sI am here in Kharagpur. They say he loves cows. It is true. He grow up from childhood in temple. And he was doing all his preaching activities. And now this 2 temples in Kharagpur. Bhakti Jivan Acarya Maharaj, he was his disciple. But after he took sannyasi from … Maharaj. And our Bhakti Kamala Govinda maharaj He pass away also…acarya. This temple is our mission. And I have met him from ‘70’s. My ‘80’s . So I know many things about him. Everything we cannot discuss. How he preached, how he constructed temple, they taking care of deities, and brahmacaris, and make festivals. … parikrama. Navadvipa parikrama. This is as usual … nothing to say something special. .. like this or this.
He was more going to navadvipa Parikrama in Devananada Gaudiya Math. Then he separated from other… started his own temple in khargpur. Also, he was going to Vraja Mandala Parikrama and staying in Keshava Gaudiya Math.
His specilaity is in Gaudiya Math, was he always glorifying to Radharani. Always he never speak hare krishna, haribol, his Always speak ‘Radhe Bolo’. Jai Radhe… stay alone.. Jia Radhe Vrishabandana Nandini Radhe, when you will bless me. And when somebody come, he only say Radhe Bolo. This was his unique … He Prabhupada. Prabhupada when you bless me. His glories and exclusivity spoke and me, he wants, when we met in Kharagpur. Ansd me and Puri were coming. … You calling Krishnas name. You singing Krishnas name. But you know to please krishna is v difficult. Its not as simple to achieve to him. If you serve to radharani, easily you will get Krishna. So he was quoting from Radharani Yashoda Nidi and from Vilap Kusumanjai and other … Raghunatha Goswamis manah Siksa . And he always quoted from such like Prema .. Stava Raja i.e Radharani’s … and he told me to read thisecause in Bhagavatam there is no so much discussion about Radharani. Only few chapters there about Vraja Lila and is conjugal mood, only few verses there. With gopis not especially any pastimes there. But our Goswamis have written all … Rupa Goswami Vidagda Madhava… and all these moods… And he always says these.
He always, once he asked me .. to Bhaktivedanta Vamana Goswami Maharaj, Bhakti Vedanta Narayana Goswami Maharaj , also our Guru , with our Gurudeva , and our Nityananada Prabhu… disciple who was publishing in Brahmapur. He asked .. what is rupanuga? This rupanuga word is actually, he emphasised and preaching… what is the actually meaning of rupanuga. And he published one small book ‘Rupanuga Bhajan’. Because in Rupanuga there is no in any scriptures it is written. There is only raganupa and kamanuga, kamadmika, ragatmika. But Rupanuga, it is only used by raghunatah Goswami, in Manah siksa . He wrote this in the last verse. So he quoted this. And especially he was giving from Chaitany Charitamrita…. Mahaprabhu came, then also quoted from Radha … Nidi… yasa … this verse… by smelling from distance Radharani’;s body aroma, this cloth is touching the air, entering in the room, krishnas moods.. then Krishna becomes uncontrolled Attracted. This is verse written in Radha … Nidi… he quoted these verses. So when he quotes this, it becomes new topic, new discussion, and gradually, also, Pujyapada Srila BV Narayana Goswami , he also quoted from his preaching. He l;earn from him all these verses. … conjugal mood… all these verses. So … exclusively … he was doing this rupanuga bhajan. So he always pray. He told me., personally told me , I once I dream to prabhupada, and I ask Prabhupada, this life I will attain in service, lila.. I will get in this life. Prabhupada told me, don’t worry, later you will come, you practice… you will come. So he spoke me, and my mind became steady, and sure, prabhupada told, Gurudeva told, and I … no problem. And he always … every morning, after morning … he sit, should hand, and everyday, he was practicing uttering, .. this Vilapa Kusum Anjali, Radha Sudha Nidi… and Raghunatha Goswami’s all these Manah Siksa and Radharani’s glorification about Radha Kinda and Govardhana…. Same topic he was, but he never discuss in public with this.

When he go to public preaching, always he speak as usual about soul and body and … all these things. But when sannyasis and brahmacaris all they come, then he discuss with them. He told me also one … I never speak in public. When I go to speak, I make … to protect this lila. Should not be misunderstood… by others. So.. he was very deeply he realised all this and …
And his last moment how he passed away . Just he … and sit , and he was praying with folded hands . Same he was praying and sitting and … When brahmacaris came, he saw him sitting there , same folded hands. And he asked him he is late, why you are not compete. But he saw already, he already passed away. This is the glorius departure … also with the others…
Keeping cows and affections to cows. This is true. He loves cows. And he wants , he told, from … Visvanatah Chakravati Thakur, … Kandambini, he told, cows are our favorable bhava anukula. We remember cows to Vrindavan and Goswamis… radharani and krishna and the gopis… when we see cow we immediately , our bhava changes. But if you go to Dwaraka Krishna or .. Krishna or … Krishna. U never come to remember this Vrisndavan Bhava. So this … anukula Bhava…this all these are …practically he was entering into this mood. So once he discussion, personally I was there, he was explaining this. Therefore he was keeping cows and … same mood of.. so many such special thoughts, spcial …realsisations from goswamis, scriptures, he was saying,a nd also he was discussing with the vaisnavas.
And very simple. If somebody give some money, some paper note, he never touch …
Once I tell, why don’t you touch. .. He said, no, many slaughterhouse, butcher, they also touching this , the blood, they are using .. so I don’t want to touch this. He told me personally. … very simple and … I am more ..inspired by him in my life and to go to deeply in granthas of goswamis about all this konjugal mood… But he ws going to discuss all this…
So in our gaudiya math now preaching who was giving more.. discussing this conjugal mood about Radharani , all these verses… they came from him. So .. special.. we are rupanuga. This word , Srila Raghunatha Goswamis mana skisa,, he used it to be , and small book he has written also about this..

Many other kings were there. Many discussions were there.

And always he used to relatsionship like, you are disciple, but discuss like a friend. He always keep his hand.,.. told to sit here.. near to him. And he gave to … no, vaisnavas, how we can discuss all thses things … So that was his mercy…Now we understand … that time was not so serious…but now understand how his causeless mercy, was disctiubuting this harikatha… now we understand.

… there are many things… to know. But here they have not written. Only about cows. Other things. There are many pastimes. When we meet together, we can discuss. Ok? Gaura premanada..
