JAYAPATĀKĀ SWAMI: I am just coming back from the Indraprastha Apollo Hospital. I came to know that this temple is about 10 or 12 minutes away from there. So I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity and come and take darśana of the Deities in the temple before I went home.

I saw a picture where His Holiness Gopāla Kṛṣṇa Goswami Mahārāja was welcoming me. Lord Kṛṣṇa has called back my friends from this material world. You are all very fortunate that you had the association of His Holiness Gopāla Kṛṣṇa Goswami Mahārāja. So again I repeat that you are all very fortunate to have had his association. I was very fortunate as a bhakta from 1968, to have his association, and then after that in India we had his association, and we were together. Here in Delhi you have the beautiful Lakṣmī Narasiṁhadeva with Prahlāda Mahārāja Deities.

I underwent a small operation. Two doctors had come from Chennai and did my surgery. They said that I would have to remain in Delhi for at least two weeks. After that I would like to go back to Māyāpur.

All of you devotees here should think how best you can serve the Deities, do saṅkīrtana. In 1973, Śrīla Prabhupāda had given a lecture on his Vyāsa-pūjā and had said that all his followers should become paramahaṁsas.

I have created a special email and many devotees have started corresponding with me, about more than 60 devotees have corresponded. This email I have created is especially for the disciples of His Holiness Gopāla Kṛṣṇa Goswami Mahārāja to correspond with me. The email id is: gkg.jpscare@gmail.com

I was fortunate to be here in time to get darśana of the Deities before the temple closed today. Hare Kṛṣṇa!
