Pujyapada Srila Janardana Maharaj is my Godbrother. We were together a long time ago. At that time, he was rendering service in the Shyamananda Gaudiya Math in Medinipur with my Godbrother Pujyapada Bhakti Gaurava Vaikhanasa Maharaj. He was studying Sanskrit Vyakaran grammar from Bhakti Gaurava Vaikhanasa Maharaj.

Now, today, he is no longer with us. He performed his departure nityalila.

After he left Syamananda Gaudiya Math, he constructed one Math in Kharagapur, Subhasapali. My math is also in Kharagpur, Chotodangra (That is another place).  Pujyapada Janardana Maharaj, by his guru’s mercy, from our Gurudeva Bhaktisiddhanata Saraswati Thakur’s mercy, he constructed another Math in Kharagpur in Pancharuliya. He has two temples, two Maths there, to preach Gurudeva’s instructions.

The Vaisnavas accepted disciples like Sri Gurupada padma  Nityalila Om Vishnu Pada Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur. He would speak the truth without any adulteration.

Bhakti Jivana Janardan Goswami Maharaj was following in Guru’s footsteps. From childhood he was a brahmacari. He accepted tridandi sannyasa from my godbrother Nityalila Pravista Om Visnu Pada Srila Bhakti Gaurava Vaikhanasa Maharaj. It is of benefit to me to glorify his qualities because he is my godbrother.

My request to everyone is remember Guru, Vaisnava, and Bhagavan.

tinera smaraṇe haya vighna-vināśana
anāyāse haya nija vāñchita-pūraṇa

If I glorify all this tattva, the science and the philosophy of Guru and Vaisnavas and Krishna, then it will be a long article. But today, I am remembering the lotus feet of my godbrother Sripad Bhakti Jivana Janardan Maharaj, his Pada Padma.

I can purify myself when I glorify his qualities.

He was a brahmacari from the beginning of his childhood. Then he was  a sannyasi.

He accepted Sat Guru and he fearlessly preached Krishna Katha everywhere.

Whoever heard his hari katha, truly I am saying, if they follow him, they are guaranteed to get all kinds of auspiciousness and perfection. No doubt there. I am not expanding this article. I offer my dandavat pranams at the lotus feet of my respected godbrother, Sripad Janardana Maharaj, and beg his mercy.

I also joined the temple of my Gurudeva Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati Thakur’s lotus feet, when I was 11 years. I left my house. Now I am 83 years. So in this, the last stage of my life, if he can bless me from the spiritual world, then I can remember my Guru’s lotus feet, and I can preach, and I can glorify him, and utter his name. And I can give up my body. I am praying at his lotus feet that knowingly or unknowingly, if I have done any offence to his lotus feet, please, by his noble qualities, he can forgive me. This is my last prayer at his lotus feet.
