Glories of HH Gopal Krsna Goswami Maharaj
Speaker: HH Lokanath Swami Maharaj
Hare Krsna. I have sent someone to get an health update of HH Gopal Krsna Goswami Maharaja and until then, please kindly continue to pray for Maharaja’s speedy recovery.
We do not have any new update as of now but devotees are waiting outside ICU to get the latest updates for HH Gopal Krsna Goswami Maharaja’s health. Additional devotees have joined after 6am just to inform you that HH Gopal Krsna Goswami Maharaja suffered a cardiac arrest multiple times yesterday.
He is admitted in synergy hospital Dehradun where I am also present where Maharaja is on life support and the doctors are trying their best. Acme is a life support machine which is being transported from Delhi to Dehradun which may help revive Maharaja so then Maharaja can be transferred to Delhi for further care.
Some ISKCON leaders and senior disciples of Maharaja have also reached here even this hour, and now only Krsna can help to improve Maharaja’s health. So please kindly pray to Sri Sri Radha Parthasarathi for Maharaja’s recovery. Narasimha Yagya was also performed in Mayapur and Delhi
and please continue with Sankirtan yagya and offer oblations to Krsna in the form of Sankirtan Yagya.
enechi ausadhi maya nasbaro lagi'
hari nama maha mantra lao tumi magi (Jiv Jago 4)
Translation: I have brought the medicine that will wipe out the disease of illusion from which you are suffering. Take this maha mantra Hare Krsna Hare Krsna Krsna Krsna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare.
Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu says the above. And as we know, a friend in need is friend indeed. Maharaja needs help at this hour in terms of our prayers. Our best friend is Krsna who will fulfil all our desires so kindly encourage others to chant as well for Maharaja. Maharaja’s urine output has improved due to additional medications
and this is wonderful improvement!
Our prayers have been heard by Krsna, nevertheless his health condition remains critical. You could also arrange Kirtan in your respective temples and temple leaders can organize the Kirtans. Congregation devotees may also join and we all devotees shall continue to chant a few more rounds and offer them to HH Gopal Krsna Goswami Maharaj.
All of you should forward this message to other devotees. HH Gopal Krsna Maharaja’s health update:
Respected Maharajas, Prabhujis, and Matajis, please accept our humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada. The latest update is that Guru Maharaja responded by moving his lips, when Dr. Saligrama Krsna Prabhu of our Healthcare team called out to him ten minutes back. Maharaja’s urine output has improved due to additional medical support.
While this is wonderful, Gurudeva’s health condition remains critical. We beg that your intense prayers continue and not to believe in any irrelevant rumors.
Your servants

On screen you can see that the alter set up of Maharaja which he carries with himself wherever he goes. Guru Maharaja says, ‘I remember, in 1977, when Srila Prabhupada was sick, I asked him, 'we all are doing something or the other for your health, is there anything that we are not doing?' Srila Prabhupada said, 'just keep chanting Hare Krishna.' On screen you can see images of HH Gopal Krsna Goswami Maharaja with Srila Prabhupada on other important occasions.
In the past two months Maharaja has inaugurated two projects, ISKCON Rohini, Delhi NCR and ISKCON Rukmani Vihar, Vrindavan. Also, there has been a land breaking ceremony here in Dehradun
This is a letter by Srila Prabhupada to Maharaja in 1969, at the time of his Initiation. We can continue chanting for some more time. We are reminding you all that Guru Maharaja’s 75th Vyasa Puja offerings are to be written and sent back on time.
We had planned to sit together and write the offerings today, but now we are all m sincerely praying for HH Gopal Krsna Goswami Maharaja today. But you must think about the glories of Guru Maharaja, his interactions with you and how he has influenced you in your life.
You have to open your hearts and you all must not think that whether to write this or not? Do not think that ‘only new devotees are supposed to write offerings, I don't need to send.’ He carries this book with himself while traveling during the Chaturmasya. Today is a Sunday, so you can spare time today and write the offering.
If you you have any doubts you can approach senior devotees to get more guidance so you can write an offering to Guru Maharaja with the mood of surrender, gratitude and love. We shall end this session here now and your all may chant more rounds for the health of HH Gopal Krsna Goswami Maharaj or perform Kirtan for him. Hare Krishna.
