Srila Prabhupada’s Disappearance Abhishek
A day to remember… A special day with mixed feelings and emotions of happiness and sadness but a day where all the devotees united to glorify and show their love to Srila Prabhupada.
Sri Mayapur although already a very auspicious place on this earth, is most special for the devotees because, of course we have Prabhupada Puspa Samadhi temple.
In a very imposing building, stands a very noble altar with the most shinny golden Srila Prabhupada sitting on his Vyasasan like a king. But such a humble king, such a presence emanating a golden effulgence and showering is Mercy to each and everyone who comes before him with folded hands.
One cannot feel anything else than Love for this soul who gave his life to save us.
After a very loud kirtan at the morning program, Srila Prabhupada was carried on a palanquin in a procession to his Puspa Samadhi followed by hundreds of dancing and singing devotees, not all white elephants but multicolored elephants…all dancing with raised arms for their spiritual master.
After a miraculous smooth entry into an over crowded Samadhi temple room, our founder Acharya was placed on the altar with the Large Golden murti. Then some of Prabhupada disciples opened their hearts and shared with all of us, very special moments they had with their spiritual master and even some unique little secret stories. Some were so funny and sweet it made the sadness that was in some devotees heart, quickly turn into bliss and big smiles and of course a few tears… but tears of Joy and gratefulness for being in this place at this moment surrounded by all of Srila Prabhupada’s Spiritual family.
Abishek was also performed followed by Puspanjali were it seemed like even the Demi Gods were showering Prabhupada with a colorful rain of flower petals. It was a sweet moments and we all felt safe and loved and protected by Our Founder Acarya. Lots of hugs were exchanged between the devotees who were once again reminded how much we care for each other, how much Prabhupada gave us and how we should and owe to Him to share with as many people as we can this amazing secret of Krsna consciousness.
Evening was just as sweet when the lights closed and thousands of small ghee lamps were offered to our most dear Spiritual father and Grand father while HG Naru Gopal sang for His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta swami Srila Prabhupada…
Now being the Gita distribution marathon In Sri Mayapur, all of us can pray Srila Prabhupada and get more Mercy by giving books to everyone we meet and in this way show our gratitude to Our founder Acharya.
Thank you so much Srila Prabhupada for all you did for us, there are no words to express how we feel
And how much we Love you…
And Thank you for the most delicious Prasadam feasts…
