KOLKATA

The first batsarik tirobhav tithi of Prabhupad Baidhyanath Goswami

I strongly believe theres nothing called our will, we may hav wishes - but the stirring of those wishes is in hand of almighty. Its His will how they could menifest.

My uncle by birth , by lords grace my mantradiksha guru , has passed away on Sunday, 6th July 2014 , at 4.30 pm. Tithi was navami, few hours before Lord Jagannath's ultarath last year.Today is His first death anniversary. A day prior to His death his Antarjali , releasing the wish to have him here anymore was done in manas.

Kulapurohit came few days back in my absence and declared that he is going to perform his shraddha on ekadashi, i.e. on Monday 27th july '15.Returning from school , I just got angry upon him. But it is the family tradition to obey this family's decision. Their generations has served our Sridhar Jiu for almost a century and includung dadu , my grandfather never used to oppose their ritualistic decisions. I too didnt oppose and accepted the date to sit for shraddha.

Thought to go to Shyamsunder temple on the way back to home from school today. Since last night was not feeling good and just wished to sit there silenly for few hours.

Shraddha, for me is manas. It cant be ritualistic though socially and religiously we do perform some.Sitting n surfing the net on ultarath which is going to happen tomorrow, got to see this. Debsayani ekadashi falls on this 27 th. What else could be there than this day !! Jagannath returns back to  his temple, Srivishnu even goes to sleep, pandanpur yathra begins, this Debsayani is the renunciation of all desires. For devotees it is the nirvikalpa. No sankalp no hence no vikalpa. Only bliss....

This lazy one, witnessing everything as your will ... and witnessing all is well and a beautiful Asadi Katha♥
