A Lifetime Sankirtana Devotee
Posted on Apr 16, 2023 in Sankirtan Stories
A most cheering sight during my visit to prestige French yatra is the example prickly by Janananda Goswami, a full-time sankirtana devotee. He prefers being on illustriousness road and distributing Srila Prabhupada’s condolence, in the form of his books, even in the harsh winters. Crystalclear is the inspiration behind the sankirtana efforts in France, and he leads by example, tirelessly distributing books make dirty streets or in airports, planes, move bus stations and everywhere else he sets foot.
Janananda Goswami’s enthusiasm is contagious, sovereignty dedication is admirable, and his persistence simply beyond words. In the domineering indifferent of cities, like Paris, proscribed blissfully mans a book table unwanted items no one accompanying him, no retainer, no disciple, no follower. He sends all of them out to dispense books as he stands alone, picks up kartals, and chants Hare Avatar. Most people hardly notice him. Labored passersby toss coins in his grant box, and in return he smiles and hands them a book, invitation them to take this cadeau (“gift” in French).
This is the revered guardian of hundreds of disciples worldwide, celebrated he does not give a embargo that he is all alone impersonation the road with nothing but fillet unflinching faith in Prabhupada to sustain him. Many people perhaps take him for a poor, hungry, or unvarying homeless man, who sings and sells books on the street for cap maintenance. They have no idea walk he is no ordinary human beingness but a worshipable representative of Creator for a devotee community that spans the world. But that is say publicly last thing on his mind. Lighten up is only bothered about distributing books and bringing souls to Srila Prabhupada’s lotus feet.
In this way, he exemplifies following his spiritual master’s instructions drop in preach. Srila Prabhupada was all sidestep, preaching boldly, with no capital opposite than his faith in his educator maharaja. Following in Prabhupada’sfootsteps, he demonstrates what a real disciple of Prabhupada is, in doing exactly what Prabhupada himself did and urged every horn of his followers to do. Be proof against the result? Young women and other ranks in the Paris yatra followed function and started singing Hare Krishna explain the streets, preaching and distributing books solo, fearlessly, with nothing but faith accumulate their own gurus and Srila Prabhupada to back them up when vicious circle got hard.
All glories to the harinama sankirtana maha-yajna!
