Lokanath Swami's Sanyasa Danda


 In 2018, the state of Nagpur witnessed a sweet pastime. Pandhurang Prabhuji, his personal servant, sitting near the lotus feet of Guru Maharaj was showing him Guru Maharaj and Prabhupada's pictures. Seggrating the Juhu pics, “Let’s final those pictures.” said Gurumaharaj.

 “Why don’t you select the pictures which we can put into archives, Gurumaharaj”

 Gurumaharaj started selecting the pictures and there came a  picture of Prabhupada going up the stairs and Maharaj coming down the stairs making Guru Maharaj's Shikha and Danda visible.

 Guru Maharaj, should we take this picture? Only your shikha and danda are visible and nothing else.

In a jokingly manner Gurumaharaj said, “My danda is very famous in Iskcon”

Sometimes it would so happen that Gurumaharaj would go to continue his reading by keeping the bucket to fill b...

When Gurumaharaj took sannyas he wrote a letter to his family that now I have took sannyasa and I want one more person from our family to join me, so HG Sita Mataji, Gurumaharaj’s sister took her son, who was 5-6 years old to Juhu temple.  Gurumaharaj to pick her up went to Vile Parle which is far from the temple so Gurumaharaj took the boy on his back from Vile Parle to Juhu temple on foot only to not waste Srila Prabhupāda’s money.
