Lokanath Swami Maharaj Tolerance Pastime


Centennial days were filled with devotees flying over from various countries to the program held in Kolkata stadium and a rally was arranged at that time. Shortage of facilities was making it difficult for things to be arranged properly.

The same program then took place in Delhi and a train by the name Shatabdi Express, was named after the Centennial Program of Srila Prabhupada and was booked for the devotees from Delhi to Kolkata. The whole train was filled with the sweet singing of holy names by devotees all around. With the completion of the program in Delhi, Gurumaharaj started the program at Cross Maidan the place where Srila Prabhupada planted the seed of bhakti in Mumbai. Meeting HH Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaj and HH Bhakti Purshottam Swami Maharaj at the end Gurumaharaj reached his stay place by midnight where he met HG Keshav Prabhu and HG Parmatma Prabhu who were honouring their Prasadam as it was late night and both were hungry. 

 "You both alone are taking prasadam, ask me too, I too am hungry" 

"This is leftover prasad Gurumaharaj how can we give it to you" they replied 

 "No I will eat the same prasad as you both" saying this Gurumaharaj sat with them and honoured the prasad on the same plate

Thus we can understand from this pastime that Gurumaharaj is so humble that he sat with his disciples without any expectation and how absorbed he is in service that he didn't even have the time to honour prasad.

Shrirang Chavan was a relative of  Gurumaharaj from Mumbai who came to inspire him and convinced him to rejoin and complete his studies.

Gurumaharaj’s elder brother informed everyone to take care of him and ensure that he doesn't go anywhere out of Mumbai.  Being there Gurumaharaj started reading The times of India every day for hours to improve his English. It was after the marriage of S. Chavan that he along with his wife shifted to the room next to Gurumaharaj. During those days it was difficult to get water in the Dadar area, Knowing that Guru Maharaj would stay awake studying the whole night his sister-in-law would ask him to wake her up when water comes at night so that she can fill the water for using it later in the day. Sometimes it would so happen that Gurumaharaj would go to continue his reading by keeping the bucket to fill b...

Once a grihastha disciple happened to converse with a Panda (Pujari) in Jagannath temple in Puri.  The Panda was narrating how Lord mercifully even today speaks and performs pastimes with certain devotees on this planet and one such person who is the senior most pujari of the temple, was narrating that in Iskcon there is one Lokanath Swami with whom Jagganath speaks!

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.
