Srila Prabhupada ki jai.
Gauranga Nityananda ki jai
Gauranga, Gauranga, Nityananda Gauranga
Gauranger nitya-seva haibe vikasa
This was prediction of Nityananda Prabhu, prediction or His will as Nityananda Prabhu took Jiva Goswami on Parikrama. He once said, ‘ekhane", I don't know it was this exact location, "ekhane eka adbhut mandir haibe prakash There will be one temple and he describes that "adbhut mandir" astounding temple will be built from where the glories of Gauranga will be broadcasted all over the world. So that temple is none other than this one. That is this temple which Srila Prabhupada had vision and 50 years ago, he did the inauguration, he did the ground breaking ceremony of this temple.
So, 50 years ago as Srila Prabhupada had arrived here to hold a celebration firstever Gaura Purnima festival. By that time Srila Prabhupada had very successfully made Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s prediction come true, Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Thakur ki jai You could see two Prabhupada's here this scene is 100 years old and it is ever new, never becomes old, now that place is with us, Ultadanga junction road, just recently we managed to get and develop and you know all about that.
So, instruction was given there, there also 'pashchatya desha tarine’ Srila Bhakti Siddhanta Sarasvati Thakur used the term,or say in 'Western country, Western world', he spread Krishna Consciousness, Bhagavad Dharma in English language and with that Srila Prabhupada also made Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s prediction come true and that was ‘My name will reach every town,every village, all over the planet, all over the world.’
So, 50 years ago when Prabhupada was here, Gauranga Mahaprabhu's prediction had already become true or Srila Prabhupada executed the will of Gauranga by that time.
But what about Nityananda Prabhu's will and his prediction aboutthe temple. "The adbhut mandir " astounding temple that he talked about. So, 50 years ago inauguration, ground breaking, happened and Prabhupada had a big vision, 350 feet tall. I just checked with Brajavillas, what is the height and he said 350 feet. That was the Prabhupada’s vision, Prabhupada also was talking about and he was working on getting 350 acres of land. How much we have,we have,we doubled it, we have 700 acres of land.
Prabhupada also was talking about city of golden avatar with 50,000 residents and we think we have may be 5000 also by now and more to come. So, not just the temple, once we have completed this TOVP project, we have more things to go,we have to work on whole city of golden avatar, but before we do that we have this remaining task, this is time already the appreciation are happening.
So many devotees have beginning with Ambrish Prabhu ki jai and Svaha Mataji ki jai and the list is very very big. You all have, we all have, I also did something something. For all the sacrifices I would like to on behalf of Radha Madhava, Gaura Nityananda, Panchatatva, on behalf of Srila Prabhupada and on my own behalf I would like thank all those devotees for whatever you have done.
praner arthe dhiya vacha
In four ways you serve, or sacrifices are of four kinds, anyway I will not discuss the whole thing. Prane give your life, life air gives you prane then the arthe, the economy development, "money talks and everything walks, money talks everything walks, money is sweeter than honey.
"laxmi is required for service of Narayan".
Prane ararthe dhiya- Some give their ideas, their fertile brains and they come up with ideas. And then others, vacha- they do, they talk it up, they spread the word around or the intelligent ideas, they share with others. So this way, I think we all have participated thus far, only little more to go, little more to go. And will be done. So, Nityananda Prabhu has to be pleased now. He is Adi Guru, and then Srila Prabhupada representing Adi Guru Nityananda Prabhu. He started this TOVP work, gound breaking 50 years ago and it has taken extra time. We don't have to get into the details or reasons for the delay, it's the monumental task also, it takes time. So, now I have been saying this past few days that two years from now when we will come to do the grand opening of TOVP. I mean this is not just another temple, we have all local temples, maybe state temple, this temple in Maharashtra, or temple in Karnataka or Temple in Uttar Pradesh or Ujjain, we have in Madhya Pradesh.
Some temples are like, national importance, but this one is of global one, the universal one. As the holy name reaches every town, every village, I keep saying this, from 'Nama to dhama', as living entities globally receive the nama, they begin chanting, 'Hare krishna Hare krishna, krishna krishna Hare Hare…Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare'
And that 'nama' brings them to dhama. Which dhama do they have brought to, Mayapur dhama ki jai. I don't like to say this, but Mecca, this is our Mecca. This is the temple for every single devotee around the world and every Gaudiya Vaisnava, would be coming and we are talking of next ten thousand years. For next thousand years, all over the planet, in every town, in every village, as holy name reaches them, they would be wanting to come to Mayapur dham and come to this temple, this TOVP temple to take darsana of Sri Sri Panchatatva, Radha Madhava Ashtasakhi, Prahlada Narsimhadev. I think it is going to be this way somewhere and parampara.
So this is very unique temple and it is the adbhut mandir, in that sense also, this astounding temple, and maybe we get the credit for building and completing this temple. All future generations will thank you for building this temple. Prabhupada says Bombay is my office, Mayapur is my place of pilgrimage, Vrndavana is my home. So, this is a place of pilgrimage of Srila Prabhupada and all the Gaudiya Vaisnavas. So, we have this opportunity to complete the project, the temple and dedicate unto all the future Gaudiya Vaishnava generations to come.
So let us all get behind this, this one, this task is common for all of us, so we beg everyone's participation, cooperation, that reminds me, "If you love me cooperate ", Prabhupada said, "If you love me", Prabhupada would like to see that we co-operate with each other or we co-operate with the authorities or some of our leaders who are responsible for completion of this project.
We should extend our cooperation in every possible ways and by doing so, we will be exhibiting, expressing our love for Srila Prabhupada. 'You all love Prabhupada? ' (asks Maharaj ji ) anyone here does not love Prabhupada. I love you Prabhupada, that's nice to hear that, but Prabhupada wanted to see that translated into action. Show your love for Prabhupada, don't just say 'I love you Prabhupada', that also must be said, we do say, but time to translate that into action, our love for Prabhupada. And that will be seen now, next 2 years, we would like to see your love towards Prabhupada especially in relationship with this Project. It is Srila Prabhupada's dream project and it is our duty to complete this project and offer this onto Guru and Gauranga, Guru Srila Prabhupada, Adi Guru Nityananda Prabhu, and 'Gauranga',, 'Nityananda' 'SrilaPrabhupadaki jai
'NitaiGaur Premanande – Hari HariBol'.
Thank you.
