maharaj. I wish for your long, good health and we should get your blessings always. Hare Krishna.
Parmatma Prabhu- Thank you very much Prabhuji to both of you brothers for your services. This is a good example for everyone and all devotees should take inspiration from you. Thank you Prabhuji.
Padmamali Prabhu- Now we have last two three devotees, who have support for Guru Maharaj’s project. One is HG Giriraj Govardhan Prabhu from Alibagh. He is living a vanaprastha life after his retirement. He is residing in Pandharpur now. Over to you Giriraj Govardhan Prabhu.
Giriraj Govardhan Prabhu- Hare Krishna, Dandavat Pranam Guru Maharaj. By your mercy, your life and teachings are my life. You are the ideal disciple of Prabhupada. I am trying to be like you. Maharaj whenever you live in Vrindavan, or in other places, earlier when I was Grihasthi, I used to become very sad because I could not get your association regularly. I was trying again and again to become a full-time devotee, but you said that ‘You are Grihastha. After that you become Vanaprasthi.’ But when you started zoom six years back, I started feeling that we are living in a temple. We can understand from you that guru is always worried for their disciples. We had special mercy of you. When there was your 50th initiation anniversary in Vrindavan; program was in Govardhan on 16th, but on 15th we were not getting permission, as eight people died in Banke Bihari.
So, to control the crowd, crowd gatherings were banned. There was program at Radhakunda. They told us that we will not let your program happen. So Krsna Bhakta prabhu called me in Vrindavan, ‘Prabhu come quickly.’ I said, ‘Prabhuji I have buses service.’ ‘No, you come. Maharaj is remembering you.’ I immediately left for Govardhan from Vrindavan and asked ‘what happened?’ Prabhu told that we are not getting permission. Now see what can we do. After taking blessing from Maharaj, I took with me Vamsidhari Prabhu. Vamsidhari Prabhu knows Braja language. I told Prabhu, ‘no matter how long it will take, but we want permission.’ We took Guru Maharaj’s blessings and prasad with us. We went to many places, but we were getting rejection from everywhere. Prabhuji asked what to do now? I told him, Prabhuji you do chanting and pray to Guru Maharaj. We started to chant Guru Maharaj’s pranam mantra on the beads. So, by the desire of Guru Maharaj, I thought to ask in one office. One mataji was sitting there. I told that Mataji the situation. I told her we are from Maharashtra, especially from Mumbai, we have such program but we are not getting permission. She asked what is the problem? When I told her that I am from Mumbai, and she used to work in Mumbai and once had visited Alibagh.
She asked ‘are you from Alibagh?’ I said ‘yes’. I told her ‘Around ten thousand devotees are going to come, but we are not getting permission. Collector has directly rejected it. We don’t know what is the reason.’ Mataji said, ‘it is a secret. we cannot open the secret.’ ‘Ok, you see that what is the remark on that.’ She saw the remark that eight people are dead in Banke Bihari due to lack of crowd control. ‘But Mataji we can do one thing. We take responsibility of crowd control.’ Mataji said, ‘we do not have any problem if you take the responsibility.’ Immediately she said, ‘you go to Radhakunda. DSP sir is there.’ Vamsidhari Prabhu and I immediately left. We met that DSP on the way. ‘Prabhu, I got the call that you are taking the responsibility.’ I said, yes. We will take responsibility of security and crowd control. Then he said, then no problem. Immediately while standing on the street, he signed and we returned. By this we can understand the strong faith and surrender unto the spiritual maser. We learned that whenever there is any problem in the life, then just by remembering Maharaj, that problem is solved. As to avoid offense while chanting we take shelter of Panchatattva, similarly when there is any problem in spiritual path or material path, that goes away by taking shelter of Guru Maharaj.
I am connected with Maharaj from last 25 years, so I have many pastimes to share. Devotees ask me to tell that. They ask me to compose one book on my realizations with Maharaj. I used to do program at various places and talk about Maharaj and Prabhupada. People are very interested in listening about Maharaj. They say, ‘We have heard Bhagavat Katha, but this Bhagavat katha we have not heard.’ So, he is extraorinary Guru. Many people say that you are very fortunate. Maharaj also making whole world fortunate by giving his association daily on zoom. Rain water falls everywhere, but some unfortunate souls do not take its advantage. Everyone is having seed, but if there won’t be rain on that seed, Guru’s mercy is for everyone, but.
We have one incident from Alibagh as well. Once GBC retreat was going to take there. We had seen one big resort. Maharaj asked, what happened? We said ‘we went there. That owner was Shetty.’ ‘Okay. How much will be the expenses?’ ‘It will be around 17 lakhs for three days.’ Maharaj said, ‘Go. If there will be mercy on you then everything will be free.’ ‘How is this possible?’ Maharaj asked, ‘who will do the expenses?’ I said, ‘our Alibagh group will do it or I will do it.’ He said, ‘No no. You go and ask him if he will give it free.’ I went to the owner. He said, ‘yes free’. I told to Maharaj, ‘Oh he gave it free? You have Guru’s mercy upon you.’ Every disciple is having the mercy of Guru but capable person receives that. Maharaj’s life is just as told by Rupa Goswami. I remember Maharaj daily, not three times but hundreds of time. I pray that life after life I could serve Maharaj. Hare Krishna.
Padmamali Prabhu- Thank you Giriraj Govardhan Prabhu. Last two speakers- Amal Caitanya Prabhu and Ramaleela Mataji.
Parmatma Parbhu- Amal Caitanya Prabhu is from Atpadi, Sangali. He is a businessman. So, because of jewelry business he lives in Coimbatore in South India. He is doing preaching there and sends seva from there. Earlier Prabhu had taken 11 lakhs Sankalpa but last time when we had meeting with Guru Maharaj, Maharaj encouraged everyone that all of us should utilize all of our capacity for Bhuvaikuntha. So Prabhuji got inspired with this and took sankalpa of 1cr. From that Prabhu has given 15 lakhs till now. Thank you Prabhuji for that. Prabhuji wants to connect other people with this. Thank you Prabhuji. Hare Krishna.
Amal Caitanya Prabhu- I offer my humble obeisances at the lotus feet of Guru Maharaj. And happy 76th Vyasapuja. I thank zoom team and Parmatma Prabhu for giving me opportunity to speak. Once I had prasad in Rathayatra and wore Kanthimala, became a devotee. In 2007 when All India Padayatra was in Tamilnadu, I got opportunity to pick Guru Maharaj from Coimbatore airport with Premanjan Prabhu. Guru Maharaj inspired me. For two hours I was with Maharaj. Maharaj encouraged me to serve Arawade. From there my journey of service began. By Guru Maharaj’s mercy, in 2007 I could give 25 lakh donation for Arawade. Just by two hours inspiration I could do that. Then I got initiation and I went to see Guru Maharaj in Arawade. When I met him, I asked him what can I do to please him. Guru Maharaj ordered me to serve Radha Gopal. I do not how it is happening, but every year on Janmastami and 26th January, I receive list from there and I don’t know how but I could do the service. This is causeless mercy of Guru Maharaj. When Bhuvaikuntha was announced two years back, I took sankalpa of 11 lakhs in Arawade. Krishnabhakta Prabhu called me for Ahobilam Yatra which was for leaders. I was thinking I am not a leader, but because of Guru Maharaj’s mercy I could go to Ahobilam Yatra. I met Guru Maharaj personally. Maharaj said, do it and join more and more people. That same day I took sankalpa. Parmatma Prabhu was there, Prahlad Prabhu was there, Krishna Bhakta Prabhu was there, they inspired me and I took sankalpa of 1 cr. From Kasmir to Kanyakumari there are many people from Sangali in the jewelry field. I want to collect minimum 5 to 10 Cr from these people to serve Bhuvaikuntha. I request Guru Maharaj, keep blessing me like this and always keep me in your shelter. Hare Krishna.
Guru Maharaj- Hare Krishna.
Parmatma Prabhu- Thank you Prabhuji. Definitely your sankalpa will be completed by the mercy of Guru Maharaj. We pray at the lotus feet of Lord Vitthal, may He give you success and we are with you. Prabhuji has done for Mayapur, for Arawade and now it is the responsibility of us Bhuvaikuntha Pandharpur. Thank You. Now we have Ramleela Mataji with us. She is from Solapur. She is a good preacher. And she leads ISKCON girl’s forum and with that she does collection for Bhuvaikuntha. She has formed a good team and with her team Mataji is going from house to house and doing collection for Bhuvaikuntha. She personally also has given for Bhuvaikuntha. Thank you Mataji.
Ramleela mataji- Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj. Dandavat pranam at your lotus feet. Happy 76th Vyasapuja. Guru Maharaj I am not qualified but I am trying to speak. Guru Maharaj I am remembering one pastime. When you came first time to our home, that time one LIC man had come and I asked him to come later. That time you called him and blessed him. Seeing this I thought ‘my Guru is ocean of mercy and compassion. He sees all souls equally.’ Guru Maharaj whenever I meet you, you ask me about Bhuvaikunth project. I try my best to follow your instructions. I want your blessings. Guru Maharaj kripa karake muzako apana lena, me charana padi tumhari charanon me jagah dena, Guru Maharaj kripa karake muzako apana lena, Guru Maharaj accept me mercifully. I am falling at your lotus feet. Give me place at your lotus feet. Guru Maharaj I am going to try my best. Going house to house, whatever donation I get, 500, 1000, I am collecting it. I am trying my best Guru Maharaj. I strongly need your blessings. Without your blessings I can not do this. Hare Krishna Guru Maharaj.
Guru Maharaj- Jai! Hare Krishna.
Parmatma Prabhu- Hare Krishna. Thank you to all the devotees who have taken service in Bhuvaikuntha. Continue your services and join many more devotees and donors. We want to complete Bhuvaikuntha as early as possible. Till next Ashadhi we want two floors. This depends on us. All of us are getting lots of blessings of Guru Maharaj. Take this power and proceed further. Thanks to all. All of you come to Pandharpur. All of you are welcome. Hare Krishna.
