Topic: Teachings from the Rama Mandir Pran Prathistha Event Date: 23rd January 2024 Speaker: HH Lokanath Swami Guru maharaj Jai Sri Ram! Jai Bhakta Hanuman! Ramaya Rama Bhadraya RamachandrayaVedhase Raghu Nathaya Nathaya Sitayah Pataye Namaha Translation To the great Rama,Raghunatha,Ramabhadra (Different names to Lord Rama) the Lord who is the consort of GoddesSeethu,mysaluations to you. Hari Hari! The day or the moment weall  were waiting for the past 500 years, yesterday in 2024 that moment finally came .We all were witnesses to that moment. I was also there. There were 800-1000 special guests. Mostly there were saints, celebrities, sportsmen, industrialists etc were present. One of the guests was the Sun god. There was a lot of fog and darkness for many days. So, Sun Godalso appeared. Lord Rama appeared in the same dynasty as the Sun God. As that moment came nearer, he appeared completely in the sky, otherwise he was not there in the early morning. Some austerities which were performed they were called as Karma Kanda. I didn’t like that thing and also the fact that the Karma kandi Brahmanas were performing those austerities. Our Prime Minister Modiji. Yogiji and Mohan Bhagavat and many more were in the sanctum sanctorumand activities were going on. In the beginning we couldn’t have darshans of the deities, then in the end of Karma Kand, finally we had darshans of Ram Lalla. The Sun God appeared before this. When we had darshans, that moment was very special. That was the highlight of the occasion. For others and myself it was a special moment. I also had the darshans of Ram Lalla. I always say that we go for darshans but when he wants to give darshans then only he will give. He gave me darshans yesterday. I was thinking that only I and Rama Lalla was there for some moments. I so mesmerized by him. I just had darshans and thought about him only.  My travel was successful. Hari Hari. So, the ritual was finally completed. The temple was inaugurated. Then he gave darshans in that temple after the Pran Prathistha. The atmosphere and the arrangements by the Yogi government were very nice and of fine quality. Then the speakers were reminding us that when Rama returnedfromthe 14 yearexile, how Ayodhya would have been decorated and how they have been waiting for Ram. In a similar way this occasion of yesterday’s event was celebrated. This is not a daily affair. This is not business as usual. It was special event yesterday, celebrated with special enthusiasm. We have been waiting for this moment for five hundred years, Vikramaditya was a sage who helped in the development of Ayodhya and he placed a lot of deities in Ayodhya and also the deity of Ram Lalla or it might be Ram Darbar also. So that temple was destroyedby Muslim invaders who built a Mosque at this place five hundred years ago. It was the same situation for Rama Lala as the fourteen year exile period as mentioned in the Ramayana. He stayed in the hut. So yesterday there was a lot of remembrances also. Many people gave their lives for this temple and again that the deity is established. A big deity was also installed apart from the original deity. Few years back, Muslims destroyed the temple. Twenty fiveyears ago, Hindus broke that Mosque. Then they could not do much, this place is of Ram that too in Ayodhya. Then after the verdict of the Supreme Court,  theydecalred that here the Ram Mandir will be built here and the deity will be installed here.Thus justice was delieverd. After five hundered years that moment finally came yesterday. The temple is inaugurated and many people like Modiji ,Yogiji and Mohan Bhagavat ji spoke to the whole world about this. People were also tuned in. So, it had happened nicely. What next?This were the questions raised. They were answering that. Everything happened nicely. After Pran Pratishtha was the only goal? Is that the ultimate goal? All this was true.They said that we have toestablish Hindu religion and the Nationalism. We have to make this nation Hindu. I will say that we have to establish Bhagavad dharma, Sanatana dharma sankirtan  should be established in India. This is the goal given to us. What next I was thinking. CB Antya-khaṇḍa 4.126 pṛthivīteācheyatanagarādigrāma sarvatrapracārahaibe mora nāma Translation Pṛthivīte means "on the surface of the world." Pṛthivīte. Āche, "there are," yata, "as many." Pṛthivīteācheyatanagarādi, "towns," grāma, "villages." Pṛthivīteācheyatanagarādigrāma: "As many towns and villages there are on the surface of the globe," sarvatrapracārahoibe mora nāma, Lord Caitanya says, "everywhere people will know My name." This is the prediction of Lord Caitanya. My glories will be spread in all over the world. We have to make India as the spiritual head of the whole world, and make this world Vishnu maye.This descriptions are given in Vedas. I was thinking that Srila Prabhupada had spread this movement in the whole world and he is actually become the Guru of the whole world .He is not Up guru or South Guru. He is not local he is Guru of the whole world. Yesterday, the temple was established here. This was long due, but I was thinking that Srila Prabhupada established the Juhu temple in the financial capital of India. He also established Ram mandir inDelhi ,England, London and in Washingdon DC he established Ram Darbar-Ram, Sita, Laxman and Hanuman. Haribol. I was thinking that 1000 guests were present there, they didn’t know about that how Srila Prabhupada has established ISKCON so successfully and it is expanding and with it HarinaamSankirtan is also expanding everywhere. My thoughts are many but I was thinking that this inauguration happened nicely and the it was well organised. It paid attention to all the details. Then in few years we have to inaugurate the TOVP! I was noting that at the time of opening of TOVP, we have to start preparing for in advance so that the same atmosphere is created as it was created yesterday. This temple is also waiting to inauguration for the last 500 years. So, Lord Nityananda’s prediction comes true. Sri Navadvipa-dhama Mahatmya, Shloka 75, Ch-5 adbhuta mandira eka haibeprakäçagauräìgeranitya-sevähaibevikäça Translation “One amazing temple will manifest here, wherein the daily worship of ÇréGauräìgaMahäprabhu will constantly increase. Lord Chaitanya’s prediction was fulfilled by Srila Prabhupadaas he preached his glories by spreading the Hare Krsna Mahamantra: Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare in the whole world. Ishta-deveVijnapti- Prayer to One’s Beloved Lord (from Prarthana) by Narottama Das Thakur brajendra-nandanajei, śacī-sutahoilo sei, balarāmahoilonitāi- from harihari! bifale(1) Translation "Lord Krishna, who is the son of the King of Vraja, became the son of Saci (Lord Caitanya), and Balaramabecame Nitai. The holy name delivered all those souls who were lowly and wretched. The two sinners Jagaiand Madhai are evidence of this." One is Krsna and one is Balram in the form of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Nityananda Prabhu.  Nityananda Prabhu told Jiva Goswami about this prediction. Then we have to learn a lot of things from yesterday so that we can inaugurate the TOVP should become talk of the town and everyone should be involved in that. It should be the talk of the town and it should be publicized. This all also has to happen. Modiji said that yesterday’s event should be remembered as a historical event of Pran Prathishtha. This moment will be cherished for evr and it was a historical event. So,  afterone thousandyears the  dreams for devotees came true. What to do next?  How can we propagate the mood of Rama, our religion, Ram vani Ram rajya etc everywhere. This will be remembered for thousands of years! This preaching activities are given by Chaitanya Mahaprabhufor 10,000 years. This is Kaliyuga’s golden period. He is the golden avatar from where this golden period started. CC Madhya 6.104 suvarṇa-varṇohemāṅgo varāṅgaścandanāṅgadī sannyāsa-kṛcchamaḥśānto niṣṭhā-śānti-parāyaṇaḥ Translation ‘The Lord [in the incarnation of Gaurasundara] has a golden complexion. Indeed, His entire body, which is very nicely constituted, is like molten gold. Sandalwood pulp is smeared all over His body. He will take the fourth order of spiritual life [sannyāsa] and will be very much self-controlled. He will be distinguished from Māyāvādīsannyāsīs in that He will be fixed in devotional service and will spread the saṅkīrtana movement.’ This event was a boost to ISKCON activities and people are coming to their consciousness. Yesterday a lot of kirtan were performed but Hare krishnamahamantra kirtan Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare Was not performed. I was thinking when will it happen? There are a lot of things like this. Sri Sri Gaur Nitai ki Jai! Few days before, Nitai Gaur came in his ratha in Ayodhya and this Gaur nitai is Rama and Laxman and they are only Krsna and Balrama. This secret when will everyone will know? People have no clue who are they?We tell thme about Gaur Nitai.  So this is our agenda to tell people. People are aware of Ram and Laxman. People are not aware of Laxman is also lord. There is possibility that they may know this. They know Krsna and Balrama but they don’t know Gaur Nitai. There are more knowers of Ram Laxman and Krsna and Balrama. When will that day come when: Kabe Ha’be Bolo by Bhaktivinod Thakur kabeha'be bolo se-dinaāmār (āmār) aparādhaghuci', śuddhanāmeruci, kṛpā-baleha'behṛdoyesañcār (1) Translation When, O when, will that day be mine? When will you give me your blessings, erase all my offences and give my heart a taste [ruci] for chanting the Holy Name in purity? When will that day come when people know Gaur Nitai. When that day will come? This Hare Krsna movementis established by Srila Prabhupada but we have to expand this even more. Who is Gaur Notai, who is Panchattava? When will they know about Mayapur, Panchattava Radha Madhav? They know aboutAyodhya, Vrindavan but they don’t know about Mayapur Dham. Mayapur Dham is more than Vrindavan. When will they know about that? In 1976, when Srila Prabhupada asked me to go from Vrindavan to Mayapur for Padayatra so people used to ask that you are sadhu and you are going to Mayapur? You are going to the city of Maya?  So we have to enlighten people about the HarinaamSankirtanaand deity worship shouldalso be there and in Satya Yuga medidation was there, in Treta yuga yagna is important and in Dvapar Yuga Deity worship is important but in Kaliyuga dominance of Hare Krsna Mahmantra : Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna, Hare Hare Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare should be there. This is the dharma of Kailyuga. So to establish the dharma of Kali Yuga, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared and established the sankirtana dharma. BG 4.8 paritranayasadhunam vinasaya ca duskrtam dharma-samsthapanarthaya sambhavamiyugeyuge TRANSLATION In order to deliver the pious and to annihilate the miscreants, as well as to reestablish the principles of religion, I advent Myself millennium after millennium. So establish this - Rama, Krsna and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu appeared and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu established the Sankirtan Dharma. CC Ādi 17.21 harernāmaharernāma harernāmaivakevalam kalaunāstyevanāstyeva nāstyevagatiranyathā   Translation ‘In this Age of Kali there is no other means, no other means, no other means for self-realization than chanting the holy name, chanting the holy name, chanting the holy name of Lord Hari.’ This is the truth, it just not said like that. We have to make people understand this and establish this dharma. Now Rama Lala is here! Ram Lala Pran Prathishtha ki Jai!They said what is next? Many leaders said this- Where do we go from  here? So our GaudiyaVaishnavas’s thoughts are also there. Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s has given us his masterplan and a goal to achieve. So we are associated with him and  we have to knowwhat we have to do. So this is just the beginning, a lot is left. Padayatra means the preaching of the holynameand the establishment of HarinaamSankirtana. We have just  startedspreading the glories of Holyname. 1n 1986, we celebrated Chaitanya Mahaprabhu’s 500th birthday anniversary from Mayapur to Kanyakumari , then we decided that we will continue it till 1996 for Srila Prabhupada‘s100thbirth anniversary. ISKCON was going to celebrate it. But my Godbrother H.H. HridayanandSwami Maharaj asked me till when padayatra will continue? I said that it will continue for ten more years up until 1996. I thought that he will be pleased to hear this but he said that “Only ten years? Why not for ten thousand years?” Srila Prabhupada also had the same plan which we were not thinking at that time.  So this plan and program of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and it will spread till ten thousand years. For us Gaudiya Vaishnavas the Ram temple is now built, now the next bestthing is to spread the glories of the holyname. Wherever this sankirtan will spread and it will spread in all parts of the world. This is the predictionof Rama , Krsna and Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. Wherever, kirtan reaches, the the number of devotees increases, a  temple should be there. A temple is there in Ayodhya but everywhere temple should be established and JaiSri Krsna should be chanted everywhere. Rama Chandra, Krsna Chandra and ChaitanyaChandra temples should be established. There will beGita, Bhagavad and Ram kathas everywhere and the cows will also be protected. So, in this way Saket on earth or Vrindavan on earth can be established wherever temple is established. So this work will continue. We all have to preach, read, distribute books, Ram and Chaitanya prasadam and celebrate a lot of festivals. Humans like celebrations, in every festival new people come, so Srila Prabhupada has give us a lot of festivals and we have to organise these festivals and spread this Krsna Consciousness. All Consciousnesses are involved in that. If you have Rs. 100 then you can buy Rs.2 things also. All feelings come in Krsna Consciousness like Allah Consciousness etc. Everyone is included, no is is excluded. Modiji said  Om Sarve BhavantuSukhinah, Sarve Santu Nir-Aamayaah | Sarve BhadraanniPashyantu, Maa Kashcid-Duhkha-Bhaag-Bhavet | Translation May every one be happy, may every one be free from all diseases. May every one see goodness and auspiciousness in everything, may none be unhappy or distressed Please note. Everyone came. All shouldcome in  thisshloka. This shloka is for all Muslims, Christians or Hindus. The soul is not Hindu, Muslim or Christian. This duality is established which creates confusion. This Krsna Consciousness is above all this. Remember this goal, we have to see till where we can spread this movement and till where we can distribute. Get ready to fight. Srila Prabhupada said preaching is fighting. Bg. 11.33 tasmāttvamuttiṣṭhayaśolabhasva jitvāśatrūnbhuṅkṣvarājyaṁsamṛddham mayaivaitenihatāḥpūrvameva nimitta-mātraṁ bhava savya-sācin Translation Therefore get up. Prepare to fight and win glory. Conquer your enemies and enjoy a flourishing kingdom. They are already put to death by My arrangement, and you, O Savyasācī, can be but an instrument in the fight. Be the medium and be glorious. I wish you all success.HarinaamSankirtan ki Jai! Haribol!
